Just bought my domain and going to setup wordpress and get ideas to get content going.

I forgot to apply for an adsense account. Of all the things! hehehe.

So far

1) Set up wordpress, took me soo long
2) Put up an intro article with keywords

[DELETED]

I had another website that is ranked high for a good keyword. Get about 400 uniques/month.

I just placed my adsense on there. I hope my rank is not effected.

Site #1
Write one article by the end of today.

I understand your position on the small achievable goal. I would say though that it may be a little too low, but you need to do what works for you and what you are comfortable with.

I am following XFactor's method. I've done a bunch of keyword research, bought a couple domains, installed WP on them, and then hit a snag with the template (which I finally got sorted out last night). I haven't been able to put much time in lately due to some personal commitments, but I have worked on one of the blogs that happens to be in a niche that I really like. I took that site from purchasing the domain, to being indexed on page one for the main keyword with 4400 monthly searches and making $1/day in under 2 weeks. If Ezine would stop being so slow to approve articles, I could get the darn thing from position 8-10 up to the top 5 and be doing much better.

This is why I think your goal is a little low. Yes it is very achievable, but maybe setting it a little higher would give you more of a drive to get things going. Not that I don't think you will. You sound motivated and I wish you the best of luck. I will be following your progress.

Patrick

Thank you very much for the feedback guys. I have been working on it off and on.

I am going to add one article from an article directory to fill it with some good content.

Bluesense is now implemented.

Now the important part:
Unique content creation.

Hamburglar,
You are certainly on the right track and I want to place my bet that you will succeed.
It is taking EzineArticles about 2 weeks to get my articles approved, but I just keep putting them in the queue.
I have also submitted some to ArticleBase, GoArticles and ArticleAlley. Have had 2 day turn around from ArticleBase.
I have 4 sites up now based on John's ebook. My keywords are bouncing around on page 1 and 2 of Google. Mine are not blogs they are basic HTML built with Dreamweaver. I do have a blog that is doing pretty good with adsense but I find that I'm more of a static site person than a blog person, so I probably won't do another one that way. It is just a personal preference. Nothing wrong with making your money with a blog.
If you keep at it you WILL do better than your $1 a month goal.
I look forward to enjoying your success with you. Please keep posting your success to this thread.

I will follow your thread and hope fully you will get there which I know you can easily achieve. Actaully you putin your expectations to low. You could have aim for at least 3.00 dollars a month and then go on. this way you will be more active in fullfuling the Dream.
I am helping a friend build her adsense empire and I put my clickbank links on her site and she is making at least 60.00 per month on one site. She started last year though.

so good luck and all the best..

Thanks
Shellaine

Wow,

I greatly appreciate the support from you guys. I am truly moved. On one site I was selling leads from. So far today I have had 40 impressions on my sites.

Static site: I fought about that a lot and wanted to start a static site but the flexibility to make it expand is a feature I want. My next site, will be for a super niche product static page.

I am just trying to face my insecurity about writing. I always have trouble writing anything. Writing 300 words of valuable content seems like a huge burden. So far this is turning into an amazing adventure where I am facing my fears.

So thanks guys.

Back to work for me.

Just submitted an article to Ezine. Took me an hour to write a good 260 word article.

All in due time I will get there.

I used the timebox method ajparker. Thank you for sharing that.

Good to c u determined...I am also going to start building my niche websites from this weekend..

P.S CONTENT IS KING.

[DELETED]

The 2 day mark!

I made it this far. Normally I give up when I don't see results fast, but this is a long-term commitment. So since no clicks so far, the only thing I can control is promotions and content.

I am going to launch a new site in a niche and based off a different strategy. Just testing to see how far it gets me.

[DELETED]

Today was a complete write-off due to catching a cold.

So in the midst of being drunk of benedryl, I read the posts above. In order for this project to succeed I need to get good content and lots of it.

More content = More market reach. Good Content = Better ranking and conversion. It is that simple.

Success!!!

I earned my first dollar. I was feeling hopeless but got it:

Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM [?] Earnings
AdSense for Content top channels 45 4 8.89% $28.35 $1.28

Next Goal: Aim to reach $4.

Its an uphill battle one dollar at a time.

Congratulations on your reach of your first step...

I am searching through yahoo answers to find out what makes my market tick.

I have just created one new article wohoo! A total of 2 articles on my website.

My adsense for today is $.16

I also am developing another niche website related to travel. It is a bit competitive but with good content I can become dominating.

I have outsourced the articles approx about 20. I have set up 10 categories and aim to get at least 60 articles by the end of the month.

Thank you guys. I have never profoundly inspired by any discussion in the forum, like Iam in here. I feel that I am so lucky to find this place. And in particular, I like to thanks Hamburglar for posting his journal to Adsense success, I hope all the best for you. I've been wanting to do the same path myself. Ideas loaded my head, but no single real step taken. About couple days ago, I found some very interesting fact. I was googling using one of my niche keyword, and I stunned by the fact that no.1 website is still using .blogspot.com as its domain name. I went into research for this blog, and found out that, nothing really special had been taken, except that he had hanging around for more than 2 years, and more than 20,000 website linkback to his.

I realized that time, I must do something -now or never-, coz this one is so easy to follow. No need my own hosting, no need domain. Just stick with blogspot and its monetize tab. So i started to pitch several domain name in blogspot. And I plan to make more in other different niche (to make sure, nobody gotten it 1st). Now all i need to do is to write the content, and make some link building effort all together.

Inspired more by Hamburglar' journal, I think, my baby step will start today. If only, I wish, I have faster internet connection.

I have been very sick as of late, so there are no updates except that my current site has earned me $2.68 so far this month. Past the 50% goal to $4.

The only thing is that my conversion rate is sitting at 4% or lower. Gotta find ways to increase that.

I finally feel better, after one week in lying around in bed.

My sites are up and getting a lot of traffic but no conversion into clicks so far.

Account is sitting at $2.68 this month. Bahumbug. Time to pump out more juicy content.

Update:

I have reached my goal of $4!! Yay! I am actually $5.16 something. This is exciting. I am $5 richer yay!

The key concept to making this prosper is having content. Moreover just not any content, having content that provides VALUE to the end user. That is what ultimately people want.

Just got my 20 articles for my other niche and its now time to put them to good use.

I am just not too sure about bluesense, comes of too spammy. I will have to look for other WP themes.

Congrats! I too am about to launch my own Adsense campaign, and was also considering using Wordpress as the CMS instead of static html.

Be sure to let us know if you find a better layout or template! If I find one that converts well I'll be sure to pass it on.

Back again; I was recommended (by a fellow Warrior) this free layout for Wordpress; it's supposedly based off of a recent "heat map" study done by Google for their Adsense.

Adsense and Ads Ready WordPress Theme - HeatMap Theme

Time to amp my goals:

I wanna aim for the $10 mark by the end of this month. I am half way there.

I just downloaded the Heatmap theme, perhaps a better choice, we will see. Wish you lots of luck!

I greatly appreciate all the above posters sending me their support.

I also cannot believe internetmarketer, Xfactor and Steve Crooks followed this thread.

Definitely means a lot.

[DELETED]

In the past 2 weeks, I have gone from excited to calm to dead. Dead in the sense of trying to push through the downtimes.

I have gotten around $6 now in my adsense and am working towards more. I bought MNF and started 3 more sites to play around with.

I am now facing what the other 98% IM's get stuck in. (Fear, procrastination etc...) On one end, deep down inside I feel I can do this. But when I see slow results I get dejected from moving forward. The risk of failing or I would like to call fear of failing. I see this everywhere and with everyone. Some people on this forum can admit to this bravely and some cannot. The point is that fear of failing does exist. Failing in the measurement of monetary value. The dreams we get sold about auto-pilot money making etc...

Here's the catch to get through this. JUST PUSH THROUGH. You will fail. Its part of life. But no matter what you have to keep going. Anything I have done has never panned out the way it should. But in hindsight, I needed to go through them to learn a better way. Yea yea, I know you think this is all jazzed up and what not, but trust me on this. You just have to push through it.

I am in the midst of my low state right now. Nothing is working, trying to make something out of nothing, staying positive and burning out. It happens.
Deep down I know this will work, I just have to be patience. Things always balance out.

So I hope this post gives you some insight on what you will face. Nothing is done within a day, watch any Tony Robbins video and you will see that things take time. Heck it took him 10 years I think or so.

My friends don't let the fear control you, I hope this post helps you push through your fears as it is mine.

Regards.

"I have an informative niche that has at least 3000 search's a month. "

Just a quick question... How do you get the data to make these determinations? I am an 'ideal generator' type. I got involved with a nudge from FK and have sat down and drawn up about 10 ideas that I think have potential... I need a little advice in the market research front.

I am going to bounce back.

The recent purchase of MNF has got my mind going in all directions. I am expanding my network of sites from 2 to 5 in the coming weeks. I have 2 active sites and working on a 3rd one.

However, I am a bit confused as to how to use and understand MNF. I guess this will be trial and error ways. I have been reading threads and have come to a basic understanding on how to determine an amazing keyword.

Hope this works out. Time to keep pushing forward.

Thanks Burg!

Looking for the TY button...?!?!

I got site #3 launched.

I have bought 3 backlinks and submitted the paged to digg. I am in the process of working on site #4. Site #5 will be my test from Xfactors book, I will purchase it this weekend.

I am avging about $.5 a day. I am on the right track but I have to build more and higher ranking sites. So far all traffic is coming from site, which I feel uneasy about.

Two most important element I have learnt.

1) Keyword research is crucial. Prior to MNF I chose keywords which I thought were easy to rank high in, well I guess I was proven wrong. I am waiting for the one month mark to see how well the sites do.

