Posts from — December 2008

I got an email today from someone who I’ve gotten to know a bit over the last few months. I met her at Vics Make money online blog…BloggerUnleashed.

Anyway, she was always very engaged and enthusiastic about things and was always at the chats he used to host. She is also a member of the Affiliate Academy, which I am as well as many other good people are now members of.

In her email, she expressed to me how she is having such a hard time…she does internet marketing part time, as she spends her full time raising and home schooling her young child. She is reading a blog from another of the greats named Grizzly. His how to make money blog tells the ins and outs of how to make money online wtih adsense.

She says she is having a hard time with it. Now, I admit, I am no genius, and I am not raking it in yet..with adsense. As of today, I did have my best day with adsense. I made just over $15. Now while you may not think that is something to jump up an down over, I will tell you this.

I have been working on my new network of sites, since September. Last month, I was making $3 a day with adsense, so as you can see, as my sites are aging, and I continue to gather links to the sites, and they age, the big G is starting to give me some love. As well, I am staring to get some action from Yahoo, as it seems that Yahoo takes a bit longer to give you love.

The other thing I did was reoptimize my posts to have a better keyword density in the hopes of telling the google bot what kinds of adsense ads to put up on the site.

In my email reply back to this person, I told her that from my understanding, you want to devote an entire site, whether a wordpress blog, or a blogspot blog to one set of keywords, and work all the posts around that keyword.

Then you want to create the posts and target long tail keywords that are very related to the main keyword you are targeting.

Once you get the longtail keyword up, build links (or as Griz says, gather links) to the post to get it to rank. While doing that, make sure your post has the right keyword density to allow the google adsense bot to know which ads to place on the site.

Write enough posts targeting long tails, get them all to rank then you start to get traffic. The other benefit, is that once you start getting all those longtail keyword phrases to rank, you start to build authority for the site and the set of keywords.

What happens next is you are building a momentum, and you start to pull your site up in the serps.

Keep building the links and posts until you feel that you have optimized all you can. Once you are done with that, the only thing left to do is…Wash Rinse and Repeat.

Oh yeah, one other thing, Both Griz and Vic will be the first to say you need to do alot of experimenting. Think Babe Ruth. He had the most home runs, but also the most strike outs.

In Griz’ latest post, he says he throws up alot of crap and sees what sticks. Vic says 20% of his network creates 80% of his income. Think Paretos Principle people.

Now…GO BUILD SOME LINKS! and go make money writing online!
