I built a site that I wanted to put Adsense on a couple of months back or so and I did the keyword research very carefully and I found 26 keywords that advertisers were paying lots of money for, but the competition was not too high. I built the site with some of the keywords, then used the others to do article marketing.

I ended up with about 150 articles out on article directories. My site is, at the time of this writing, is the top four places on Google for the main keyword Tax Debt Knowledge. At least half of my other keywords are in the top 10 on Google.

So......the big question is, why do you think I've made almost nothing on Adsense. Most days a big -0-. I really thought this site would be a big adsense earner, and with tax seaon approaching it may be. Its taxdebtknowledge.com if you want to look.

I would appreaciate any advise from someone who is having success with Adsense. Thanks

    It all has to do with the adsense layout on your site, as well as your sites actual traffic. What kind of traffic is the site getting? Were you trying to make this a static "made-for-adsense" site?

    Did you check what the search volume was for the keywords? For example, "Tax Debt Knowledge" shows absolutely no searches on Google Keyword Tool. Are you getting traffic?

    Also, I don't see any Adsense ads on the site you linked to?

    Im only getting about 18 visitors per day. I looked at the site and the adsense is on there. This is strictly going to be an adsense site. I guess I need some backlinks to help with more traffic. Guess it doesn't matter if you are #1 if no one is looking,

    Thanks to everyone for their advice.

    Target a 2nd related keyword, tax debt relief gets around 1,300 search per month.

    Create new pages with this new keyword & work it into existing pages (internal links with anchor-text).

    Try to hold your current keyword positions, while working on the 2nd keyword/pages.
