Monetizing a Site Through AdSense

There is a lot of misconception about Google AdSense; many marketers see it as one of the most rudimentary ways to monetize your site. As such many markets prefer to build affiliate sites, spend an age writing sales driven content, building email lists to try and sell on the back end, but the most important aspect of getting the sale is completely taking out of their hands, once you send traffic to the merchant they are the ones you have to rely on to push your traffic through their checkout page. If the merchant you are promoting has a poor sales funnel you will suffer.
This is not the case with AdSense, once you get the click then your job is done and your money is in the bank of Google.
When you build a site around AdSense in many ways it’s different to that of an affiliate site.  The perfect traffic for an AdSense site is click happy information hungry searchers. This is not the case for an affiliate site, most affiliates will target traffic that are close to making a purchase and hopefully they are just looking for some final reassurances that the product they plan to buy will meet their needs. These typical searches can include “reviews” “best price” or one of favourites is “warranty” for instance how long is the warranty on a Sony camcorder. As you can imagine these keywords get a tiny amount of searches every month but they are super targeted and can lead to the highest conversions.
If you target these types of searches with an AdSense site you may not get enough traffic to make the site pay and as the searchers have a very specific goal you will often find that they are unwilling to click on your ad.

Choosing your keywords and finding a click happy market

The most important thing to remember about an AdSense site is that it’s a numbers game, in every part of it you want to have the numbers on your side, ideally the more the better.
Keeping the numbers on your side starts with the keyword research, you want to try and find between 5 and 10 possible candidates.  The same rules apply as always, use Google’s keyword tool, try and find keywords with a minimum of 2500 searches and months, with a CPC of at least .50 cents ( remember this is split between you again Google, 60:40 in your favour). If you have tools like Market Samurai or Micro Niche finder, use them! they will make this process so much easier

Now to find if any of these keywords have click happy searchers

Knowing that you are entering a market that has potential to be profitable for you is a great incentive to drive on and make it work. To try and take as much guess work out of this as possible you will need to do quite a lot of ground work. You may be putting a lot of work in now with little reward, but it’s better to do it now than to spend 6 months working on a site with little or nothing to show at the end.
The best way I have found to test the potential of a new niche is to write an article on all of your chosen keywords and submit them to ezinearticles. (Note: as we have not registered any domains yet, you will need to link your biobox to some other site), It may sound strange to be doing this but there is method in the madness and there are 2 good reasons, firstly ezinearticles has the ability to rank highly for your keyword, giving you an indication of how tough the competition is and after about a month you will have an idea of which keyword has the best potential. Just look for the article that has the highest CTR (click through rate).  Because they have clicked your link, they are hungry to learn more and are willing to click on your link.

Building Your Site

Now it’s back to the numbers game, you need as many articles as possible for your new site, more articles means more searchers which will mean more clicks. Each article you write should back up the main theme of your site but focus on a slightly different key phrase.
Another important aspect of the articles you write is to try and build in some relative or related keywords into each article, doing this will give you a better chance of attracting more long tail searches. If your site is about remote control helicopters, try to work in some brand names, “how to fix” or any keywords that would make sense, a lot of information based searches are based around asking a question like “how do I fix my broken Helicopter” if you can build this into your copy you will have a great chance of ranking for these types of searches. In most cases when you write the article you will be doing this anyway, this technique is commonly known as LSI or latent semantic indexing.
The length of the article will really depend on your own preferences but I prefer to write pretty meaty articles, anything up to 1500 words. I do this for 2 reasons, I can easily target a lot more potential long tails and I can hit the reader with 3 different ad boxes as they scroll down the page.  Getting ads clicked in the very top ad box will usually yield the biggest CPC, but if you miss your chance here, hitting them a second and third time will treble your chances of getting your ad clicked.

Link building

The same rules apply here, but there is one thing I have found with my AdSense sites and that is they can attract natural links more easily. I think in part it’s because of the articles I write help to answer a question but also, AdSense sites are less conspicuous compared to affiliates sites and people are more willing to link to them.
AdSense is really underrated as a viable way to monetize your site, I believe many people turn to it as a last option when all their affiliate offers fail and because the site was not built for AdSense most times these sites will under preform leaving the owner bemused with the miserable amount of money they are making.

