Three of the Most Important Tools for Adsense Success

I don't like to buy internet marketing products. Any of them. It's against my nature. If there's something necessary to get the job done, I can usually find it for free. Free is good, I like free. But there comes to a point in your business you need to get more done faster and keep up with the competition. These 3 tools have caught my attention with wide eyes. They cut my work load drastically and now i have so much more time to play! and isn't that the point after all?

First and foremost when building sites for adsense revenue, you need a great web host, the cheapest you can find, because you will be building ALOT of web sites on your path to adsense success.

Any adsense publisher knows you need the right keywords. Target the wrong keywords and your sunk, either people wont find your site, or they will pay so little you will never make money. Thats why Keyword Niches are so important now. The market is saturated for almost any keyword that pays. Its TOO important to do your research before you build anything.

#2) KEYWORD NICHE REPORT - Free Download
If you've ever built a website targeting a specific niche, then waited, and waited... and waited for traffic, you are among many new internet marketers.

"Need Quality Content faster?"
You've read that headline before and I know you're saying... article rewriters are just plain junk. I tried every article spinner out there and hated every single one (even this one). They spit out completely unreadable content, totally useless. It was faster to rewrite the article manually. I didn't like the idea of stealing another persons work either.

But then something opened my eyes, real fast. I was taught how to get massive traffic to your website with articles. I had already been writing and distributing articles for a while and getting some traffic and back links, but picked up a very important new-for-2007 tip. Duplicate content. I'm sure you've heard this, or know it already, but keep reading...

Duplicate content can ruin you in Google, even if its YOUR original content. I was doing it all wrong! I was writing an article, posting it on my website, then submitting the same article to all of the article submission site. Duplicate content everywhere.

I learned that you have to write a copy of your own, and distribute revised versions, at least 30% different than the original. The search engines love fresh content, the article directories love it too, and traffic will flow. It was time to find an article rewriter that worked, because I was NOT doing this all manually.

#3) Quality Content Faster
I was reintroduced to version 2.0 of ContentSolution. Completely revamped and totally powerful. I've tried the first version of this software and absolutely hated it. When I found a one month trial of the fully functional software, I was so excited to see the changes they made. This baby really works! And was the answer to my next step in being successful with adsense.

Keyword Niche Optimization - Incredible Free Report

If you've ever built a website targeting a specific niche, then waited, and waited... and waited for traffic, you are among many new internet marketers. I've been doing keyword research and building websites for years. I recently built two new sites with adsense and promoted like crazy then waited for my traffic to pour in. Well, you know what happened. My niches were too large.

Watch the video on this site and download the free report. It shows you EXACTLY how to research keywords the right way to find profitable niches that actually show up on search engines, and showed me exactly what I was doing wrong.

I've never seen a keyword optimizer as powerful as this:



How do you research your niches?

Do you "go with your passions", or look for the ones with the highest search count on Overture (or Wordtracker)? Or, perhaps, do you look for ones with little competition?

If so, and you are not already making a decent income from Adsense or affiliate programs, you should probably re-think the way you do your research.

I have just reviewed a report called "A Simple, Step-By-Step Formula to Uncover Red-Hot Niches" that tells you how the author, Myleena Phan, makes a living online by finding profitable niches, on which to build her websites.

At first, I was surprised to learn that Myleena doesn't have hundreds of websites.

In fact, she has only 36 sites, and each one of them is making an average of $15 per day. That doesn't sound like much, but it doesn't take long to realize how it can all add up to over $15,000 per month. Talk about effectiveness!

Myleena she says her secret is not unusually high traffic, nor sneaky SEO tactics, but how she chooses the topics of her sites.

In her free report, she explains how she first starts with a broad idea, puts it into the free Overture Keyword Suggestion tool, and analyzes sub-keywords until she finds "the" golden nugget.

She says that finding a profitable niche is not about luck, nor finding keywords with hundreds of thousands of searches per month, but about starting with a big list and eliminating counter-productive topics until you are left with the best.

