This is why a wordpress blog is your best bet. I take the high paying keywords and use on the main blog index. I then use the lower competition keywords with good search volume. For my post on the blog. I just recently started one this way which is getting around 1 click per 10-18 page views. Granted most of the keywords are low paying keywords. How ever the more work and the more content I place there the more traffic it gets. More traffic means more clicks if it holds true to my current 1 click per 10-18 page views. I also use this blog to post the occasional clickbank product with in the niche. Also since I always also build a sales/review page selling clickbank, paydotcom, and click2 sell products. I make money off sales of these products as well. Which at present the lowest paying product commissions I make for these products is right around 50$ per sale. So even if the adsense does not get any better. I am still currently getting about 3$ from adsense for low paying keywords and a sale or 2. As another note too. I do run a ppc campaign how ever this goes directly to the sales page. I then have a link to the blog area from the sales page. As a way to keep them on the site longer. The more pages they view and not find what they are looking for the more chances I have at them clicking on an ad that pops up.

The one thing I do not have that I do have on my other blogs is the ads in the actual post itself since it was interfering with my theme. I do however have one 600 virticle banner adsense ad 1 linked adsense ad and 1 200virticle adsense ad. The 600 virticle banner ad is right below all the categories on one side. Then the 200 and the link on the other side right at the top. I also added affiliate links which I would get paid per lead.

I never mix Adsense sites with affiliate sales. The focus is completely different, and I would have to compromise one or the other - or both.

I have plenty of affiliate sites, but their form, structure, and content are very different.

In my own experience, if you want to maximize your Adsense earnings, you have to optimize for Adsense.

I do have it optimized for adsense however I point them to my sales page say every 3-4th post or I simply pick a keyword related to the click bank product which is cloaked using a redirect from my own site to the clickbank site. They will do one of 2 things

They will either go to the site I provided them with. If they did not like that they will browser back. Thus making them view more of my pages also with the more pages they view if I do not have a product link in the post sooner or later they will see an ad that is what they where wanting. This has worked very well for me and I have done this with every single blog I currently. My first goal is always picking the higher paying keywords so to pull up those ads. Second I focus my articles around the products.

Most people will always use the browser back if they are using the search engines to find what they are looking for. Another point I would like to make out of the newest one. Which currently gets around 100 visitors a day in less then 2 weeks. This blog gets around 130 page views. Out of the 100 visitors only about 10 of them are bouncing. The average time they spend on the blog and main site is around 2-3 minutes. This is for a start up which has only been live now for 2 weeks. So I did something right considering it also only has a total of 60 backlinks listed at the time being.

@pete - my point is that the best chances for success are to narrow your focus to a single business model, and optimize for that.

I am following a similar approach as the OP. My time is limited due to working full time and family commitments so I put the time initially into creating a plan of attack and just sticking to it. My approach is doing 4 sites with 8 articles per site over 6 weeks. 3 of the sites are aimed at Adsense and the last is aimed at CPA and Clickbank offers.

The first day of the cycle I do my research and find 8 keywords for each site I want to target. I purchase the domains and setup the sites ready for writing. The next 4 days (I work on it 5 days a week) I write 4 articles for each site and submit them to EZA.

The next week I build a link wheel for each of the articles focusing on 1 or 2 properties a day (For e.g: I do Blogger and Wordpress for all articles on the one night, livejournal and tumblr the next etc). I stick to the properties that don't flag content and have fast, easy to use editors. I have a spreadsheet file that shortcuts to each article and automatically fills out the target urls for the proceeding properties. My login details etc are just a click away. Everything is streamlined.

Week 3 I spend doing general backlinking, rss submits, commenting etc to keep the links looking random. I submit each article to thelinkjuicer for long term link building.

I repeat these 3 weeks for the final 4 keywords for each site so that after 6 weeks I have 4 sites up and running and moving up the serps with google. Like the OP, I target keywords that I know this system will handle so I don't get stuck pushing a keyword that takes all of my time. I focus on the higher CPC ($5+) so that I can hit keywords that rank easy but less traffic.

In regards to having CPA offers on an Adsense page: I found my Adsense CTR dropped when I put a CPA banner on the site as they are usually attractive ads. If the user is click friendly then they seem to go for the CPA over the Adsense. My CTR and CPC meant the Adsense worked better for me. My clickbank sites and CPA articles are written totally differently and target different styles of words to my Adsense sites so that is why I separate them. I have something to break the fall if Google bans me also.

@fraggler - sounds like you have a good plan. I wouldn't mix CPA and Adsense. They would each be optimized differently, and at best you'd be diluting both. Stick to what is working for you.