2) Tracking. I have kept no track of each project. So tomorrow morning I am going to write down exactly what made me do those niches and what results I get.

Hope this helps others.

hello
I have just joined this forum. Quite new to online earning/adsense . trying to earn since last year my account just reached 8$. quite frustrated .can anyone help me step by step .

will be greatful

here's a list of informations you want to know ...guidelines and utilities

Google Adsense Tips and Tools Collection | SEO Consultant

Hey Kamlajoshi,

Here are some other great resources.
XFactor's (John):
http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...s-learned.html

Internetmarketer99's (Mark):
http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...w-adsense.html

Another you might want a look at is Steve Crook's:
http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...hs-1-blog.html

So I am excited. I earned another $1 today. I am at $8 this month.

Now I just have to get my other 2 sites to rank high and I will start developing my hunch for adsense sites.

This is exciting.

That's great Hamburglar. Just keep building.

Goal #2 reached. I have officially earned $10 this month from Google Adsense.

This is amazing. At first I started with $1 then moved my way up. My perspective has changed on adsense sites, I thought they were just fluff. Well most of them are, that I see anyways because they do not provide unique valuable content. For any adsense site to work, I am learning that I have write write write and write some more. I use to hate writing but now I actually like it.

Now to revamp my goals.

Next goal: $15.

If anyone has questions or requires help, feel free to post them.

As i've said all along, the time is now to make money with adsense. It's almost TO easy once you've done the keyword research. Congrats Hamburglar!

I have a quick question.

I am using the great XFactor Adsense method, started Labor day, doing one site a week. Seems to be working.

I am looking at a niche Keyword phrase. .net .com are taken, but it looks like a great phrase. .com is parked, .net i pathetic site, nothing over PR 2 on page 1. what do you think about .biz, .us domains?

Thanks a bunch all

Seb

Hey,

I am also using Xfactors course now. I personally do not like using .biz or .us rather .net or .com

Have you looked at .org?

What a great to push yourself toward the road of success....

One tip:

Find subjects about the new ways people are using to create traffic to their websites. May be you'll find new tips that are useful.

Kevin

I have about 5 site brewing in google.

2 of them are pre MNF, one is with MNF and the remaining 2 are using Xfactors guidance.

Only 2 sites of the above have broken the google SERP in the 100's. No where near the top but I hope it will change.

An important element of ranking high in google is backlinks. Not just any backlinks but quality backlinks. I personally have only known to buy backlinks from TLA or digitalpoint. Coming on this forum I have been exposed to article marketing, squidoo, and other a billion methods that I am overwhelmed.

I honestly have no idea how to build good backlinks. I tried Angela's method but I honestly do not see the value in it. The websites they provide do have HIGH PR but that is only for the main page. Not the page where your link is displayed. This is just my opinion. I tried Angela's and I think its no value for me. Could be proven otherwise.

There are so many services and methods that one could get lost. So I am going to just concentrate on what I know and write great content.

This a lot more hard work than someone would first assume. Its a good kind of hard work. No hard work = No success.

I am for now going to wait and see the google dance for these sites because I want to see some form of SERP jump around before I start building new sites. This way I can test the numbers from MNF and link building strategies employed.

But most importantly, I want to build my GUT feeling on SEO. I thought I knew what it was but definitely this form has shaken that up

You've got exactly the right idea. AdSense is a slow build any way you cut it, but it's great once you get it going. If you double every two months, you'll be getting a check every month in no time.

Hey Hamburglar,

Congrats on your success so far. I assume you're using a similar template to X-Factor. If not, I highly recommend that you do as increase in CTR could easily be the difference between $1 per day and $5 or $10 per day.

Chris

Way to go Hamburglar.....
Just keep track your game plan, it a good start...
When your there lets us know!
Goodluck!

I almost never click on this discussion group.. But I am glad I did today. There are some free resources that are available to help you on your way to Adsense success.

Scott Standke? offers a niche a day and includes key word lists that you can use. It is a free service with some niches that are quite unique.

Also Daily Niche Idea is another site that gives you free complet niches with clickbank products and articles, header, etc. Of course this info goes to her entire list each day..But you would be surprised at how many people don't act on their dreams.

Just some food for thought. There are a lot of Warriors who also offer Niches and ideas for fre..

I am so inspired by the words in this thread. Great determination produces Great Result... Just keep at it. Success is at the end of the road.

[DELETED]

So site #3 that was MNF and Xfactor is on the first page. Position #7.

Now I will monitor the results from this site and see the true value of the keyword. Should be interesting to see the results.

With regards to finding niches, just look around you. If you're sitting in your living room or kitchen theres potentially lost of niches you can target. Just type something that you see arounf you in G AdWords tool or MNF and just take it from there. Some of them may be great niches, some of them may not but thats how you will find something.

Scott Standke (Niche A Day) service is pretty good as he gives you ideas but if thousands of people are getting his emails then surely the market will get saturated, no? Its still a pretty good starting point to get your creative juices going.

Good luck....now take action!

Some great progress.

Site #3 from Xfactor's course has already gotten searched and clicked on. The rate for yesterday was exactly 33% just as he describes in his book. Now this is not a proper test because its only with one day of data.

site #4 just got indexed and is at position #70. It will rise during the week.

Site #1 and site #2 are duds. I was working on my hunches about the keyword and competition and definitely missed the mark. This was prior to MNF and XFactor.

Very exciting results.

great post! Happy to see the progress for Hamburglar, really inspires me a lot.

I would like to know two questions:

1. how do you get the number of backlinks to a site? Is it also included in the SEO Plugin for Firefox?

2. How long will it normally take for google to index a new website in your 5 sites?

Thanks in advance.

Just launched another site.

It has 5 words as the keywords and has LSV exact of 6000. I hope it ranks well once it gets indexed.

Time to build some backlinks.!

Thank you hamburglar for your answers, now i know how to count the links of a specific site.

And another quick one. how many backlinks in the serps would you consider too much competition and let the keyword go?

Thanks.

I just found another site that is in my niche and has the same keyword I am going for.

I wrote the content and already did the SEO and I just saw the other site. I am definitely not thrilled about this and feel bad. I want to take my site down out of respect but I have invested a lot of time into it. I guess we will see who goes to the top.

In the same sense I have found 10000 similar adsense sites. Not exactly with xfactors theme but other stuff. I just have to change my layout of the site and I will rock the SEO.

Gotta keep moving.

I found 2 sites this morning using John's template for 2 KWPs I want to target. This makes me excited (not sad), because I know a 1st page listing is coming for me.

Kind of funny how some of us gravitate towards certain items.

With reagrds to people who want to make a quick buck, unless you have patience, don't expect much. Your loss is someone else's gain.

Just a quick story I want to share with you all. I registered a domain just under a year ago, put a 500 word article and put up a rubbish looking adsense 468*60 banner there. In the last few days, it seems like this 1 page site has come alive, it has ABSOLUTELY no backlinks whatsoever and is ranking on Page 2 of Google Global and UK, this is a VERY competitive market and keyword, the only thing that it has is age and the fact that the keyword phrase is in the domain. Its getting a few clicks per day and earning me a few $$$s but the fact that it has come into the serps for a site with no backlinks is astounding!

Now had I developed this (which I couldnt due to other sites being developed) I couldve made a killing. However, the moral of the story is patience is a virtue. Keep building today for tommorow, it will take time, but it will happen if you put the time in. Im not sure about John's (XFactor's) model, but my sites that are targetted (but not highly) targetted, tend to mature after about 10-12 months and this is when they show potential and rankings start to stable.

Keep at it guys and the money will start to roll in.

Good luck

hard work always pays off, just work hard.

Thank you guys for your kind answers!

There are other programs out there and Ive never really bothered with them to be honest. Somehow I doub't they'll have the volume of advertisers that AdWords has and the CPC rates. I'm just thinking from an advertisers point of view as well, if I wanted to spend my budget, it would be on Google since I can get a lot more targetted traffic. However saaying that, I do remember that Overture/Yahoo did seem to convert better but the volume just wasn't there!

Man, this thread is so amazing.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE POSITIVE VIBES HERE.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Seriously. When I get down, I always come back here and read.

I recently got dishearten due to seeing other people in my niche ( in their eyes I am in their niche hehehe) I feel really bad for overtaking them because they are trying to do the same as me. Man. But I have come so far. Very interesting feelings I get.

But anywho, so far so good. Going to do a 500 directory submission on 5 of my sites soon. Hopefully that helps.

Some fellow member maybe have an experiment ?
Is there any simple wordpress template similar to xfactor- xsitepro template.?

Yeah, we should hold our pace. I remember John once said his 300 bucks/day came from his 30 or 40 sites, and he built those sites in the length of 6 month.

That's about 5 sites each month, I really should hold my excitement and work on each site(not just register them.)haha.

Cheers.

I now have a pool of 4 sites from Xfactor. It is very hard to work on them when you are busy doing other jobs to pay the bills. But at the same time you must keep working at them.

I got my plan laid out for tonight. Submit 1 article for each site.

[DELETED]

great idea , most of the people think on earning big big amount from the starting , they dont yet have live websites and they dream of big money .. to start with 1 and 2 $ earnings is also a big task..

Hamburglar, how you getting on? Any news on your sites? I think you'll find that lots of us are intrigued with your thread!

:-)

Thanks for the update, I appreciate that you had to take the time out to write all that.

Like yourself I'm also busy with other things, I have other AdSense sites that do ok-ish so its quite tough doing Johns course. I launched a site the other day, and it still hasnt been indexed yet (although there was a previous install of WordPress on there which is showing up).

Just added another page and about to submit to EZA and 2 to GoArticles. Im testing Johns method to the letter to see how effective it is. How long did it take you to develop your template?

