How YOU can REALLY reach $100/day + w/Adsense!

Sorry if this has been asked before but from your experience what are the differences in strategy and results between Adsense sites developed for physical products (e.g sofa) and service/digital product based sites (e.g. forex) ?

Great question - they are actually very different strategies, and those who fail to realize this generally don't achieve good results and don't understand why. Often someone will have some moderate success with one type of site, accidentally, and not realize that it may not be 'transferable' to their other efforts.

I think I did a thread about this once. In order to achieve good results, you want your site to 'reflect' the profile of the searcher - that is, you want someone who sees your site listed in the SERP query and clicks on it, to feel like they landed in the 'right' place.

The 'right' site for a product-related query is going to look and feel much different from the 'right' site for an informational query, even to the same person.

What I do for all my sites is to try and create a mental 'profile' of the person that is landing there. Specifically, what are the keyword/phrases that I'm ranking for, meaning what did they type in to get my site listed in their SERP?

For a product-centric site, it might be something like "best charcoal barbeque grill". When someone clicks on a site brought up by that query, they're expecting to see some pictures, perhaps prices, probably a list of mfg.'s and models, etc.

If they see that, they'll feel they landed on a 'right' page.

On the other hand, if my target keyword/phrase is "day trading strategy", the 'right' page will more text-heavy, and a 'product-looking' site isn't going to feel 'right'.

In either case, it will look like it provides an answer to the query, and in both cases, if I've really done my homework well, the other listings, topics, headings, etc., - the navigation links - are the other keyword/phrases I'm targeting.

Hi Mark

Just spent an hour (or so) going through the whole thread. You have some excellent stuff here.

Well done and keep up the great communication.

Thanks very much for valuable info . . . I've already found a keyword group of 8 phrases, average CPC about $10, average phrase searches about 3000, average google results about 15,000. I am very excited to try this out later today!

For my URL should I use the best-paying keyphrase (with dashes) of the 8, which is a reasonable match to the whole niche, or the most exact match (with dashes) to the whole niche, which pays about half as much? I can't define the niche concept well with less than 4 words, so I presume using dashes is better than one long confusing multi-word?

You said "What we want is for that target visitor to see our listing in Google (this is where your "meta description" is so important)" . . . where is Meta-description done in a WordPress Blog (I'll be using BlueSense theme as you recommend, and I presume All-In-One-SEO-pack is good to use, right?)? And what to say in whatever generates the meta-description . . . how to use keyphrases etc. in it?

Also, I read on another forum here that you shouldn't put the same keywords in the title and in the tags, if I understand correctly. Is that right? So should one use Tags (such as "SimpleTags), and if so, what tags to enter, how many etc.?

And if I understand correctly, another comment of yours said you shouldn't use Categories at all, right? So all posts should be "Uncategorised"?

I am a bit new to all this, I've been using All-In-One-SEO-pack and Simple-Tags for other WordPress projects . . . how to use those (or something better?) to optimise Blog Pages and Posts for getting results with your method?

Mark,

I've been reading this thread and I was convince with all the good things you shared on this thread so I'm giving it a try. I'm putting up a my web site for adsense.

Are you still using the UAW up to now? Is it really worth it? I ask this because I'm about to purchase my subscription with them.

Thanks,
Hearti

[cdicicco]

Hello mark, I need to get in contact with you either through PM or email so please respond ASAP. I have tried both cannot get in touch with you.

Thanks,

Chris

[icyimp]

Mark,
whatever happened to you? Was really interested in your adsense site setup service. Do you know anyone else that does this??

[rajsidhux]

I would like to ask all readers of this great post, especially internetmarketer99, a quick question if I may.

Is anyone putting up sites, getting them indexed by google and then after say 3 - 4 weeks having the sites drop somewhere in the hundreds - NOT DEINDEXED THOUGH?

If anyone has experienced this I wold relly like to hear your experiences and how you overcame or tackled them.

Thanks guys.

[Laura B]

This roller coaster ride will happen with new sites. It may take a few months for your rank to stabilize somewhat in the SERPs. Just be patient, keep working on the sites, and they'll come back.

[acgcoug]

Thanks for all the information. I gotta admit, I am in a stage of information overkill right now. I have intentions of building more sites, but am struggling just learning how to build one. I too have intentions of using adsense to make a little money, but mostly to cover my host costs. I will be referencing this post again in future, thanks again.

[cdicicco]

Hello Mark, I have been trying to get in touch with you for some time now in regards to the site I purchased from you a month ago. Will you please respond to me by cell phone (which I supplied to you by email) or through here asap?

