Adsense - Consistency is Key

[bhuff85]

With so many different Adsense threads I've seen lately, I thought I'd swing by here quick to let those who are still trying their luck at Adsense know that consistency mixed with a couple other simple things is what is really the key to earning a steady stream of income.

I've managed to earn money here and there with Adsense, and I've also had plenty of small payouts, but nothing very "consistent" so to speak. So, I decided to give it another go about 2 months back and see what would come of it.

I've always been good with my SEO and ranking pages in the "big G", so I put up just 2 Adsense sites and used my personal SEO plan to get them ranked. These were keywords that had mild to medium competition and also had a decent exact search count (around 4,400 for one and 49,500 for the other). Both are more "micro niche" sites, complete with roughly 5 pages of total content, as well as necessary pages (such as privacy policy, contact us page, etc).

Today, I cracked $10 a day. Sure, it's not a TON of money, however, for 2 websites and less than 2 months time, this can certainly grow to a larger number, especially once I get three more sites to page 1 (including one that's got 49,500 exact monthly searches and is sitting at #11 on page 2 right now for it's term). Once these other sites get up to the top (and they are VERY close), my overall earnings will explode.

UPDATE 9/2/11 - That site above DID get to #1 last month. And, my earnings are now roughly $70 per day. Not bad from when I first started this thread in July!

What's the point of this thread? To show you that making money with Adsense CAN be done. I managed to do this in my spare time to "test the waters", so imagine what can happen when I start to crank it up a notch!

If you understand how to build a website, optimize it and build some backlinks, you can do this. Anyone can, really. You just need to understand that it WILL take some time at first, but everything sort of "snowballs" once you really get cooking. It's not the road to "instant riches", but then again, nothing is.

Here is a quick outline of how I built my sites:

- Find a niche or subniche that you're interested in with plenty of advertisers
- Find a KW phrase that has 1,000 or more exact monthly searches and is a phrase people are bidding on (more is better, but 1,000 seems to be the number where it's worth pursuing).
- See if a domain is available to purchase for that exact KW phrase and purchase it (EMD's are best for this purpose)
- Use Wordpress as your website's platform. Install and configure your site
- Find 3 to 5 (or more) long tail KW phrases (for content). To me, search count doesn't matter. This just gives you a better chance to bring in people from other long-tail searches.
- Write content for your main page + other targeted KW phrases and properly optimize them for both Adsense ads AND the search engines, but make sure these are written well. All of my content is 100% unique and written myself, simply because I felt more comfortable that way.
- Outsource social bookmarking and other link building efforts

Of course, that's just a small outline, but it gives you an idea of how you can do this. It's really nothing "new", but it works. Like I said before, I'm definitely no "guru" or genius when it comes to Adsense; however, I can see that the formula to earn cash with it is nothing more than:

Excellent Initial Research + Consistency of Putting in the Work + Time = Money

There are quite a few people here I've seen that have started out small and are now pulling in 4 to 5 figures per month with Adsense. Now that I've managed to setup a couple auto-pilot earners, I can finally see how these figures are possible.

Remember - Doing SOMETHING is better than doing nothing, so go grab your slice of the pie, too

[ProvenViral]

That is very true - consistency is key in making a good income on adsense.

There is nothing better than making money on a consistant basis.

Yes you are lining out the steps pretty well.

I myself look rather at search volume and (almost) ignore any "competition" numbers, with some exceptions they are really meaningless.

If you do this on a larger scale, this is really the key:

OUTSOURCING

Web content, creation (deployment) of sites, SEO/Linkbuilding

I personally also avoid all commercially (or freely) available so called "high CTR" or "Adsense" themes. I build sites based on my own template which is (IMO) a good compromise in looking ok and still giving decent CTR. I simply dont want to risk my Adsense account using any of those tricks some of the High CTR themes do.

If you outsource all vital steps, you can focus on the essential things...eg. keyword research, finding domains etc.

I agree. Outsourcing definitely allows you to multiply things at a much faster rate when you have your system in place. Find what you're good at and do it - let someone else handle what you're not good at and/or don't have time for.

I admit, I did seek the "high CTR" themes at first, but once I realized how to place my ads in a way that both accomodate the overall look/feel AND bring in a good CTR, I started using different themes to fit each site.

My CTR on my two main sites (that bring in the most earnings) hover around 15 to 20 percent, which is great. Surprisingly, bounce rates are low and the average time on-site is around 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Mix great, useful content with ultra-targeted ads (by optimizing your posts properly) and you've got a recipe for success.

[frogman]

Congrats on your first $10 day.
Ya gotta start somewhere, and $10 is more than most people will make online (due to follow through and such).
I remember the first time I had a $1,000 day. It ruined me (in a good way, sort of). If you've been there, you know what I mean.

[simonbuzz]

I think you are right....

Thanks! It was my first $10 day on Adsense only (not online in general). Like I said - for a bit less than 2 months and 2 sites ranking, its not too bad. Once I get more time and outsource more work, I expect to multiply it at a faster rate as I build new sites.

I agree with you that once you have a system which works, it's just a matter of scalability and replication.

[GGpaul]

Wow this is exactly what I needed! I'm close to 1 month in, and my 5 targeted keywords for my site are now at page 5. Hopefully in a week or two they'll be top 10. These keywords are low competition but high searches as well! I'm planning to build my second site soon too. Hopefully I'll be at $10 a day with adsense as well. I look at this business as a sprint and not a marathon. Just as long as every day counts!

Thanks for this thread, it's helping me to keep on moving forward!

This is the one thing most people fail to realize, as it does take some time to actually "get" a workable system in place. Right now, I'm just working on scaling things up big-time. I just like how everything starts to snowball after you really get things up and running.

Give those a few high PR links consistently, and you'll find yourself creep up to the top a bit faster (that is, if your competition is fairly light overall).

I used to analyze the crap out of the competition on the front page, but the only real measure I pay attention to anymore is the number of backlinks each site has and it's overall age. A site that's older than dirt with thousands of backlinks is going to be tough to beat, but an authority site that has one of it's pages ranking with minimal backlinks, I know I can knock it out of the top spot, whether the competing pages are in the millions or thousands.

Have you looked at other methods of monetization? Adsense is such a passive method and while I know it can be successful, how many sites can you really manage and maintain without automating some of their operation?

[bhuff85]

I've dabbled in all sorts on monetization methods for various websites, but never really took Adsense to its full potential. So, I decided to setup two sites to "expirement" with, and things sort of took off from there. This isn't the entire source of my online income, but I am definitely working on adding more sites to the mix. Once they are setup and ranked on page 1, it's practically "set it and forget it" with a little bit of housekeeping needed here and there.

The point is, the money to be made here is easy cash. My 2 sites (and the others I'm building) are more info-based, rather than salesy web disasters with ads in every corner. These are the exact type of websites that should be monetized with Adsense. If I used anything else, I can almost guarantee the results would be less than stellar, if any at all.

[highrank]

Consistency is one of my biggest problems, it seems as if whenever I see improvement I get knocked down a notch.

I hit $20 from adsense yesterday and then had my website shut down for using too much server capacity!

Now, I have to try and get my website back up before I lose all my rankings.

Consistency is hard.

Hey there, if you were to target "cheap car insurance" niche, would you write 3-5 posts about:

cheap car insurance for students
really cheap car insurance
cheap car insurance company
cheap car insurance for teenagers
cheap car insurance in arizona

Or would you go for:
cheap health insurance
cheap pet insurance
cheap dental insurance

It would probably be best to stick with the overall theme. If you had a basic "cheap insurance" site, then the others would suffice. There is no hard and fast rule to your other long-tail keywords, really. If it brings in some additional long-tail traffic that you wouldn't have had otherwise, it's worth it. Sprinkle in some LSI keywords within your content, and you could find yourself ranking for other keywords unintentionally, too

I know the recipe works! I use it on many sites which I call "Rinse & Repeat" sites. It is a proven strategy for making money and can be really focused on long tail searches effectively.

I'm dabbling now with some other forms of monetization and I'm seeing some initial results but not what I thought they would be. They are better than Adsense at the moment but require much more effort.

How many sites are you planning on running like this? I've struck what I think is my limit (unless I automate).

I hear ya. What are you running into though that is requiring more effort with Adsense monetization, though? Are you having to build more pages or are you investing more time to keep your rankings?

As far as automation, I feel that the only way to really grow and explode your income is to "automate" certain processes or tasks, so I agree with you there. I think that's the key to earning a serious income with something like Adsense.

As a content writer myself, I find it tough to outsource that portion of the work, just because I know what I want and how it should be done. That's why I take care of all of the content myself, but I know at some point I will have to hire that out if I really want to grow at a faster rate, just because the content is what takes the most time (especially on an Amazon review site when you're trying to write unique and intricate 400 to 500 word reviews for 100+ products).

In the end, I think the possible amount of sites you manage depends on how much you feel like managing. I don't think there is a limit, really. There are some folks here who manage 500 or more sites (too much for me), but I'm sure they have a strong team surrounding them to manage something of that size.

Personally, I am working on about 10 more Adsense-based websites at the moment. Just replicating the same system and working to get them to page 1 for their targeted keyword phrases - then it's a little maintenance from there with consistent earnings coming in month after month. I've also got some builds on Amazon-based websites that are taking up a lot of time too. It's all about just getting down and dirty, taking action now to reap the rewards later.

Do you do anything else other than Social Boomarking? I often use ScrapeBox.

Well, right now I'm at about 50 or 60 Adsense based sites and the revenue stream is very nice. The content generation and maintenance is taking way too much time. More to maintain the ranking & the traffic sources.

It became much more than a "build it and forget it" approach.

I've outsourced some of the content writing and the quality wasn't there even though I was paying some pretty good coin.

I love the passive revenue stream though! The cookie-cutter approach works great once you refine your techniques! :-)

I use a good solid mix of a lot of different techniques - social bookmarking, high pr blog comments, article blasts, blog networks and some other linking strategies. I usually start websites out with a specific and certain amount of links from each source, then gradually build from there once I see where it sits in the rankings after a week or so.

I'm not really much of a Scrapebox, Xrumer or SENuke kind of guy. I've had WAY better luck and greater results doing what I do now, as I've ordered various link blasts in the past and they did absolutely nothing to move my ranking up (if anything, it made me drop in the SERP's until I was able to rebuild and get it back up).

Wow - sounds like you've got some sites to manage, eh?

Outsourcing does take some time to find the right people without a doubt! I have also had to jump through quite a few folks before finding some great service providers; however, as I mentioned earlier, I can be quite picky (since I do a lot of stuff myself and know how it should be done). I've managed to develop a decent plan with outsourcing the little things I need at this point and plan to add to that once I develop more websites.

Consistency with adsense bears fruits along with well written content for the website

And as long as consistency is present, success will come your way!

How is it a win-win situation?

It's a passive income that can generate money BUT it is still passive.

And how does it have no cost???? Explain that????

[masterjani]

Currently adsense industry is gaining back a lot of exposure with high CTR rates.It is good to focus that.

I think what they mean is that the barrier of entry is very low (so to speak). You can even start earning money with Adsense via Squidoo, Hubpages or a variety of other similar platforms, utilizing each platforms authority to earn some cash. Of course, I find building my own web properties much more lucrative.

On another note, I managed to crack $20 yesterday with the same two sites. I have another that finally caught a glimpse of the 1st page for it's keyword, but it's near the bottom. Gotta love it

[InTheMaking]

Hey man would love to have you on skype so we can chat. I'm in a similar situation, started my first adsense site May 16th so almost two months ago now and I've hit a high of $87 on my best day with about 8 sites on the first page at the moment.

What I'm good at is finding keywords and ranking them, awful for converting sites (knowing where to place ads/how to optimize on-page for my adsense)

I'm growing ridiculously fast and this would help me out and hopefully help you out even more too. Looking forward to hearing back. Send me a PM if your interested.

Right on! I've noticed some of your benchmarks on a couple other threads as well. Pretty impressive. I'll shoot you a message here shortly.

Since this part does not depend on search count, what will the selected long tail KW be based on? As in on what basis do I pick the long tail KW?

[ale88]

I agree with bhuff.. make money with adsense is a process that requiered consistency, the problem is that people want to earn money with adsense just in a event. (doing a lot of stuff -backlinks- in short period of time, and then leave the blog abandoned)

[bhuff85]

What I mean is that there are no specific "rules" I follow (i.e. if the long-tail only has 480 exact searches monthly or 120, etc). As long as it is related to my main keyword phrase and is something that people would search for, I use it. I do, however, choose other long-tail phrases that have higher search numbers, but only if the keywords make sense (phrases like "how to make money online" are more favorable than "make money legitimate").

With what I'm doing, there is a "set it and forget it" approach to a certain extent, but the key is to be consistent with your build-outs. Then, once you get to a point where you want to continue to grow (yet need to tend to a little maintenance on your older sites), you can outsource everything and really start to build up your empire.

But I agree - setting up a site in minutes and blasting a boatload of links in the same day, only to have it sit there with no activity afterwards will do absolutely nothing. And, it's these same folks who do this stuff that wonder why they haven't earned money online.

Thanks for the clarification bhuff85. One more question - must the long-tail KW contain the main KW in it, or it doesn't matter as long as it's related?

Up to you, really. I usually like to mix things up a bit, but keep everything in relation. Keeping a great overall "theme" within your content in relation to your niche with other LSI keywords has helped me trigger extremely targeted ads. That's how I've been able to get incredibly CTR rates across these sites.

[BarryWheeler]

I just remembered a post I did in early 2009 that may be something similar to what you're doing here bhuff85.

I blogged about something I called Target Niche Development with Strategic SEO and Small Sites.

I suspect we have very similar approaches for our Adsense revenue streams!

Great post Barry! We do have a similar approach, albeit a few differences Glad to see someone else is doing great with Adsense as well.

Thanks.

Yes, Adsense does provide me with some great passive income on several sites. Some are only $x per day, others are $xx per day. One is $xxx per day for 6 months a year (just the niche).

My goal is to allow my wife to retire! I love work too much! LOL!

[abadrj1]

Hi,

Any suggestions for WP Themes that are good for AdSense? I here Clickbump is good.

Thanks.

[admania]

Thanks for the post. You know it really isn't that easy. I have picked out what I thought were great keywords and created around a dozen sites over the past 4 months or so following pretty closely to the steps you mentioned. Most are ranked on page 1 of google and 4 are ranked in the top 3 spots. One site has had over 4,000 impressions, however has probably had around 3 clicks and made one dollar great I hear you say. I made a massive flaw in creating my sites I believe and that was not checking the adsense advertisers and just focusing on the keywords, huge mistake. My sites were nearly all informational sites with very few advertisers hence no relevant adsense ads and no buyers wanting to click my adsense.
I have gone back to the drawing board and I'm now creating sites around solid products which will have relevant adsense content , I wish I hadn't made this mistake when starting out.

Hey admania - sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you the first round. At least you're going back in and giving it another go.

Try to target keywords that have a good advertiser interest. A good key of this is when you do a search for that keyword in Google and see Adwords ads populate on the right side. If you see plenty of ads, it's a go; however, you shouldn't discount a keyword when you don't see any ads immediately. Try and do some more digging and see if it can be profitable with other monetization methods or advertisements rather than just Adsense.

On another note, since the inception of this thread, I'm now hovering around $70 per day with Adsense. Still have a long way to go, but hopefully that shows you that hard work and dedication CAN and DOES pay off when you dive in and work your tail off.

Just keep grinding and you'll get there!

[admania]

Hey there

I appreciate your warm sentiments, it's really refreshing to hear and when you feel like you're beating your head against a brick wall a little encouragement goes a long way. You know I often read some people saying, find one thing , stick with it and it will work. Fleeting from one method to another will get you nowhere. From my own experience I have bought guides and courses and I have followed them to a tee, they didn't work out for me and I believe they probably didn't work for the vast majority who tried them.
I hear the same stuff around and around in my head. I am still persevering but I have put in countless hours of creating keyword research, niche selection, site building, seo etc etc etc. The hardest part for me was to finally get my sites ranked where I wanted them only for the realisation to set in that it wasn't enough, that was a big body blow.
If you can help me out in anyway I'll be eternally grateful. Is it worth picking up your adsense method?. I would love to be able to replicate your success. I currently play online poker and sell second hand books on Amazon. It keeps me away from the world of corporate work but it isn't enough truth be told , if I could just crack adsense then a third income stream would confirm my freedom and life would be just swell.

From my own experience I have bought guides and courses and I have followed them to a tee, they didn't work out for me and I believe they probably didn't work for the vast majority who tried them.
I hear the same stuff around and around in my head. I am still persevering but I have put in countless hours of creating keyword research, niche selection, site building, seo etc etc etc. The hardest part for me was to finally get my sites ranked where I wanted them only for the realisation to set in that it wasn't enough, that was a big body blow.
If you can help me out in anyway I'll be eternally grateful. Is it worth picking up your adsense method?. I would love to be able to replicate your success. I currently play online poker and sell second hand books on Amazon. It keeps me away from the world of corporate work but it isn't enough truth be told , if I could just crack adsense then a third income stream would confirm my freedom and life would be just swell.

The method that I describe in my guide is the exact method that I use (and still use) to this day. The only thing you have to do to make it "work" is to find the right niche and keywords.

Is it right for you? That's honestly your call. If you're jumping from method to method, I would sit down and assess where you're at currently. Then, find a method or model and stick to that (as you mentioned) and go from there.

Like I said though - it does take some practice, but if you work hard enough and REFUSE to give up, you'll learn from your mistakes and can break through the brick wall and make it happen!

Could you give more insight on link building and how do you maintain links... Any tips on that will make my day

Congrats on the increase, it's a step in the right direction, considering the majority of users earn CENTS A YEAR, you are on the right track

I use a variety of things - article distribution, high PR links, social bookmarks, blog comments, etc. Always good to keep the backlink profile diversified. Most of my sites need very little maintenance to keep their rankings once I hit the top 3 (medium to low comp keywords though).

Appreciate it man. It definitely feels good to be nearing the $100 a day mark, and that's just on Adsense and not including my other income streams at this point. As I said, you just gotta put your nose down and grind away.

Takes a lot of work at first with very little reward, but looking back now, I DEFINITELY appreciate alll the effort I've put in thus far, or else I wouldn't be where I was at now

Thanks for the useful tips.

I'm not really good with Adsense. I tried 3 times and they banned me all the time. Last time I got banned; they took my 175$ with my account and I stopped adsense. It is just making headache for me ~.~

I just begin adsense. Thank you for your tips, very helpful.

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for bringing it up.

Nice information.

There is one question I would like to ask. Do you build your backlink with article directories? If yes, do you usually submit those articles(which meant for backlinks) to your website before you submit them to any article directories?