The only thing that I have changed slightly is that I'm making my About, Contact and Privacy Pages all nofollow so no PR (if it ever gets any) is passed onto these pages so it can be retained on the content pages, not sure if this will be beneficial but lets wait and see.

Don't worry abotu the earnings, it'll happen, when you searched on MNF, did you carry out eh search for Google CA? Sorry I;m not questionning your intelligence but its something that can easily be overseen. Did you run an OCI on these keywords, I know its more affiliate marketing but it will still give you an insight into the buying power of the keyword. Are the ads that show up on the high ranking pages relevant? You need to try and see if you can maximise the site that is already ranking high as this shoudl be the site makign you money. Just give them time, you'll start making money.

Well done for writing articles, just do it regularly and you'll see yoru work pay off.

I'll let you kno whow I get on too.

All the best
Zaheer

Appoloies for the typos, didnt get a chance to spell check that.... :-)

I think it's great to track progress like this. I set out many times to generate $100/day from one website then quickly realized the problems that involves! I found it much easier to set up 25 websites that make $2-$5 a day than 1 site making $100 a day due to the different traffic milestones you have to reach. I found it easier to get to the 200-500 hits a day range on many websites than the 20,000 hits a day range on one site.

Nevertheless, great stuff, keep rocking and good luck!

-Safe Travels!

I am proud of myself tonight.

Wrote 2 articles.
Submitted one to Goarticles and the other to buzzle.

My account on ezine is frozen because I have reached my submission limit. Now its in for review. It takes so long to articles in ezine. I had one article in there for review for about 2 weeks. The slow process definitely halts the ranking progress.

I like Goarticles and buzzle. The submission is right away. It could be for the bad because its not monitored but I have nothing else to loose.

Update on the $$$
Today I made $1.36. Yay! I actually made $1 today.

Thoughts and new projects:

I have created about a pool of 5 keywords. All have amazing exact searches. From 6000 - 27 000.

The next sites I create will vary in design and structure. Everyone seems to be copying John's layout and quiet frankly it might catch google's eye. I know its all about information but call me a consipracy theorist, I think it might be negative as more and more get into Xfactor's course. Multiple his product a 1000's of same site.

Not only that, it does not help differentiate the design. I am going to get a new design tomorrow with the same concept but more appealing to the eye.

Ok, I will updates my sites.

I have 5 sites, and two of them are using john's method. one of the domains was registered in Oct.2, the other is Oct.4.

I have written 5 articles for the first one(one article each day), now the key word is appearing on the first page(No.9). But only that page is indexed in google.

I earned my 50 cents on Oct.5 from visiters coming from SB sites, and that is all I earned.

The second site I only wrote the home page, so far not indexed yet.

After 5 nights work, It is a little bit tired writing articles and submit them.

And a quick question for Ham, how did you manage your one-way backlink? how did you get all those PR 4 5 sites? Any secrets?

Thanks.

Trying out a new technique for backlinks. I am going to try some link exchanges with site #4 and see how well it ranks for the keywords.

In regards to my high PR links, there is no strategy. I outright buy them. However I do have a procedure to assess how quality they are because some people just buy old pr domains and resell the links on ****ty sites.

[DELETED]

My only problem with adsense is putting in too much effort for little reward...once you get your site to rank you used hours upon hours of time and maybe only get like $8.00 out of the deal.

I'm no longer going for the instant traffic with articles to get adsense traffic anymore, because they take alot of effort and they are spikey and then die down. So if your site isn't pulling you may have just through away an article, however with the consistent flow of traffic from a search engine you don't have to worry about that you can get to the front page and just work on your ctr, which is what makes your plan of action good.

This is a brilliant thread. I would love to know how it's going for you now. Best of luck to you.

To rank high for your keyword ensure that your domain has your exact KW and NOTHING else.

I had bought a domain name ( for site #2) and it read keywordphrasereview.com. I added the word review. In my testing so far, it has not made it to the first page.

However, if you search "keyword phrase review" my site will come #1 in google even though I do not ever use the word REVIEW in my copy. I think this is a major breakthrough, for me at least, to rank high in google.

My competitor site (another xfactor site) is ranking on the first page with links form link farm where as my site has one way pr 4 and pr 5 links. On top it also has ezine and go articles whereas the other does not.

The reason I can conclude this is because the competition site is running on the same premise as I am and hence the only difference is in ranking, age and links. I have more quality links while he has more links. He has about 1 month/1.5 months on my domain. It just got indexed 2 weeks.

Maybe I am jumping the gun, but nonetheless I can have some weak conclusions

On the positive side, that same site is grabbing many pother unique keywords. It brings in about 10 unique a day. Very interesting.

My adsense has been $1 yesterday and today. I hope it stays this consistent for the rest of the month.

Will update soon.

Just launched my 5th site. Working on the 6th site.

Site #1 and site #4 are ranking on the first page. 2nd and 3rd are no where near the first page. I just have to spread in as many niches I can and drop the sites that do not rank well.

Simple enough equation to follow.

Good sharing with newbie and all warriors

This thread is really inspire to others who really want to earn money online.

To get any success in Adsense, you have to be super patience... I have a blog which I posted a few posts now and then, without any other effort on SEO, promotion, etc. It generated quite a bit of $$$ from it.

Then once you get one generating some $$$ for you, move on to setup more, especially if you dun have too much traffic. LT works quite well with Adsense..

I appreciate all the love I get on this thread.

One thing for certain is that Adsense is a huge mental game. I wrote about this many times but I never thought it would be this challenging. Trying to stay positive and motivated is hard to do. Like Xfactor mentions, this is the most uncertain business model. You really have no idea or control over you earnings. In a drop of a second, everything can change.

So I just launched another site and will spend this week, SEO'ing.

Total Xfactor sites: 6
Earnings: $5 so far.

I have read post/threads about how some make $20-$50/day within two months. I am finding that very hard to believe as I am following the process and getting low results. To be fair, I have only started this one month ago.

Anywho, back to writing more articles.

Hamburglar,

Keep it up mate, you're doing a cracking job and educating a lot of us, even those of us who've been in the game a while. Its a time thing as well, once your sites have a bit of history just watch, they'll come alive!

Also, how long did it take your sites to get indexed?

Are your sites static or Wordpress based?

Thanks

Zaheer

Thank you very much Nettech,

Normally my websites get indexed within one week. Also I am using a static design rather than wordpress.

Kingside, how many pages on average do you have per site?

[DELETED]

Just Launched my 7th site.

Getting the content together is getting very easy. Takes me about 30-50min to write up a page.

I am also now writing content for the first page only and if the site ranks high I go further.

My concept is this: launch many site as possible, SEO the crap out of them. Keep the ones that work.

Its that simple.

So I am focusing on Volume of sites I have in my portfolio now.

wow

I just have to share this.

Today's Earning: $5.28


$5 in one day!! I think this is just for today but nonetheless amazing. I cannot believe my eyes.

Just Launched my 8th site.

Really tired. Hopefully I can launch 2 more tomorrow and get my portfolio to 10. Then its all just SEO the crap outta them.

Congrats on the $5.00 day!

[DELETED]

What do you mean by "SEO the crap out of them" ?

The course you are following suggests just submitting articles to ezinearticles and goarticles, no other seo or linking involved.

Most of my sites are ranking in the top 30 just because of the domain name, nothing else. Then after about 5 article submissions to EZA, I can usually get on the first page.

[DELETED]

Yeah patience is the key to success. People just start expecting a lot after making a website and adding google adsense.

I've just found another website similar to mine on first page of Google obviously built using John's method. That website was made one month after mine.

I don't know if I should be angry or what... But at least I had a good laugh when I saw that title, in addition to keyword phrase, contains "Click here first!".

Now, isn't that just pathetic?

Not only is that sound business, BUT, i don't think it really matters IMO if you put ads on sooner or later. Just my own personal testing.

Oh dear, seems like Google has wised up....hmmmm maybe time to change the approach...lol

Hey hamburglar and others, I met a huge problem and would like to hear what's your opinion on this.


I found it is quite easy to get the main keyword(the one used in the domain name) indexed on the first page by google in just one week, but for other sub keywords, it is rather difficult for them to show in the first page(those pages or posts are indexed, but surely not in the first 100)

Is there any difference of using john's method to different keywords?Did you guys met the same problem I did?

Many thanks.

I have something interesting happening. I am targeting a 3 word keyphrase, let's say "word1 word2 word3", and my domain name is "word1 word2 word3 guide.com". After a couple of weeks I'm ranked in around position 32 for my 3 word phrase, but for "word1 word2" I'm ranked at 8! Really interesting.

Just finished writing 10 articles today.

I am getting the hang of writing articles. It is actually really fun.

Also. I reached my $15 mark!!! WOOOT!!!!

Revised Goal: Reach $20 in a month now.

Currently I am at $17.24 in my adsense account for october.

Really exciting. I am not in the $100/day yet but I am going one step at a time.

Guide to writing articles - 'Burg Style

People don't like writing articles. Well not all but a very few selected. As mentioned over and over again, to succeed in google Adsense you need CONTENT and LOTS of it. So for the people who struggle at writing articles I have created this guide for you. I also hate writing articles....used to hate. I never did well in english school etc... but now I love it. Here is how.

1) Pick a topic

Choose something you love and of interest. Go to ezine and find an article that stands out to you. Ensure the topic resonates with your soul.

2) Click on the article

3) Copy and paste the article in a word document.

4) Read the first paragraph and write it back in your own words. Read it out loud, then write down whatever you understand. Your perception will always be different and have its own twist.

5) Rinse and Repeat.

This is exactly what I do, word for word. I rewrite the first paragraph and by the end of it, my mind is already flowing with content. By the end of my 50th word, I lead into topics of my interest and come up with a killer 400 - 500 word article.

