How to Make Money with Adsense

This post is in response to a number of emails I have received regarding Adsense. Specifically "How to Make Money with Adsense". I know most of you are familiar with the concept of adding Adsense to your blogs and are equally familiar with not making any money with it - or paltry sums at best.This post is an overview of what I do and regular readers may want to skip this.

I have been absent for the past two weeks working on some other projects but I noticed my RSS readers have grown by another 100 or so which tells me that there are a lot of new faces on here and most of you are not familiar with me or what I do online. I am not an A Lister or a guru of any kind. I am a niche marketer who until now has been making money quietly on the net - this blog was developed as just "another" niche I wanted to dominate in order to make money with Adsense and Affiliate sales. Unlike my other niches this blog has developed a readership and this has curtailed a lot of my usual activities regarding affiliate sales but I have kept the Adsense.

I dominate niches by using SEO techniques that I have been refining for a long time. I am not familiar with other systems as everything I do has been learned by trial and error - I experiment constantly.

My methods can be reduced to one simple strategy - I pick a niche that gets lots of search engine traffic and has a lot of corresponding advertisers and then optimize my blog and posts for every term that is in any way related to the main topic and sometimes no relation what so ever. My goal is always the same - I want to rank on page 1 on Google for every single term I target. By doing this I receive thousands upon thousands of visitors to my sites everyday and a percentage of these visitors click my ads or buy products through my links. Making money online can be reduced to one simple equation - the more search traffic you receive the more money you make. You will not make decent income until you start drawing thousands of visitors daily - it is a simple numbers game.

I don't want to rehash topics I have covered before so please read my posts on Keywords and Search Engine Optimization if you are not familiar with the topics. To make money with Adsense you will have to grasp these concepts first.

In spite of what most of you think - you can make a good living with Adsense sites. I do and I can honestly say that it is the easiest method for making money online - but - it does require work and some patience before you start seeing any meaningful results. I realize that screenshots are meaningless as anything can be faked but I will show you my Adsense income from last month and remind you that I am not selling you anything here - I just want you to realize that this is a viable source of income if you want to buckle down and work for it. It has taken me the better part of two years to reach this stage so don't get ahead of yourselves - this takes time.

This blog is in the "Make Money Online" niche and isn't one of the better searched niches in spite of it's popularity in blogging circles. The table below shows a sample of some of the related keywords for the "make money online" niche. None of the keywords provide a great deal of traffic on their own compared to niches like "music downloads" but when you add up all the different terms you can create a good flow of traffic if you rank well for all the keywords. This is what I do in every niche and it works.

Ranking well for one term in Google boosts your rankings for other terms - ranking well for lots of terms boosts your rankings for lots of other terms and so on - a giant snowball effect if you will.

Here are some keywords that I have targeted...

How to Get Money Rank 1

How to Make Money Rank 3

How to Make Money Online Rank 2

Making Money Online Rank 4

Make Money Online Rank 8

MAKE MONEY ONLINE Rank 5 - yes you rank differently for the same term if it's capitalized.

Making Money Rank 10

These are all on page 1 on Google. I rank on page 1 for dozens of other related terms as well but these bring in the bulk of my traffic for this blog and add about $1500 a month to my total Adsense earnings. These earnings will increase over time as I am still working on page 1 rankings for lots of other terms - one in particular that will add a considerable amount of traffic. I am currently in 12th spot on page 2 for the most competitive term of all in this niche...

Make Money Rank 12

This term has 147 million competing pages - no easy task right? Well actually it's not as hard as you might think.

Those of you who are new here may have noticed that this blog isn't pretty. In fact it's just a plain old free Blogger blog hosted on Blogspot. I have no fancy graphics and don't do a dam thing to encourage people to stop and read my content. This is by design and for one simple reason - I am not after readers - I am after clicks.

The layout of this blog goes against all the conventional wisdom of how you should set up a blog. Keep this in mind - all that wisdom is about attracting readers - not making money. People don't click if you get them reading. About 7% of the people who find this site through Google click my Ads. The uglier I make the site the higher this percentage gets.

