NOt sure if that’s something Google does, demoting sites you just built 1 day ago..Did you check spyfu to see how many advertisers there are for the keyword?

It could be that there are very few advertisers…

Could also be that you haven’t given it enough time…

Also, I turn off the option to display those public service ads, I make it in the settings so that if it can’t find any ads, it displays nothing.

Quick question, have you ever come up with a scenario where Google has demoted one of your sites to public service ads? I setup a sniper site yesterday but for some bizzare reason Google hates it.

Lol! Thanks Matt, glad it’s still able to help out..

I gotta say I never do coffee meet ups with guys… or a guy who said they love me, but as long as it’s some kind of ‘bro talk’ then it’s cool :>

Mike, I love you, honestly. That may be a strong comment but the content you have added on this blog is valuable.

I found your blog through a google search for tutorials on Scrapebox a couple of days ago. Since then I’ve started at #1 of your blog and I’m now on Day #73 and even tho it’s taking up a large part of my days I’m going to attempt to read all the way through to the present day.

I’m moving to Toronto in November Mike, I’d love to grab a coffee if you have time!

Hey, Matt..the difference between a regular site and a sniper site is usually that a sniper site is only about 5 (sometimes less)pages, while a regular ’site’ or ‘authority site’ has much more content than that.

Sniper sites are also targeted to the keyword they’re trying to rank on page 1 for by having their domain name = the keyword…Granted, you can take a site like that and grow it out to a regular site if you want just by adding a bunch more pages to it.

Found your site today, and I apologise about the old blog reply but I jumped to post #1 to try and understand your journey.

After research I know what a Sniper site is, but what’s the difference betwen a “Site” and a “Sniper Site” ??

Email me if you respond, please.

Well, all visitors aren’t created equal so I wouldn’t exactly think of it in those terms.

But ya, those sites are getting some good hops, I’m just waiting for them to convert..2 of the sites you mentioned are in the same niche, a niche which I’ve made 12 sites for, gotten 154 hops total for but no sales as of yet…

Anyway,,, just thinking out loud.

You know, that’s an interesting question…I actually didn’t know how many visitors it took to get that, but I just took some time to compute it (although I accidentally used yesterday’s data which is for 83 hops total):

Site#1 = 217 visits – 23 hops
Site#2 = 72 visits – 8 hops
Site#3 = 50 visits – 11 hops
Site#4 = 60 visits – 1 hop
Site#5 = 61 visits – 2 hops

Sniper#1 = 22 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#2 = 14 visits – 3 hops
Sniper#3 = 7 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#4 = 19 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#5 = 26 visits – 11 hops
Sniper#6 = 15 visits – 4 hops
Sniper#7 = 17 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#8 = 15 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#9 = 19 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#10 = 20 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#11 = 10 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#12 = 27 visits – 6 hops
Sniper#13 = 20 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#14 = 36 visits – 2 hops
Sniper#15 = 27 visits – 2 hops

754 visits = 83 total hops

Since I did the calculations on the wrong day, I just extrapolated it out to find out around how many visitors I’d need to get 104 hops and found it to be 950:

950 visits(not uniques) = 104 hops

So simplifying it, basically 1k visitors in my case brought 100 hops.