The hard part about article writing is NOT KNOWING what to write. SO FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU DO KNOW ABOUT AND WRITE.

I can now crank out at least 2 rough drafts in an hour.

Hope this helps you guys.

Sounds like you're chugging along.

I tend to write a couple articles a day on average. Each new site of mine gets a couple articles and that's it until I see it moving.

[DELETED]

Best way to go, is to try and create a huge mega site and rank as many pages in your site on google.
To make over $100.00 + a day with Adsense your going to need some huge numbers to pull it off . I figure maybe 150,000 hits a month.
Traffic is the key.....lots of traffic.
I think it's far easier to sell a product of your own online.....but I wish you all the best.

hamburglar,
If you really want to shine for a per day average - do this:

research some keywords for the christmas holiday season. Find a keyword/domain name combo that is regularly searched for, but one that you know you can rank for.

Develop that site out and do some backlinking. Now, reap the rewards

I've got 3 halloween sites pulling in bank this year. 1 of them was 2 years established, and the other 2 were created AFTER last years halloween.

I always tell people - create a site for something that people will search for. "how to" "how do i" "find" etc

Just got back in from NYC.

My earnings right now are stuck at $1/day. I thought by now, with 10 websites, I sure would reach $5 - $10/day as others have with xfactors method. I still have yet to see this. I have followed his guide except for the part about writing sub content pages. So maybe that is my missing link.

This week I am going to spend time creating 5 sub pages for each site and monitor my income growth.

whoaah! I really like your discipline and the efforts you've put to reach your goals. It's really interesting and fun reading this thread.. thank you that you've started this.. Brings a whiff of inspiration to me.. 10 sites? nice.. nice..

Hambuglar: Do you have site with e.g. cordlesskeyboardreviews.com that rank high for keyword cordless keyboard? or do you have site with e.g. cordless-keyboard-reviews.com and still rank high?

I feel your pain Hamburglar. After reading John's thread I set out to make $100/day. I have 18 websites built, but I'm still averaging around $2/day. I went a little too fast in the beginning. I'm slowly figuring out which ones rank better and why. Having that many sites to tweak helps me figure out so many details that I never would've thought about.

I admire your honesty and work ethic. I learned that only through failure can we make great leaps forward. I used to spend hours trying to build 1 page because I didn't know HTML or CSS and had a ton of problems basically trying copy and paste my content into pre-made templates. When I completely messed up an 8 page website to point where it wouldn't work at all I forced myself to learn HTML. Now I make pages in minutes totally from scratch.

It's all a process. My only goal is to keep learning. Money will follow later, hopefully. Thanks for letting us know there are other people in the same boat.

Don't be afraid to take on a more competitive niche. Micro niches are great, but you do hit a wall at some point where your need to create new pages of content and get backlinks is overwhelming. A Page 2 ranking for a more competitive keyword with higher search volume often pulls more traffic than a high Page 1 ranking for a long-tail keyword.

Whichever path you choose, the key is maintenance. Keep adding content and never stop building links with good anchor text. You'll get there, as long as the keywords you targeted have enough traffic potential. Some don't pan out. Believe me, I've been there many times.

Thanks for this thread, hamburglar.

John

Thank you guys for the support.

I have realized that for any of my sites to rank high I NEED GOOD BACKLINKS. So I have broadened my backlink campaigns. I strictly used articles and now am switching to TLJ(thelinkjuicer). I am in the test phase to see what works and what doesn't.

Out of my 10 sites, I only have 4 sites that rank in the top 20. the other 6 are indexed but nowhere to be found. That puzzles me because I have thoroughly checked the competition and they have very low SOC. Once again, you never know what the big G is up to hahaha.

Also, 8 of my sites only have one page of content. I am refocusing quality subpage content. I have developed a list of 10 more keywords to launch my sites this month.

Yesterday I earned $4.55!!

So my goals Thus far:

Month of October: $46.77
Month of September: $13.66

I only started the Xactor stuff at the end of September, so it does work. BUT YOU NEED TO DO A LOT OF WORK. Its not simple set it and forget it. At least for now.

It requires a lot of work.

Time to keep pushing

In addition to the usual keyword research, I also use the SEO for Firefox plugin and look at the sites on the first page. If they are between PR 1-3 then worth optimising for. If there are a lot of PR4+ then I generally wont bother or try to take another angle.

Good thread Hamburglar
Zaheer

Great Idea .thx

[DELETED]

man i agree with you at this point, just start with a lower expectation,then you will never feel disappointed
good luck

I have 10 sites launched and am earning around $1/day.

I hope to increase this by the end of this month. I am trying to find various ways of building backlinks but realized I am moving away from xfactors book. Now I am trying to focus on what Xfactor said.

Should be a fun ride.

I just created a new design based on Xfactor's concept. It looks 10X better and is converting around 20-50%. Its only been one week though, so I will see how this template works in the long run.

Just wrote up 6 articles.

I am getting too lazy with this. The time is now to move faster and harder.

Man,

Feeling a bit burnt. Working on the sites and articles. This is a very long and tough battle. I have to keep reminding myself to have patience. I am earning $2/day (taking a look at my last couple of days).

I focused last week too much on people that were making $50 from a couple of sites. I have to realize that their work has nothing to do with mine. And I will get what I earn in due time. I just have to stay focused.

Adsense is also a personal development game, if you guys have not noticed. Hehehe.

How many words do you have in your one page sites? I have 300 words for my one page site but I am unsure if I need to add more info.

Good work guys- yeap action is the key get them up get them some promotion, and keep moving, focus on solutions to challenges, like time, writing etc- and Go for it!

I am also following johns advice......

The thing you have to ask yourself is if it's worth it, writing and making numerous sites for $20-$50 per month?

I haven't seen ONE person say they are earning $5/day from each site, like Xfactor claims you should be making.

Suspicious? There's reason to be.

Either he's not telling everything like it is, or perhaps he's not telling it like it really is.

I've read many accounts of people using his method verbatim and still not seeing anything close to $5/day per site.

I spent a good time reading this thread and it is truley an inspiration

Wow,

Love the conversation that is happening.

I am also looking into High paying CPC low comp keywords. I have 2 sites that are carrying my adsense. The others have a 1% CTR which is kinda scary.

@euhlir: I understand your concern. Trust me I do. But I have one site that earns $3-4/daily. The only problem/challenge is that my other 9 dont. hehehehehehhahaha.

Now if I can only multiply that site.

Guys for this month I am avg $3/day. wooot! Slowly getting up there.

I am working on this new template and it has yielded me the best CTR so far. Its at 50%. The clicks are very low paying though. Its been up for 3 days so far.

Lets go guy's we can accomplish $100/day.

Remember:
Provide Quality and you will get Quality Money!

For the record, we're doing the Adsense thing too.

Took parts from here and there and a little tweak here and a little tweak there (here a tweak, there a tweak, every where a tweak tweak.. can you tell I have 5 little kidlets?

We don't have an option for this working or not... hence, do or die marketing. A self-proclaimed guru marketer from the UK cheated us out of $18K at the end of September... that stung.

Onward and upward. My partner is the calculator guy. He made predictions as to what we have to do to achieve X (whatever X is at that moment.) He's been exactly, spot on since the beginning. And that has helped us TREMENDOUSLY in figuring out what we have to do to get to where we want to be.

We started on September 24, the day that self-righteous, self-proclaimed information marketing guru stiffed us out of $18K.

Content + Products + Persistence = Money


We'll get there. We will.

man! you warriors really raised the bar just about to go bed thinking how the **ll am i suppost to get adsense clicks as its been bugging me for weeks now and i am glad i have bookedmarked this post

heres my problem, my site is sat at page one at the very top out of 44 million other websites however im just getting 1,5,6 clicks a day if possibile and i have a ctr of 1.43% so far form last month have only made £1.98 or in dollars thats $3 i think not too sure on exchange rate, some days i have been on the top of google yet no traffic, so frustrating however my other site is on bing page 1 also and yahoo page one 7 down but no were to be seen on google.

I have been very slow at link building and blog comment also to make it look natural,have checked my keywords and there very low competition, sorted out my meta tags and headers,footers ect,

would really like some advice to them people here who are saying im making $5 a day or 100 a day as i must be missing out on something,

also i have some good pr blog comments and high directory submits on my site to plug traffic but when i do a backlink check i dont see the pr or links, how long does it take google to realise my pages have pr links

andy

Don't get me wrong Adsense is a viable way to make money. There are just so many people following Xfactor's method exactly and then wondering why they aren't making $5/site.

With the amount of work that you'd have to do with xfactor's method it just doesn't seem to pay off well for those who follow it exactly. There are easier ways to get great backlinks than writing 15-20 articles per site.

If you look for ways to improve on his system then it may be worth it, but always think about the time you're investing and the payment you're receiving.

If you have no problem spending 8-10 hours on a site to earn $7/month and having to keep it updated with fresh articles then that's your decision. You could write 1 article for a client and earn that in 15 minutes.

@euhlir


One of my sites is officially making .

So to everyone thinks that it doesn't work, it does

IT JUST TAKES TIME and persistence.

My first day that I hit $7!!! yay!

The new theme works wonders.

Congrats hamburglar.

There's no doubt Adsense does pay off, coming from someone also making money from it everyday.

How many niche sites are you up to now?

I have 12.

yourself?

3 years ago my arcade site got linked by a couple of big sites on Halloween for my game Mario Halloween and made 40 dollars in one day at about .05 cents a click, so it is very possible.
Is there a template I can use that looks somewhat like your new theme?

Nice.

I have 3 that would be classified as niche sites.

Well done Hamburglar, its nice to see you slowly and surely achieving your target. One of my sites just jumped up from position 10, then was sitting at 7 and now has jumped up to 6th woo hoooo and I can see how much of a difference it makes.