If you are brave enough start reading my old posts - they explain how I have optimized this blog for search traffic. My techniques work in a highly competitive niche like this but more importantly they really kick ass in less competitive niches that have a lot more searches to cash in on.

Getting search visitors is only step one however - getting them to click or buy is the hard part. My next post will cover all my little tips for converting traffic into Adsense revenue.

Internet Marketing isn't Blogging

Bloggers don't make money online - Internet Marketers do. It has taken me a while to understand why so many of my readers just don't get it. Bloggers want to make money but they want to do it blogging. They have integrity. They want to be recognized by other bloggers. They want to be famous. They think the A-list makes the most money online.Internet Marketers only want to make money. They use blogs but they don't blog. You have never heard of them. They make a lot more money than the A-list.

I have been telling bloggers for some time now how to make money online and it isn't working. You can only make money by getting large volumes of traffic and it has to be traffic that will spend money on something they want or will click ads in pursuit of something they want. Bloggers spend all their time trying to get other bloggers to read their blogs. Bloggers don't spend money and even if they did there are not enough of them to make a living on. Internet Marketers spend all their time optimizing pages for the search engines and getting backlinks.

You have heard me say all this before and yet you still chase bloggers.

A little perspective

The blog you are reading now averages about 2000 visitors a day - 3/4 of the traffic comes from Google. The rest are bloggers. Adsense earnings average about $100/day. Affiliate sales are sporadic at best and earn me maybe $500 a month. This is not an affiliate sales site however and could do a lot better if I concentrated my efforts on the search traffic. I also make about $100 a week selling leads (Project Payday).

Most of you would think this is a pretty good income and you will continue to build up your blog in hopes of achieving a similar income. Most of you will never achieve it because you will never get the search traffic. You will try and get more readers.

The screenshot below is of one of my statcounter accounts. The stats you see are for all the affiliate sites I have built over the past three months. Most are for products on clickbank, CJ and ROI Rocket. Affiliate products have a decent return for about three months and then interest drops off drastically. A few products like SEO Elite and Keyword Elite stand the test of time but they are an exception - they are different from all the rest because they are actually useful. Most products are crap.

I optimize affiliate sales blogs just like my Adsense blogs. I pre-sell the product and direct the visitor to my affiliate link. You will see that I have as many failures as successes. Every site on the list is or was on page 1 of the serp's but some don't generate interest, others get sandboxed and some generate a lot of traffic. This past month I generated about 300,000 page views. 1% clicked through to the sales page. About 3000 visitors. 10% of these actually bought a product - approx 300 sales (289 to be exact). My average commission is $23 for a total of just under $6700. I spent a grand total of nothing on hosting or domains. I spent nothing on PPC. The only expense I have is buying backlinks - about $750 this month but this should be divided equally between all several hundred sites that I manage - about $3.26 per site.

Remember the Asia'h Epperson blog I created?

I spent less than an hour on the blog - creating it, writing 5 posts and collecting 20 backlinks. I haven't touched it in a month.

It has generated almost 10,000 page views.

It still ranks number 5. It outranks lots of older established PR sites.

Why?

I want you folks to think about everything you think you know about making money online.

Do you need an aged site?

Do you need a site with tons of quality content?

Do you need a fancy wordpress blog or website?

Do you need web 2.0?

Do you need stumblers and diggers?

Let's see who has been paying attention.

You tell me why I can create free blogs for Adsense or Affiliate sales and rank on top of the serp's with little content and do it all in a matter of days and create a steady stream of hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Oh, in case I still don't have your attention...

The best answer will get $500 from me - yup - straight to your paypal account.

There is a catch though - the best answer will be the person who shows me and not tells me - the money goes to the first person who outranks my Asia'h blog for the term "Asia'h Epperson". ( I will not do a thing to keep my ranking ) If any of you are serious about making money online then prove it.

I am serious - I really want to know if anybody has learned a thing or if I am just wasting my time with this blog. I can make a lot more money turning it into an affiliate sales page like all the other sites in the "make money online" niche.
