Hello. I have a few adsense sites that I pay for in the wf for hire section.

I am trying to build my first adsense site and I open up this new thread to see if you guys can help me through the whole process.

Ok first of all, I used market samurai and google keyword tool
to do my keyword research.

The keyword that I chosed has 9,900 global searches with a cpc of $2.08
exact global searches 720 with a cpc of 0.10 cents

Keep in mind that I am just trying to learn how to build my first adsense site to get my feet wet. I know the cpc is low but again this is for learning purposes only. Once I get the hang of it I will pic a keyword with a better cpc.

Ok moving on, I went into market samurai and put in that keyword and went to keyword analisys. The filter that I used was "the challenge"

Here were my results for my 3 word keyword according to market samuraii:

SEOT 137 PBR 82% SEOC 23,700 AWCPC $8.44 AWV $65.33 SEOV $1153.76

Next I went into seo competition.
Here were the results, I am not going to mention all 10 sites but at least the top 3:

Site 1: Domain Age 10 PR2 Backlinks 18 DMOZ Y Yahoo Y Title N URL N DESC N Head Y

Site 2: Domain Age 3 PR 2 Backlinks 0 DMOZ N Yahoo N Title N URL N DESC N HEAD N

Site 3: Domain Age 15 PR 0 Baclinks 216 DMOZ Y Yahoo Y Title N URL N DESC N HEAD Y


As from what I can see, getting on the top 3 for this keyword should be easy, I think.

I purchased the exact match domain but with a dot net because dot com was taken already.

I installed in on wp yesterday.
Here are the plugins I installed so far:

1. akismet
2. all in one seo pack
3. cbnet ping optimizer
4. contact form 7
5. Google XML Sitemaps
6. Hello Dolly
7. Quick Adsense
8. Seo Easy Optimizer (SEO)
9. SEO Wordpress
10. WP Complete Backup


Ok so this is all I have for now. If you think I should delete any plugins from this list and install another one that you can recommend then please let me know as I am new at this and I want to get the plugins correct.

Ok this is what I have so far.
Now I was thinking about going to WF hire section and looking for a writer.

Also I watched this youtube video which has open up my eyes a little bit about lsi:

My next question is:

Can I build an adsense site with just one page or should I build several pages?

If I need to build more pages, does that mean I need to look for 4 more keywords that I can rank for?

I am confused about LSI? For example, if I decided to build my site for only 1 page, lets says 1000 words article, do I need to look for 4 or 5 lsi keywords to support my main keyword? How many lsi keywords do I need to support my main keyword that I am trying to rank for?
Also according to the video above, the keyword density should be 2.5%, that means if I hire a writer and I wanted a 1,000 word article, it will 1000x 2.5% equals 25 times. That means my main keyword should be in there 25 times which is a 2.5% keyword density, right or wrong? I hope I understood this right?

If that is the case, do I tell my writer the main keyword I am trying to rank for and my other 4 or 5 lsi keywords and he will write the article the way is suppose to be with the proper keyword density or I am suppose to figure all that out with for example a keyword seop optimizer that will show me how to optimize my site?

I am so confused about how to set up my article properly, highlight the main keyword in bold, link the anchor text, highllight the lsi keywords or not?

Anyways I think I am getting way ahead of myself and I need to take one step at a time.

First please let me know about my plugins above.

I have a notebook and will keep track of my progress and learn how to build this the right way.

Thank you for your help and I hope you guys can give me some advice.

      I haven't chosen the theme yet. I am trying to figure out first about the correct plugins and then about the article and lsi keywords. I don't want to get ahead of myself.

      Thanks :O)

        John please do not mess up my thread. I am here looking for advice on learning how to build an adsense site and not about what you think is right and wrong in your eyes. If you have nothing constructive to help me out and building my site, then please jump off this thread and let other warrior who do want to help post their advice in here.

          Sovereignn thank you for your advice in the ctr department and that payout.

          Again if you carefully read my original post, I am not concern about the payout. I only put the information their just to specify my campaign that I am running.

          Like I said before, I am just doing this to get my feet wet and learn how to build a basic adsense site. I don't really care if it barely makes me any money. I am just trying to see if I can ste this up correctly, get on the first position according to the keyword research I did. Once I can accomplish this, then I will focus on targetting a great adsense keyword. but for now this is just a learning process.

          Again, I am looking for someone to help me and guide through this.

          The response I was hoping to get was someone telling me about my plugins first, and then about an article and lsi keywords. I was not looking for an estimated monthly income, never did I say that. The problem is people never read or stick to the main post and they don't understand the questions that are being ask and come up with something off topic.

          Thanks anyways Sovereignn

            You should relax and stop being so hostile or nobody will want to help you.

            I was just giving you a suggestion and trying to help in no way was I implying you're dumb or insulting you.

