   Thank you very much for the clarification. While I don't have tens of thousands of pages like that (my site has under 10,000 pages in all and lots of those pages are very informative, rich resources), your point is well taken. It prompted m

    As for Adsense, I have tried it in the past but the payoff per click for my niche is really low. I prefer eBay for this site because I can incorporate it in a way that actually adds value to the user experience. Just out of curiosity, wher

    Thanks for the response. It doesn't seem like Google fully "gets" my site. It appears they often times try to rank me as if I'm a mainstream sports site but then overlook me for my area of specialty (sports collectibles). For instance, I ma