[jayveen]

Heh. That just happened to me, for the third time. I've had many sites get on the first page of Google, but three of them fell off, completely, of the top 200. Two of the sites I've gotten back, both to the first page, while the third site is still off the top 200. I did some routine maintenance on all of them, like putting links from the category posts to the main site, stuff like that, but I think a big part of it is just that damn Google dance. Its really strange, and I still haven't figured out exactly what it is that causes things to drop or causes things to get back to the first page.

[warkreech]

that was a very informative post. and i think there's no harm in applying these suggestions. good post!

A lot of people say to use one 300x250 ad per page. Right in the middle...

I've seen some narrow templates like AdFlex that to this. I'm guessing that xfactor templates use similar ones.

Is this a good idea? Not using using sidebar ads?

[warrich]

in adsense all are the important is cpm and impression

[ztws]

In Traffic Travis, how do you find the backlink values for sites? I've been trying to find the right place to do it and I can't seem to locate it. Thanks.

Stop posting this non-informative crap and padding your post count.

[stevereed1968]

Hi

My first post, these threads are fantastic, thanks so much for the wealth of info.

I have found some good keywords, one with an LSV of 6600 pm for exact match, exact phrase count of 11500 and SOC of only 4. Got to do some more delving before settling on it. The keyword phrase has a city in the phrase, there are a number of phrases the same but with different city names. However, I cant find a good umbrella phrase as a main page for the site.

Does the idea of just creating pages for each phrase with city name seem like a reasonable idea, bearing in find that I'd have to use one of the phrases with city name as my domain name. I guess I'm really trying to get each page ranked on it's own merits revolving around a single phrase, so it might be a goer.

Your view appreciated

Steve

I don't think he's responding to this thread anymore. I've seen him in other threads but for whatever reason he won't respond here. He was suppose to send me info about his program for setting Adsense sites, but have not been able to get a response from him. Because I am so busy with all my e-commerce sites it was worth it for me to pay someone to setup the sites as his program advertised.

[spin]

Excellent thread, I read the whole thing non stop. Awesome, thanks

[Oliver Allen]

I think that I already all the tools that I need that you described in this post and actually I was thinking of performing this process with wordpress.

Thank you for this insight. I see that I can definitely start generating some income today.

Yeah, pity Mark turned out to be a scammer.

Thanks for sharing this. At the moment I am lucky to get 50p a day so any improvement on that would be great!

I assume Mark was or is internetmarketer99?

edit: NM I went back to beginning and reread, yes he is. I also just noticed he has been Banned. Not to complain but might be a nice thing to have a script that posts across banned members threads that individual has been banned in red bold caps or at least in large red bold caps to the left under profile name. If he were selling something with a write-up like he had here - I can see people buying it like hot cakes just off the griddle, shh I was going to purchase but couldn't find the product....LOL

Do a search for his WSO he ran.

More drama than a Days Of Our Lives episode..

[hamburglar]

Did you bother reading the cause of the drama?

I did not purchase WSO, however I have discussed with him on numerous occasions about his performance. I will vouch for his service anytime because he has guided me in my own "mini" success.

The reason for the drama (the late delivery) is because of his personal problems that interfered with business. They are sorted out now.

Relax dude... I never said he was a scammer, I just said there was a lot of drama.

Hey,

I never knew my remark came threatening to you. That was not my intention. I was just stating my experience with him.

You are right about the drama, I looked at the WSO and it looked rather nasty. I hope he figures it out because it seems like there are a lot of pissed of customers.

Hey,

There is. I updated my thread. On saturday I hit $27/day my highest ever. Yesterday I hit $21/day. I am avg about $14/day this month. Back in Oct (first month) I avged about .25/day. So a long ways I have come but more to go.

I made a new design template that converts really well and have a great way of getting niches.

I hired a content writer and have the whole process automated except for KW research.

thats it in a nutshell.

[slazer90]

Thanks you for this post! Very good information and I needed a template like that.

[vema123]

Sorry if I've missed anything, but I've got several questions which puzzle me a lot:
1. Anyone's got any idea WHY Mark (internetmarketer99) is now banned?
2. For anyone who's tried his idea of making $100/day, how's your project going on? Any success?

Thanks
Silvia

Wow! $27/day.. Way to go.. I'm still at $5/day. Kind of low.. However, a thread like this keeps me going.. When my spirits are low I just go back here and other similar threads and reread each and every one's journey to Adsense success..

