Hi Steve,

What tool do you use to track your adsense data?

Thanks.

[Steve Crooks]

I have used many different tools, site supe tracker for one but I just stick with Analytics in combination with my adsnese account. The information this gives me is invaluable.

Hi Steve,

Believe it or not I've read through this entire thread plus all your challenge blog posts (don't ask how long that took!) and found it very inspirational and motivating.

I had a question about the number of articles you ended up posting to your website, however. At various point you suggest you need to post 300 to 400 articles in order to reach your goal, but in a post in mid March you say you decided to only post 80 articles and focus on backlinks to these articles.

I was wondering what was the total number of articles you have submitted to date to the blog (especially given you recent increase in daily amount coming into adsense) and whether you had any thoughts/evaluations about the math you used to start out (regarding average number of hits you hoped to receive per post, and the number of posts needed to reach your $100 goal).

Thanks again for sharing your experience!

[Steve Crooks]

Wow.. You surely win the endurance challenge!

Yes, I was (am) going to be posting a lot more articles. I decided that I would concentrate initially on promoting a small selection of the better articles first though. My goal is to get those articles indexed in the top 10 of Google and then slowly keep posting more and more articles over time.

This brings up an important point which I should have mentioned earlier. A lot of people think about website promotion as being about promoting the site itself which is a huge mistake. It's a subtle difference but the best way in my opinion is to think about promoting each article as it's own entity. The site as a whole will look after itself if you care for the internal pages..

When I have mentioned this in the past, people immediately start asking whether that means they need to start sending thousands of articles to ezine articles and other places for backlinks to each page. Not neccessarily, some articles will be easier to get into Google's top 10 than others, so it is very dependent on that.

To answer your question, I have around 100 posts up there and I am actively promoting around 15 to 20 of them currently and letting the others float until I get to them. Although this process takes time and energy, it is very worth it in the long run.

Have you experienced lower Adsense earnings when combining Adsense & Analytics? I have seen few of my friends complaining about it but nothing concrete yet...

[Alex-A]

Hi Steve,

Great thread! I didn't expect so many people still using adsense.

Keep up the good work!

[Steve Crooks]

No, not at all. In fact, the opposite happened but I don't put that down to analytics.

[japanguy]

Steve, I am wondering what software you use to keep track of your backlinks? I have access to AwStats in cPanel as well as Google Webmaster Tools. Strange thing is, they give me very different sets of backlinks! I am wondering if there is ONE software that is accurate and shows ALL the backlinks (including distinguishing between those which are no-follow)? Is it SEO Elite, or is there another? Thanks for your help!

[Steve Crooks]

The difference between awstats and analytics is that they both operate differently. I wrote an explanation of why there are differences between the two over on my forum here...

To keep track of backlinks, SEO elite is great but I love using firefox with SEOquake addon. It really is a great little addon.

Just noticed this thread. Great job Steve.

Although I use a completely different strategy myself, the point here
is that hard work pays off.

Finally finished reading all 1780+ comments. Now I'll open my copy of Cash Cow and get the rest of the story. Fantastic Forum. Maybe I'll make a few bucks with Adsense this time. Tried a few years ago and flopped.

[Steve Crooks]

I just read your thread also and completely agree with you about the hard work bit..

good luck steve , i will follow this thread

[Bounderby]

Steve I notice you haven't published an article on this site for four months. However, you are still ranked 6th on the first page of google.
You must be pretty happy with the passive income still being generated, but are you still intending to develop the site further and add more content, to reach the original goal?

[Steve Crooks]

Absolutely.. I just have tonnes of other exciting projects on the go at the same time but the cruise blog is going to be expanded.

[peter gibson]

Steve, I was wondering if you have used google's competitive ad filter and if so, what's your experience. Is it worth the hassle? I've noticed a few 0.01 clicks lately that I'm almost sure are made for adsense sites vying for my clicks - and it's kinda getting irritating knowing that I'm giving that money away.

(This may have been covered within the cavernous layers of this thread, and if so I apologize)

[Steve Crooks]

I personally have never tried the competitive ad filter but I am sure it will help you to filter out any domains you don't want advertising on your site.

Saw that you used a lot of effort into this. great job! i hope to be able to earn as much as you through one site only.

What is your take on adsense wrap?

[Yogini]

Steve,

Can you say what your main technique is for getting backlinks? Also, I know you use some articles from article directories. What percentage of the site is unique vs articles from directories (and are you adding your own content even to the pages from article directories you add to your site)? Thanks and great work.

Debbie

[Steve Crooks]

I can't say I have heard of Adsense wrap, can you give more information please?