Mark,

So if you are making the post on the homepage/index to incorporat the target keywords what do you put for the title of that page when the homepage is listed in the SERPs? We know that if a internal page is ranked it will have the keyword for that page as the title, but what about the homepage?

Say on your homepage you have incorporated the keywords "mens weight loss", womens weight loss", fast weight loss", etc.. and also have pages targeted for each of these keywords what would put as title of the index page when the homepage is showing up in the SERPS?

Would you use the root keyword (in this example "weight loss") and name it like "Weight Loss Guide and Resource?" Or do you use a more targeted keyword (another 3 word length keyword) with low comp/high search volume as the title so that it will rank since using "weight loss" as the index title it will be difficult to rank for it initially.

The initial homepage will be titled as the name of the blog, which will contain my root keyword phrase and URL. As long as it has all my target keyword phrases in it's content, I don't do anything else with it. What I'm really working towards is ranking the individual pages and their target keyword/phrases.

So for my example in the weight loss, then if my blog name is "Weight Loss Guide" and my domain is www.weightlossguide.xxx, then I should just title the homepage with "Weight Loss Guide" or should it be www.WeightLossGuide.xxx when it shows up in the SERPs?

internetmarketer99 (Mark),

I have waded through oodles of stuff on Adsense and this is by far the best I have read for small long-tail keyword WP blogs. You really should think about making a product with this approach.

Your advice on linking posts to pages for keeping the content fresh was priceless since posts can be short, say a paragraph or two. I've always had this problem of too many options for content with WP and your tip resolves it beautifully. Also, I loved the BlueSense theme.

I'm going to do your system. After a site is built, indexed, and backlinked, I'm even thinking (for maintenance) of using a top 100 Google Trends keyword (in addition to the target keyword) in a post once in a while if it is pertinent and see what happens. And a video now and then.

Wait, excel can do this automatically?

That is the one thing that I hate, filling out my author name, article title, short description, article, resource, box, etc for every directory. Not to mention it seems most times I have to edit my article since it gets messed up when I copy and paste. And right now I don't have the extra cash for some article software to do all of this for me automatically.

How do I set up excel to do this for me? Or are you just talking about copy and pasting?

Thanks.

In this example, the blog name, and homepage post title, would correctly be "Weight Loss Guide".

Thanks for the kind words, Michael.

I should add that any additional efforts i.e. videos, etc., can only help your rankings.

Good luck - if you're so inclined, post your progress.

mark,

sorry if i am asking stupid question. What is the different between pages and posts in wordpress ?

eg. if I find a niche with 20 keywords , am i going to create 20 pages for those keywords ? but those 20 keywords page are static if using wordpress.

eg. www.mainkeyword.com/about-us (this is also page, am i right) ?
and www.mainkeyword.com/KW1 (this can be page also right but the content is static as about us).

but for post, it will be
www.mainkeyword.com/how-to-keyword or
www.mainkeyword.com/category/how-to-keyword (this depends on how we setup our permanent link structure in wordpress , am i right )?

How to use your on-page linking strategy for pages and posts ?

I am confused.

Most people recommend using phrase match for the search. The broad match is pretty broad and will give you numbers for things that don't match your keyword very well at all. If any of the words are in there, in any order, that counts for broad. If you use phrase, then the words you choose has to be in there in that specific order, but there might be words in front or behind. Which for most folks works best. If you use exact match, then it has to match exactly with nothing more or less. You will miss quite a few possible matches with this, in my opinion.

For all around best, I believe that phrase match is the best selection.

Mark,

I just read through the entire thread of John (Xfactor). What a treat!

His idea of using a single block of Adsense code between the header and the content confirms what I did recently on a forum I run before stumbling onto these threads. My own Adsense earnings on the forum increased dramatically when I took away all the other ad blocks and placed only one at the place he suggested. But I did it without anyone telling me to.

Since he confirmed what I have already experienced, I started looking for another WP template than BlueSense. I found Ad Flex, which looks like it will be the simplest among Adsense-enhanced WP templates for my ideas. I do intend to experiment with BlueSense, though, possibly for video games, since (like someone said somewhere) kids seeking cheat codes, etc. are click-happy. It makes sense to give them a few more alternatives.

I also own MNF, so John's advice on using it and making small expanded sniper-like sites aligned with my own experiences. I greatly appreciated his idea of making sites only on specific products (or small groups).

His comment about not optimizing an Ezine article for a keyword you are trying to get your site to rank for (since your article might end up outranking your site) was another of those obvious—but priceless—gems. Anchor text in the resource box for backlinks and that's it.