Hey Simon,

It is excellent to read your progress.

My progress thus far has been good. I hit $10/day with one of my sites.

I now have a pool of 20 sites. I am concentrating on building those up now. Add more content pages, get better backlinks. There is not point in building more if these are not generating revenue.

One more thing.

1 site that generated good revenue got delisted/banned whatever. I think I know why and am very upset about this. My content was great. There were 2 other Xfactor type sites. They also got delisted.

But this other guy COPIED my site word for word. Even the domain was mine except pluralized. WTF!!!

So now I have changed up my templates and how my content is displayed/written. If google got me then its just a matter of time until they get the others. So for the next little while, I am focusing on building kick ass 20 niche sites that are much MORE than just simple product reviews.

@Zinc

Google wouldn't ban a website just for it's layout. Google only wants the best sites to show up in its rankings so if you're site offers no value to a visitor, or is spammy, then yes there is a chance of it getting deindexed.

If your site offers valuable content to a visitor then it will likely stick, if google ever does a manual review.

^^^^

that is sheer gold and very much needed right now.

I am following johns formula as well, but like spoken above- I am focusing on things I can control, like the building of the site.

These plans work well for me:

1.Saturday- brain storm 2 niches for week
2. Tuesday night- build first site (am using wordpress)
3. Wed night build second site

I the hand them to to an outsourcer to build the promotion articles, and keep moving.

At the early stages (the first month) I check my adsense every few days, but dont worry too much about ranking- more to focus on moving forward, rather than looking at the flowers ($)

All of the sites are making something- small at the moment- I expect google to jump up and down with them.(been around with SEO for a while...its all part of the process)

My main reason for outsourcing was so that I keep consistantly moving- we have all been there get tired- lose interest and not keep moving.

I asked willie crawford at a live event if he could sum up success online in one word- the answer was momentum....donald trump uses same word.

I believe its the challenges that come up, its how we solve them amd move forward- no excuses, just keep moving......make mistakes (I have a lot of usesless domains)...just keep moving an improve while in motion.........

Oh and keep focus.........

Hey guys,
Just an idea- maybe (if your interested) getting together on mastermind group via skype to talk about what is working in this strategy - (not the niches)

I great to network with those that are "doing"- thoughts?

What a great discussion. After 206 impressions and 4 clicks, I earned $2.39. The most difficult task is to get visitors ? I'm stuck.

Hey Guy's,

Awesome Idea about the skype.

Sorry about not posting for a while. Insanely busy at work.

PM me over the skype ID's if you guys want.

I was reading clickbump's thread and now it has disappeared.

Anyone know what happened?

Hi dude, thanks for supporting my finding, hope to listen more comments from the crowd out there.

Simon

If they deleted your thread just so other members could make money selling your information then this forum has truly taken a turn for the worst.

Why would they delete such a great thread with tons of info unless they don't want us to have it for free?

Keep us updated clickbump.

You should repost the thread on the other popular forum, I highly doubt they will delete it.

4 week evaluation for a 4 exact keyword phrase is too short of a time. it takes time to get good ranking. we all just have to be patient!

Grab the cached version
My first $100 dollar day on Xfactor method site:warriorforum.com

I have just launched 3 new sites that with incorporating the information that clickbump had on his thread. I was trying to find the thread but I couldn't.

Here is what he said.
1) Search a Niche like a mad man
2) Find anything above 2500 Exact matches
3) Green light = if there are at least 3 PR 0 or PR -(n/a) sites in the top 10.
4) Buy KMD, if .org or .net taken then go to step 6.
5) Move on.

Simple and concise. I hope I did not miss anything.

Will post my results based on clickbumps method.

Yeah, you missed step 6

Oh I did,

I meant step 5.

yea I just launched 5 sites with the clickbump method I will repost with my results as well

Try google-your-rank dot com (can't post links cuz i dont have 15 posts yet heh) fancy little tool that will save your time on finding your site keyword rankings. I have kind of a different, my own approach, because I am testing a new system which can supposedly make your site appear on 10 or even dozen keywords on Google page 1.

I won't tell you the name for now until I verify it myself, all I can say it is not black-hat, and so far I got google page 1 for 2 keywords and google page 2 for another 2 phrases with only 13 or 14 articles submited. If I manage to get top 3-4 rankings i'll let you know.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Hope you achieve your goal soon.

Great post and realistic goals...

I"m making around $20/day, and trying to increase to $50/day....

Hey Scott,

Would love it if it were posted in an area. I am still waiting for the results of your technique. One thing that I am most concerned with is that I have around 25 sites launched and am only doing $5/day. It has been that way since I had 10 sites. 20 are indexed and about 15 are in top 20.

The target of reaching $50/day or $100/day seems almost impossible from where I am.

I am now spending a crazy amount of time researching niche's. If I take my time with the niche's then hopefully everything will fall in place.

Another thing, is Xfactor forum worth the $30? Anything of value that I cannot find here?

Question for Clickbump or anyone else that knows.

Sometimes when I research a niche there may only be 1 or 2 pr0 domains in the top ten, but when I look at the results the other pages that are higher pr are not even optimized for that term.

Like lets say the keyword is Ivory soap.

The 2 pr0 domains will be titled Ivory soap and be optimized for that exact term but the others are saying stuff like soap or dish soap and stuff like that and I think the only reason they are in top 10 is because they are high pr and have 1 of the keywords.

Would it be possible to break into these kind of niches?

Or should I just move on when there are not 3 pr0/- domains?

"Find anything above 2500 Exact matches"

so we want 2500+ or more exact matches? I'm not understanding this. I thought the lesser the better?

I have a formula that may help some. Let me know if your interested.

yeah please share pavionjsl, what cha got?

what exact phrase matches and SOC are you guys looking or have noticed produced better niches? Is there a rule of thumb for some ratio to look for, or what #'s to look for?

For instance:
Global search: 5,400 Exact Phrase match: 26,300 SOC: 46
I'm ranked #37 for my main keyword (first niche i did...only made $0.03 in 2 weeks) probably a bad niche to get into. Fighting against page rank 2, 3, + for this niche.

Global search: 1,300 Exact phrase: 8490 SOC:20
I thought this niche looked juicy. I'm not even ranked for my keyword at all. out of 600 results. There's a lot of pr 0, 1 & 2 on the first 10 listings. What am I doing wrong?

GS: 4,400 EPM: 16,800 SOC: 9
Ranked around 250 for main keyword (took 2 weeks)
A couple of unranked and pr 0 on 1st page....I thought this looked great...

Are my metrics off? any suggestions are appreciated.

How To make 15K a month at AdSense
here's how it's done:

Start with keyword lists from adsenseheaven dot com which guesstimates the most expensive keywords to bid on in the PPC AdWords side of the Google ad world. I generally ignore the top 1000, as they are very competitive and saturated. I am not concerned with the top payouts.

Store this data every month in a mySQL database with the previous months data, and over time I am able to see which phrases are consistently in the lists and unlikely to disappear. I call them long term performers.

Cross check each phrase with the number of pages currently indexed in google, to see how much competition there is for a each key phrase. It's usually easier to land a top 10 first page SERP position if there is less competition for the phrase.

Also cross check each phrase with google trends data which has an RSS feed which is also collected and stored in a seperate SQL database hourly. If an adsenseheaven keyphrase is found to appear in my Google trends history database, it's flagged as hot. If there's less than a million indexed pages it's further flagged as a top candidate for a dedicated microsite armada.

Once a month after the new list is released analyze the data after it's been processed and I pick a shortlist of hot key phrases that I am going to ramp up over the next few weeks.

For this lesson the phrase selected is '**** Berry'.

The estimated cost for the top position according to the adsense heaven list is $19, and it also appears multiple times in my Google trends history data. That means It Will probably going to make at least $5 for each AdSense click, and there's a lot of people searching for it.

Head over your favorite registrar and find a domain name which contains the keyword at the beginning of the domain. Contrary to popular belief, the gTLD is irrelevant. I find that .info works just as well as a .com with all things otherwise equal.

Get the new domain's DNS setup, and your webserver configured. Install your favorite Open Source CMS into the Docroot and pick a nice template which looks clean. Avoid dark colored themes. Make a nice graphic for your site logo position which contains your root keyword. (yes googlebots can read keywords with OCR in your site logo images).

You now have the framework for your microsite, and a place to put your articles.
Now we're going to mine long tail keywords for the selected phrase to use as subjects of my microsite subpages based on the root keyphrase. I use a couple different places for this, a good one for noobs is freekeywords.wordtracker.com. Then input the root phrase '**** Berry' and save the top 50 results into a text file. For this example we will limit to the top 5 after the root.

Quote:
**** Berry at Wordtracker
7,401 searches (top 100 only)
Searches Keyword
4679 **** berry <- ignored, it's the root phrase
371 **** berries <- variant of root phase
238 **** berry supreme 1
220 **** berry information 2
181 **** berry research 3
149 **** berry juice 4
125 **** berry diet 5

You can use however many you want. The more you have, the bigger your site will be, and the more expensive it will be to ramp up.

I outsource most of my article writing to Justin at No Doubt Marketing. I pay them around $8 for each original article, and they are not scraped together garbage. I order 1 article for each long tail keyphrase. In 12-24 hours they'll begin arriving in a steady stream to my inbox. It's not uncommon to have 25-50 articles for your project. Your goal is to build a site which contains everything someone would ever want to know about your root keyword. It's also not uncommon for me to have $500-$1000 into each microsite by the time it's done. But, I make that back in two days.

There are lots of other article writing services out there, and there is a lot of grey area. Some are more readable than others, and the general rule is you get what you pay for. I spent a few months testing all the top ghostwriters who advertised their services on digitalpoint, and some are very bad. I do not use scraped articles or spun articles from aggregation sites like ezinearticles.