What I like the most about the report is that it gives you a systematic approach to niche hunting. Not only will you learn how to use a set of filters to select your niches, but also WHY and HOW you should do it.

It's not a "trust me, it works" method as you will learn the whole logic behind the system. You don't have to take my word for it - you can see for yourself by downloading it now!

By the way, the report is absolutely free to download. But you must act fast before she comes to her senses and decides to sell it!

Free or paid web hosting?

Just finished your first website? So its the time to look for some hosting and make a choice. Your first qustion probably will be whether to choose free or paid hosting service. Lets have a look at some advantages and disadvantages of these solutions.

Free web hosting:
(+) Its for free. You dont need to pay for domain name.
(-) Your URL will be something like http://username.freehost.com or http://freehost.com/username. As I noticed above, the advantage is that you dont need to pay for domain. But note that if you move your website to another provider in the future you can loose some or all your traffic (there are some solutions how to solve this problem but it is not the point of this article).
(-) Your provider will probably include ads to your pages - usually 1 or 2 banners, sometimes popup windows. If you plan to use banner exchange on your site read carefully their Terms and conditions. Some free hosts doesnt allow it.
(-) Free hosts usually allow lower bandwith then paid hosts and a lot of them dont offer futures like PHP and MySQL.
(-) A lot of free hosts change their Terms and conditions during some time. If your free host offers hosting wihtout ads now, dont be surprised when banner or popup appears on your site in the future.
(-) Sometimes happens that free hosts cancel their free service and longer offer paid hosting only. In this case you have only 2 choises - pay them or loose your website.


Paid web hosting:
(+) You can host your own domain. If you decide to change the web hosting provider in the future, you easily transfer the domain to the new provider and dont loose your traffic.
(+) Most paid hosts offer 24/7 support via email or live chat and some of them provide toll-free phone support.
(+) You can expect better uptime then on free host. Some paid hosts offer uptime guarantee.
(+) Paid hosts usually offer enough disk space and bandwith. Futures like PHP and MySQL are standard. Even if you are not programmer you can download plenty of free PHP scripts from internet.
(-) Paid hosting coast money :o)


Before you make the decision if choose free or paid host you should answer this question: How big ambitions do I have with my website? If you are starting small personal page for your friends consist of a few *.html files then free host will be sufficient. In case you plan to run serious business website, need PHP, database and dont want ads on the site I recommend to look for quality paid host.

Here is my personal favorite webhosting company that offers 1 low payment for an entire lifetime hosting account. No monthly payments. Its almost as good as free hosting. www.1webhosting4life.com

Googles BROKEN!

Many internet marketers and google adwords users are scratching their heads wondering how to go on with a game plan. The google keyword tool gives cost and placement estimates per keyword. It's kind of a crucial tool that Ive been using and am finding it difficult to live without. How do you estimate how much you're going to pay per click? How do you find low cost clicks to base your ads on. I emailed google from the support inside my account. I dont expect an answer but its worth a shot.

I've looked everywhere, but it seems the only people talking about this issue are members of the digital point forums where I found out that, some of overture's (yahoo) tools are broken as well. coincidence?

I checked Out Matt Cutts blog. Matt cut "joined Google as a software engineer in January 2000" if anyone would know he would, but theres NOTHING posted on his blog about it! Maybe its hush hush. but so many people are cut off from the tools they need to survive on the internet.

One more note, the keword suggestion tool on seobook has also been down for quite a while. This tool shows how many people searched for a keyword per month. Results show for google, yahoo and msn, and the tool links to overture, google suggest, and googles external keyword tool.

These guys are on top of things. If they're not tellin i want to know what the hecks goin on!?

Pipeline Profits Launch Botched

Pipeline Profits, the newest to come from stomper member was very promising, and I think we all expected the launch to be as big a hit as stomper. Pipeline Profits was a heft course to teach you the ins and outs of coregistration. A method of listbuilding/internet marketing not for the feint of heart.

