Adsense

[John Brady]

Anyone want to discuss? I realize it isn't really affiliate, but this seems to be the closest match.

What do you want to know about adsense?

Do you have a blog or a website that you want to stick adsense on?

Like mentioned before, for adsense to really payoff in the long run, you need to focus on SEO on your website and quality content.

The more unique traffic that you get each day, the better the chances that you'll start to make some constant money. Let us know what type of website that you have and we could suggest a few things to help you out.

Oh, I'm concentrating on it. I have three websites in develpment using adsense and i plan to add more. I'm following a process that involves selecting a spectrum of low, medium, and high comp keywords within a tight niche and developing content for them-a few articles per keyword. Following that, I'm using specific traffic building methods to try to get the rank in Google.

There's a lot more that I'm working with but I was just hoping to develop an ongoing conversation on AdSense here. If I can succeed, it will be a great way to generate passive income without having to recruit were chase new products.

The thing I like so far the most is that the process seems to be working and I'm generating small amounts of revenue that I can hopefully continue to build upon. I hope to be able to outsource a lot of the grunt work if I can reach a critical mass level.

Sure sounds like you got your head on straight with adsense. I wish you much success.

I've been using adsense for years but i don't count on it being my bread winner. My blog is in multiple niche's so that tends to kill those high paying clicks all the time. Don't get me wrong, i've gotten over $2 per click once and awhile and sometimes more then that for just one click. I mainly an affiliate marketer and write reviews on my blog. This is a adsense thread so i'll stick to adsense talk. lol

I'm not directing these next comments towards you at all, just venting a little.

I dislike people who go on forums and ask whats the highest paying keywords for adsense and create a cheap site centered around those keywords with spun content. Those people will never amount to anything in the adsense world.

Pick a niche or niche's that you love or have a good amount of knowledge about so that you can be able to write your own original content or ask for a few guest blog posts from time to time. I allow guest blogging on my blog but i review the blog post for quality check.

Spinning content on your blog is a bad idea, i don't care how much you spent on a spinner. Most online marketers can spot a spun article really easy. I've heard about people creating xx amount of blogs with cheap blog template, .info domain and spun content. They think they will earn hundreds a week for adsense but it's harder and harder these days to keep a high ranking in google for your keywords and long tail keywords. Focus on SEOing your sites and keep up to date with any SEO changes in the online world. You loose your rankings in the search engines and it will kill any potential adsense income.

On my blog, i picked my own keywords without using any keyword tool's. I'm ranked well for them except for 2 of them but ranked way better on long tail keywords that i never focused on. This get's me a lot of search engine traffic which can lead to increased adsense revenue. Sorry for the little rant.

Why do you choose to monetize your blogs with contextual ads? You will make more money by using affiliate marketing or direct advertising. You can make around .02 to .05 per click, maybe more and then those visitors will leave your site and be taken to whatever product the ad was promoting. Why not just promote those same products on your site using affiliates to make 50% on each sale? Or better yet when you get enough traffic where you can generate a consistent monthly income just from advertising alone. I believe contextual advertising is a good starting point, but ultimately you will make a lot more money using affiliates, MRR or direct advertising.

i''m starting a newer free method as things have changed recently of online stuff.
what i'm talking about is the youtube ivp program. it's not being a partner (which i once was going for) but now they have allowed nearly anyone to earn money from their youtube videos.
If you already have a youtube account with a copyright strike or warning, i would create a new account, then make at least one video and you should get the IVP email saying you can earn money from your vids via adsense.

what i have started to do is the following. In the past I have made websites and still have some up but i'm looking to stop paying for things and using "free" alternatives from now on.

1. make youtube vids about whatever (your interests, commentary of current events, informational, teaching, showing, etc).
a. in the youtube vid put a link to amazon relevant products based on the video. (or your blog which has adsense / amazon links).

2. On your blog you can do adsense / amazon links.

overall, you'd still need to use keywords for your youtube vids and blog posts and well as "promote" them via online methods will help.

I recently started putting amazon links in my youtube channels. so far there aren't any purchases but there have been alot of clickthroughs on the links.

i make the amazon affiliate link relevant and small through tinyurl. so if i was going to promote ps3 products from my playstation 3 youtube videos, at tinyurl, i'd call the link ps3-funz or something like that.

I've actually just added some code to my blogs. Haven't been using it in awhile because I had changed my address and had such a hard time getting that"pin" verification. Finally got that sorted out so I've plugged the adsense into my sites now. It can be very profitable if you know how to optimize your sites and blogs for it.

Basically I'm following the formula of creating 10-12 articles per site, clustered around a set of related keywords. I've just hired a company to do most of my backlinking for me and I'll continue to add occasional seo optimized articles to each site and do a few posts a day with BMR.. I've already got the CTR theme and some KW research tools, and some other software I felt I needed.

I'm about done with the preliminaries on site one, hope to start site two later in Janurary and hopefully learn from each and have a 70% hit rate on the sites (making decent money from them I mean). I hope to evntually have 20 or so sites up and outsource the continued content creation, hopefully by some point in 2013. I hope to be able to get one site a month up, if I can manage that with my present job and work/family schedule.

I did that too and found out my keywords sucking in terms of popularity. I didn't really start my first blog-website to 'make money' and I think these websites I'm creating now will have useful content on them. I mean I am doing research and not just creating totally keyword stuffed crap articles.

There won't be spun content resident on the sites, but my backlink provider I'm sure spinning articles,,,it is an article drip service, with the backlinks pointing to my website.

You could very well be correct. This is just my approach. I can only work on one thing at a time and I felt like I could understand this and repeat it.