Now you have some original high quality meat for your microsite which is truly original content and is highly targetted for each long tail keyphrase. Create a content item on your CMS for each one, putting the longtail phrase in a H1 tag, the Title, and the Meta description. Do not make the title and meta description identical or the latter will be ignored. Insert the article, and do your html markup to split it into paragraphs, and add floating divs for your google adsense and CPA offers.

Over the course of the next few weeks, repeat this process as your longtail articles arrive. By the third week you will have a pretty large site which is very useful and informative. It doesn't read like it was written by robots.

At the same time, you work on link building. I will look at who is already ranking for the keyphrases I am looking to rank for, and I will attempt to contact each of the webmasters. It's easy to do a whois lookup on a domain (firefox has a plugin to do it from serp pages) and fire off an email to them. If they have a working phone number listed (they are required to) give them a call. I have a vonage account so I get unlimited long distance. I also have a telemarketing background so I am good at cold calling webmasters and socially engineering them into adding links.

You will mostly get voicemails, so leave a nice message which is very brief and explains you have a relevant website which wants to become link partners. When you get the webmaster on the phone live, tell him how great their website is, how you added a link to it on your blogroll, and how it would help their rankings to link to your related site which is full of good content.
Some people will tell you to go screw yourself, so you just move on. There are going to be hundreds of thousands of other sites to contact, so don't spend too much time with each one. I will ask them for their AIM handles so I can keep track of them. (did I mention I create a new AIM/Gmail for each new microsite?)

There are lots of other ways to get links. I've tried most of them, and they all work. You can donate money to open source organizations which have a 'thank you' page. Most of them will include a link if your donation is over a certain threshhold. Check for nofollows and disallows in the robots.txt first.

You can do a google blog search for your keyword and post an on topic comment which contains a single link to your homepage. Most places will leave your comment in the moderation cue forever, but others will publish it. You have a better chance of your comment getting published if your comment contains the keywords they are trying to rank for. Blog owners don't want comments that throw their keyword density off.

You can search for forum posts using google which contain your keyword in the title tags and post a useful something into the thread. Don't just spam your URL or clearly it's going to get removed. It's also a good idea to make a few posts in other threads before you do any link dropping so you don't have 1 post when you do it

There is roughly 260 million websites which will give you a free blog. Create a new one everyday somewhere new and make a couple posts about your keyphrases. You can take snippits out of your articles and rewrite them into blog posts, or even purchase some of that 'low quality' filler articles I spoke of earlier and use that for your free blogs. Be sure to choose good anchors when linking to your main moneysite.

The bottom line is get as many links as you can, and spread them out as far apart as you can. You don't want to get too many links in a day or it will appear unnatural. So take your time, and work a little bit on each microsite every day. Try to make sure every microsite gets at least one quality inlink every single day from somewhere.

One final observation: The longer a Google AdSense unit has been deployed, the more it's worth. Some of my top performing units are several years old. I think after a certain time they're internally flagged and start to show the top paying ads.

This guy makes a solid 15000 a month, but in the later part of the discussion it becomes clear.

1. Keyword research

2. Content - Good stuff not crap

3. SEO site correctly

$. The usual rinse and repeat

so you don't pay attention to SOC or Exact Phrase Count in MNF?

I thought it was one of the best written guides ever. Guy does 15000 a month for real. Lot of work, and investment in time and money.

Tell you all something else, it is mind blowing what you get here as a member........spend the 37.00 bucks......

i just found a great niche, but has only 6 advertisers (in spyfu)...is that enough for ad support, or move on to the next niche? i know it should be 15-20 ideally...

Even though I did register here about a year ago I never gave the site enough attention. *hic* Now I know better. Go on we are with you all the way...

I am getting way too caught up in not making any $$ recently. Surely I thought I would be hitting at least $20/day. I have 25 websites indexed and yet only make $5/day as I did since the end of last month. Moving on to the next site is becoming difficult because you never have any idea of how well it will rank.

Anyone else encounter this or is it just me?

THis is a vvery nice goal you have here. Keep up the work. Dont give up!

HI Hamburglar, dont give up yet, you have just started since 1 month back and making $5 per day is already good enough, do you know that the folks out there even not able to make $0.05 per day.
My 0.02 is, you should continue to build backlink and get your site rank well, i am pretty sure that not more than 10 out of your 25 are in the first page? You should stop building new one and optimize the SERP.

I just build a blog to record my road to adsense success journey, i will never give up until i hit $100 per day. If the folks out there are able to make it, why dont us!

Keep it rolling dude, please!

This is my first website -> josspamDOTblogspotDOTcom - What tips would you give to make it bigger and make some profit of it.

I have it for quiet a while now but just begingin to think of getting something of it.

Jocy

HI Josspam, this thread is all talking about the xfactors method with micro niche site. You may need to post your question to other thread unless you want to join us with xfactor course here.

Simon

Hey guys,

Thank you very much for the support. I am not going to Give Up. I can't! been too long.

I took Gazd's advice and made notes on my current domains. I am going to concentrate on SERP and building backlinks. Any page that is not in top 20 will be forgotten.

Gonna make a list of good sites Tonight.

Hamburglar,

You might want to take a step back and look at why you're selecting the KWPs you do. Perhaps you should increase your minimums as far as searches and cash go. Also, take a little time and think about the KWP before jumping into it. Is it something people really want (buyers)? Is the KWP a whole KWP or in reality a part of another.

An example of this might be "coffee maker." Seems nice, but if people are really searching for "Brand X coffee maker" and "espresso coffee maker" and "coffee maker filters" and "coffee maker recipes" or whatever, then that KWP is far too broad and will actually have money issues. You may even have a #1 listing, but since the listing isn't targeted to what the searcher wants, it's #2 who will get the most clicks.

Here's a personal example. This week I spent roughly 20 hours (so far) researching for 2-3 site possibilities. Sure I could have spent an hour and came up with 10 "insert product here" or "insert info here" sites that I could rank for and had a decent amount of searches, but I don't build sites just because I can.

I took all those lower level KWPs that met my previous minimum criteria for searches/cpc/SEOC (or SOC) and filed em away and keep moving on. Instead I'm looking for KWPs that meet my new increased criteria. Yes, it can take a little longer to find them, but they are there.

I guess the point is this: rather than stopping your research and jumping in the pool when you hit a KWP that "works," spend more time looking for a bigger piece of gold that you can carry.

If you're going to build say 3 sites in a week, reserve your buying/building until later in the week. Spend the first 2-3 days of the week doing crazy research to find the KWPs with the highest search/$$ to ranking ratio (that look solid from a buying standpoint) and roll with those.

I'm going through almost the same problems. I'm building up more websites - but my income remains the same.... And that's kinda frustrating.

I like to think that everything will be fine after some time. I don't know... Maybe we are supposed to go through that. Anyway, failure is not an option for me. I will earn at least 50$ a day this time next year. I will work hard - but I'll get there.

Hamburglar,

My 2 cents would be to have a look at where the money is coming from - From john (xfactors) course he didnt just build 1 site in a market, but where he saw cash- he build more for the same market eg: "Puppy toys" site makes money- build another for "black puppy toys" -

At the same time- dont spend too long in "analysis mode" - can slow your momentum- just relize that johns course is about "throwing mud at the wall" and seeing whats sticks....some will take time and what you are feeling is normal.....

Let me know if still up for Skype mastermind group: skype id: digitalawol

i hope you are still remember that i have 2 domains with 4 word phrase with "the" and "store" at the front and back of the keyword.

Submitted 11 articles (5 different article directories) and did 10 angela backlinks for each of them, still no where to be found

Hope to get some advice from the expert here.

Ad sense is called traffic business if you can bring traffic on your site you will get success

I have 3 sites that were ranked now POOF it's gone...I know it's the google dance thang, but do you guys have any recommendations what I should do to make sure to get the ranking back again?

[DELETED]

Truewarrior,
Its noraml (almosted expected) - New content appears in the index- ranks, because it is new- the settles back down to nowhere.....

Build backlinks, keep going, -No Gurantees......But action is the cure, and expect this happen again and again....age is they only cure.....all part of the game and understanding how it works..............

Dont expect stability till around the year make........sorry no quick million dollars here..........

Hi sarasayshi, thanks for reminding me again Appreciate that.

Yesterday, i hit the highest adsense that i have ever earned, $17.8 in a single day Almost every sites had 1 click and even article submitted to directories to also generate the clicks, although the sites are in the page 3 onwards and even no where to be found I love article marketing (articleblast is my favourite)

Simon

Hey Guys,

Simon. That is excellent. Wohoo!!1 My highest has been $11.68 yesterday.

A bit of sad news: one of my sites got de-indexed. It was on page one and now when you search "site:domainname.com" it does not exist.

I do not know how to recover from the de-index.

SIMON!! WOOOHOOOO!!

Hi hamburglar

I am reading internetmarketer99's,and your forums. I have not finished all responses from your thread.

In the mean while i am researching a keyword which has the following

From Google Keyword Tool
LSV 3,600 and Global 2,400

From Google Traffic Tool

Estimated Avg. CPC : $1.41 - $2.03
Estimated Cost / Day : $1 - $2

Competition
first page one PR4 at 4th position
rest are below 4.
wikipedia at first position for few keywords in main keywords

Do you consider this keyword.

I am going to use this as an experiment to learn how things are going.

thank you for your great response in Lightning speed. It is a actually a type of product. Shall I PM you more details on that?

I am just validating myself whether my keyword selections research is going in a right direction or not. I will check spyfu now for more information.

I finished reading ClickBumps thread yesterday only. So now started researching on keywords.

I have already done big mistakes on my websites without reading valuable information here. So i do not wish to repeat any more.

