One of the recurring questions that I seem to be getting asked lately about the Adsense 101 Bootcamp is, “How does it compare to the XFactor or Clickbump methods of building sites?”

First of all, the answer is VERY DIFFERENT! Sorry for using bold capitals, but I wanted to stress that the Adsense 101 bootcamp is entirely different from the approach those two guys advocate.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying those methods do not work, they do and a lot of people are making money from using the techniques they demonstrate. In fact before the techniques became known as the “XFactor method” or the “Clickbump method”, they were just known as building minisites or even microsites. I have been building those for years and using the exact same techniques as XFactor and Clickbump advocate.

The thing is, even though those methods work, they are NOT the best way to earn a living from Adsense and I can foresee over the coming years a trend very firmly away from those type of sites in Google’s index for a number of reasons.

Here is why my advice is to turn away from building small sites like these and instead adopt the authority site model I advocate.

Even though it seems quite alluring to say “you can make money from sites with just 5 or 6 pages of content”, the truth is you are going for low competition keywords that get little amounts of traffic in the big scheme of things. Nothing wrong with that, by the way and I shall explain why in a minute. However, if that is the only strategy for building 1 site then it isn’t the best way of doing things.

You see, to make any real income from Adsense, you will need maybe 30, 50, 100 or many more minisites like these, right? Suddenly that allure of only having to create 5 or 6 pages to make money from Adsense doesn’t seem quite so appealing. That means 100 sites X 6 pages = 600 pages of content to make good money with Adsense! Then, a year down the track, you have suddenly got a 100 domains that need to be renewed and then there is all the duplicate IP addresses etc for all these domains.

I liken the scenario above to getting a bumper bag of “fun size” Mars bars. Even though a fun size mars bar looks easy to eat and better for you, before you know it you have gorged on the whole bumper bag and you feel sick! Okay bad analogy, I know.. However, the point is why waste all that content on isolated, small sites that flounder around in Google’s ocean at the mercy of all the big authority sites that can blow them away in an instant?

It is far better to build a site in a competitive niche.. Yes, “COMPETITIVE” niche but the approach that I advocate in the bootcamp shows exactly how to do it. The secret is to “start small to grow big”.. It might not sound as catchy as the clickbump method or the XFactor technique but trust me, it IS the future of not only making a success with Adsense but with everything you do from now on in Internet marketing!