Thank you and Keep it up..

[dknyrob]

Great Job.... Big improvement.... I also had a $31 dollar day the other day which was my highest since back when I first started years back at $24... after getting xfractor's book I now about the same as you 15 dollars a day with about 25 sites in counting... Keep it up hamburglar

[spin]

27 bucks a day, thats really good. I have 1200 - 3000 uniques visitors a day. A average day for me is about 50 cents with many days producing nothing. Once in a blue moon I get a buck or two and I mean once in a blue moon. I'm at the point that adsense is pointless, lol

[Heimir Finnson]

How do you guys determine the SoC? Do you just look at the number of competing pages?

I've used Market Samurai, but after double checking everything I found out that in some cases it's way off.
I haven't used MNF yet but I might try it out.

@Stallion:
I've been following your "journey" on this thread. Any new updates?

Very Very helpfull, i might try something like this.

[lilian929]

wow, this thread is very informative and great, it teaches how an average beginner can maximize his income from the Adsense program and even make an out standing revenue of 100+$$ a day !! thanks , keep up the good posts, regards.

[perfumer]

Anyone knows what happened to Mark?
Why did he get banned?

[Globe_Trotter13]

Perfumer, I'll try my best to summarize why Mark was banned:

Mark was banned for the following reason:
Back in early september, he offered a WSO in which he would do all the work and build a nice site from scratch that would make decent income on complete autopilot. He would create the site, do the pre-eliminary research, write 10 unique content on the niche. He claimed he would also do the initial promotion of the site as well as provide us with a cheat sheet and a guideline to follow on daily steps to do to continue making the site even more profitable. All of this for about $200. I signed up as well as a whole bunch of people. He claimed the site would be ready within a week or so. This was again at the beginning of September 2009. I only got my site towards the end of September as opposed to the 1 week time frame he had claimed. I also was among the first people to sign up for his WSO. After that, each time we inquired about when would we receive the remaining parts of the deal such as the articles and above all (at least as far as I'm concerned since that was the main reason I signed up for the deal) the cheat sheet and the daily steps guide, he would respond back stating that within a day or 2, it would be ready. After 2 days, still nothing and that went on for weeks and 2 months later, about 90% of the people that paid for that service, were left with an uncomplete work and emails and inquiries unanswered from him.

What had happened? He apparently got too greedy and took on way too much work that he could handle by himself. Hence the very big backlog. A few people started losing patience and demanding their money back. The first people that requested it had their money back. Being the extra patient guy that I am among many others who saw the value in this work and were willing to give the guy enough time to complete it, I along a bunch of other very patient people, waited and waited till the very end till Mark completed dissapeared and was subsequently banned from the admin due to too many complaints against him. Now, all of us/those that were patient enough to wait to see the work completed, had of course, gone way over the 45 days window that paypal gives to dispute a transaction and get a refund. Right before he dissapeared from this site, he claimed that he would assist us (those who wanted a refund) with paypal. I tried to email the guy several times at the email address that I purchased that WSO along when initially he would email me with "updates" but again, I haven't heard back from him.

I really don't know what else can be done to get my 200 bucks back from him. I, along a whole bunch of other Warriors, feel I am being cheated by someone that I trusted due to his quality posts such as the ones in this thread and here I am now, with 200 bucks that I guess I'll have to write it off as a learning lesson/stupid/noobie tax for trusting someone with a few good posts. If any of the ones who still haven't received their money back or those that did receive it, please make yourselves heard and let's brainstorm on how we can recoup our money from that thief. Has anyone heard from Mark lately? Is he really willing to assist us getting our money back as he was claiming before he got banned from here?

Thanks.

[Rebecca108]

One question I have about Adwords in general is, once you build an Adwords site, how long term do you think it is? I can see it being worth the work if it's a keeper, but if it sinks down in the search engines after a while, I'd find it harder to keep up my motivation. I guess, how much maintenance is necessary?

Thanks for all the insight.

[DireStraits]

Rebecca108: I presume you're referring to Adsense sites (not Adwords)?

In any case, how much maintenance they take really depends on the level and strength of competition.

Basically, it depends how strong the competition are working to outrank you.

I'd say, if earning money with Adsense appeals to you, take the time to build up your site(s), and see whats what. See what you make.

Don't forget that when you get to the point where you're earning a really decent income from your Adsense site(s), you can invest a small portion of your income into some outsourcing so that the maintenance work is carried out on your behalf, and your rankings are maintained.

[lizalemin]

wonderful information thanks for sharing. its very useful
