Gerald Arno

Hi Warriors,

This 90 day Google Adsense challenge is focused on generating $30,00 per day in Adsense earnings. My name is Gerald and I’m pretty passionate about starting the next challenge for the coming 90 – days here at the Warrior Forum. Let me explain why I decided to open this thread to start a new challenge today…

I already ran a previous challenge for 100 days in which I definitely learned more about how to work with Adsense from the beginning stages. I started with Adsense in January of this year and have been working with it for 4 months already; and it looks like this niche is my passion. To be honest with you, my current Adsense earnings are around $1-$3 per day and as you probably know this is not enough to create a living, but it´s a good start. The objective of this challenge is to make $30 with Adsense per day. That means to multiply my current earnings by at least 10 times on average. Adsense specialists say that it’s more difficult to get 10+ clicks per day building your Adsense Empire from the ground, than it is to make $30 by starting at $1-$3 per day. So let´s see if they’re right.

CHALLENGE PURE : I’m going to keep you up to date (every week) about the progress that we are making with all of our websites. I will also illustrate and present my backlinking strategy for the next 90 days and update this thread accordingly.
Before we start with stating the facts of the sites and other factors such as backlinking, let´s have a look at the calculations: The goal is to make $30 per day, but what is required to make this amount of money? The first thing that we need to consider before we should start with anything is the traffic and clicks we need to generate. Let’s assume that the average click we get when someone clicks on our ad is $0.20. This is just a rough estimate, because it’s impossible to say how much you will get on average as different ads pay different amounts. If we get $0.20 on average per click, we need 150 clicks per day to make $30.00/day. So what does that mean? We need to get a lot of traffic each day, but how much? If we expect an average CTR of 10% (which is realistic based on the theme and site structure) we need 1,500 unique visitors each day to make this amount of money. So much for the math; now we know what we need.

Let’s have a look at the website facts and aspects of the challenge. I´m currently working on one website with around 75 pages, 2 websites with 30 pages, and one website with 22 pages; this means we have a total of 157 pages for this challenge. We need to rank these pages well in order to make any money. I’m using ClickBump themes for 3 websites and a different theme for the last website. Our website(s) are set up in a way that they provide value to the end user, which is the visitor and Google searcher. I really care about the content I put up on my websites and think that this helps me to feel good when I put my head on the pillow each night.

The ads are placed at the top of the content, basically below the H1 tag. But we are using an excerpt because of safety reasons (this means putting a short summary under the H1), so that our websites don’t look like MFA sites (made for Adsense). However, if we are honest for a minute, EVERY website is made for Adsense and Google knows this, although it shouldn’t be too obvious.

What about the on page SEO?

- 2-3% keyword density
- H1, H2, H3 tags with the exact keyword
- Keyword in the first + last sentence
- An image with the alt tag and title set to the keyword
- At least 500 words (usually 600+)
- 1 internal link
- LSI themed content, meaning using related keywords that are congruent with the topic
- MOST IMPORTANTLY is making sure we are providing true and valuable information

What about off page SEO?
Right from the get-go I have to stress that I have tested several tools over the last 8 months; not all of them have been super effective and great for my SEO purposes. You always have to try new things, because if not you will get stuck in a rut. It looks like the tools that specialize on only one strategy like article marketing, video marketing, or blog commenting WORK BEST. But why? Because these tools are specialized on one single strategy and the features of a tool like Scrapebox are so in-depth and complex that no other tool that focuses on more strategies could ever accomplish what the specialized ones accomplish. I’m still running countless tests with Scrapebox and have to say that it´s really awesome and also very reasonable.

I definitely don’t recommend using SENuke. This tool costs around $129.00 per month and focuses on article marketing, RSS feed submission, social bookmarking, and video marketing. However, this tool is not even specialized on one strategy, and you will need more software to do specialized one-strategy techniques like you get with Scrapebox. For the price you would pay for SENuke, you could buy specialized tools for every single strategy. SENuke costs you around $1,548 per year, it’s not cheap.

We are using the following tools for our challenge:

-Scrapebox
-Article Marketing Robot
-Pixel Pipe

That´s it pretty much. As you may already know Pixel Pipe is a free tool which allows you to submit videos and blog updates etc to multiple networks instantly. You can purchase Article Marketing Robot for $97 (a one time fee), and have a tool which is perfected in the areas of article submissions to literally hundreds of article directories.

Scrapebox is the most in-depth tool I´ve seen so far. It allows you to do blog commenting at a pretty high level. You can find everything from PR0, N/A to PR7+ blogs on which to comment on.

We are going to submit one spun article to Robot until all current pages are covered. As you may already know you can use two links in the author resource box, which is what we are going to do. So you could cover 16 links in 2 articles; 8 links to your subpages and main domain. I´ve already submitted some articles, but once I´m through all pages I will start resubmitting again to all pages. We are going to submit multiple articles for one website (covering multiple subpages) with 200 – 400 daily submissions. Not all of the submissions are going to succeed, but some will. Please note that it takes some time for Google to find those links and also not all of the articles will be approved.

