Using Wordpress For Multiple Niche Sites

June 5th, 2008Niche Research

Clickden.net is a WordPress blog that I was doing very little with until recently. In an email I received I read about using a WordPress blog as an “index” for multiple niches using subdomains for the niche sites. So on May 8th, 2008, I started this experiment.

I had some PLR niche sites ready to go. May 8, I created the subdomain for the Pet Cats Guide and uploaded the site.

Figuring I needed at least one other niche site to really test the process, on May 11 Salt Water Aquariums was uploaded as another subdomain.

The sole method of promoting the sites (until this post) has been blogging about them on the Wordpress blog installed at the main domain at Clickden.com. The sole method of monetizing the sites is Adsense.

How have they done? The Pet Cats Guide has done nothing, showing only 67 impressions with no clicks and hence no Adsense earnings. This for exactly four weeks.

But the Salt Water Aquariums is a different story. It has 156 impressions, 18 clicks, and clicks average about .25. Not bad for 25 days.

I’m not sure the reason for the disparity, but I think it’s a supply demand issue, as well as better keywords in the titles and body copy. So the two site experiment shows that this idea will work, and work pretty well.

I can’t take full credit for this idea. I borrowed it from Geoff Shaw at opoqo.com and sort ran with it.
