Building Your AdSense Sites in Step-by-Step
Once you’ve been approved for a Google Account, by building a site that Google would easily approve, and you’ve selected a high paying topic for your site, you are ready to get to work and build your first profitable AdSense website.
If you have not already done so (you should have), you really need to go and read the program policies that Google has set, as well as their webmaster guidelines. This will help you to build a better site, and to avoid issues that can and will get you banned from the Google AdSense program.
Your site should be full of content that uses your keywords. A keyword density of about 2 to 3% is great. This means that your keyword should be used approximately 2 to 3% of the time in your content. So, for a page that has 600 words of content, the keyword would appear twelve to eighteen times (600 x 2% or 600 x 3%).
There is more to it than targeting keywords. The content must be accurate. It must be readable and understandable by visitors. It must be unique.
You should use all of the search engine optimization techniques as possible when building your site. Not only will this attract the right ads, but it will also help your site to move up in the search results, for the purpose of driving traffic to your site.
You want your site to look nice, to be informative, and to load fast. You want it to attract the right ads. You do not want anything on your pages that will irritate your visitor, such as blinking, blinding text or music.
Make it a site that you would want to visit, and then ask an uninterested party, such as your neighbor (not your best friend or your mother) if it is a site that they would want to visit, if they were interested in the topic.
Now, you are ready to place the AdSense code on your pages. Log in to your AdSense account. Click on the AdSense Set up tab at the top of the page. First, click on Channels, and set up a Channel for the topic of your site. This will come in handy later on, when you are analyzing which of your sites is pulling in the most money.
Next, click on palettes, and create a color palette that matches your site well. You want your Google ads to blend into your site. If they stand out like a sore thumb, they will get fewer clicks, simply because people really do try to avoid advertisements.
You want the ads to look like content on your site. Once you’ve set up a palette that matches your site, click on products. Choose AdSense for content to create your ad units.
Here, you can choose ads that are enclosed in a box, or ads that are more free standing, but still just text links. It is a good idea to choose the link unit to add above or below your navigational links, and you can design your site navigation links to look just like the Google link units.
You can use the ad units (boxed in) on other sections of your site. Those who have been in the Google AdSense game for a while have done years worth of testing on the topic of ad unit placement. Ideally, you will use ‘text ads only’ as
your setting. Then, place a skyscraper on one side of your page, and a rectangle ad unit at the top of your page.
Note that Google has limits as to how many Google ads can be used on your page! On one page, you may have three ad units, two search boxes, one link unit, and two referral units.
If you have not already done so (you should have), you really need to go and read the program policies that Google has set, as well as their webmaster guidelines. This will help you to build a better site, and to avoid issues that can and will get you banned from the Google AdSense program.

Choosing Your AdSense Site Niche Topics
Now that you’ve built a site that has met Google’s approval, and you have a Google AdSense account, you need to learn how the experts select topics for their Google AdSense sites. Choosing the right topics is the difference between success and failure!
Let’s take a look at the various tools that you will use, and how you will use them. First, you need keyword research tools. You can find out what the top keywords that are being searched for are with a web based tools such as Word Tracker, at http://www.wordtracker.com. There is a fee for using this tool.
If you don’t want to use a fee based tool, you will have to do more manual work, and use a free tool such as the one found at Yahoo Search Marketing (formerly Overture) at http://www.overture.com.
When you get here, you would click on resources, and then on the Keyword Selector tool. You would have to type keywords in, and then the tool will tell you how many searches were performed for that keyword the previous month.
It is much faster and easier to use the fee based tool at Word Tracker, however. But finding the most frequently searched for keywords isn’t enough. Once you have a good list of what people are searching for the most, the next step is to find out how profitable those keywords are.
Not all frequently searched for keywords are profitable, and if you hope to make a full time living with Google AdSense, you need high paying keywords.
Now, before you rush out in search of a list of high paying keywords, note that even if there was such a list, it would constantly be changing, just as the list of frequently searched for keywords changes. Furthermore, you don’t seriously believe that other AdSense publishers are going to share such a list, if one even existed, do you? They wouldn’t. You have to find this information yourself.
Here is where having a Google AdWords account will come in handy. You can see what the advertisers are paying to get in the top position of the search results for their keywords. Simply log in to your free Google AdWords account, and click on ‘tools.’ Next, click on Keyword Tool.
Enter your keywords, and then in the drop down box below that, select ‘Cost and Ad Position Estimates.’ Type 5.00 in the last box, and hit ‘calculate.’ Now, Google will display possible keywords, based on the main keyword that you entered. Next to each keyword, you will see the estimated average CPC (cost per click) and the estimated position.
You want to view the CPC for the keywords that will fall into the top five on position, stated as 1 – 3 or 1 – 5. As of this writing, using the keyword phrase ‘weight loss’ you would see that the estimated CPC for hoodia weight loss is 3.43. Now, as an advertiser, that is what you would pay per click for an ad that is being run when that keyword phrase is searched for.
As a publisher, however, you would not make 3.43 per click. Google wants their share as well. Google doesn’t state what percentage is earned by the publisher, however. It varies, and how that percentage is figured is Google’s secret, and they are not sharing that information!
You basically have to pull a percentage out of the air to work with. Try using 30% as a guide.
Once you start getting clicks, you can then look to see what the estimated CPC is in AdWords, and then see how much you were paid for that click in AdSense to find out how much Google is paying you per click for that keyword. Again, this varies from one keyword to the next, so there are no set guidelines here.