From what I understand of coregistration (having never done it) is that you find a list broker, and purchase leads from the list. At .05-.85 cents a piece, you must be careful of which coreg service you go with, that your email copy and that your website converts well. If you dont know what you're doing, you could potentially spend ALOT of money with very little return.

The creators of Pipeline Profits had been through it all, and made the course to help people avoid the pitfalls of coregistration. It all looked fine and dandy until shortly after launch. They rescinded their 360 day policy to 30 days, the print material would be 15-20 days later than expected and online accounts were shut down with no notice.

You can never tell what's going on 'on the other side' nobody knows what problems they were having but the word on the street is that support was very much lacking, and they were extremely quick to offer refund to people who had compliants.

A friend that actually shelled out his hard earned cash for the course has his own story to tell about the botched launch. Follow through his experience on his blog

Holy Cow - 1.5 Million Visitors? $500k/mo?

I don't know how they do it. but they do. I just read a sales page from Ewen Chia, Jo Han Mok and Simon Hodgkinson. I don't know if you've ever heard of them, but they're huge in internet marketing. They got 1.5 million visitors for one of their product promotions, and the made some SERIOUS MONEY. With that many visitors, you cant NOT make money but we're talking in the neighborhood of $500,000 a month. It makes me dizzy thinking about it.

I wish I could sit down with one of these guys and make them answer this question, what the HECK are you DOING??? Because I've been trying to get visitors like its no tomorrow, and there's definitely something I'm missing.

I guess I'm going to get my chance, because they're having a teleseminar class that is going to explain the ONLY real 3 ways to get traffic online. I looks damn good. Not a bunch of b.s. that doesn't work or takes forever. And these guys know from experience. So I'm droppin $20 bucks of my hard earned cash, cuz i think its gonna be worth it. If you' re wondering too and would like to join me, Id love the company.

Heres their intro page that leads to more info on the seminar.

See ya there! :)

What is Monthly Web Hosting Costing You?

Im going to be upfront with you. There’s something I think you should buy. By the end of this post, I think you might agree. I make a ton of websites. I have dozens of domain names and my need for web hosting is enormous. If you’re reading this blog because you love to create websites, I want to share with you the web host I use to do this all with, and the steal I got my hosting for...

Web hosting companies charge a monthly fee to host your files on their server. It can be as low as $4.95 a month and I’ve seen some as high as $29 a month and up for large packages. Cost usually determines which package you choose. The more you pay, the more you get (web space, domain names, bandwidth).

As your website grows it will require more space and bandwidth, and you’ll need to upgrade your services. If you’ve ever exceeded your bandwidth you know how frustrating it is to have to pay more because your website did what it was supposed to, and attracted more activity than you paid for.

Consider a lifetime web hosting company. You will receive a web hosting account with a one time fee only. Combine one payment lifetime hosting with unlimited features and you have a total winner. All of the features such as bandwidth, add on domain names, subdomains, MySQL databases with Fantastico (for quick blogs, forums, life support, sitebuilders) are unlimited.

This Web Hosting Company gives you everything a large monthly package gives you - for a one time fee. With 6GBs of space you’ll most likely never need to upgrade and never exceed your bandwidth, even with the highest traffic sites. Compare the difference between monthly hosting and lifetime hosting:

Let’s do a 3 Year Cost Comparison for the webhost that is Ranked #1 in Google right now (Fortune City)

Monthly Hosting at the lowest payment:
@ $4.95/month or $54.45/year – in 3 years will cost $163.35, plus domain name renewal (1^st year included $8.95 for year 2 and 3) for a total of $181.25

For a larger package most comparable
to the lifetime hosting package:
@ $29.95/month or $329.95/yr – in 3 years will cost $898.20, plus domain renewal ($8.95/year) for a total of $1007.75

Unlimited Lifetime Hosting
Current one time payment $114 + $6.99 for domain name you control = $120.99 upfront plus $6.99 yearly to renew your domain name. total = $134.97

WOW. Can you see the advantage of using this service in cost alone?

What’s RIGHT and WRONG about the Most Popular Adsense Tips

AdSense is a great way to make money with your websites. It’s very easy to implement and with enough practice (or the right tips) and enough good traffic you can do pretty well. With the right placement and keywords, even minimal traffic can do well.

The absolute number one key to making money with AdSense is DRIVING TRAFFIC to your website. This is where the big AdSense money comes in. BUT, you have to build a GREAT site first.

Of course there’s a few guidelines to follow before even beginning to build your web site, first being Googles AdSense Policies - this is a must.

ADSENSE TIP #1
Make sure that your adblocks blend with your site.
Very Important. The internet is full of junk and advertising. When surfers are looking for information they instinctively look away, skipping over advertisements to find what they came for. It’s actually been termed “Banner Blindness”. Flashing, blinking, blinding websites are a thing of the past as marketers learn that virtual shouting doesnt work, as people are covering their ears (or eyes in this case). Basically, your visitors will skip right over the ads if done incorrectly.

Adblocks that work the best for me are 336×280, or one of the square blocks inserted near a few other links and close to your main text.

Here’s the page layout that continually works best for me:

I put my navigation down the left side, put my h1 header above the adblock and a general image to the right of the adblock, and put this smack dab under the header of my site, in plain view.

Fonts on your site should be similar in size and color.
Important in helping adblocks blend with your site. I make css styles that match the ads to use for all other content and links on my site. They will never always perfectly match, as google expiriments by serving 2 or 3 ads in a 4 block, the text of the ads get bigger. So its not perfect, but it does well. Since we have no control over what google does, we make due.

Match the border color and background color
Matching adsense to the background color on your web page is extremely important. I try to’hide’ the border by matching colors.

You may also want to experiment with text ads and image ads. You can choose on or the other, or both.

COMMON MISCONCEPTION:

Match also the title, text and url colors to the ones you are using on your page.
If your logo and headlines are green, make your title the same green. If your text is gray, match this gray, and if your links are blue, match the same blue.

No Way!!! I changed my ads to adhere to this tip. I made all of my ad titles blue because everyone says to use blue. My initial reaction was, EEW! but I left it for a few days to see if they were right. When I tried this, my clickthroughs plummeted!!!!

Here’s the color scheme I use on ALL of my adblocks, and my clickthroughs went right back to where they were before, EVEN THOUGH my navigation links are blue.

Border: White (ffffff) (as most of my pages have a white background
Title: Gray (7f7f7f)
Background: White (ffffff)
Text: Black (000000)
URL: Blue (003399)

I save this in a custom palette called ‘plain’ and its easily accessible every time I need to insert my code. I use channels and php includes to test quickly.

ADSENSE TIP #2
Keep your adblocks “Above the Fold”.
By above the fold, I mean visible on your website without having to scroll down. Your ads should be in a place where people will look. When I started out I was just playing with one of my sites, I had adsense at the bottom of my page. When I moved it to the top, I started to see some action. This definitely works.

Tower ads outdated?
We tend to scan a page top to bottom, from left to right, unless something interesting catches our eye. It would make common sense that the tower placement off to the right side of your text would work well. As a viewer reaches the end of a line, it’s a good place for their eye to rest. If an ad is close by, it’s more likely to catch a viewers eye.

A lot of other people have had luck with this layout. I never have. I think people are getting used to this type of ad placement and are trained to completely ignore it. You may have a site it works well on. Try it and see if it works for you. Leave a comment if you think that Im completely wrong.

Google allows you up to 3 adblocks, and 1 linkblock on a page. I believe its better to keep it simple and just use 1 adblock above the fold.

I’ve completely abandoned linkblocks (horizontal and vertical) because even though they get clicked, in my experience they barely pay. I also think they’re kinda sneaky, even for google. They LOOK like navigation. A visitor who doesnt know about adsense, thinks theyre going to another page of your site and end up off of your site with pages of other options. I dont see the sense in that. Keep them on your site, clicking YOUR ads.