Hi Debbie,

I have started a series on my 100 bucks challenge blog in my sig about how I get backlinks and the main techniques I use if you want to take a look.

I have about 80% or so unique content on my blog and the rest is made up of articles from directories plus some PLR also.

Thanks for sharing with us and willingness to open up so much info

[efrontiers]

I mean the way some bloggers wrap their adsense along with the content. This way, the adsense seems to float. What about adlinks?

[Steve Crooks]

Yes, Adsense within the text can be very effective in some cases. I usually find a square box works well as opposed to the horizontal rectangle. It should be used within your placement testing for sure.

Adlinks work well also when used in the right pace. The top nav bar is a good place but once again always test various positions, colours etc..

Thanks Steve for that. How many posts did you have when you reach the $40 daily revenue? Is it a requirement that the article submitted in directories must not be posted in your blog? How about the use of firepow to add content?

[Steve Crooks]

I had around 80 posts or so but the $40 was generated from all the ones I had been promoting harder. About 5 posts generate 60% of the income and the rest is spread between the rest of my posts from various long tail searches.

No it is not a requirement that you blog posts not be published in directories.

Firepow, would make it easier for sure, I have a video demonstrating this here..

great thread! I am subscribing to this one to know more information from steve. Thank you steve for this awesome thread and good luck with your $100 a day mission

[routonc38]

I have been learning so much, I'm only on page 16, and I appreciate everything you spelled out. I am using the format you listed from the beginning of this post to start a new niche site / blog and I'm using some of your ideas as well to help get traffic to a service offering site / blog I have as well. It has Adsense but the main purpose of that blog is to get clients for my service. I've been on Adsense for YEARS and have yet to get my first check. That's sad, I know. But I'm hoping that slow and steady will win me the race and I will be getting that first check within the year.

[bradleynsmith]

Hi Steve

Are you able top give us a quick update with how this all went ?

Thanks -

Brad Smith

[efrontiers]

Steve,

Hm, I think I did not get the 2nd answer to your last post.

This is because I have been used to posting a different article to directories and a different article to my blog because I fear duplicate contents. Will the same article posted in ezine and in your blog (later after ezine approved it) have problems? Or do I need to edit it always when posting to my blog?

Thanks for the firepow video. Considering it when I get a steady amount from adsense every month to pay for firepow.

[Steve Crooks]

I wrote quite extensively about this on another thread somewhere, sorry can't remember where, it might even be on this thread or even on my 100 bucks challenge blog.. Anyway, the jist of it is, you can quite happily post the same article on your blog as you do on the article directories but just make sure you don't put a backlink from article X on ezine articles to article X on your blog.. A backlink from article X on Ezine to article Y on your blog is fine though..

However, I still like to keep a lot of my content on my blog unique though just to give readers something original and fresh. It is a personal choice but don't worry about the duplicate content myth.

Dear Steve,

Have you ever use the Unique article wizard service?
Kindly share your view about this particular service.

Thank you.

[Steve Crooks]

Hi Pixel, I have never used the service so sorry, I can't make a comment on it. There are plenty of people who have here on warrior with a few reviews.

[routonc38]

About to start reading page 29 and have to say I have learned so much! If you haven't read through this thread you have no idea what you are missing on!

I cannot figure out how to do the thank you thing that others have done when you really like a post. I've got to thank Ninja for the video on the Google Wonder Wheel and Julia for just all around good advice and BGMacaw for his ideas on templates and marketing and, of course, Steve himself!

I have some experience with IM but I never succeeded at anything, but I am learning so much from so many sources. I'm making notes to incorporate tools and tips into future sites. I actually have hope now!

My dh and I are looking at a move and I'm looking at having to get back to a "real" job after four years of self-employment. I am not looking forward to that, so I'm really going after my service business and some niches so that I can continue to stay home and make money. And I enjoy this so much!

I'm currently promoting my service business based on some of Steve's information and I'm working on gathering articles and stuff for my first niche blog and all of the advice I've learned here is helping with that effort.

So thanks again, and if someone can tell me how to say thanks for a specific post I would appreciate it.

[forex trading advice]

what kind of content would u focus on?

[Steve Crooks]

Mainly unique content that is good to read because what is good to read, google will like also and if google like it then they index you highly.

Hi Steve, I know this question has probably been answered but I don't want to read through all the post to find it. The question is, did you make your goal of 100 dollars a day in Adsense revenue with your new blog?

[wildfremd]

so what's the update on this blog? did it make it's mark by march?

[Steve Crooks]

No, best day I have had so far was around $70.. I will get there one day though.
