PLR and Keywords – Site Testing Expanded
Yesterdays post brought out a topic to be expanded so I figured it would be good to address them here. First a review of what was discussed.
One of the most common types of PLR (private label rights) that you will find is article packs. These can be a great way to get a variety of content for new or existing web sites. You have probably seen the various monthly memberships where you get a variety of articles on different topics, You need to do the keyword research first though.
One I use is Expert Content Monthly. I get 12 topics with 25 articles on each topic. This makes great content for niche blogs but…
Not all of the topics are equally valuable.
Now when I decide to do a topic there are some expenses in both time and money so it is not likely that I will do all twelve. After all I need to get an appropriate domain, install a new blog (although that has gotten easier with Expert WordPress), I need to redo the articles a bit to make them unique to me and then I need to start a linking strategy.
One of the questions was
Takeaway, you need to focus time and energy where they will have the greatest payoff. When you set up these sites up, it appears that Adsense is your only way to monetize them. Is it really worth the effort?
First I use Adsense as an initial way to monetize this type of site. It is quick and easy and helps me to see if people are buyers by the number of clicks. As I track the ads they click it allows me to see what type of items they are interested in.
This allows me to find affiliate offers that match the type of items they are clicking through to get. I will also be adding some standard items to the sidebars such as Amazon and other affiliate programs.
The sites that end up being the most successful almost always lose the Adsense as they grow. It is a great way to test things out and decide whether the topic is worth more effort because you do need to focus on the best payoff.
It only takes me about 6 hours total to set up the site, tweak and add the content, create some back links to see if it works. Then if it starts to earn spend the time to max it out. That is why the keyword research is so important to find the phrases you can generate traffic from quickly.
The keyword research before starting helps to sort the topics then the actual results from the initial site make it easy to see of it is worth more effort.

Adsense is a great way to test if your site is right on with your audience. I would like to think that you can make some money using it but I see your point about maybe switching over if you discover that it is a popular site. Do you end up putting ads n the site if it generates good traffic?

Thanks Mike. 6 hours start to finish for initial foray and then follow-up and development on those that perform. When you have a pack of 25 articles, how fast do you post them, and once they are all used, when and how often do you supplement posts in the future?

It would take me longer than 6 hours to set a new blog up; however I am getting faster. I have used the blog install you mention in your post ExpertWordpress and it does save you a great deal of time. I also agree that keyword research is important to making any site successful

I definitely like the plan you have put together here Mike!
Makes a ton of sense. I too get a pack of 25 articles in 12 different niches each month through another membership site that is currently closed to new subscribers and have been looking at some other ways to put them to use.
Will definitely have to try out your plan here and make better use of these articles.
Thanks again for some great ideas!