If you want to make sites with an adsense income potential, you’ll need more than one. Preferably MANY more. As many as you can think of.

If this is your goal, find a web host that offers alot of space and unlimited add on domains. If you build 100 sites each with different domain names, you don't want to host with 100 different web hosts. That could get quite expensive.

Heres the web host I use that offers unlimited add on domains. You can purchase a cheap domain names and direct them to your published sites. It’s a MUST HAVE when creating many sites.

Desperate Buyers Only - By Alexis Dawes

This woman KNOWS what shes doing. Alexis Dawes writes very short information reports (6-12 pages!) targeted for people who need inside help NOW. She does great with these inexpensive little reports and she barely has to market them to get them sold.

She's an extremely good writer, You'll see why... Go to her sales page even if only to read her sales copy and get a few ideas.
Check Out Her Page Here.


Here's part of an review from EPublishing Daily
...steps you through the process of finding desperate buyers for your information products. [about] writing niche products that triggers a buying response from a prospect in desperate need of finding an answer(s) to a problem.

Alexis writes in a such a natural and personal way (there’s a My Story page or two there) that puts you at ease immediately upon reading it. She flows naturally into her topics.

Her casual writing style as seen by her use of creative headlines and subheadlines might take a short while to get used to, but if you have read some of the dreary stuff out there on the market you’ll soon appreciate it. As a sample chapter heading: How to Eat an Entire Army of Competitors for Breakfast and Still Come Out Smelling Like a Rose...

She dispels a lot of myths about seeking out topics - which is really refreshing I must say. She’s not afraid to say how it really is - there’s no sugar-coating here guys and girls...

The author has a philosophy that if you can get all the information in as compact a form as you can, answering all the questions a “desperate” buyer wants then what’s the point of padding it so that it looks like a “real” book - you’ll be just wasting their time...

Desperate Buyers Only, for me, delivers the goods and I recommend it to any budding infoproduct developer - be sure to also check out her wonderful checklist chart.

Traffic Geyser Review

I was introduced to a free report called Web2.0 It's a simple pdf full of links and resources for all of the OTHER ways to get traffic outside of waiting for search engines. If you're new to social network advertising, bookmarking, blogging or any other way to market outside of search engines, this is a good intro.

You can get the free report here If signing up doesn't automatically send you to the free 30 minute teleseminar, you can download that here its worth a listen.

One of the most persuasive services offered in the report is a service called Traffic Geyser.

We all know (or should know) that video is HOT right now and a great way to get seen, sell yourself and get traffic to your site.

This service helps you create and submit video to all of the video sites like google video, youtube and dozens more. The video on the page virtually promises a number 1 spot in google. I was quite impressed and as we all get wrapped up in promises, i found this product review on a really good blog that brought me back down to earth. Go take a look at the video, it should give you ideas, and then read the product review.

Read the Traffic Geyser Review on Whats Crap and Whats not blog.

I think these tools included with the PipelineProfits (reviewed below) will give us a great new ideas about how to keep up with internet marketing as the internet grows and changes...

Stomper's At It Again

Stomper - the coaching course to learn to 'stomp' the search engines had everyone bowing at their feet with what was considered the most successful product launch ever. The day of the launch they had an Alexa Rank in the hundreds, the product launched an hour late because traffic was killing the servers and they had dozens of signups in the first few minutes. This product was NOT cheap folks.

Well, they're at it again, only its not Brad and Andy this time. Its two new guys you've never heard of who have done shockingly well WITHOUT help of search engines, pay per click or even affiliates. Their numbers were in the millions in 14 weeks attracting customers with optin lists of 10,000 a day. How DO they DO it!?

Brock Felt and Buck Rizvi are running THIS show. They had given a presentation at a stomper seminar which had the audience astounded. They condensed their entire course into 47 minutes and are making it public to attract new sign ups. They've split the presentation giving ALL the details about what they've done into a few videos. Video 1 is out now, but we are going to have To WAIT to see the rest. (wait. salivate. checkbooks in hand.)

