I took over 2 months off from working my EPN sites. I went from making over $3k to probably making just over $1k this month. I can’t say that making $1k this month is bad considering I didn’t actually do any work this month. My problem with it is that next month it might be $500 and eventually $0. Why is this? Probably because my sites suck and have no content. Sooner or later G figures that out and stops sending traffic to them.
I have proven that you can make money with thin sites like mine. I know I could hit $5k in a month if I really pushed and had the time. But to keep earning those numbers I would have to keep working real hard and always be creating new sites to stay ahead of G. Truth be told I am getting tired of doing that.
So here is what I plan to do. I am going to take 2 or 3 of my best sites and transform them into content sites. Then probably add another 2 or 3 new content sites to the mix. I hate writing content so I am going to use a service to do it. I will be placing content on the sites as blog posts and then show related eBay auctions. Every post will be based around a specific set of keywords that I will be choosing from Micro Niche Finder. I also plan on posting some articles to sites like ezinearticles.com and articlebase.com. This should help build up some backlinks.
So there you have it. I am going to try and do it the right way for once and see how it goes. I had some sites that earned over $1k in a months time. My plan is to build up 5 sites or so that all earn about $1k per month from EPN. Then with good content and backlinking just maybe they will have more reliable traffic.
I already have about 15 articles/posts ordered and I am excited to get started. I have not decided yet if I plan to release the names of the 5 sites that I am going to be focusing on. I hope this works or else I will be coming back to thin sites in a few months…

Nice to see you back in action.
I had the same problem about 6 months ago. My earnings from my main website was increasing steadily and then suddenly it started falling. When I checked my backlinks with big G, I realized they have removed all the links and so I was no longer getting any traffic from them. Of course the reason they gave is lack of content on my site
The big G is really the determining factor in how much I earn. So by adding more content I hope to level the traffic out some.
Filla Man – Did you add content after finding that out? What results did you get?
I love doing this stuff but it blows that we are so dependent on Google for traffic and EPN for hopefully not kicking us to the curb…