Hi further updates as you advised me.
The cost per click is $0.58 - $1.81 in SpyFu for my keywords.

For getting a rough estimate for CPC I use Spyfu and take the average amount (find it in the little graph on the right of the screen, hover your mouse over the middle area of the graph and it will show the current and historic average). I take that and multiply by 20%, I've found that gets me pretty close to my actual per click averages, so I feel that's a realistic number to use. Google's amounts are way off, same with MNF.

Great thread Hamburglar - Thanks!!

Robbie

[DELETED]

Today is going to be the highest earning day ever for me.

I just hit $12.

I have not used MNF for my last 5 sites. 3 of them are on page one and raking in some good money.

I am using ClickBump's method of at least 3 pr 0's and also combination of inanchor, intitle and inurl.

My design: have gone 100% away from xfactor now. I loved his design as a starting point but now have a new template that converts 50 - 66%. Don't quote me just yet. I am waiting for at least 1000 impressions on that design to conclude properly.

Gotta keep pushing. I almost gave up this weekend. Patience and Persistence is key for this.

Stay focussed. That is the real key and do not follow all the rabbits that cross your path.

I used clickbump's method, and every site I registered in the past week made it in the first page. No Micro Niche Finder or Market Samurai used.

I definitely say stick with clickbump's method.

what's your update hamburglar? I'm hoping you went up another tier!

Can someone tell me that if I create a wordpress blog with adsense ads on it and then optimize the heck out of it good keywords will this be a good venture?

This is inspiring. I never thought that any one would have this courage and humility to post like this.. Good job!

I would love to get track about your experience.. Don't forget to create videos about your performance because those videos can be used as products once you've started creating a "HOW TO MAKE MONEY" video series :-)

So an update:

On saturday I hit my highest earning ever!
$27!!!

It is very inspiring that I went that high. I wish I could do that every day. Overtime I will.

The cool thing is that I have not built any backlinks to my site, I am planning on building some backlinks this weekend.

My avg earnings for this month is $14/day.

Great hamburglar

How many sites do you have now

I have about 25 websites.

Only about 15 are ranking high. I have my 6th sense for keywords fine tuned. Also finding new niche's is very easy.

Just finding the ones with good CTR is hard.

Congratulations on your progress hambrglar. This thread is very inspiring as I am attempting to build a steady income with adsense also. I have 4 sites, all with the keywords in the domain. Each has 20 articles pointing back to them, and have been social bookmarked at 20 sites, not to mention blog posting. However, None of my sites show up in any google serps.

I am not a pro at web design so I use a wysiwyg editor to design my sites. Does this have a major impact on SEO? could this be my problem?:confused:

If so do you have any pointers. Any advise would be appreciated...

In one of the niches that I am concentrating on the amount of monthly searches is 5400 with an SOC of 12. The exact phrase count according to MNF is 7800. Google has 460,000 pages for the keywords that I am targeting. I have submitted 10 articles to ezines for this site, (6 have been approved), 5 to goarticles, and 5 to articlebiz. I have bookmarked to 20 sites, and about 7 or 8 blog comments.

I am really kind of lost as to what to do next because all of my sites pretty much meet the same criteria as this one, I always focus on building sites with an SOC of less than 20 (preferably 15) some are as low as 4, and exact phrase match of less than 10,000 (one of my sites has an exact phrase match of only 736 and the SOC is only 2!) but I am still not ranking for these keywords but the domain name I purchased has 5 words in it, is that too many?:confused:

I can't help but think that the problem may be in the site design/on page SEO. I have read that using a wysiwyg design can be bad because of the overuse of tables. The three sites that I am working on are only two weeks old though. I am just wondering if anyone has any tips?

Should I change the software that I am using? (I use coffeecup), build more backlinks? ect. Thanks alot....

[DELETED]

Hi hamburglar,

Can share with us, what kind of backlinks method you think its worth doing??

I have no issues with ranking a website consisting of more than 3 keywords. My biggest earning X-Factor style adsense site is a 4 word exact domain match.org website that consistently produces ~$10/day.
12,000 Exact searches
8 - SOC
~7500 - competition in quotes.

Its all in finding the right keywords if you ask me...

Michael

One other tidbit of information that has really opened up a lot more product related keywords for me is this:

Articles of clothing seem to be Popular Searches, but like most keywords all the usual suspects are taken. However, by adding a simple prefix or suffix, you will find some real winners. Adding a color as the first word is a good start. Popular colors to start with are white, pink, and black.

Examples:

Flower Girl Dresses
110,000 exact searches
All TLD's taken

White Flower Girl Dresses
2900 exact searches
.net and .org still available (as of this post)

Ivory Flower Girl Dresses
2400 exact searches
.net and .org still available (as of this post)

Discount Flower Girl Dresses
1600 exact searches
.org still available (as of this post)

and if that doesn't help you, you can also try adding 'for boys', 'for girls', 'for men' or 'for women' to the end.

Examples:

Leather Bags
135000 exact searches
All TLD's taken

Leather Bags for Men
2400 exact searches
.org still available (as of this post)

and Congratulations to the first person reading this to take advantage of this one:

Leather Bags for Women
1000 exact searches
All TLD's AVAILABLE, YES EVEN THE .COM (as of this post)

Think a little outside the box and don't rely solely on what MNF or Google Keyword Tool show as Keywords.

Michael

I found a keyword....the plural form has more searches yet the CPC is much much lower...it's like 0.05 compared to the singular keyword 5.00 per click... I'm just wondering why there is such a big disparity. Is this a mistake? How do I verify?

I seem to be hitting a barrier of $20/day. I have been adding around 3 - 5 sites a week and I still cannot push past $20. The indexed sites are all top 10.

Time to buy some heavy PR backlinks tomorrow.

Kind of confusing to see myself sitting at the this threshold for a long time.

Working towards a goal, the very essential requirement! I'm gonna follow this thread!

Do you have any trouble with google's sandbox with your newly created websites?

I loved beginning my career on the internet. It's a great feeling when you see those pay checks build up in PayPal or your affiliate account.

Good luck buddy i believe you will hit that $300 per day soon, just stick at it

Sean. T

It definitely is a very slow process.

There has to be great amounts of patience to continue.

I have found a keyword on which I am going to try building a community around it. Forum/blog etc..

Hey haven't checked in on your progress in a while and was happy to see you're up to $20/day. That's awesome man.

I think I'm gonna have to get back into this. lol

I have one niche site constantly doing $1-5/day so I'm happy to see this is very consistent. I also don't know if it's just the holidays, but the clicks have been paying so much more this past month as well. It's pretty nice not touching a site for over 1 1/2 months, and the profits increasing.

Keep up the good work bud.

Awesome work!
Am sure all the knowledge that you got so far form this experience is going to increase your profits for this 2010!
Working hard is the only way to get results!

good to go up day by day. it is something which is the result of patience. keep it up.

[DELETED]

Hi Hamburglar,
Great work me friend - well done so far- you have inspired some people here. I wonder if its time to look at what takes the most time to get done and work what has worked the best so far - sort of a test and improve maybe.......

All the best for Christmas BTW

Paul

Have your older sites, 60+ days started to drop down the SERPs?

Hi Everybody, first of all wish you a merry christmas and happy new year!

Just would like to know whether you see a drop in earning in this festival week? My earning is just drop from 15 per day to 3 per day! SERP remain unchanged but traffic abit slow.......

Simon

Hi Simon,

DOn't worry matey, you're not alone, I've had the same issues.
My figures are very similar to yours and have seen a massvie drop. The first 2 weeks went absolutley crazy and I thought Id go t othe Ferrari showroom (NOT) but then the last week hasnt been to good. However, this is quite normal, the first 2 weeks everybody is looking and then you have to appreciate the fact that people go away etc.

Just ride out the storm before you come to any conclusions.

Good luck,

Have a wonderful Xmas all.

Zaheer

Hi hamburglar, any update to share for the project?

Simon

I havent had much luck with this, I was hitting about $40 a day. But I signed up with this other program and. . . . . WOW lets just say this works hand in hand.

Can I throw my experience into the mix here please?

I started trying adsense about 15 months ago and made next to nothing for the first 4 or 5 months. I now make £600 - £800 per month, with the bulk of it coming from 2 sites.

One alternates between 1st &2nd in Google UK and gets about 120-130 hits per day. This has a CTR of around 9.5% and earns between £300 and £400 per month.

The other is 3rd/4th for its main term and gets around 70-80 hits per day. It has a CTR of around 7.25% and earns between £120-£150 per month.

Both are 5/6 pages only, but with very focused, highly relevant content, and both are information sites, giving people who are generally looking to sell scrap metals and old coins (eg gold etc).

I *think* the reason they work quite well is that visitors find the information and advice that they want, but when they've read it there is no service on offer from the sites.

People still want to go somewhere to sell their stuff. Since they hopefully now trust me because of the genuinely helpful and correct information they've received, they can conveniently click the adsense ads that run down the right hand side of the page.

I think having a site that is clear and concise and gives people good advice with no distracting banners, affiliate stuff etc, builds trust and gives people exactly what they want.

Since adsense is great at putting relevant ads on each page they then have a choice of places to go to.

I'm sure I could probably imporve the performance of these sites, but really I haven't touched them since I put them up maybe 12 months ago.

The rest of my sites tend to have affiliate stuff on them, or not so focused content, or get low CPC and so don't earn anywhere near as much money.

Hope that makes sense and is helpful to someone.

When you guys are looking at search counts do you only consider the local search count?

So would go after a keyword that meets all of your criteria but has a local search count of 1000 but 8100 in global search count results in MNF?

Its true people get trained by the popular websites they visit. Always a good idea to know where these sites put their naviagtion etc and instead place your ads in these areas.