What about SrapeBox? Here we are going to create around 400 – 500 daily blog comments to one website covering the main domain and all subpages. We are going to post the comments on auto approved blogs which we already found. This means we are creating around 12,000 – 15,000 low PR blog comments per month to one website.

But how many high PR blog comments are we going to create? We’re going to create around 5 – 20 comments per day to one website.

The last strategy is creating videos. We are taking one spun article and making a video with it using GFX video converter and PixelPipe for the submission. I’m going to submit around 3 – 5 videos per week, per website.
- around 3-5 spun articles per week
- around 400 – 500 blog comments per day (2,800 – 3500 per week)
- around 5-20 high PR blog comments per day (35-140 per week)
- around 3-5 videos to Pixelpipe per week

I hope that you now have an insight about what we are going to face in the next 90 days. I will keep you updated and share the insights and progresses we make in this challenge. By the way, I had my first $8 day in Adsense yesterday. This makes it even clearer to increase the speed in the next 90 days.

Best wishes,

Gerald

Your challenge seems a doable.

I'm not on the article marketing field yet, but I do read some adsense expert says about how google is paying you less the more click you get.

Good luck with your try...

Hey Rian!

Thanks for your comment. First, what I´m doing is certainly not black hat at all. Second how do you define white or black hat?

Here is my explanation to both:

Probably not even 5 search engine optimization specialists or online marketers use white hat SEO techniques. But why? Well, white hat SEO would be appropriate if you would create your website´s content and other people would backlink to your site. Period. This is white hat, but who has the honor that endless people are creating backlinks to ones site? nobody does thats the reality.

You guys who are doing SEO are all at the very least grey hat (some might be blackhat). You are creating backlinks to your website and increasing importance by yourself, and you are not receiving importance from others.

You can define this however you want. There might be different levels of grey hat. I agree to that. But it doesn´t matter if you are a 4 out of 10 or a 6 out of 10 because you are building backlinks by yourself, so you are grey hat and certainly not white hat.

Black hat is definitely keyword stuffing, manipulating rankings by getting other websites banned and/or deindexed - using manipulating codes or whatever. This is entirely black hat.

Hope this helps!

Thank for great ideas Gerald,my blog just starting earning 80 cents a day but sometime 2.00$ ,initially what what can i say about my earning is concern on google dance.

Gerald Arno

Thats why we are here. Those strategies should definitely help you to improve rankings and clicks too.

Peace,

Gerald

Gerald Arno

You are welcome my friend! Continues changees in rankings of our website is something that is unavoidable. Google changes it´s criteria on how to determine the importance of a website regularly, and this is the main reason why rankings will always change no matter what your keyword or niche.

Google dance happens to a new website that needs to find establishment of a position first.

SEO is exciting and fun at the same time!

This challenge will be interesting, however, I will not be able to participate in it. Mainly due to the fact that we are doing a client lead push right now as well as a contest for a client. Although I am very interested in your results, so I will be subscribed to this thread to see what your results are. Thanks a lot for doing this type of research, it really helps those of us that cannot do this at this time.

If anyone is interested in the client contest that I am doing, please PM me.

Thanks man. I will keep updating this challenge at least once per week. Enjoy!

Damn easy! just create some hubpages,squidoo lenses, write for revenue sharing sites, use revenue sharing forums.

create around 250 hubpages and 100 squidoo lenses they should be high quality articles. write for revenue sharing sites with high traffic.
and you can cross this limit.

Gerald Arno

Hy,

sounds like a great idea! It could be another way to create passive income for the long term.

Anyway, creating a few hundred pages takes at least a few months for most people. You need to write a lot and than gete this stuff ranked which takes time as well.

Peace,

Gerald

Hey Gerald,

Sud.L here.
I went to your blog to read your update.
Many interesting things I found there:
1. You outrun your initial per day target.
2. Your site get sandboxed.
3. A guy named Matt you mentioned.
4. A plan to buy links.

I like to ask you these:
1. What *did* (not theoritically speaking) you do to get your out of the G's sandbox.
2. Who is Matt anyway? What is his role in this plan?
3. How much your upfront spendings until this day to keep your plan going?

Thank for the thread and the update as well.

Hope you see your result as expected!
Regards,
Sud.L

Gerald Arno

1) The site is still ****ed. We didn´t get it out of the sandbox yet, but we are confident that it will be out there.

2) Matt is my SEO partner. Pretty awesome and skilled guy!

3) That varies a lot. I purchased quite a few tools to even have the chance to make money with this business model. You usually buy a few tools at once and than use them for some time. But there are also some monthly payments like for hosting, proxies, spinnets etc.

A goal is a goal. The goal is to make $30/day, and I will give the best everyday to reach that.

Lets see how it goes.

Article to video converter? So what you get is somewhat of a slideshow?

Need a website? Check this step-by-step guide on making a website with WordPress

Gerald Arno

Thats correct. You get some kind of a power point presentation (slideshow). Converting articles into videos goes within 5 minutes included uploading them. Those links are not really valuable, but a good addition to a well balanced linking structure.
