Installing Adsense Tracking Materials Day #1

The Adsense Blueprint No Comments

Ok, so today I’m keeping it short and sweet. I’m taking a brief amount of time this evening to install adsense tracking materials on several of my sites. As I have already said in the past, currently I have twenty “money sites” in three different niches. One of these niches has ten sites in it. I am going to take that niche and the money sites within this niche and make sure that I have tracking installed on these ten websites.

You may be wondering what kind of tracking I am going to be installing. I have given a quick synopsis of tracking materials in the past but have not gone into great detail about them. And again today, because today is an action day for me, I am not going to be going into great detail about them. In the near future I will, and I will even make some videos for you to watch as I go into greater detail.

Here is a list of the tracking materials I am installing tonight on these ten sites:

1) Site Super Tracker (astracker)
2) Google Channels (from adsense)
3) Google Analytics (from my adwords account)

These are going to be essential to me running successful adsense sites. If you already know the steps to take to install these, I urge you to take action now. Do what I am doing, don’t kill yourself–pace yourself. I am installing these adsense tracking materials on one of my niches tonight. Professional adsense tools for professional adsense publishers. Now’s the time, do the same for yourself now, and I’ll talk to you soon.

If you are new to adsense, understand that I will be doing videos on installing these on your adsense sites in the near future.

The Layout And My Own Current Inventory…

The Adsense Blueprint No Comments

As I have mentioned previously, I have put thousands of dollars in to figuring out how to play adsense smart and within the adsense guidelines. As you know Google is not extremely fond of publishers making sites strictly for adsense (MFA–Made For Adsense) sites. So, what’s the solution? The solution is to come up with a system where we can follow the guidelines laid out by Google and still come up with unique, quality content. Here’s a layout of the process, just part of the blueprint:

layout

So, this should be fairly self-explanatory, but let me explain this to you briefly. Before you even start building these, you must do your keyword research. I have a piece of software that helps me do this that i find very useful. It’s called Keyword Niche Generator from the Adsense Wealth Empire team. Another one I use is called Keyword Elite. I’ll get in to how I use these tools a little later. For now, I want you to familiarize yourself with this layout, because this is it. This is the layout I’m going to reproduce with my adsense sites over and over. And guess what, the simple fact that I’m even showing this is definitely going to make the adsense gurus upset.

The Quick Walkthrough

First come up with an idea of a niche that you might like to go into with these adsense sites. You can literally come up with anything here. Once you keyword research is done, take the keywords that you get (let’s say you have roughly 700 keywords) and make 1 site (from a template–which we can get into discussion about later) for every 100 keywords that you get. So, in this case you would have 7 money sites all with completely unique quality content (which is also another discussion we’ll get into later).

A side note: when you create these sites with unique quality content, you are actually “fulfilling” Google’s request to come up with sites that they can use for their search engines, and in turn, you will get rewarded for this content with higher rankings. Now, you should create a niche directory site for these seven niche money sites that links to all of these money sites. Think of this niche directory as the ultimate resource for this niche market and treat it that way. An important note: this niche directory has NO adsense ads on it.

Now, you should have one more directory, the main directory. This directory also contains NO adsense ads. This main directory links to your niche directories. For instance, if you have a pet toys niche and a dog clothes niche, this directory would send a link to your pet toys niche directory and another to your dog clothes niche directory.

Now, that’s not it. You can’t just build these sites. You also must take into consideration the big Search Engine Optimization term. This includes both on-page optimization and equally to more important is off-page optimization. If you can learn how to conquer this, you’ve got it. Now, the whole reason for the directories that you’ve built with no adsense ads on them is so that you do less work in the end. If you really make sure your main directory is well optimized, your niche directories will gain positions in the search engines. And if you make sure your niche directories are well optimized, all of your money sites and the keywords for your money sites will gain positions in the search engines. So the whole idea here is that you let your directory sites work harder for you. As you continue to improve your directories, all of your money sites will improve with them. That’s fewer sites that you have to really concentrate on. Don’t get me wrong, don’t neglect your money sites. We’ll focus on those in great detail. So, that’s pretty much it. That’s the layout.

My Snapshot

As of today, my snapshot is 1 main directory and 3 niche directories. One of those niche directories has 10 money sites, another one has 3 money sites, and the last one has 7 money sites.

Your Plan Of Action

My suggestion for you right now is twofold:
1) Familiarize yourself with this layout. As I said, it’s only part of the blueprint.
2) Figure out what your snapshot is.