Strategy Awesome Earn 3000 – 5000 Per Month Via AdSense

Earn $3000 – $5000 Per Month Via AdSense

Though there are many secret strategies to earn money from AdSense, this strategy is my favorite. I have not invested my time in making this kind of blog, but still might try it in future with my team’s help. This simple trick works with few basic rules of creativity, blogging and networking. Okay! Enough of suspense! Now I’ll come to the point straight away.
Did you ever click on Facebook memes and troll images which will redirect to a personal website? Possibly yes! and if you are an active member in Facebook, then you might have surely checked hundreds of Facebook pages with millions of likes and comments.  So how do they get some many likes and comments on each of their published blog post? And what this has to do with AdSense earnings? That’s what we are here to discuss.

Funny picture blogs and websites earn so much of money in a month, which is quite impossible to earn from a tech blog in an year. And remember that every blog which has funny pictures doesn’t make money. You need a solid blue print on your table to compete with a blog like 9gag, Damnlol, lolhappens and etc. These blogs make a ton of money, which is quite impossible to beat down initially.
All these blogs and website run with a simple concept called “Facebook Fan Page”. So there is no SEO involved in ranking a website. So if you know the important SEO factors and simple blogging basics, then you are the king. These websites create custom memes, funny pictures, and other applications, which drive thousands of likes in just couple of days. It’s quite simple to set up a blog like Damnlol, but the difficult part is to maintain it consistently. Fortunately there is very little competition from search engines, but what makes your work much difficult is the Facebook likes and fans.
I have spent more than a month to research about this strategy and here it is straight away. I’m sharing you my secret solid research plan, which might help you to make huge money from AdSense. But proceed to read only if you are spending over 18 – 20 hours a day initially. This strategy is not a one man army game, so do involve yourself in partnerships and collaborations.

My Research Strategy on Earning Huge AdSense Income:

I’m listing down the strategy step by step, so that you can exactly repeat the same in future. This solid plan doesn’t depend on luck! It depends on pure hard work, creativity and time sense. So here we are,
Keyword Research:
Without checking the below screenshot, you have to tell me what would be the rough CPC of “Funny Pictures”. Guessing somewhere around Rs.50 right? Well, you have to see the screenshot now! It’s freaking Rs. 2,700 ($42) per click. But not all keywords will fetch you that amount!

I use only Long Tail Pro Keyword research to find my high CPC keywords. It’s simple, straight, and affordable. Trust my words, Long Tail Pro will be one awesome keyword tool which you ever buy in your life. Spencer Haws was humble enough to offer Long Tail Pro at a discounted price of $67 for SEOSiren users. (This link is my affiliate link, which might help me to write more awesome posts in SEOSiren)
So if you observe the first keyword  in the above screenshot, you might see that “Funny Plumbing Pictures” has a lot of money involved with your AdSense account. But this is not correct always. You might get very less/more than what you see here. But still anything more than $20 is an awesome keyword in my view. Check out few other keywords in the list. Each one of these keywords are so tempting, that anyone could fall for making a website. But wait! There is a proper way of doing it.
I found so many high CPC and low competition keywords in funny pictures niche. In above screenshot, you can see only 10% of actual high CPC keywords from AdSense. There are many more gold nuggets like this, but wait! What will you research if I tell your everything? So find them yourself. Also don’t forget to take a look at the local monthly keywords while researching.
Understand the Competition:
You have to understand the competition to pick the right keywords. Fortunately there is a lot of money involved in “Funny Plumbing Pictures” keyword, which surprisingly have low competition in Google. Check out the below screenshot for Page Authority, Juice Page and Page Rank.

