My first adsense website!

[Leanne King]

Hi Tim, nice site. Hope its the first of many adsense sites. If you are just starting out it is a good idea to keep them all in one niche for example; cancer... just makes it easier to manage.

Leanne

[Tim45]

Hi Leanne, Thank you for your compliment. I'll stay with this niche. I have found a bunch of cancer related keywords with a high search volume and low competition. Its a rescipie for success, now if I can only get better at writing articles.

[airmenwes37]

I would recommend also changing the wide skyscraper on the side to a blue link and also the rectangle at top needs to have a black or grey url on the bottom.

I think your site has potential. Not sure if you perhaps shouldn't integrate your google ads a little more less conspiculously into your site. You need to give the user lots of content!

[blueberry62]

I am having trouble with my adsense. When I tried to change the color for the titles for the google ads, they would show changed and then I would check my site and they didn't change. I have tried 3 times now. Also, does anyone have any ideas about how I could better monetize my ads??

Thanks!!

[Shellaine]

Hi guys,
That's a very nice adsense site you have there Tim45...

That's great... keep it up..

Now I have some questions about Wordpress..

Are they free to get this one just blogger.com which are free to use ?

Thanks,
Shellaine

[Leanne King]

Hi Tim, congrats on your earnings so far! If you are worried about your articles and don't have the budget to pay a writer just yet try using the everprofits toolbar with internet explorer. It fetches keyword related content for you ie an article and you can rewrite it by adjusting the percentages ie 50% etc. I'm a bit of a fusspot myself so I use it capture research and then I just rewrite that in my own words.

I hope that this helps you.

Hi, try changing the color of the title in the code itself or delete
the code from your website and go back to google and make a
new code, one or the other should work.

The content and the layout of your website is very important,
you should try different things like write some articles about
the theme of your website and place the main one on the home
page of your website then submit other articles to ezines and
directories with the url to your website in the bio box.

Also try different size ads at the top and side where people
are most likely to click.

The free adsense videos in the link below is very helpful on how
to monetize and build adsense websites.

Hi, there are a lot of great WP themes out there
that are free but, this theme is not free but
very reasonably priced. you get 24 themes with this
package for just $27.00. If you are interested, I put
a link to the templates at the bottom of my website.

Hi Leanne, thanks for the tip. can you pm me the link to the everprofits toolbar
or is it already apart of IE?

[Tim45]

Hi Everyone, I have made changes to my website that warriors here reccomend I do. I rewrote the article on the home page, added an affiliate banner to the top and bottom of the page, added a privacy policy and a link to this template at the bottom of the page. your constructive criticism will be appereciated. Here is a link again to my first adsense website:
Understanding Breast Cancer Treatment

Thanks,
Tim

[michaelbeauchamp]

Hey Tim45,

good job, keep it up.

With all the varying opinions, I bet you feel like you're being pulled in a hundred directions.

I wouldn't worry too much about making each article perfect, as long as they're readable and make sense. That's not the main purpose of the site after all.

On the other hand, since it's in the medical/health arena, I'd second the recommendation for a disclaimer on each page.

All the best,

Michael

[DBryan78324]

I'm no writter and my selling stinks, but I thiink your site looks great and wish I could make one as good. Good Luck
Dave

[GaryHarvey]

Hi Tim,

I think it looks great too. You've added the banner to your header too - a nice touch.

And I agree re adding a medical disclaimer.

After having my site that uses the same template dropped from Google a few days ago, I would strongly suggest you add the word 'advertisement' or similar under your article headings and above the article text. I'm not sure that this is what got me dropped from Google but it might be - see my site at Harmedia.com to see what I've done since then. Might give you some ideas. But I cant guarantee that I've correctly discerned what the problem was that got me dropped.

Google also removed this site from their indexes, which is a worse penalty - one you want to avoid if you possibly can.

Gary

[GaryHarvey]

In case you're wondering, the great big empty space at the top of the pages is where the Google ads would normally show.

Gary

Hi Gary, sorry to hear about the lose of your adsense code. Good luck getting the issue resolved with google.

Thanks for the advice on the disclaimer. Did you write your own or did you have a lawyer write it for you?

Thanks again,
Tim

[GaryHarvey]

I did some online research and compiled my disclaimers from what I found.

There are free sources. I think just search for something like 'free disclaimer statement'. Maybe add the word generator to that search.

BTW... I'm not saying the original template was at fault. Fact is... I simply dont know what caused my Google troubles.

OK Gary, Thanks again. Talk to you later.

[PalatnkFactor]

You will convert best also with inline ads that mixes in with your content.

[magnum3]

nice! keep it up!

[Tim45]

My website is now in third place for the term "understanding breast cancer treatment" on the first page of google. It is 10th on yahoo on the first page and 9th on msn on the first page, however this phrase is not bring me much traffic. I'd like your thoughts on what I can do to get more traffic.

[zirkamer]

Give it more time and write more articles for submission and to put on the site.

Zirkamer

[Tim45]

Hi Worriors, This website has been up and running for about four months now and I'm not getting the traffic I was hoping for. Can you have a look at it and tell me what I can change or add to the site to bring in more traffic? Also I'm not getting many clicks on my adsense ads, can you tell how I can improve that as well?

Thank you,
Tim

[mistertortoise]

hi,

how are you promoting the site?

