DNF PPC reviews

[duceman]

I'd like for a couple of members to share their reviews of DNF's ppc sites. Not looking for comments on quality or content. Just looking for information about traffic stats (up/down) PR (up/down) or did you get put into G's sandbox.

thanks in advance

The design is great and the content looks good. I originally had a nice spike in traffic and revenue (roughly 30% increase). I was ecstatic!

Then one day, the traffic stopped. Now the pr is gone as well, and both my sites are no longer listed in google at all. These are old domains that are listed in dmoz, and for years I just had a single page with adsense on it, and things were fine. Now after one month they are dead.

I am scared to put ppc sites up on any of my other domains. I still have 2 more credits left if anyone is interested in buying them (if that can be done?)

I hope this is just a freak thing and does not happen to anyone else

The problem mostly likely is that you didn't have original content. Google will punish you greatly for duplicate content.

I agree. The problem is with the ppc templates, the content is 100% unoriginal. I have found that setting up a quick wordpress site, and writing 5 or 6 original articles (or paying for them) may work equally as well...

I ordered 4 or 5 to test the waters. You're 100% correct, you would be better off writing some original articles. I am planning on adding a dozen or so original articles once they have gone live.

Out of interest, how long do they usually take to develop (I ordered mine 6 days ago).

I had mine in about 3 days each. They may be busy because of the holidays...
