Adsense Secrets that they won’t tell you.

http://www.goodadsense.com/review/images/items/13.jpg

Today, we will talk about adsense secrets that the professional bloggers don’t tell you. What is it?

Well, it first and foremost includes capturing a niche market and not telling anyone else about it.

Once your niche grows big enough and you capture a good share of that market, you won’t have to worry as much.

It’s really about finding a good niche that not many people are blogging about. It’s simple as that and you need to keep trying different things until your revenue stream starts rising a little.

Web Traffic Case Study - ProGolferDigest.com

Web Traffic Case Study - ProGolferDigest.com

Well, here’s a blog that I have been working on since couple months ago.  As you can see, ProGolferDigest.com has been around almost a year now and I was getting like good decent traffic of around 200-300 uniques per day.  The site went down for couple days due to my lazyness.

Since March, I have been doing about 1-3 posts per day, all targeted at my SEO target keywords but found that this golf is still one of the best kept hidden goldmines.

Basically, the traffic growth resulted all from Google search terms.  Hence, this type of blog is explosive for making money online as a large number of your readers are people searching on Google and other search engines.

I’ve also learned that when you write a post about current events such as the U.S. Open, you get a spike of search engine traffic due to the people who are searching for it.

With just couple Adsense, this blog is making almost couple clicks, which isn’t too bad.

I think with a larger traffic such as around 2000 pageviews per day, this type of blog can make about $50-100 per day due to the “niche” of the blog.  The golf blog world hasn’t even started, there’s not enough golf blogs yet…

By end of this year maybe that could happen if I keep blogging daily about golf…man I’d rather play golf.  (That’s why I end up going golfing because I write about it…works I guess…)

This is my mindset for Multiple Blogs

Grow multiple blogs  and start watching which one grows faster, and then concentrate on those fast blogs to expect some results.

The slower blogs can be slow so really adjust your focus on building the blogs that are “growing” faster.

I think you need to really have multiple blogs in order to be successful at making money blogs as you can’t rely on one subject.

Once you develop couple really interesting topics for you and your niche market, you simply grow it with all the other blogs but watching the results in-between.

Which ever blog is growing faster, meaning more “search engine” traffic increase over a period of time, you need to put all your bloggers and blog posts onto those blogs.

Eventually, every site you run will increase in reputation and rankings if any one site increases due to the “network” structure of multiple blogs.  The opposite can happen, but you can simply deplete that link if the worst comes to worst.

Well, that’s my theory anyways.

If you have a better one, please feel free to suggest and use the comments.

Blogger’s Block - What to Blog About?

Sometimes on days like today, I just simply can’t think of anything to write about on my blog. (this one especially)

Blogger’s Block is a common syndrome among bloggers so don’t freak out on me now.  Tf you have it, it’s pretty easy to get through.

Creative writing can take a lot of effort, especially if you can’t think of anything to write about.

What to do if you have Blogger’s Block:

1. Go do something else, like for me, I like to go smoke cigarettes and watch the ocean.  During that peaceful break, I consciously and sub-consciously think about which topics would be interesting and also show up on the first page of Google.

2. If you can think of an interesting topic and you have something to write, go blog that “thought” immediately.

How did I come up with this post?

Well, I basically had a Blogger’s Block and went smoked a cigarette trying to think what to write about and there is goes. :)

Writing is all about what your mind have interests in.  Writing is easier if what you write about is personally interesting to you.  If you have blogger’s block, take action immediately and get through another blog post.

Become a Warrior to Make Money Blogging!

Okay, today’s post is about becoming like a warrior to make money online through blogging.

What do I exactly mean?

Well, if you have seen the movie 300, you will notice that there are only 300 warriors fighting off gazillions of Persian warriors, monsters, etc..etc...

Life and making money online is the same thing.

The more you write, the better you write, and if you can blog consistently everyday, you are bound to fight off all your enemies eventually and start making money.

What do you need to do?

Blog, blog, and blog it all like crazy every freakin’ day.  I don’t care if you write about technology, health, etc…, you need to blog all the time!

Picture this okay, you are a warrior and you have just been drop-shipped via a war helicopter to the 100,000 enemies.  In order for you to survive, you need to kill every 100,000 enemies one by one until they are all dead.  (Better yet, make some good allies and you can fight together!)

Well, don’t get me wrong, there are no enemies in the blogging world, it’s just you versus yourself.  But you need to understand that if you just started blogging, there are 100,000 other bloggers who are trying to do the same thing.  The only way you will come on top is by blogging better and faster than everyone else.

Hey, if you don’t believe me just take a look at 90% of the blogs out there today, it’s either bunch of garbage or the blog rarely gets updated.

You need to focus on quality and quantity.  Wake up fresh in the morning and write, write, write, and blog, blog, blog until your hands are bleeding.  Okay, that was just a metaphor but still, hard work pays off and you should only do it if it’s fun for you or worthwhile more than working in a cubicle.

Hey, I am no class A writer, but I know how to get the job done whether that’s pretty or ugly.

When it comes down to it, you need to blog.  A blog is simply a “live” stream of information that’s faster than any other media today.  The only way you will be able to gain lots of traction is through “live” streaming lots of new and great information than other similar blogs.

Well, now the secret is out, maybe I should shut this blog down soon.

Here’s a video of what blogging means to “serious” bloggers:

Quick Post - Shut All that Crap Out and Make Money Online!

Here’s a quick post, I have been a little busy trying to make money online but you gotta learn to shut all that crap out.

What do I mean?

Well, don’t listen to any blogger who claims that he can make money unless:

1. The blog’s Alexa traffic stats look good.  (Yes, Alexa is not accurate but it does give you a good measure of any blog that’s reliable.)

2.  Is he/she a blogger with experience?  Well, a lot of bloggers I see tell people how they worked in internet marketing for last 10 years or so.

Well folks, blogging is not internet marketing.  Blogging is blogging and only bloggers with experience can tell you how to make money doing that.

Well, don’t check this blog’s stats now, it sucks!  You can check my other site, http://zedomax.com.

I’ve been there, done that, without using any scam methods like some people.

It’s a mini-war out there folks.

Start listening to real people who have experience doing blogging.  Don’t do as they say, use your common sense.

Well, today was a rambling… but yes, rely on great blogging, quantity and quality both rule.

Write good, write a LOT!

Put some adsense and make money…

If you ain’t posting 1 blog post per hour, you are losing the race already…

Here’s a video interview with John Chow from AdTech 2008:

Since John reviewed our site couple days ago and I found out he was going to be at AdTech, I figured there would be a good chance of running into him and thanking him for the review. I also made up some quick questions to find out “secrets” behind John Chow’s success and to seek advice for monetizing SiteHoppin.com.

Plus, AdTech was great, I didn’t know there were hundreds of advertising/publisher programs. I might go there tomorrow again to actually find some new ways to monetize our site so and maybe do couple more video interviews with more bloggers.