Again, this varies from one keyword to the next, so there are no set guidelines here.
Applying For a Google AdSense Account
Here, we will go over filling out the form, so that Google will approve you without any problems. You can find the form to apply for an AdSense account at:
http://www.google.com/adsense/g-app-single-1.
The first thing that the form asks for is the URL of your website. Note that even if you have multiple sites, Google only wants to see one. So, list the URL of the site
that you have set up for the purpose of being approved for Google AdSense, and enter the URL like this: seorad.blogspot.com/
You do not have to include, and don’t include any subpages of the URL, such as www.mydomain.com/mypage.html. Google wants to see the main page of the site, at the top level domain.
Next, Google wants to know what language your site is published in. If your site supports multiple languages, this is fine, but this isn’t what Google wants to know. They want to know the primary language of the site – this would be the language that you used to write the pages, such as English.
The next question on the form throws a lot of people into a tail spin. It asks if you are setting up an individual or business account.
Here is a way to simplify this question: If you do not have an office or business that currently has 20 or more employees, you are an individual. It doesn’t matter what your future plans are. Next, select the country that you live in.
The following part of the form asks for your information: name, street address, city, and state. It is important to note that when Google pays you, the check will be made out to the name that you put here, and sent to the address that you put here. So, use the information that you need to use here in order to receive the check, and to cash or deposit the check.
After your name and address, Google wants your telephone number. They probably won’t call you, but sometimes they will, if there is a problem or a question. Give a good phone number where you can be reached. You do not have to provide a fax number.
Here, you can also choose to receive Google’s newsletter – or not. Choosing not to receive the newsletter will not have any affect on whether or not you are approved.
Product selection confuses many as well. Choose both: AdSense for Content and AdSense for Search. This means that you can run both, but don’t have to run both.
You can have Google ads appear on your pages (AdSense for Content) and you can also include a Google search box on your pages (AdSense for Search), and when people use those search boxes, and click on sponsored ads in the results, you get paid for those clicks as well.
Following this, there are five check boxes, all of which must be checked, before you can submit the application.
By checking these boxes, you are saying that you will not click on the ads on your pages, that you will not encourage visitors to click on your ads (incentives), that you are able to receive checks that are made out to you, that you will not place ads on pornographic sites, and that you have read the AdSense program policies.
Finally, you submit the form, and prepare to wait. Your site will be checked by a live human being. Approval is manual, not automated, and it can take up to three business days (72 hours) before you hear from a Google representative. That contact usually comes via email.
Preparing To Set Up an AdSense Account
The hardest part of getting started with AdSense is getting Google to approve your website. In fact, for many, it is easier to get a $100,000 bank loan than it is to get a free Google AdSense account. The key is to be prepared before you apply.
You cannot start using Google AdSense on your pages until you are approved. This means that you must prepare to open an account, before you apply for an account.
The very first thing you must do is read Google’s Terms of Service (TOS). If your site doesn’t fall within the guidelines that Google sets out, it will be denied. Furthermore, even after you are approved and you start running Google ads on your site, if you break the TOS, you will be removed, and possibly banned, from the program.
Specifically, what you are looking for is the Program policies, which can be found at http://adsense.google.com. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on Program Policies. The first thing to note is that Google will not accept any site that is not complete.
This means that you cannot have any pages that are ‘under construction.’ All of the pages must be complete, and all of the links must be working correctly. Make sure that all of your graphics are also appearing correctly, because even a broken graphic can prevent you from getting approved.
Google also has a set of Quality Guidelines that must be adhered to before you can be approved. These guidelines, along with the program policies, will tell you exactly what you cannot have on your site, and what is expected of you and your site in terms of meeting the qualifications for a Google AdSense account. You can find these guidelines at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html.
One mistake that so many would-be AdSense publishers make is not reading the TOS, the Program Policies, and the guidelines. Google lays these out in very specific terms, so there is no doubt as to the rules. They are also very serious about these rules.
Often, people skip this step in the preparation – reading the rules – work hard to build a site, only to be disapproved by Google, or to be approved, but then banned from the program later.
Don’t let this happen to you. These are rules that you must not only adhere to for approval, but must continue to adhere to in order to stay in the program. You don’t want to spend days and weeks building sites only to get kicked out of the program later. Google is very serious about this.
Once you’ve read the rules, and you understand them, the next part of preparation is doing research to find out which topics will be the most profitable for you, and getting the site built. We will cover these topics in more depth in a later article, but for now, you just need a website that will be approved by Google.
Remember that you only have to get approved for one site in order to get in the program, and from there on, you can publish as many sites as you want, on a wide variety of topics, and use Google AdSense on them, from the one account that you have been approved for.
While many just put up a website that will meet Google’s standards, without doing any research in order to get approved, you could also take a little longer, and go ahead and build a site that you can use to target the high paying keywords.
This is totally up to you, and it really doesn’t matter much which direction you go, as long as the site will get you approved for a Google AdSense account.

What Is AdSense, Really?
In recent years, there has been a great deal of discussion and information concerning Google’s AdSense program at http://adsense.google.com. There have been numerous E-Books and articles written on the topic.
But in the grand scheme of things, it is a profitable program that still gets overlooked by many who are just coming online to start a business, as well as those who have been around a while.
First, let’s take a look at exactly what AdSense is and what it is all about. AdSense is a program for webmasters which was implemented by the famous Google some years ago.
Essentially, a webmaster (a person who owns and builds one or more websites) signs up for an account with the program, and once they are approved, they paste the Google AdSense code into the pages on their websites.
Google then starts serving ads to those websites, based on the keywords that it finds in the text of the page. When a visitor clicks on one of those ads, the webmaster earns money – usually a few cents for each click. However, when a site has a great deal of traffic, and when the webmaster knows which keywords are the most profitable to target, there is a lot of money to be made.
It sounds simple enough, but it’s not really that easy. First, you have to be approved – and Google is picky. The good news is that once one site is approved, you have a Google AdSense account, and you do not have to seek
Google’s approval to use AdSense on any other site that you own, as long as that site is within the Google’s terms of service guidelines.
Once you are approved, you have to know which keywords to target – the ones that will make you the most amount of money per click, and how to write (or have written for you) content that draws those high paying ads. Often, this is the hardest part for what are known as ‘AdSense publishers.’ When we get into this, the secrets will start unfolding.
Finally, you have to learn how to drive traffic to your AdSense site. Without the traffic, you won’t get any clicks, and without clicks, you won’t be earning any money.
This is the second hardest part of being an AdSense publisher. There really aren’t any secrets here – it is just a matter of learning to use some basic, proven site promotion techniques.
You may have heard gurus say that it isn’t wise to build Google AdSense sites anymore. If you haven’t heard this, there will come a point when you will. But that really isn’t true. In fact, there are thousands of people just like you that are making very nice livings from the Google AdSense program.
Usually when a guru says that you should not use Google AdSense, they generally mean that you are better off not using it when you are promoting your own product, and your website is tightly focused on that product. However, you can use Google AdSense for a site that was built specifically for the AdSense program, or on sites that you are using to promote affiliate products as well.
You should also note that many successful AdSense publishers have more than one website. They typically have numerous websites, on a variety of topics on which they display the Google ads. However, there are also those that simply
have one high traffic website, from which they earn revenue from the AdSense program.
Regardless of this, all AdSense publishers start with just one website, and grow from there, and this is what you will be doing as well. You have to get the basics down, and learn the secrets that surround the profitability of Google AdSense before you can be successful with more sites.

Earning a Comfortable Living from AdSense Reviewed
Technically, there is only one way to earn money from AdSense. You create a website, and paste the AdSense code into the pages. You then drive traffic to that site, and you earn money when people click on the ads that are being served by Google. That sounds easy enough, right?
It is easy, but it takes more thought and effort than that. What you must remember is that you only earn a few cents when someone clicks an ad, for the most part. That amount can be as little as three cents, and on up to five dollars. The most successful AdSense publishers are targeting keywords that pay the most amount of money.
These AdSense publishers use a variety of tools to find out what the high paying keywords are. These tools include keyword research tools, such as Word Tracker and Keyword Elite.
They spend a great deal of time researching those keywords, finding out what the top keywords are, in terms of number of people searching for them, and what word combinations are being used. These are words and phrases that they will target in the content of their sites.
Next, they determine which of those top keywords topics pay the most money per click. Those who have been in the AdSense game for a while are not going to build sites that target keywords that only pay three cents per click!
They are making a living, and three cents doesn’t go very far in reaching their goal.
These AdSense publishers use the tools that Google provides to help determine which keywords are paying the most to the publishers. Unfortunately, you won’t find these tools inside your Google AdSense account. You need a Google AdWords account for this.
You see, Google has two programs: Google AdSense and Google AdWords. Those two programs work together. Business owners use Google AdWords to promote their products and websites. When you publish Google AdSense ads on your site, the ads that are being displayed are those that people using the Google AdWords program have paid Google to run.
Fortunately, it is free to set up a Google AdWords account. You just set it up, and get in there and start using the tools that are there to see how much bids are for the keywords that you’ve discovered using keyword selection tools such as Word Tracker and Keyword Elite.
By doing this, you have access to the same information that the people who are paying for ads has, and this helps you to build more profitable AdSense websites.
This is a secret that Google won’t tell you about, and few AdSense publishers will share with you. Having a Google AdWords account is the key to finding out which keywords are going to pay you the most amount of money per click.
Choosing the right high paying keywords, however, isn’t all that there is to it. You also must have the traffic. Low traffic sites won’t make you a full-time living. This is why most publishers have more than one website.
They find the top keywords in terms of number of searches, figure out the keywords from that list that pay the most amount of money per click, and then build sites accordingly.
A successful AdSense publisher may have sites on topics such as fishing, weight loss, video games, making money, and more. When you have multiple sites, you can make a nice living with a mid level amount of traffic to each site.
If you have hundreds of sites, which some publishers do, you can make a living even with low traffic. So, here is some food for thought: The more traffic you have per site, the fewer sites you will need to earn a living from AdSense.
It is easy, but it takes more thought and effort than that. What you must remember is that you only earn a few cents when someone clicks an ad, for the most part. That amount can be as little as three cents, and on up to five dollars. The most successful AdSense publishers are targeting keywords that pay the most amount of money.
These AdSense publishers use a variety of tools to find out what the high paying keywords are. These tools include keyword research tools, such as Word Tracker and Keyword Elite.

By doing this, you have access to the same information that the people who are paying for ads has, and this helps you to build more profitable AdSense websites.
This is a secret that Google won’t tell you about, and few AdSense publishers will share with you. Having a Google AdWords account is the key to finding out which keywords are going to pay you the most amount of money per click.
Choosing the right high paying keywords, however, isn’t all that there is to it. You also must have the traffic. Low traffic sites won’t make you a full-time living. This is why most publishers have more than one website.
They find the top keywords in terms of number of searches, figure out the keywords from that list that pay the most amount of money per click, and then build sites accordingly.
A successful AdSense publisher may have sites on topics such as fishing, weight loss, video games, making money, and more. When you have multiple sites, you can make a nice living with a mid level amount of traffic to each site.
If you have hundreds of sites, which some publishers do, you can make a living even with low traffic. So, here is some food for thought: The more traffic you have per site, the fewer sites you will need to earn a living from AdSense.

There are many ways to make money using the internet, and one excellent source of
passive income is to own high traffic websites which are monetized using GoogleAdsense.
AdsenseTips part 2
4. How to Get Your Website Online
There are two things you need to do before you can upload your website:
4.1. Choose a good domain name
The most obvious point is your domain name needs to be related to your website theme,
and choosing a domain name that has your most generic keyword phrase is going to
depend on availability. In the example we used earlier for choosing keywords, we had
these 3 keywords:
− Diamond
− Diamond Ring
− 3 Stone Diamond Ring
A quick check on GoDaddy (one of the cheapest domain name registrars online)
revealed that diamond.com and diamond−ring.com were not available, but
3−stone−diamond−ring.com was available. The only problem being it’s not all that
inspiring and it’s quite limiting in terms of a website theme. When settling on a domain
for your website, try all the combinations you possibly can, bearing in mind the following:
− Separating the words with a hyphen makes the domain easier to read… There’s two
parts to optimizing your site for the search engines:
i. The domain must mean something to the search engines and be related to your
website theme.
ii. After all that hard work getting your website into the top 10 search results there’s
no point putting the surfer off with a crappy domain name − You want a domain
name that’s easy to read.
− No matter how readable your domain name is, to make sure it gets the surfer’s
attention it better scream “click me” and to do that it needs to offer the surfer an
implied benefit, like saving money, for example:
Affordable−Diamond−Rings.com – which as it happened was available when I
wrote this.
“OK, OK Affordable−Diamond−Rings.com is not the loudest screamer on the block”,
but you get the idea – use an implied benefit in the domain to get the surfers interest.
If your domain name is interesting, the surfer will click your listing (out of curiosity
more than anything else) which sends them to a page with good content and once
they’ve finished reading that you want them to leave your page via an Adsense ad.

