    I make quite a lot via Adsense on YouTube videos.
    Google updates never affected that and it has been working for me since YouTube began.
    Have you tried that?

        You can create videos of your own to avoid those copyright violations. You cannot simply download a video from somewhere and post it at youtube.

        To create a youtube video is not a very tough work to do. Use Animoto.com is a very good website through which you can create videos by adding some good pictures and background music.

    hi,
    i think you are on a good way - start monetizing more. do not just put all your eggs in one basket, meaning on adwords. add reviews about clickbank products you know.
    do you have a newsletter list? because if not, i´d highly recommend that because that actually helps to expand your business.
    how often do you add content?

        Well, if you can blog more ;-) I know it's hard but it's so worth it. I tried 5 posts per day and the results were amazing. But honestly, I couldn't stick to it since I cannot do any other work then. Still, if you'd post once per day that would already make your results come up faster.
        Make it your goal to monetize each and every post. Sure we want to give value to our visitors, no question about that. But, if you just offer them a link and no sales pitch there is nothing wrong with including some affiliate links IMHO
        In the end, that is how we make money without taking it from our audience.
        I think updating your site more frequently is the best way to grow your business. Also, add more than "just" text - podcast, video, slideshows, all that and more is content and much more fun for the readers to read :-)

    Keep on blogging and grow your audience. This will let you gain more followers along the way and improve your income. If you have done it before, you should be able to do it again and even better. Failure only comes to those who quit.

    Blogging takes a long time to pull in good results. You need to keep producing quality content, even if no one is reading them at the moment. I would try and stick with blogging, but if you really want to move onto something else then you could make an Amazon review site perhaps? There's loads of info on reviews sites on here, just use the search function

    Good luck!

      Everything I do online now is to
      build my email list.

      Offer some valuable content to your visitors
      in exchange for their email.

      This way you are building a business that will not be
      affected when google decides to drop another update/turd.

      Learn about list building/email marketing/sales funnels.

      The fact that you have had blogs working for
      2 years and been earning you an income,
      suggests that your content has value in your visitors eyes.

      Move on from google and you will never look back.

    Instead of selling your customers to adsense for a penny a click, try and sell a product of your own, if you are making $150 at pennies a click right now, try and get a dime from them, then your at $1500.00.

    Have you considered adding your own retail website? Possibly with products from a dropshipper?

    I agree with RogueOne, what is hard about creating your own videos? Oh, you mean you have to do a little bit of work to create them. That's not actually 'hard' is it. Hard is going through 'the fire' to achieve something most people never will. Hard is trying to invent something and going through 100 designs to get to the one that works. Creating basic videos is not hard.

    blogging takes consistency to produce results.and from your tone you look like you want fast results and that's okay

    You can start doing you tube videos because they get you first page rankings fast
    that's a free method
    but for really fast results,you may have to take the paid advertising route and go into affiliate marketing

    Since you are really good at blogging, your best bet is to do a guest blog on a popular website, and put in links for CPA offers. That should help you get going.

    A blog is a platform.

    From there, you can do one or a combination of many things.

    1) Services
    2) Advertising
    3) Affiliate Marketing
    4) Physical Products

    ...and, the list goes on and on....

    I wouldn't limit yourself to just adsense.

    EDIT: It sounds like TRAFFIC is the major issue here. Why not explore other methods to generate traffic?

    You are only using Adsense? Try affiliate marketing, text links ads, offering your own service, and CPA offers. Your site is not built for making a lot of money.

    It is better to keep only one good blog and write long blog posts with useful information. You should try to drive traffic to your blog through all existent free methods if you cannot spend money with ads. You need a lot of traffic to make money with a blog.

    I think its time you change your strategy. You already have enough experience building a blog and getting some traffic to it, now move it up to another level. Stop using the blog as a means of making money, rather start using it as a means to get you traffic to offers and products you are selling.

    In short, create or promote quality products to people visiting your blog. It's easier than you think because you have already cracked the hard part of getting people to your blogs.

    Here's a good strategy you can use to get more traffic and works great for me. If you have a twitter account (which you should) try and find the trending topics from your followers. Find a new popular article on that subject. Then write the headline in as a new blog post with a paragraph or two explaining what the article is about and have a link below it that says click here for official article. Then Tweet your headline linking back to your site, you get a lot of quality backlinks and if you have an interesting site people will look around and hopfully click an ad.

    Very few people can blog well, though everyone is trying to blog. If you were earning any money at all before, then it's possible this is your best niche to work in. Go back to blogging. I know it's easy to get discouraged when faced with adversities like this. But if you stick to publishing your content, you will get visitors. Get on Facebook and Twitter and talk to people about your niche and blog and let you know you are saying good things over there. Be excited and enthusiastic about your blog. Don't be afraid to ask others to visit your blog. This is what it's going to take to start earning money again.

    Does your blog generate organic traffic already.

    if yes, create a free report and place it on your website.

    Create an opt in form and collect emails in exchange of your site.

    Then use autoresponder to email your next product to them.

    The key here is relevancy. All your reports and follow up products must be relevant and useful for your readers.

    So you use blackhat SEO and complain that your sites drop in rankings. You violate people's property and complain that your YouTube account is axed. What next? Rob a bank and complain that they call the police?
