High Ranking Keywords
You probably saw the article on A Whole Lotta Nothing about Michael Buffington’s new asbestos-syndicating blog. He thinks that by creating a topical blog on a keyword with high adwords revenues he can reap some sort of profit from Google exposure and clickthroughs.
I like the idea enough myself to try my own hand at it, posting summaries of news article relevant to Vioxx. It’s an interesting enough issue, and Google news alerts points me at content, so the experiment is completely safe in terms of overhead and startup cost. I also think that my blog has a few advantages over Asbestos blog:
- Larger adspace on the right sidebar
- No distracting commenting system
- No “recent posts” section
- Links section
- Titles link to permalink section
The idea is minimal design, no comments, no fancy blog extras, and Google ads. Every day I’ll post the latest breaking Vioxx news stories, and we’ll see what happens!

Wow
And the http://www.vioxx45.info/vioxx/8641.html page has Google Adsense ads also…ironic.
Incidentally, I ended up at your page because I’m trying to figure out how to induce Google to include more targeted ads on my page. My blog is (purposely) unfocused and jumps around to numerous topics, and in most cases the ads that appear have to do with apartment searches in my local area. (Ontario is a city east of Los Angeles, in an area called the Inland Empire.)
Maybe if I devote an entire post to Vioxx I’ll get slightly different ads on that page. Vioxx seems to be a keyword of interest to advertisers. I may try it.
Wow. Someone is actually simply re-syndicating the RSS feed I have on the Vioxx page….which I find pretty scary:
