Who wants to be a millionaire? Who doesn’t! Since I’m from the UK technically I should be working in British Pounds Sterling (£), but it’s easier to become a USA millionaire because 1 Million British Pounds (£) does not equal 1 Million United States Dollars ($). £1,000,000 = ~$1,600,000 $1,000,000 = ~£600,000 Basically it’s easier to become a US millionaire than a British millionaire, so for now I’ll target becoming a US millionaire first :-) What is a Millionaire? Your standard measure for being a millionaire is having a networth of one million units of a currency. There will be many reading this who are on quite modest incomes who could truthfully state they are millionaires, even multi-millionaires, just as […]

Journaling how to Become an Online Millionaire
Followed your link to this site after I purchased one of your wordpress themes. I have been thinking about journaling my steps to becoming a millionaire myself – mostly so others can benefit.
I have a few questions.
What is your average payment per click?
Do you run any “image only” adsense ads and if so do they get a better ctr and higher average value per click? I kind of think that they do. Not enough evidence yet though.
Of the hundreds of sites that you have, do you find you have a few sites with lots of visitors with some of the other sites being a waste of time. Or do you always make more adsense income per site than what it costs to keep it going?

WordPress Question
What do you do in WordPress to keep the same post at the top of the list like you did here?
How I Make Money Online
Hey Clayton,
The same post question is a plugin called WP-Sticky: update Sticky Posts are part of WordPress now.
I’ve found tracking my affiliate success/failure really helpful, my SEO business is running smoothly, but because of my back problems I’ve avoided taking on too many SEO clients (can’t over do it).
The opposite is true for affiliate projects, they pretty much run themselves long term and more importantly if I feel terrible one day there’s not a business behind the project relying on my SEO expertise, so I can leave them half finished for months at a time. That being said had an operation on my lower back late last month and hoping it’s been a success (still in post op pain), if it works can really throw myself into business.
My cost per click average SUCKS because I have a lot of traffic to some very low cost (from a AdWords perspective) content like classic literature, I’m lucky to make 10 cents a click from that traffic!
First sites I built was for generating PR, I wrongly believed having millions of pages would be worth while because each new page generates a small amount of intrinsic PR. The amount is so small it’s pretty much canceled out by the PR cost in getting a large site indexed! So I built a set of sites with public domain content (classic literature) for generating PR. Now I’m much smarter :) and tend towards creating pages that have a function, if a page doesn’t do something useful, I don’t create it.
I tried image only ads and found they don’t perform that well, also tried text only ads thinking if image ads only don’t work well text only should. Text only was better than image only, but not as good as mixed, I guess it’s to do with the amount of money advertisers are prepared to pay and the way Google AdSense determines which ads to display on our content, IME it’s better to let Google AdSense decided which ad performs best for each page.
I have just over 100 domains currently, but they don’t all have sites on them. Of the domains used about 50 would be considered full sites, but about half of those are affiliate sites form years ago when Google didn’t downgrade thin affiliate sites.
Out of the rest I’ve got about 15-20 good domains. A good domain would be one where I’ve not run a SEO test that could result in a penalty and have fair quality content. I consider this site a good quality site, though currently it only gets a trickle of traffic a day since I’ve not added much diverse content (only 21 posts and 9 of those are revenue reports which will only cover a small number of SERPs). So I get about 20,000 visitors a day not so evenly spread over about 20 domains, rest are either not used, redirected or penalized/downgraded in Google etc… (I do way too many SEO tests :-)).
So yes I have quite a lot of domains that currently could be considered a waste of time. For example AdSense income for these over the last 12 months.
Amazon store, thin affiliate : car-auto-parts.info (below 1,000 visitors) $2.35
Amazon store, thin affiliate : cell-phones-store.info (below 500 visitors) $2.63
RSS feed site (not unique content), used to be a Amazon store : athomedayspa.com (below 1,000 visitors) $1.74
Remember the above are year figures, I’ve probably made similar from Amazon from the first two so might barely cover the yearly registration fees.
March 2006 to March 2007 those three sites made ~$180 and the year before when I first made them and Google wasn’t downgrading this type of thin affiliate site they made over $1,500 (probably about $3,000 including Amazon sales).
As you can imagine when you find a way to make a site in about 2 hours that can make you $500 a year, ($1,000 when you take Amazon sales in to account) you tend to make more of them :) I only made about 30 of them as I was so busy with my SEO business. Now they don’t even break even as a whole:
I pay for two dedicated servers at around $1,500 a year, domain registration about $10 a domain and that’s about my only costs. So about $2,500 in costs, so each domain has to make $25 to break even each year. I’ve let about 15 domains with Amazon stores on them expire over the last 12 months.
The best sites are those with unique interesting content, one of my domains at one point was making about $60 a month from AdSense, discovered Clickbank and have added less than a dozen Clickbank reviews and supporting pages to it and it makes most of my Clickbank revenue now.

Making Money With Clickbank Products
Thank you for the response David.
I read on one of your posts that you do not have a clickbank product yet. The information provided above is valuable to me and those starting website businesses like me. I believe that the above information – expanded on – with some of your WordPress Themes added as a bonus – would make a very valuable clickbank package.
After a 6 or 7 years of researching, testing, downloading, etc, I have come to the same conclusion as you have as you have stated above and now from YOUR research and success I can verify that I am heading in the right direction. My final piece of the puzzle to help create the success is your talian wordpress theme that I am now configuring. (the theme gives my site the code and structure that SE’s love)
I have thousands of pages on my website and most will be moved into WordPress. It could be argued that my site will be too much for WordPress and that I should use Joomla or something but I want to keep it simple and build tons of content. Many others will be building hiking content at my tracksandtrails.ca website soon because of your excellent ability at coding WordPress SEO Themes.
Thank you,
I pray that your back operation will give you mobilization.
