Thanks Mike. I guess I was wondering if the same domain name can both rank on Page 1. Just things I have been pondering lately as I consider buy new domains.

@Mikeman Sorry mike, I think I may have deleted your email. I have big gap in the number of emails between 11:30 and 1pm. I occasionaly bulk delete stuff if I'm not looking for something in particular. I've been getting hit with tons of canadian pharmacy spam, so I just bulk delete sometimes. Can you send it again? Thanks.

Hey Carrie, I haven’t tried the Clickbank Ads…the thing I don’t like about that is it sends them to various different offers rather than just 1..

The reason I swapped my sites out to CB, even though my writing on my site doesn’t support it is because I figure it will be better than sending them to Market Health which never converts.

Regarding my sniper sites where I setup the .net and .org…I’ve found that in almost all instances, the .net’s have taken the place of the .org’s. The .org’s are gone, going from 50 visits a day to like 4-6 a day.

It seems like if a new sniper site is introduced it can completely take out a previously existing one. This has happened in the majority of cases, hence why my hops have not gone up for those 23 sites I did.

…other times though, they have ranked on the same page with the .orgs, I haven’t analyzed it enough to see which ranks better, but I think the .net’s are taking the place of the .org’s due to their newness rather than the fact that they’re .net’s…this is just speculation though…I suppose someone else might look at these results and think .net’s rank better than .orgs.

Will be interesting to see what happens as I continue to build backlinks to all these sites and the sites stabilize more with age.

I have MarketHealth on a few sites and haven’t had any sales and not even many visits, but the traffic is low also. I’d like to swap it out but not sure with what. Are you trying the ClickBank ads? I’d like banners for the sidebars but haven’t found many good options.

Question for you, Mike. I’m curious how things are working out with your snipe sites where you set up both the .net and .org. Is there any trend in which ranks better?

Ya, I was still getting sales from some Youtube ringtone videos I put up until a few months ago as well, back from my BH days. btw Rob, I sent you an email..

Shelly,

That would piss me off, I’d be calling them and asking to speak with the manager/team lead regarding this. I wouldn’t let something like this go if you’re innocent, that’s just BS!

I love ebay but they banned me last week! Accused me of “cookie stuffing”, I don’t even know how to stuff a cookie. I’m so pissed off, there goes a big part of my monthly income and now I have to go change about 15 sites, remove all ebay listing and replace with something else! YUCK!

I love those unexpected sales. I have a couple affiliations that every once in a while make a sale. I do no promoting for them, just sites I set up and forgot about. But every now and then, I’ll get this check in the mail for like $50-$150.