This gave me the idea of optimizing an article for a researched keyword related to a target site, but one which will not be optimized on the site—still using the site's keyword as the anchor text in the resource box. That way you get the small traffic that naturally comes from an article related to the topic, and you get more traffic to the article from its high ranking in Google's SERPS, while still getting the backlink with the site's keyword.

Thanks to you both. I have not posted over there yet, but I will.

And, yes, I will keep you updated with some of my experiences.

Michael

Yup, Xfactor's incredibly generous threads were a large part of my motivation for posting my methods.

I also that tip about not optimizing Ezinearticle submissions for your target keyword and just taking advantage of the link juice to be brilliant, obvious-once-someone-else-tells-you gems.

If we're using WordPress and we make a (new) page, the url will be like this:
http://url.com/big-apple-tree/

However if we make a (new) post with the same title, the url will go like this:
http://url.com/big-apple-tree/

They're both have the same URL. My question is:
Why can't we make 10 posts instead of 10 pages for the keywords we want to rank high in SERP, and apply the same technique as you do (we later make other posts linking to each of those 10 initial posts) to boost them in SERP?

vema123,

That's an interesting idea, but I don't see much point to inducing confusion if your goal is traffic from SERPS (which it should be if you want money).

One thing I have seen commented on in several places, and I have verified with my own sites, is that your main traffic over time comes from small percentages of people from a large number of weird combinations of words that often have little to do with your main keyword. This is because people type in all kinds of crazy things when they search.

So focusing on a single term is not as important for organic traffic as it may seem at first. I believe that including a bunch of related terms is vastly more important.

The best place I have found to get related terms (charmingly called LSI, Latent Semantic Index, just to confuse people a lot) is from the Google Adwords keyword tool. It gives you a bunch of terms (in both the "related terms" and "additional keywords to consider") and that Google finds important. Why not use what Google tells you it likes?

Also, if you plug in the URL of a site from the top SERPS for your main keyword (select "website content" in the keyword tool), Google will tell you a bunch of related keywords it thinks are important for that site.

It is a simple matter—literally a no-brainer—to make sure your content (article or site content) includes several terms from such easy lists to generate.

I keep seeing people say you should optimize a keyword at 3-5% density. I think they just repeat what others say because when I do that, my content suddenly sucks. I certainly would not read crap like that, so why would I expect anyone else to?

If I am using a long-tail keyword, even 2% density is hell to achieve without sounding like a dork. Now that Ezine articles has set a 2% cap for approval, I see no reason to worry so much about the main keyword you wish to optimize for the article (not necessarily the anchor text in the resource box).

In my opinion, although I have no data on this other than a general impression from reading a lot of stuff and from my own experiences, getting a keyword density above 1% and including, say, 5 or more related terms from Google's lists at least once each, should do more for a keyword rank than a higher density for the term itself. And you get the added traffic benefit from all those weird combinations.

I believe this will give you far more and far better traffic (for converting) than trying to squeeze link juice out of adding confusion to the URL.

(But I admit, I really like sneaky ideas like yours... )

So what you are telling is that I should have pages for my categories and then continue to add posts to that page?

This is good information, in particular the bluesense theme. I just downloaded it and modified it to fit my site. I will see how it performs, I am going to use it on a site that gets about 50-80 visits a day.

Normally produces $25-30 in adsense revenue. It should be an interesting experiment.

I have been using this style of low competition keywords, keword dense domains and seo for about six months. It works really well and getting content using outsourced providers makes the whole process rather painless.

They're both have the same URL. My question is:
Why can't we make 10 posts instead of 10 pages for the keywords we want to rank high in SERP, and apply the same technique as you do (we later make other posts linking to each of those 10 initial posts) to boost them in SERP?
As a post, you will have multiple URL's that point to the same content. It will be the domain URL initially, then change as it gets 'pushed down':


http://www.mydomain.com/
http://www.mydomain.com/page/2
http://www.mydomain.com/page/3...

http://www.mydomain.com/article
http://www.mydomain.com/article#more

etc...

You want your linking & ranking efforts focused on a single URL.

This also allows you to have your target page linked and visible from every page via your "Pages" function.

What about using categories instead of pages? Will that work just as good or no?

Quote:
My criteria for creating a site are that I can find at least 10 thematically-related keyword/phrases the EACH have at least 50 searches per day (1500/month), and competition under 40,000 (phrase-matched, or in quotes).

Realistically, I want search volume over 100/day and competition under 20k. This is not nearly as hard to find as you might think.

Good Luck!