more than anything else) which sends them to a page with good content and once
they’ve finished reading that you want them to leave your page via an Adsense ad.
4.2. Choose a good host
Hosting is not the big bad problem it was a few years ago. The rapid advancements in
technology have made it readily available, more reliable and it’s getting cheaper every
year.
For any website that earns money from Google Adsense ads, your biggest issue is going
to be one of cost. You’re not going to stop at one website… You’re going to build plenty
of them; after all they only take a day or two to build and upload, and can be earning an
income within days if you’ve chosen good keywords, but certainly within a few weeks if
you pursue an aggressive linking campaign.
The issue then is how many domains can you host on one hosting account?
Sure, you need to make sure the hosting company has generator backup in case of
power outages and redundant back−up systems so that in the event of an Internet
connection interruption, an alternate Internet connection takes over.
You also need to make sure you have adequate disk space and bandwidth, but the thing
to remember with Adsense sites is you aren’t letting people download big files; your
traffic is just people visiting your websites and if you use the minimum of graphics and
keep your logos small, your website won’t use much bandwidth at all.
Because most websites don't take up a lot of resources, some web hosts have decided
to offer top quality hosting packages which allow unlimited domains, for example the
Ultra Hosting package from Lock Vault Hosting. When you consider that most hosting
costs anywhere between $3.95 to $7.50 per website per month you don't have to be a
genius at math to realize hosting is a substantial cost, and unlimited domain hosting is
the way to go.

5. Bait The Search Engines
All it takes to get a search engine to your website is a link from another website that has
already been indexed. The more popular the website, the quicker the search engines will
come visiting. For example, a text link on a Google PR7 website will get your site
indexed on the same day, but that one way PR7 link is going to cost you a lot.
Another way is the blog and ping method, although this has been so abused that it’s not
quite as quick as before. It does have one major advantage… You can link to every
page on your website from a blog and ping the search engines with these details. By
blogging and pinging it’s possible to get all your pages indexed quicker than with other
methods.
No matter what method you use, it takes time to get every page of your website indexed
by all the major search engines… For the most part it doesn’t happen in one or two days
like some sales hype suggests.
So your options are:
Purchase text links (which point back to your web pages) on a popular website −
A popular website will have a high Google PR.
i.
ii. Place a link back to your website from one of your own indexed web pages.
Learn how to start a blog and create content with links back to your website then
ping the major search engines with your blog details. Even better, get a copy of
the Instant Blog and Ping automated software and you can set it up to mimic
your manual blogging and pinging saving you hours of time every day.
iii.
iv. Start an aggressive reciprocal linking campaign.

6. Explode Your Website’s Traffic
The amount of money you earn from the Google Adsense ads displayed on any of your
websites is dependent on many factors, but one of the most influential is the amount of
traffic your websites receive. The more traffic, the more money you earn…
It is possible to set up pay per click advertising campaigns which send traffic to your
websites and make a profit on the Adsense revenue. It may be possible, but it’s not easy
to find the right combination of cheap pay per click keywords and the best content for
displaying high paying Adsense ads. Costa Dedes figured out how to do it and if you're
interested you can read more about it in his ebook SwapClix.
By far the best method to increase your website traffic is to get hundreds or preferably
thousands of links pointing back to your website which serves you in two ways:
The increased number of links improves your website’s standing in the eyes of
the search engines and your pages rank higher.
i.
ii. You will get people visiting your website from clicking these links.
Two very effective ways of getting thousands of links pointing back to your website are:
As mentioned many times in this report, set up an aggressive reciprocal linking
campaign; get your link into as many reciprocal link directories as you can. It is
very important to ensure these directories are categorized, not only to facilitate
easy searching but your search engine optimization gets a slight boost if your link
appears on a page with links of similar themes.
Don't waste time creating a link directory which you have to manually update, use
a reciprocal linking script to automate many of the routine admin tasks which
would otherwise take up hours of your valuable time. Make sure the linking script
regularly checks that all reciprocal links in your directory are active and suspends
any inactive links.
One of the biggest issues with reciprocal linking is the time it takes to set up and
maintain an effective system. If you intend to get your website within the top ten
listings in any search engine you'll be wasting your time if you don't use analytical
tools to help you figure out why other websites rank higher than yours.
Brad Callen designed one such analytical tool called SEO Elite which not only
analyses top ranking websites so you can include it's findings in your own
websites, but you can set it up to find and contact thousands of top ranking
websites asking for a link to your website, saving you days if not weeks of time
and effort.

You can take this a step further if your income permits it, and employ somebody
to manage your reciprocal linking campaigns while you concentrate on building
more websites.
N.B. − Don't point all your links back to one page, the search engines don't like
that it's unnatural... A major part of your linking campaign should be to get
an even spread of links pointing back to all the major pages of your
website.
− Don't use the same anchor text (the clickable text in the link) for every link
pointing back to your website, use different variations for the anchor
text and link text (the text describing your website).
Write short 400 word articles from your PLR content, include a link to your
website in a resource box at the bottom of each article and submit them to as
many article directories as you can.
Using a low cost submission service like Article Marketer will save you not
hours, but days of effort. These articles ultimately find their way onto hundreds of
content websites and will substantially increase the number of links back to your
website.
The point to remember here is that your articles will only be accepted into an
article directory or for inclusion into a website if they are easy to read and make
sense. If you write and submit junk they will be rejected.
You goal is to write and submit at least seven articles the first week and then a
minimum of two articles per month.
Don't underestimate the power of well written articles for generating both links
and traffic to your websites.

AdsenseTips part 1
There are many ways to make money using the internet, and one excellent source of
passive income is to own high traffic websites which are monetized using GoogleAdsense. There are basically two ways of building such sites:
Find thousands of keywords related to a particular topic and use an automated
page generating program to build a website consisting of thousands of almost
identical pages, with each page being optimized for one keyword and including
your Google Adsense code.
The idea being when a person searching for information on a search engine ends
up at your website, the only thing of any use to them is the list of Google ads
which lead to other websites. When they click on one of the ads, you earn a
small commission.
The major problem with going this route is the search engines hate these
websites and drop them as soon as they find them. Because there is no useful
content on any of the web pages, people also really hate them and report them
as soon as they find them. The search engines don’t hang around and drop them
immediately.
This means your carefully created website has an extremely short life span, and
so you have to make hundreds of these web sites to make any real income. As
soon as a website is dropped you have to buy another domain name and put the
site back up under another name.
This is not a build it and forget it strategy so these websites cannot be a source
of passive income…
The more savvy webmasters are beginning to include more and more content in
an effort to keep their websites from being dropped so quickly by the search
engines.
Unfortunately the search engines are getting more intelligent and continue to find
these websites quicker and quicker…
i.
Find popular keywords related to a particular topic, which have little competition,
and build content websites around them which are designed to be informative
and supply useful content to human web visitors. The ideal scenario being that
visitors find your content so useful they bookmark the pages to return to read
more.
At some point the reader they will leave your site and using carefully positioned
Google Adsense code on each web page gives them a way to leave which puts
money in your pocket…
This report will concentrate on this second method and show you how to quickly build a
content website which is rapidly indexed by the search engines gets good rankings and
as a result earns you a passive income month after month.
This pic shows a fairly recent page of Google Adsense Stats for one of my content
websites which is based on a competitive theme. The site is not in the top 100 of Google
but has been earning an income of over $100 per month for more than a year despite
adding very little additional reciprocal links or new content.

1. Locate Money Making Private Label Rights Content
One of the most difficult parts of building any content website is writing the content; it’s a
laborious task. Hours of research followed by hours of writing (or typing). So why bother
doing it at all?
Are you aware that many authors who create information products also sell them with
Private Label Rights? And that in most cases these rights allow you to:
− Put your name as the author and sell the product as is.
− Modify the contents to your hearts desire.
− Use the contents in other formats.
− Use the contents in newsletters or websites.

Each information product creator who sells their product with Private Label Rights
will have their own ideas on how you can use their content.
Sometimes they don’t make it very obvious on the sales website or in the product, so
double check and make sure you have the right to use the product as content for your
website.
Another thing to be wary of is Private Label Rights content that is widely available; if
everybody has access to content there’s a pretty good chance there are hundreds of
websites using the content which will make your task of finding traffic generating
keywords all the more difficult. Besides, nothing annoys a web surfer more than
repeatedly coming across the same information.
Try to make sure you buy products with Private Label Rights that have been limited to
only a few customers and the fewer the better – The more unique your content the more
successful your website will be, especially if you get your Private Label Rights content
from Private Rights Success.
will have their own ideas on how you can use their content.
Sometimes they don’t make it very obvious on the sales website or in the product, so
double check and make sure you have the right to use the product as content for your
website.

2. Uncover Traffic Generating Keywords
The key to getting your website earning money quickly is to find keywords related to your
PLR (Private Label Rights) content that people regularly type into search engines, but for
which there is not much competition.
All it takes is a bit of concerted effort using the proper tools… For the small cost of using
it, WordTracker is the most powerful keyword research tool available on the internet,
and the accurate data it produces is vital for your website’s success.
Using WordTracker you need to uncover these three important bits of information:
What keywords related to your PLR content are people typing into search
engines?
i.
How many searches are conducted for these keywords each month?
If you are trying to get this information using free research utilities, the first thing
you are going to notice is the huge discrepancy between their search results and
WordTracker’s results. This is because the method WordTracker uses to get its
search results tends to make the information much closer to reality than the
methods the others use.
ii.
How many competing web pages for each keyword are there in Google?
Why Google?
Because nearly everybody tries to get their web pages indexed by Google so if
there’s not much competition in Google, chances are there’s going to be less
competition on any of the other search engines.
iii.
During the keyword research phase it’s a good idea to get rid of keywords which are
included within other keyword phrases. For example, let’s assume you conducted
keyword research on the topic “diamond jewelry” and among others these 3 keywords
were part of your Wordtracker results:
− Diamond
− Diamond Ring
− 3 Stone Diamond Ring

keyword research on the topic “diamond jewelry” and among others these 3 keywords
were part of your Wordtracker results:
− Diamond
− Diamond Ring
− 3 Stone Diamond Ring
The first keyword “Diamond” is present in all three phrases, so you can delete it leaving:
− Diamond Ring
− 3 Stone Diamond Ring
The keyword “Diamond Ring” is present in both, so you can delete it leaving:
− 3 Stone diamond Ring
This is the keyword phrase for which you will create a webpage. Depending on how well
your website is ranked in the search engines, a search for any of the three phrases will
display the results for the 3 Stone Diamond Ring webpage.
Why must you do this? There are many reasons "why", but two of the most important
points to consider are:
Of the three keyword phrases there will be much less competition for “3 Stone
Diamond Ring” and you have a much better chance of getting a high search
engine ranking for a web page built around that keyword phrase.
Granted the traffic for that keyword is the lowest of the three, but optimizing your
webpage around this keyword gives you a much better chance of getting traffic
as soon as your page is indexed by the search engines.
Part of your promotion efforts should include an aggressive linking campaign,
and as soon as this kicks in you will get better rankings for the more competitive
keywords and start receiving traffic from those keywords.
i.
It’s a real pain trying to create content for two or three almost identical keywords
and unless you’re careful, the resulting pages will be far too similar for the search
engine’s liking. The programming they use to rank your website will penalize any
pages that are too similar and they will be dropped (i.e. they will never be
included in any results).

3. How to Build Your Adsense Website
There is no "best way" to build a website that uses Google Adsense to earn money...
The best way in your particular circumstances can only be found by testing various
different ideas and choosing the most profitable. Obviously you need a starting point and
so here are a few ideas to get you going:
3.1. Select the best keywords and make website map
There are three ways of getting visitors to your website, and the method you choose has
a great bearing on which keywords you should select for building your website:
Pay for your website traffic.
You could purchase links on a highly trafficked webpage or you could set up a
pay per click campaign on those search engines which offer them.
If you go this route you don’t need to worry about which keywords you use at all,
but you’d better know how to set up an effective pay per click campaign…
i.
Use Low competition keywords and simple SEO.
If you aren’t interested in paying for traffic and don’t have the time to pursue an
aggressive linking campaign, your best option is to use low competition keywords
and simple website search engine optimization.
When choosing your keywords, bear in mind that most low competition keywords
are also low traffic keywords, and you will need roughly 100 visitors per day to a
webpage to earn $5.00 from the Google Adsense ads (NB − this is a ballpark
figure to help you choose keywords with enough traffic, by the very nature of the
internet, some web pages will do better, some worse and there will even be
those that don’t earn a thing).
ii.
Use High competition keywords, simple SEO and aggressive linking.
In general, the more links you have pointing to a web page from other websites,
the higher it will rank in a search engine for the keywords the web page is based
on.
By pursuing an aggressive reciprocal linking campaign, it is quite possible to get
top search engine rankings for keywords which have a fair amount of
competition. In fact some webmasters have managed to get top 10 rankings for
some of the most competitive keywords, but their incoming links number in the
thousands requiring a huge effort.