Some things you could be doing:

1. posting articles to ezines and other sites to get traffic and backlinks
2. social bookmark your pages.
3. submit your RSS feed to as many sites as possible.
4. leave comments in related blogs and forums with your URL.

Are you still adding content to the site?
Give google a reason to visit your site by regularly updating your content.

have you tried moving the adsense around?

maybe try putting the link banner form the bottom of the page up to the top and move the big block so it is integrated with the text.

you could try moving the skyscraper on the left above the navigation.

hope something there gives you some ideas to get going with

ric

[rubberleg]

I'd try moving the ad units around on the secondary pages. Move the right side ad unit up to where the nav is and move the big unit down under the content. On the secondary pages.

[Dantplayer]

Site looks great. Shows some effort in the design and look. Very good for 1 day's work.

[Tim45]

OK Thanks, I'll try putting the same ad that's at the top on the bottom and let you know how it works.

[alshir827]

I am impressed, nice layout!

[Tim45]

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to update you all on the progress of my first adsense website.
I finally made my first 100 bucks from google! It's been a long time coming and an up hill battle to say the least. I can only hope the next 100 bucks I earn is a lot easier to achieve. I have learned a lot but I'm sure I have a lot more to learn.

Thanks to all the warriors here who gave me some good advice.

Hey, Big Congrats Tim! Hope to be able to say that myself someday!
Keep it up!
Want to share what seems to be working for you 'traffic' wise? What type of visitor #s do you see?

Hope it continues for you
Andie

[Tim45]

Hi Andie, I started using a traffic system a few weeks ago that is getting me more targeted traffic. The niche I'm in fetches about a buck per click so it doesn't take long to reach 100 when you have targeted traffic. My strategy from here on out is to set up niche blogs and have this traffic system post relevant content to it and monetize it through adsense, clickbank and amazon. I also write articles and post them to this traffic system and they submit them to a bunch of other relevant blogs which of course give me a bunch of back links. So far this system seems to work well, I'll keep you updated.

Wow I remember you. This thread was started like 15 months ago. Congrats on making the first 100 bucks from Google but that was a long time to do so. Are you concentrating on other strategies in IM?

If you want to see some other good adsense threads to help you increase your income then Xfactor has 2 of them, one from the old forum and one in this forum.

The Warrior Forum - My Adsense Progress: $0 to $35 Per Day in 7 Weeks

6 Months Later: $300 Daily w/Adsense (Lessons Learned)

I still find that the wordpress theme you used for your site is one of the best I've seen for simple adsense sites.


Kevin.

[Tim45]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your input. Would you care to share the tactics you use to generate adsense income? How much income are your websites generating per month?

Thanks again,
Tim

[ashumer]

Hello Tim,
Well done!
Excellant site!
Very good for your first attempt at Adsense website; here is hoping you create many more.
I always beleive in simplicity as taught by Micro Niche Course (worth for you to read; I have no affiliation etc) and your theme is very good, simple and to the point.
One minor suggestion,
Make your links with target='blank' so that your site remains on the screen when someone clicks on any links; I know you do not have any control on Google Adsense Links but others you do.
This is the worst part of Google Adsense; once clicked, you have lost the browser/reader into oblivion! I hope Google improves on this 'lost' reader in their next re-vamp!

[Tim45]

I have a link to the theme in the footer of my website if you are still interested.

Thanks again,

Please have a look at it and give me your thoughts.

Thank you,

Tim,

looks great.
I used the same template for my mortgage site,
but monetized it only with AdSense ( not banners nor links ).

Your links in the footer look nice.

Very convincing general look,
congrats!!

Juhani

[Tim45]

It is at the very bottom on the right side. It is "Niche Adsense Themes" text link. I'd put it here but I'm sure I'd get banded. Have another look at the home page. It is also in the side bar of ezgoarticles.com under resources.

Juhani, Thank you for the compliment. How is the mortgage niche going for you?
That is a niche I've been thinking about targeting for a while but it look too competitive for me at this point. I have been setting up article websites and that seem to be doing well for me as far as generating traffic.

[johnben1444]

Well, that's a nice site for a layman, work on providing quality content and useful information. Well done once again.

[Tim45]

Thanks John, by the way, if anyone here is interested, I found a way to build adsense websites on auto pilot. What I do is set up an article website like this one Article Information Submission Directory I upload a plug-in that gathers unique content and uploads it to my website free. All of the content is pre screened before it is uploaded automatically. You can set the plug-in to upload as many articles as you want per day. I have about 10 being added per day. I added my adsense code and let it do its thing. I check it everyday to make sure things are running smoothly but other then that, it's all automated. I am going to focus on niche article websites from here on out and I'm going to focus on high paying targeted keywords such as cancer, anti aging, etc. It takes a little longer to get content uploaded to your website but it will be worth the wait.

[howinfo]

I like your domain name, very keyword rich. I have been experimenting with domain names like that and although some people told me that Google will laugh me out, they seems to be working very well.

[Tim45]

Keyword targeted domains are a must these days if you want to have an seo advantage.

[StephenSmithE]

Nice!
Like the layout. Should have my first adsense site up in a couple days.
Thanks for the preview.
stephen

[Tim45]

Stephen, I'll help you along the way if you get stuck. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but what I have learned I'll gladly pass on.

[clickwise]

You have hyphens in your domain name.

Bad move. It's like buying .info's.
