The best Long term CPA model - What do you think?

I am busy setting up a couple of "test" sites for specific niches / CPA offers, for example an offer for free pizza.

Low competition keywords are targeted to make ranking on search engines easier.

The basic idea is to built a site with 10+ pages of content that relates to the offer. The sites are monetized with a few strategically placed banners and also with text links in the content.

It should be a type of offer that is commonly found so if your current offer is closed you just change your banners and link to new CPA offers.

I have a few questions about this:

Do you think it is a viable model for success with CPA offers?
Ideas and best practices suggestions from anybody who tried or is doing something like this?

If I can get it to an average income of about a dollar a day per site I would consider my test a success.

Thanks

Manie

A few more things...

Since 2012/08/15 I made 9 sites.

I did everything myself, no outsourcing, no fiverr.

Please see attachment for current rankings and number of competing pages.

As this is a test I picked a couple of keywords with very high competition (normally I would go for low competition keywords).

With only 10 pages of content, how do you think you'll get traffic? Even with low competition keywords, it still take time to rank and get traffic.

 

[ManieE]

I said 10+ pages, meaning at least 10, not only 10

I get most traffic from google, my feeds and from social sites like twitter.

The second site on the attached image was at number 6 of google.com for the main keyword after only 9 days. So far the site has only three pages.

Monthly search volume = 1900 (exact match)
Competing pages = 4 800 000

Yeah it's good Any conversions yet? Rankings seem fine.. what's the average domain age?

 

[ManieE]

New domains.

No conversions yet but traffic is picking up as well as clicks on cpa offers

Along with monetizing the sites directly I would consider looking in to building a list that can be utilized for remarketing etc

I will vote for this one.
And anyways, I want to ask if you are using .com domains or some free hosted domains?
Get more content and quality backlinks. You will get more in no time.

I agree, a list is always a good idea.

I use a .com domain with subdomains. One of the things I'm testing is setting up sites in subdomains to see how they rank compared to domains.

The list is always a good idea