This particular keyword has so less competition, that you might require only couple of months to rank your keyword. According to Spencer Haws and Pat Flynn, any webpage with less than 30 page authority is damn easy to compete. Also the average of all combined page ranks shouldn’t be more than 2%. So if you combine all the page rank totals of these 10 pages to take an average, it comes to 0.3 % only. Wow! this keyword is a utter loot for any experienced SEO blogger or niche marketer.
Use Long Tail Pro to dig out the 10 top keywords with less competition and high CPC. It will take a lot of your time to research low competition keywords via Google Keyword Planner, so understand the point that you have invest your money in something or the other initially.
Website Structure:
Once you have these keywords in hand, make sure to immediately start a blog in Blogspot.com. You should never make a blog on WordPress, as the freaking traffic of this niche will blow of your server in just couple of days. Initially you cannot afford VPS or high end servers to host a high traffic website via WordPress. So go with blogger.com with zero investment on hosting and maintenance.
Make sure to register a 50% Exact Match Domain with your keyword, but never go with 100% exact match domain. So if I consider my keyword to be “Funny Plumbing Pictures”, then I have to make sure it is not FunnyPlumbingPictures.com. Get some similar domain name with little keyword optimization, and redirect to your blogspot blog.
Now create categories or archives in your blogspot and name them with your seed keywords. Also make sure to add proper meta titles and descriptions whenever necessary. I leave the SEO part, so that you can learn something about SEO yourself.
Now make sure you are posting at least 50 to 100 blog posts per day, with Facebook comment system enabled on each post you publish. This is very important, as people tend to post their Facebook comments on wall too.
Producing Content:
Aha! This is where we all lose our heart to maintain a funny blog. Creating content for these kinda blogs is extremely difficult, as you have to be very creative and funny. The images which you see in Damnlol, 9Gag are custom made memes, which generate millions of views every day. You should have a dedicated graphic designer to make your own memes, but for now you can rip off the images from various sources.

I found out few simple ways to rip of the data for your blog. The first one is via browsing each and every torrent site on earth for funny pictures, and second one is stealing images form other Facebook fan pages and groups. There are many automatic bulk image downloading software’s in market. Grab one for time being, and start pulling out the content whenever possible.
Also make sure  if you have selected the “Funny Plumbing Pictures” niche, make sure you got every picture on earth related to it. This way people will jump into your site from Google. But make sure you are entertaining your Facebook fans via other images. These images need not be on your website, but make sure to design yourself in future. Because Google hates duplication, and even Images are considered to be plagiarized.
Some people use URL watermarks on their images, which is probably the most stupidest idea to grow as a brand. You should never put URL watermarks on your images. Make a custom logo, and then stamp it on your images with 70% transparency.
Monetizing Your Blog: 
So far AdSense is the best method to monetize your blog in these kind of websites. But remember that AdSense will not approve your account for picture blogs that easily. If you have already have an AdSense account, than well and good. If not you can get your Adsense in just 3 days.
When monetizing your blog with AdSense, make sure to wait for couple of months to gain trust, traffic and likeability from your users. Without proper user base, its impossible to earn money from AdSense. So initial base plan is to get more and more Facebook users onto your website.
After a profitable user base, make sure to install 2 large rectangle (336 x 280) AdSense units. You can also install 728 x 90 Leader board in the header part, but make sure there are no much ads in the above fold.
Engaging Users:
You have to post minimum 250 to 300 images each day on your Facebook fan pages to the engage users. Do whatever necessary like tagging your friends, making fake profiles, requesting people, and so on. But make sure to get at least 1000 to 2000 likes per day. Now that’s where you have to put your mind on. I really can’t help you in getting massive likes, because it is you who have to figure it out.
Always make sure to get US traffic which has more CPC and engagement. Focus on current issues like Miley Cyrus Twerking, Justin beiber, so on to get people’s attention. People love to be funny, so take their complete advantage to build your business.
Rinse & Repeat:
You have to repeat these steps to find more and more keywords in future. Make sure to add all these high CPC keywords in your blog somewhere. Make it an authority site, and never let people know where you are getting the content from.
Never lose your heart in making an authority site. God has not created 9Gag, Damnlol and other awesome websites. It always you who should take the initiative to start something different and converting. Though this technique is not taken seriously by many popular bloggers, its still a easy way to earn potential money out of your happiness and creativity. I hope this article will help you to make your own online business. Stay focused an keep asking your queries. Happy Earnings!