You can see their intro video and sign up to view Video 1, and to be notified when the new videos are out at www.pipelineprofits.com

If you want to track their progress, I've included their blog feed in my sidebar called Pipeline Profits.

"Time Burns Mr Fire" & The Secret

Have you ever seen the movie, "The Secret" I personally thought it was incredible. Its somewhat of an offshoot of the movie 'What The Bleep'. Another amazing movie.

Both of these movies review in depth the concept of manifesting what you want in your life. It's the new spiritual way to get anything you want. It's still somewhat of a mystery to me, but I can't help believing that you create your life with your own thoughts. (the indelible optimist that i am)

It seems though that the mainstream is not so optimistic. Time reviewed the movie and had less pleasing things to say. It really is just like media to find the negative to any side of the story. But of course, that IS their business.

Does Your Site Move and Shake?

Every successful website has a function. Whatever your site may be, there is probably at least one important thing you want it to do. You want your visitors to respond to you somehow in some way. Asking your audience to respond how you ask them to is a call to action. You need to be able to provide them the means to do so.

You may want to build a list of subscribers, or let visitors discuss your topics in a Forum you provide and monitor. You may want to add your own live help system to directly be in contact with your customers. Whatever it may be, you need a way to build these kinds of things on your site quickly and easily without having to pay a programmer.

When you purchase a web hosting package many of these types of things may be included. Make sure that, inside your back end control panel, there are ways to automatically build the things you want your website to do. A good web host will provide ‘cpanel’, a popular administrator control panel to access and build your site. Fantastico is usually included in ‘cpanel’. Fanstico has dozens of great scripts that install with a few clicks and build just about anything you want to add to your site easily.

The Best Snippet of Code Ever

Adsense Tip: The best little snippet of code I’ve discovered for to build better pages. BEGINNERS GUIDE TO PHP INCLUDES

Have you drudgingly designed a large site, published it and sat back with a sigh of relief that it’s finally done? Then later that day or week realized, oh no, it’s gotta change and had to go back through EVERY PAGE of your website to change it? I think as beginning designers, we’ve all gone through this. open copy paste save close. Its Mindnumbing, and we only have ourselves to blame because we know there’s a RIGHT way to design the site in the first place.

That right way is with PHP includes.

<?php include ('file.html'); ?>

Thats it folks! Thats all it takes to make global changes to an entire website with just one file.

ANYTHING that you think may change, ESPECIALLY your adsense code should be written in html and brought onto your page with the code above.

Navigation systems are especially important to bring in with php.
Footers with stat code is important to include with php.

You can include as much or as little as you want with php, and its REALLY easy.

There are some things you need to know to get it working correctly.

Start out by designing one page in html exactly how you want your site to look.

Get your layout, optimization, cascading style sheets, images and navigation in order. Then, save the file with the extension as .php instead of .html Go back in and copy the elements you think you may eventually need to change. Paste them into a new html file. Make sure to leave out the html, title, head and body tags OUT of this html file. you only need straight code.

When the pieces are put back together in your browser, it looks like one straight page of html code. It will read the external html code where it is on the page. If you’ve designed that portion with styles, you dont even have to include the link to the styles, it will read it from your original .php header code.

Now go back to where you copied the html from and put this php include code in its place.

<?php include ('file.html'); ?>

Make sure to use the right filename. So if you’re adding your navigation bar, you can use something like <?php include ('navbar.html'); ?> If you’re site will include subfolders, you might want to use absolute urls for your include code. so it will look like this:

<?php include ('http://yoursite.com/navbar.html'); ?>

All of your pages will be .php - and all of your code that you will want to make quick changes to will be .html

This is so handy for testing adsense colors, placement, sizes and styles.

If the includes dont show up, or you get lines of code on your page showing a mysql error, something with your php code is incorrect. If you’ve done this all correctly and find that it’s not working when published, you may want to try one last thing before contacting your web host.

Create a file called php.ini with the following code only:
register_globals = On

Upload this file to your server and see if it works now.
