I keep wondering why more don't do it - HubPages and company are great but not really for primary income. I have made most of my living on an 8-page, well-ranked and written niche site.<br /><br />It's not hard to manage (I actually just add more content now and then - I'm in the process right now)...um...I don't manage it. It just sells. <br /><br />If you're making anything with the web 2.0's, a niche site really is (or can be) life-changing. You set the rules (and thin sites aren't "out" as many think, they just need to be quality) - no more of the shenanigans about "Overly promotional hubs" or whatnot.<br /><br />I love HP, but really you get so much more money with your own site.<br /><br />That Ryankett...love that he's made another site! That guy's awesome, really - I have yet to find a Hub of his I don't enjoy thoroughly. <br /><br />Thanks for the tip about Excerptz.JamestheJusthttp://theaveragegenius.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846340381866388096.post-86487312038539653802011-04-05T17:36:04.306-07:002011-04-05T17:36:04.306-07:00I think it's great that you have taken such a ...I think it's great that you have taken such a good look at your actual statistics for these programs - and also that it isn't nearly as bad as some have experienced (especially with hubpages). I do think you should seriously consider building your own sites as well - with Wordpress, it is nearly as easy as setting up a blogger blog or hub (or at least I think so), and you won't have to share any AdSense revenue either.

However, I have had some Adsense impressions and even some traffic to other sites through links on Excerptz.com. Whilst this has so far been small, I am yet to post many articles/pages and the site is still very new. I intend on writing a few more articles over the next week or so and then following it up with a report/review once I have sufficient data so keep checking back!Bristolboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040469015991222982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846340381866388096.post-16266292415703892662011-04-04T14:37:06.811-07:002011-04-04T14:37:06.811-07:00Hi there.

I've had some success with them before and this time I think I've found a topic that I'm genuinely interested in, so producing content shouldn't be such a chore. With the recent changes to Google rankings, I think any site you start has to provide something which is either really interesting or really useful. The game has changed. 'Thin sites' will no longer cut it.<br /><br />I'll be tracking the progress of my niche blog on my site, Offbeat Income.Jameshttp://offbeatincome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846340381866388096.post-91727489751823083372011-04-02T10:25:57.798-07:002011-04-02T10:25:57.798-07:00Hi Maria.

I do intend on doing that some time - it is just a case of deciding what the niche site should be about and then figuring out how to set one up! <br /><br />Kidgas I am glad to hear the Hubpages ad program has been beneficial for you!Bristolboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040469015991222982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846340381866388096.post-25776755869548332492011-04-02T07:05:10.829-07:002011-04-02T07:05:10.829-07:00Thanks for the earnings report.

I saw a little improvement in traffic this past week but pitiful numbers the last 24 hours.
