Publishing ads from the
Google AdSense program is like finding money in the
street.
People who've never made a dime on the Internet have
created good part-time incomes simply by placing AdSense
Ads on their web sites or blogs. Some make
thousands each and every month.
Then you have the "Mega" earners. You've heard of
them... the elite few who make half a million dollars a
year (or more) publishing AdSense ads on content
sites.
But don't be naive... these people aren't building their
incomes like the Mom and Pop sites do. They have systems
in place that create sites for them... people who build
sites for them... they outsource and automate as many of
the tedious tasks as they can. Keyword research
and content creation - probably even the site building
is either done by others or automated as much as
possible.
While you probably can't emulate everything the
most successful AdSense earners do... you can implement
the following strategies to copy their success.
1) Treat your business like a REAL business and track
everything you do.
Starting today, begin tracking what you're doing that
works - AND what you're doing that doesn't work. This is
to keep you from making the same mistakes over and over again,
and you can repeat the things that work. As simple as
this seems... most people don't know the reasons for
their success or failure.
2) Utilize the latest tools and software available.
The most successful AdSense earners aren't any smarter
than you.
They're regular people... except they use the latest
tools available to them to automate most of the tasks
required to research and create their sites. They use
the latest keyword research, site creation and SEO tools
available. The tools they use are their secret
weapons.
3) Focus on the Low-hanging Fruit.
You probably can't compete with the search engine
experts who create sites for keywords that pay out
$30-$40 per click. You might get lucky every once
in a while... but in the long run, you're better off
building sites for the lower paying keywords. There is
less competition for this "low hanging fruit", it will
be easier to get free traffic from the search engines,
and your chance for success will be higher over the long
run.
The
Keyword Avalanche
membership site
just re-launched and now includes NicheBot v2.
I've been beta-testing NicheBot v2 for about a month, and
it's a great way to identify good-paying, low
competition keywords.
4) Choose broad niches and break it down.
Choose a broad subject as your main theme. Then
break that down into as many sub niches as possible.
Using Outdoor Recreation as the example... you could
build a site about Camping, another about Hiking.
Then a site about Backpacking, Rock Climbing, or Fly
Fishing. In fact, even those topics are broad
enough that you could build multiple sites about
sub-topics of each.
You could literally build
hundreds of sites around one major theme and stay
totally focused. Once you have exhausted every possible
sub niche of that major theme... choose another main
theme and repeat the process.
5) Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Keep your sites easy to navigate and forget the fancy
graphics that distract your visitors' attention.
The purpose of the site is to have people click on the
ads, right? Then keep the site layout simple...
dump the scrolling banners, dancing bears, and colored
scroll bars... they're just distractions, and will
reduce the number of times your ads are clicked.
While you're at it, find
a good site building tool to make building new sites as
quick and easy as possible. I use
Rapid Niche Websites,
because it combines all the best features of easy
site design, easy publishing, the best features of a
blog, RSS feeds, and good monetization features.
6) Don't Try to be Everything to Everyone
Full fledged ecommerce sites, with products
for sale, links to other products, etc. - are not
good sites for AdSense.
Don't confuse your visitor with too many options or
choices. The best AdSense sites are content sites that
sell nothing. They're sites that provide
information.
You can create the information
yourself by writing articles, or you can find content on
article directories like
eZine Articles
or
Info Syndicate.
Another good source of
content is Private Label Articles (another great feature
of a Keyword Avalanche membership) and you can re-write
some of these and submit them as your own to the
articles directories to bump your site's search engine
rankings.
7) Build Consistently.
A single site will rarely provide enough income to let
you retire to the lap of luxury. Once you've built
one site and begin getting traffic and income. Go
back to Tip #4, pick another tightly focused niche, and begin
building your next site.
You can always go back and "tweak" your sites to make
them better producers, but keep planting new seeds
(sites) to create multiple streams of income that will
produce income over and over again for your effort.
To sum it up... use the tools available to automate as
much of the process of keyword research, content
creation, and site building as you can. This will
help keep you focused and on track. Be consistent in
building... treat it like the business it is and you
will reap the rewards of your harvest.