Hamburglar, along with sage advice from people who understand where you are at. Thanks for sharing your determination, your success and failures. Your willingess to be so open helps others to look at the things that hold them back.

Keep moving forward, keep taking action, know that you will make mistakes, know that you might fail. But know that if you do nothing nothing will happen.

I remember the feeling of earning that first dollar, when things get tough or don't move as fast as you'd like them to just remember that feeling.

wf is a great place.

great thread honestly this is good

I think all steps are good but you forgot the create adsense a/c.

Hi Lynne,

Good Morning!

The thing is, it does dip and dive. I was having a look at my stats earlier, and I have odd days where I get over $3, and some days where I get zilch. My nothing days are getting further and further apart though.

It is a question of building, isn't it? Every time you do something for your business, it is like a brick. It takes many bricks to build a house. You have to keep on building those bricks and not get despondent.

Very few things work on a perfectly level curve. You look at every chart, and there are bumps in the graph, where things didn't go so well. It happens, and it happens to everyone. The winners are the ones that didn't let it get to them.

So, cheer up, keep building those bricks, and the even the low money (or no money) days get further and further apart.

You are in this for the long haul and you do not want a get-rich-quick scheme, do you? (Hey if you do I know some goo roos who will flog you rubbish! LOL!)

Keep ya chin up and take care. Tomorrow is another day,

Best wishes,

Ruth

I dont think adding adsense to established sites would mean the drop. I did the same thing and my adsense just increased. It is just a flukey dip.

Daveshu,

Very good point and thank you for sharing. On smart-pricing, it may be true because I have several sites and three of them were doing very well with CPC between $1-$3. Those were my first sites following XFactor method. As I continued to build more sites, I noticed a drop on CPC to $.01 - $.70 for my first 3 sites.

My google seems to be holding steadily. And mine had actually increased since the holidays but mine are geared towards education and kids - areas people are busy offline during the holidays. ANd the main goal on those sights is content, not necessarily $$

I have 4 sites and I averagle $15 - $25 A DAY on google. Two of my sites are part of a different ad network - platefull -and am averaging $300 - $400 a month with them - been with them for about a year.

I need to market my sights a bit more I think,

I have added content to lots of my sites today, and they have all dropped in the rankings. It means I will have a few lean days, because most of them were on page one. I hope they will move back up to at least where they were in the next day or so.

I am thinking about selling some of my sites. If you could buy the perfect site for adsense, what would it contain?

Best wishes,

Ruth

Build traffic to your site and the adsense earnings will come..

Yea, i am on the way too Hope our dream comes true!

Simon

Hoping to get some advice.....

Following the niceh site/AdSense method.

Using Micro Niche Finder
Exact Searches between 2,000 - 3,000
Exact Phrase Count < 100,000
SOC <= 20
MOB <=1

Check Google, Adsense preview, and if all looks good, I register the keyword as the domain name, top level (com, org, or net), no hypens.

Build the site using Wordpress with 3-5 original content articles

Submit 3-5 articles to EZA with they keyword as a link in the resource box. Submit 1 article to GoArticles. All article are original content written by me or outsourced.

I've got 4 sites up now with the first one going live on 7 Jan. All show pages and links in Yahoo Site Explorer, but not a one has been indexed by Google yet.....

What am I doing wrong?

$100 to $300 a day is a very ambitious goal. Your blog needs to become very popular and it should be in a niche that display CPC ads.

Check your WP privacy settings to be sure you're allowing Google in.

Unbelievable....

Note to self and anyone else trying this:

GoDaddy Wordpress installs are public by default
Hostgator (where i'm doing my niche sites) Wordpress installs are private

Also of note - Yahoo evidently ignores the settings because the sites are indexed in Yahoo.

For generating revenue from Adsense the Better ways is to Setup Wordpress Blog and Apply SEO Friendly Theme and update your blog with Unique contents so google give much fovourable preference to your Post and Index them Quickly As much as they .. and Also find high Paying Keywords and Optimize your webblog on those Keywords..

thanks

You are correct. All cPanel/Fantastico installations of WP set the privacy to keep out search engines by default. You must remember to change it yourself.

After you've made this mistake a few times and sat around waiting for Google to index your site, you'll remember.

Forgot to say thanks Retired, so Thanks!

Doing another site today, and the first thing I did was set to public.....

And Bretil, the first step to ranking it to get indexed. And one of the things I do is AdSense sandbox t see what ads are showing for my key term. No good ads, then I pass on it, even if everything else looks good.

hey, Im learning something here. Thanks

Thanks for the fantastico/Cpanel thing... I have went through this pain also,of not getting indexed.

LOL... this is the classic example of "How does the blind man eat an elephant?" Ans: One bite at a time.

It seem a big target to aim for $100 per day, but once you get your first $1, you feel like you're on top of the world. Heck, even John Reese on manage $0.42 on his first day.

Any update?

A long time coming.

I am resurrecting this thread from the depth's of the lost graveyard. A lot of things have happened in a last little while that has taken my attention away. Got busy with my business, clients, got a job etc.... Just plain ol life.

However, my adsense sites have been the same and have not added any since Jan. They are all winter items and hence my low revenue of $8/day. My highest was $40 for one day back in december.

I have about 10 domains I have bought since Jan that I need to get started on. I am trying to de clutter my life and stay focused. Now that I have income from a job I can focus on good keywords.

One of my main faults from my previous adsense sites is the CPC. I went for high volume low CPC. It has not worked out that great.

My focus now is on getting above $2 CPC to make sure I am making good returns.

Lets see how this goes in round 2.

Love the feedback from everyone.

Hope you guys are also doing well.

Are you just monetizing your sites with just Adsense for content or are you using Adsense for search/domain/feeds. That too should boost some of your adsense revenue. May not work well if you are working only on micro niche sites.

Nice to see you pop up again Hamburglar.

And good luck with the new job. It may be a good thing for your online business because it will force you to be more careful and strategic with your time and resources.

All The Best

[DELETED]

I would've given up if I were you. Re-asses who you're taking advice from man.

It's not hard to find keywords with high CPC's if you have a tool that can run while you're asleep.

[DELETED]

Good luck, try to make huge traffic to your site and it will give you huge adsense earning to

Hi hambuglar,
Good to see uyou back and acyive- hope is going well!

Re:

<Does Hostgator have privacy settings on the regular static sites also? If so, where do I check to see if mine are set to private? Since I switched from SBI to HG earlier this year my traffic and adsense have been in the tank. Now I wonder if this could be a reason. >

Did you Page URLs change in the move?- that could a reason......

[DELETED]

Pretty quite here....this thread is one of my inspirational story, so keep it up mate

Fantastic, hope you the best, hopefully we shall all revell in your success, when it inevitably arrives

I made it this far. in general I give up when I don't see results fast, but this is a long-term commitment. So since no clicks so far, the only thing I can control is promotions and substance.

I went to local meetup.com meeting on internet marketing- got asked lots of questions, but mostly people doing nothing -( key: you have to take a lot of action)

My adsense is at around $50 a day, i have to say thankyou here to the help I got here, but at the same time, I took a lot of action- not always right, but i fixed things up along the way- this is a get rich slow process!

This thread is filled up with great advice all over Thanks all for posting very good tips and sharing the knowledge gained through experience

Good luck.... $8 a day is like free lunch.... Good Job! Well building your SEO for those websites you can also make some extra money link building with article directories that have adsense revenue sharing.

Great extra income!

I've done so far. Normally, when I do not see quick results, but it is a long-term commitment. Therefore, since you do not click until now, the only thing I can control is the content and promotions.

I've done so far. Usually, I give when I do not see results quickly, but it is a long term commitment. Thus, when no clicks so far, the only thing I can control is the content and promotions.

I was really sick lately, so there is no change except that my current site won me $ 2.68 this month. Beyond the goal of 50% to $ 4.

Good luck! Maybe this will also inspire other new publishers
to take action.

Good luck with your adsense efforts. I believe success will come if you stick to it.

Millardsc

Patient is the key to success i also agree with that term

You should not only share the risk between several ad partners (i.e. adsense, clickbank, amazon etc.), but also you should have a wide variety of subjects.

Before the crisis came, beauty websites made a lot of money with adsense, during the crises it was less in that subject, but other subjects grew.

This is why I think your goal is a little low. Yes it is very achievable, but maybe setting it a little higher would give you more of a drive to get things going. Not that I don't think you will. You sound motivated and I wish you the best of luck. I will be following your progress.

I know my goals are small. I can virtually set that to any amount I want. But here is what I have learnt with google.

There are too many unknown factors for earning a certain amount. Example. 1 MFA site that gets 20 impressions a day earns more than my authority website that gets 400 - 600 impressions a day.

Meeting a certain amount per day is based on trial and error. I can only hypothesize what works based on my experience. As in the other thread where Chase earned $40/day in 4 months. He has 48 domains out of 12 are 90% of his income.

Too many variables. The only aspect that is consistent is the amount of EFFORT one is willing to put.

I have a snapshot of Shoe' Money's adsense and I look at it every morning and reflect on when I can hold that in my hand.

I understand where you are coming from though. Thanks for responding.

Thank you very much for the love guys.

I continuing my quest for good keywords. I have found about 3 that I can build Authority sites around. The payouts are very good.

I will be posting Market Samurai pictures. The EMD's are all taken but I don't care for those any more. My passion and interest in the niche will make them rank

Wow, just went through all the pages on this thread... Glad to see you're back at it! I've been doing stuff off and on for a couple years, but basically just on one site. I'm getting a pretty good amount of traffic, but my CTR is terrible. I've tried quite a few things for layout, but it doesn't change much. I'll make my own thread on it though so I don't hijack yours, lol. Good luck!

Welcome back.

Nice challenge, it's a great idea to start with baby steps, that way you know what works
