more functions than Micro Niche Finder. I just stick with it because it has the very basics that I need, and serves this Adsense approach extremely well. - John | |

There are many times that a keyword comes back with crazy stats, but then the next day changes to what it is supposed to be. It's part of the aches and pains of keyword research. You just have to roll with the punches. - John | |

Hi John; I was just curious as to whether you ever used the adsense page generator software thats avaiable with the MNF and if so what kind of rating you would give for a site [page] built with this software. Brian |

I'm not sure what you mean. I started at .5 to .20 cents per day, just like everyone else. However, although I would like to see $1,000 days, I no longer write down money goals. I now write down goes like: "I want to put up 10 pages of content today" or "I want to get 5 sites ranked #1 this month," etc. Follow a set plan of action, without being distracted, and the money will take care of itself. - John |

$300+ in about 6 months using the same strategies I talk about here of more sites and in less competitive niches. It's really easy. Every site you build should give you at least $2.00 to $5.00 each day with little-to-no maintanance. - John | |

Based in your experience and with your strategies, how many sites do you think that need to achieve your new goal of $1.000 daily?

Hi John, In your course could you include what sort of content do you put on your home page. Also, just curious, what caused you to change from building your large pet site to mini sites. got the answer from your 1st post, you say it is because you have to maintain it, is that because the pet site is a blog, because from my experience once a large html static site has enough content and links the rankings become pretty consistent, blogs usually need maintenance or rankings will drop what caused you to change from wordtracker to google there is some controversy as to google's search count being inflated. |

Any tips on keyword research? I downloaded a free trail of SEnuke so now I can do it the right way and check competition. But after 30 minutes of searching for a niche, I haven't really come close to anything. It seems to be either or....high competition/high searches or no competition but not enough searches ot justify persuing. Any tips or is that just the way it is...keep looking until you stumble on something? I don't expect to stumble on a great niche in two minutes, but so far I am getting nowhere. |

Well im a bit of a noob right now to this whole adsense online marketing thing. I have been layed off from my current job and i have spent the last month working on two websites trying to make money from adsense with one and from an affiliate program with the other. I've downloaded and read about 5 different e-books from different forum members but im still not having much luck as far as profits are concerned. So far I've made a pretty pathetic amount. My adsense income is like... $4. When using the Google keyword tool.. say I search.. "Make Money online".. I want keywords that have very low competition but still a high amount of searches right? Like 0% competition 1,000 searches? OR will that result in very poor adsense earning per click on my adsense based sites? You see Im under the influence that if I go to the highest competition keyword.. which might pay the most per click say.. $4.00, wouldnt there be a lot more sites listed on Google. Making it harder for me to get ranked on the front page, which could in the long run make me even less money? Because I could get to the front page of google with a keyword that gets me only $.19 per click and get hundreds of clicks because i get many many more visitors. Or am is it possible somewhere along the line ive become really really confused and have no diea what im talking about. |

This is a very interesting thread - I didn't know anyone yet who was concentrating on adsense alone ... congratulations for focusing on a plan and sticking with it John,,, That is probably what accounts for your success... consistency! Fran |

"Make Money Online" is in a high competition field... If you read what John is doing, he is working with product niches, products that people are searching for and the words in those searches are the keywords we hope to nail down... I know I've read a lot of books but I had to make myself concentrate on one thing at the time to have some success... and that is what John is doing, he is focusing on adsense and building his sites and inevitably picks up ideas and tips for improving or innovating as he goes along. Try to concentrate on a plan and write down every idea you get or stuff you read as it relates to your plan... come back to the forum and get some more ideas... you will start getting some results. It's tough when you're out of a job... I wish you good luck Fran | |

Think outside the box. Go away from the big ticket items. Go to Home Depot or Bad Bath & Beyond or Walmart. Take a notepad. Spend some time writing down products (product groups) - preferrably at the bottom or top of a shelf. Here is an example: female thinning hair There is a decent number of searches for this term + 781,000 search results in Google. Not a perfect match, but doable to get onto page #1 fairly easy. femalethinninghair.net is available for registration. The "dot com" has only 3 pages indexed. I am not saying this is a perfect example, but it shows you a good approach to get away from the main stream. Think about your last job. What area was that in? Anything very specific that is not mainstream? Another example: Domain: lefthandedpresidents.com Search Term: left handed presidents You can write about presidents in general and left handed presidents. Disclaimer: the 2 examples are really just examples and not perfect matches. Think outside the box and you can discover many hidden niches and dominate them. Chris

and the resources for that content.
Mini sites are easy to rank for and earn passive income because there it's very easy to dominate rankings for stuff like blow dryers, shelving units, glass pots, nail polish, floor mats, hammers, stair railings, air conditioners, faucets, etc.
from the Google Search Count. Plus wordtracker just seemed "off" after using it for so long. - John | |||