After you do this, get ready to learn and apply more. Remember, it’s not the knowledge of how to make it happen–it’s the “applied knowledge” that makes it happen. So join me and we’ll go on this journey for $200 a month from adsense together.

Ok, The Rundown…

I don’t want to leave anyone out in the cold. And I want and need to get on with it. So as promised…

May 15 adsense earnings

May 15 adsense earnings

The pictures above show my earnings for yesterday May 15, 2008 and my earnings for December 1, 2007–May 15, 2008. That’s 37 cents yesterday (May 15) and $61.77 since December. We’re all about to find out what happens when I focus on a blueprint with the right software to get the job done. The sites I’m going to create and tweak will not only be optimized for search engines, they will have completely unique content.

So here’s a look at the plan of attack for this blog and for my sites. But don’t get ahead of me, taking a guess at what I’m about to talk about could cost you a lot of money and could get you banned from adsense if you’re not careful.

So, that’s it I’ve laid out a plan for us to cover. I’m probably going to make a lot of professional adsense publishers upset with the information I’m about to give out, but stay tuned you’re about to learn a ton. I’m going to give you a more detailed blueprint and go into each one of these along with the pros and cons of some of these software products and tools.

The Debt That Started It All

The Adsense Journey No Comments

Here’s a picture of the debt that fueled my intense desire to make adsense work for me.

debt

To give you a little bit of background about myself, my name is Bradley G. Smith. I am a professional web programmer. I manipulate text files for a living. I have been involved with internet marketing since Sept. 2005. That puts me at about two and a half years into this game. From the research and experience that I’ve developed, it seems that it takes hardcore internet marketers who start from scratch about two years to begin getting a grasp on wrangling the beast we call the internet and begin pulling in a decent amount of profits on their own. So you could say that I’m about six months overdue for some serious automated (or semi-automated) recurring income.

Just recently I got a piece of mail (the one you see in the picture above) from the great Sallie Mae. In short, the letter says that I owe $202 a month for 177 payments. That’s $202 a month for a little over 14 years. And that’s just one piece of student debt. In all, my student debt totals about $60,000.

Up to this point, I’ve been deferring and claiming forbearance (because, honestly I don’t have the money yet to pay it back). I talked to Sallie Mae on the phone and they said that I can claim forbearance for one last period of 7 months. So, what does that mean? That means I have seven months to make something happen with adsense. Over the last two and a half years I have been studying a ton of things. I went from having no coding/programming experience whatsoever to developing some pretty sweet scripts using php, xml, flash, javascript, ajax, css, html, and a couple other languages. I have also been studying the world of internet marketing and actually consider myself to be in internet marketing generation 2.0.

So, how does all this make me an expert on adsense? Well, it doesn’t. If I was the expert, I would have already had my student loans paid off. But, during this whole period of immersing myself into my online career, I have developed a boatload of knowledge on seo(search engine optimization), adwords, adsense, and internet marketing in general. And it’s like those who are already making money online say, it’s not the knowledge that makes you the money–it’s the applied knowledge that makes you the money. And besides gaining a ton of knowledge, I have also already spent literally thousands of dollars online to learn some of these industry “secrets”.

That brings me to the point of this blog. This blog is basically a journey that I want to share with you the reader of how I am going to take you by the hand and show you what I’m doing when I’m doing it to bring my adsense earnings up to $202 per month in the next seven months. Currently, I’m at about $15-$20 per month and I have 20 content sites. It’s actually kind of pathetic I know. I’ll show you a screenshot soon of what my current earnings are (within adsense’s current terms and conditions of course).

And now, I conclude this blog post. During this journey over the next seven months. I want you to be able to see the results that I’m getting. It’s going to be a lot of hard work and honestly, I may fall short. Making money with adsense now is a lot harder than it even was 6 months to a year ago. But, I’m going to make at least five posts a week and give you a ton of valuable information along the way. If you don’t learn something about adsense, I guarantee you will learn something about search engine optimization. Some may respectfully disagree with me, but there is only so much on-page optimization you can do. I’m fortunate enough to work with a web design company whose number one goal is to get natural search traffic for companies.

I’ll do my best to keep the valuable content coming and provide you with all the on-page optimization, off-page optimization, the blueprint and the software that I use to get my sites to performance par. So, without further ado, enjoy!

If you have any comments or would like me to cover something in particular over the next seven months, please leave your comments.