            For keywords I use two things

            Google XML Sitemap

            All In One SEO

            I then setup my Meta Tags/Title/Description accordingly

            I do not worry about having keywords in my article, I used to but now I realize it isn't a huge deal and most of the time looks pretty fishy.

            I just make sure to put the keywords in the meta tags/keywords and also include them in the alt tag of images

            After I put up the article (usually around 1k words I also write most of my content myself) I will submit my sitemap

            Also if you want Google and other search engines to pick up your data as fast at they can here is a tip that will get your pages pinged instantly

            Go into your wordpress panel

            Settings > Writing

            At the bottom of the page you'll see update services paste this into the box

              I don't understand? So you are saying I shouldn't use my keywords in my article? And also what about the lsi keywords? I thought content was king in google eyes. So all I have to do according to you is put my keyword in the title, meta tag description and write my article, and then sumbit an xml sitemap?

              I have no idea how to write an aricle, I think I will have to outsource that first. Also, you said only 2 plugins, so should I delete all of the others listed above?

              Lets go step by step first so I don't get overwhelmed and lost. remember I am new at this. I have little bit of information about little sections in wordpress so alot of times I won't understand what you are trying to tell me.
              Ok back to the plugins, which ones should I have and which ones should I delete or add.

              Step 1, lol

                I have no idea how to write an aricle, I think I will have to outsource that first. Also, you said only 2 plugins, so should I delete all of the others listed above?

                Lets go step by step first so I don't get overwhelmed and lost. remember I am new at this. I have little bit of information about little sections in wordpress so alot of times I won't understand what you are trying to tell me.
                Ok back to the plugins, which ones should I have and which ones should I delete or add.

                Step 1, lol
                Keep whichever plugins you want it's all preference I was just listing the ones I use

                Honestly, you don't need any of those plug ins. And yes, he's right, you don't need particular keywords in your article. Just write good content. Google judges good content by the amount of links it generates and the social media buzz surrounding it-not by keyword density.

                Also, don't outsource your articles. That would be costly and most of the time you'll get decent articles. Unfortunately, no one will share and link to decent articles.

                Also, read online about basic on page SEO ( if that's what you are referring to in the last paragraph-wasn't really clear what you mean).

    Ive never understood people building a site purely for ads.

    Shouldnt it be the other way round?

    Great content, interested community, THEN maybe put some advertising on there?????

      MFA is good quick easy money thats why.

      launch a site that has maybe 20 keywords targeted, work on anyhting that lands in the top 20 and move on.

    So this keyword only gets 720 exact searches?

    If so you need to pick a new keyword and start over you'll only be getting roughly 16 visitors per day in the #1 spot

    So if you have a CTR of 5% you'll be getting 1 click every 6 days

    With a $2 cpc that means the average click should pay you around $1

    So that averages out to about $5 per month

    Can I build an adsense site with just one page or should I build several pages?
    You should build several pages or google will flag your site as MFA site. This is just suggestions.

    If I need to build more pages, does that mean I need to look for 4 more keywords that I can rank for?
    You can find long tail keyword version of your main keyword which can add few extra traffics. Use google keyword tool or any other keyword tool to find these extra keywords.

    I am so confused about how to set up my article properly, highlight the main keyword in bold, link the anchor text, highllight the lsi keywords or not?
    I say highlight the main keyword and your long tail keyword with link to your other page. I will not mind about lsi keywords for now. You can also use wordpress on page seo plugin to give you score on your article, there is few plugin that can do this for free, i forgot the name.

    Few additional setup, make your site become static site, don't allow comments and provide good contents is the most important, add few contents constantly while you are doing your SEO campaign.

    Hope this helps.

      What is a MFA site? what does MFA stand for?
      What is a static site and why are you recommending me a static site?
      Why shouldn't I outsource the article?
      I think there are some great writers out there that can write a great article based on my keyword and lsi keywords?
      You said that can be expensive, I think a great 700 100% unique article can cost maybe 10 to 15 dollars. So 5 of this articles can add up to 50 to 75 dollars. That is not expensive in my opinion if you are going to have 100% unique article and that google would love, don't you think.
      I even think you can rank on the first page without backlinks if your content is great and also in my example if the top 3 sites have low pr and hardly no backlinks and their site is not on page optimized and has poorly writtten content.
      Anyways that is just my opinion based on what i have learn on WF.

    If your building for AdSense you will need to outsource your article writing sooner or later unless your only working on a handful of sites that are all personal passions. In most cases writing will not be the most effective use of your time. Find a good writer, pay them a fair rate, and scale.

    Good Luck!

    Remember to add unique content regularly, I try to aim for atleast 600 words. Google loves this you will end up ranking for all sorts of phrases based on your subject

    Follow these 3 steps:

    1) Focus on building content first. Many content pages, ~10
    2) Ranking/backlinking that content.
    3) Once traffic starts flowing insert Adsense code. Move Ad code around and adjust its CSS to find optimal CTR.