Mark

PS - there's a TON of great information to be had reading Xfactor's terrific thread (6 Months Later: $300 Daily w/Adsense (Lessons Learned))!
WOW Mark!!
This thread is amazing and very informative. Thank you!!

I had a question regarding your keyword information above.

If I am unable to find one keyword with at least 1500 searches per month, but I can find multiple keywords that might have much lower searches, but add up to 1500 searches per month - would this be an effective alternative since I'm not finding only one keyword with 1500 searches?

For example, say keyword1 has 500 searches a month, keyword2 has 500 searches and month and keyword3 has 500 searches a month. So all 3 of these keywords together equal 1500 searches a month. Would this strategy work? And if looking at lower searched keywords would I still be looking at a competition under 40,000 or should I be looking for a lower competition number. If so, what specific competition number should I look for?

Thanks much!

Thanks a lot for sharing the concept but I would a say this is a very old theory to get success with Adsense. Please do something innovative then tell everyone. Theme, good keywords, keywords density etc almost everyone knows those.

@angelah - There's no reason you can't go after lower-volume keywords, but you'll obviously see diminishing returns since it can take just as much work. My feeling is, there are so many possibilities that it's not worth expending the effort going after low numbers.

That said, I have some sites that 'violate' my own guidelines - and it's important to realize they are just that: guidelines. The sites that I do that with are usually because they are very easy to rank for and I can group enough of these keyword phrases together to get good cumulative numbers.

Mark,
Thanks so much for the detail you have given in this post.

Few questions for you:
1.) If you can't get your keyword as the domain name will you use "dashes" in the domain name or do you add a number or word, or abandon all together?
2.) Do you add adsense blocks right away to your new sites or do you wait until they have gotten indexed?
3.) What adsense blocks do you use and how many?

Thanks again for this great info.

Mark,

I certainly am. I am thinking seriously about targeting the newbie market and this dude is one who will never sell anything to them.

I am so glad he is so obviously not interested. Less competition and all...

But even if he wanted to, if that post is any indication, I doubt he could sell ice cream to kids at an amusement park on a hot day.

Hi Mark,

I remember reading somewhere (I think it was a thread here) about new sites being given the benefit of the doubt and ranked higher than they would normally. Some even reach the first page in a matter of days while they are in this state of limbo. Then after 6 weeks, the main Google algorithm processes the site and it is ranked where it should be (usually lower).

Have you ever experienced this?

Steve

I prefer adding a suffix or prefix rather than dashes, such as keywordhub.com or a1keyword.com, but I've used dashes as well. I don't believe that creates a problem, however I do remember a talk from Matt Cutts mentioning that though Google doesn't 'penalize' dashes, they were his 'last choice'.

One indicator is that I rarely see domain names with dashes in the top few results, but that is also likely to be because the 'straight' domains rank well.

Still, I'd rather have "weight-loss.com" than "weightlosshub.com".

I always have Adsense on the site when they launch, but I don't launch until I have my my 'pages' done.

As for which Adsense blocks, it's the theme's layout.

On keywords with any sort of competition, this is pretty much the rule.

When Google indexes a page, they do a 'first-pass' calculation. The page gets a more 'thorough' calculation later.

Sorry I missed your question dv8.

No, categories are very different than pages. Also, where you have a single category entry, you've actually created 'duplicate content':

http://www.mydomain.com/categoryname/article-title

is a duplicate (different URL's, same content) of:

http://www.mydomain.com/article-title

Arrow internal linking strategy using posts, instead of pages

Hello Mark,

It's me again. Yes, I agree with you that by making our keywords we want to rank high on SERP on into pages, it's a good point to make those keywords into pages (let's say, 10 pages).

However, since early May this year, I've mistakenly made a website with pyramid cascade. I wonder if this method also has the same impact as your technique. It goes like this:

1. Let's say I have 13 keywords I want to rank high on SERP (supposedly those keywords are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M)
2. I made 13 POSTS (instead of pages) with pyramid cascade like this:
I agree with the idea that we should make pages, instead of posts, for the keywords, however, as I've made so many posts in my site since 2 months ago, do you think the above linking strategy also has the same impact as if I'd made the pages as you suggested?

Oh yes, another thing, Mark. Maybe it's still off topic, but I'm just curious about the problem I'm having right now:
About 2 weeks ago I stupidly made 1 (one) off topic post with very low keyword. Since then I've noticed the CPC has greatly decreased, following that low keyword in my off topic post. Then I deleted that post, however I still have low CPC till now. Do you think that the low CPC I've got is due to that off topic post I made the other day? How can I make my CPC be back to normal?


Thank you so much for your valuable answer, Mark