The bottom line is the more competitive the keyword you choose, the more
aggressive your reciprocal linking campaign will have to be.
There is another massive benefit from an aggressive reciprocal linking
campaign… You will receive considerable traffic from people clicking on the links
that you place in the link directories of other websites. Don't discount the value of
these links − for quite some time you'll get more traffic from these links than from
the search engines.
3.2. Prepare a website template.
Using a template will considerably increase the speed it takes to put your website
together. Here are a few tips for preparing a template which will maximize your Google
Adsense earnings:
− Make minimal use of graphics, a simple header graphic is all you need.
− Placing your Adsense ads down the left hand side of your webpage, your content in
the middle and your menu either on the right hand side or on the bottom of the page,
will earn a pretty respectable Adsense income, but if you want to know the best
way to place your Google Adsense code you need to read Joel Comm's recently
updated Google Adsense Secrets.
− Use the following place tags in your template to indicate where to place your content:
aggressive your reciprocal linking campaign will have to be.

− Use the following place tags in your template to indicate where to place your content:
<!−− Content Start −−>
<!−− Content End −−>
− Use a simple text based menu. Search engines find it difficult to read graphic
based links. The menu links should be text based and include your keyword phrases.
To make a website map, simply take your list of chosen keywords and place them into
the most logical order possible − Look at it from the viewpoint of somebody searching for
information.
For example, at the time I wrote this, the following keyword phrases all had less than
1000 competing pages but a "Count" of more than 100:
− 3 Stone Diamond Ring
− Cheap Engagement Rings
− Diamond Solitare Engagement Rings
− Alternatives to Diamond Rings
− Three Stone Diamond Necklace
− Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaners
<!−− Content End −−>

The second and third phrases could be combined and resulting keyword list used to
create a website map (and from that your website menu) as follows:
Keyword/Menu Item Web Page Name
Home Page index.html
3 Stone Diamond Ring 3−stone−diamond−ring.html

Alternatives to Diamond Rings alternatives−to−diamond−rings.html
Three Stone Diamond Necklace three−stone−diamond−necklace.html
Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaners ultrasonic−jewelry−cleaners.html

3.3. Choose content for each web page
The content on a website that uses Google Adsense for revenue serves two main
purposes:
It determines which Adsense ads will be displayed... If you optimize each web
page for a particular keyword and use content to support the keyword, Google
Adsense will display ads which are exactly the same as the theme of the page.
If you choose keywords that have a high value on pay per click search engines,
chances are you will earn a pretty good income from each Adsense ad clicked on
your web pages.
i.
It must be just good enough to keep your visitors from reporting your site to the
search engines as spam, but not so good that your visitor avidly reads the page,
maybe clicks to a few more pages to read them and then closes the browser
window when they are finished.
ii.
The primary objective of each web page is to get your visitor to click on an
Adsense ad so they can get more information. Remember this − you only get
paid when they click on an Adsense ad…
If your website earns you a reasonable Adsense income and also gets a few
bookmarks every month, you've got the balance right.
If you want to sell the private label rights content in e−book form, sell it from a popup that
opens when each web page is closed, or dedicate the first page to selling only the
e−book. Don't confuse your website visitors by trying to sell the e−book and display
Adsense ads.

If you have decided to target many keywords by creating a large number of pages, you
may be limited by the amount of private label rights content you have. All you have to do
in this case is create each page using paraphrased content from the e−book and a
related article from any of the major article directories, e.g.
may be limited by the amount of private label rights content you have. All you have to do
in this case is create each page using paraphrased content from the e−book and a
related article from any of the major article directories, e.g.
− www.goarticles.com
− www.ezinearticles.com
− www.ezinearticles.com
You will have to introduce each article with some text which includes your keywords, just
make it sound natural.
You could place another Google Adsense block between the paraphrased PLR content
and the articles. The only purpose of the articles is to pad out your content to keep both
the search engines and your website visitors happy.
3.4. Optimize your web pages for the search engines
These are no black secrets involved in search engine optimization… All you need to do
is employ a few simple, sensible tips when building each web page, and these are to use
your keyword phrase as follows:
1) Once in the <title></title> tags
2) Once in the description meta tags
3) Once in the keywords meta tags
4) Once in the <h1></h1> header tags
5) Twice in the first paragraph, with the first being in the first sentence and one of them
being in bold letters (<b></b> tags).
6) At least once in each following paragraph.
7) Once in an <img alt=””> tag
Don’t overdo it; you’ve got nothing to gain by repeating your keyword phrase too many
times. All you are doing is making absolutely certain that the search engines know
exactly what your web page is all about.
A simple test for this is to check what Google Adsense ads are displayed when you view
the web page online (you might have to refresh the page the first time you view it before
the ads show). If the ad content matches the theme of the web page you’ve got it right.