First of all, there are many different approaches to Adsense. I have just found the simplest and easiest approach for passive income that works for me, and will work for you too. However... 1) You need to relax, and dump your brain from all of the info that you have read. 2) Start from scratch, reread this thread and take notes. 3) Keep it simple: Brainstorm products in your keyword tool, find a keyword that gets a decent amount of searches and low competition (don't forget to check PR and SOC of the leading sites), then build your site. 4) Use article marketing. It's free, simple, and you are publishing info that could lead ongoing backlinks and traffic to your sites for years to come. - John | |

going to the store. Some of the most awful and confusing advice I've read are e-books trying to make "finding Adsense niches" so mind-boggling. It's not. Step 1: Go to the store, walk downtown, or the mall. Step 2: Write down at least 100 products you see. Step 3: Use your keyword tool to find ideal numbers (as discussed in this thread). Build site, promote, promote, promote. Then start again on another site. - John | |

But again, don't pick this one example and run it into the ground. It is an example and shall just show how to get away from all the normal stuff. You do not want competition, you want searches that scale well and that allow you to dominate the SERPS. Chris | |

Right - people have to be paying for AdWords for AdSense ads to show up on your site. So, there generally has to be a product or service for sale somewhere along the line. People don't pay for AdWords for nothing. Jason |

I read it. I wasn't necessarily picking on your example, but using it as an opportunity to tell people (especially newbies) that they should make sure there are AdWords running before they pour a lot of effort into a site. To my knowledge, if there are no AdWords running in the SERPs, then there's a good chance there either won't be any for content sites, or that they'll be pretty low-paying. Now, of course there could very well be people out there who are only on the content network. But, it seems to me to be a safer bet to find niches where ads show up in the SERPs, as there are thousands of them. Jason |

The problem I'm having is researching a niche and trying to decide to use broad match or exact match. I've found some great results with broad match but when I switch to exact match the search volume drops a lot. Any tips from someone using Market Samurai? |

1) You can still make a ton of cash from keywords that may not be product-based, but have a lot of people searching for them. 2) Even if there is nobody bidding on that term, Adsense Ads will still be served up. 3) The CTR may not be high, but these Ads will still peak the interest of some individuals landing on your site. - John | |

Hi John, Been having a frustrating time with keyword research tools of late. I used to use wordtracker years ago, worked fine, today it seems to do the same thing as always. Don't know why people don't like it as much today. MNF uses Google's search count results, from all the sites you have now, how accurate are Google's monthly search counts as compared to the traffic you get when you have a top 3 ranking. Hope you can give me some insight, I've become to distracted researching keyword research tools, instead of adding articles and getting links. thanks |

Like I said, I have spent a good amount of time and haven't come up with much. I was wondering if there is a method I should follow or is it basically "just keep looking until you come across something"? Seems the best method is what has been talked about....go to the store and write down a bunch of items. Then use the keyword tool. And you either get a niche that works or you don't. | |

Hello John, I was just wondering, after you build a new site, do you just start to submit articles that point to your site and let the search engines find your site themselves or do you use other means to let the search engines know about the new site. Thanks, |

For the newbies. If you are targeting the niches posted by John or food related equipment, probably you are bound to fail at some point. A ton of people are getting on this bandwagon now. Adsense cpc will get stretched thin and keyword searches are not enough to share between so many sites. Forums are starting to link to this thread, WSOs will spring up by the truckload. Find other niches.

would you agree John with what jeswarrior just said? I am a newbie and want to follow your system but is she right? Are there too many people on this bandwagon, will adsense be stretched too thin and k/words not enough to share between so many sites for the niches you've shared so far? Would be we better off branching out into new areas - still appliance related perhaps? thanks for any insight.

keyword. You see, like I've discussed, your goal is to build small websites that are based around products and can easily get ranked at the top of Google for that specific keyword. And in order for you to build a site with confidence, knowing that all of the work you are going to put into marketing it will pay off, can only be secured by knowing that the following combination of stats mixed together all equal a profitable outcome: 1) How many competing websites there are. 2) How many of those competing websites have the main keyword in the title only, URL, page, in anchor. 3) The highest ranking competing sites' competing PR and backlinks, called the "SOC" (strength of competition). 4) And of course, the number of searches estimated. Do You Really Want To Do This Manually? I'll tell you right here and right now, I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to formulas and stats. I honestly would not know how in the world to do all of the above manually, never mind trying to figure out if my results would make a good keyword. So the smart guys create keyword tools for dummies like me that literally can push a button, and calculate all of that crap up an literally tell you whether or not the keyword should be chased (with a little common sense of course). - John | |

These are just examples. Don't be afraid of competition. Many will try, many will fail, many will not follow through - even though there is a blue-print already in this thread. It requires to take action and it is not a get rich quick scheme. Somebody else will promise better returns and a new ecourse or ebook and the masses will follow the next guy. | |

John, the numbers SOC gives us allinanchor, allintitle, and allinurl this refers to the top 10 sites competing with us because for allinachor lets say it is 20 this is the number of sites linking to the target site using the keyword in the anchor text what I want to know is what is the target site, the 1st one or the top 10 I asked MNF this but have not heard back yet, thought you might know. thanks |
