Adsense Blog Breakdown Part One

As I stated before, making money with an Adsense blog is like running a long marathon, you are not going to know how it will turn out until you reach the finish line. When do you reach that finish line?

Two months?

Three months?

Six months?

Depending on how much time you put in to your Adsense blogs, it could take up to a year before you see any significant income coming in from your websites. Also, if you think that you are going to make a million dollars from one website, then you’ve been buying into the wrong philosophies of making money online.

You can go and try those other methods, but I guarantee that you will quit trying long before you even make a buck.

Why?

Because most of those other methods involve having money to invest in advertising, viral marketing, and website promotion, and most people who are trying to make an income online don’t have too much extra money in the first place.

To most people who start out making a blog for Adsense, it is usually a hobby on the side while they maintain a real job and a real life. They only have a few hours a day, maybe a week to spend on this endeavor, maybe only a few dollars to invest.

If you are one of these types, then learning to make Adsense ready blogs is the way to start because a year down the road, you could have a regular source of income coming in that requires very little maintenance.

Adsense Blog Basics

You don’t need to know a lot of coding or have a real great grasp of what exactly Adsense blogs are to start getting our first blog up and running.

The key is in knowing where to go and look for advice and help. The Google Adsense blog community is a very supportive bunch of people and there are plenty of forums out there that have knowledgeable people to help you along.

As I have stated, and will always state, the best place to start is with Court’s Crash Course and the Keyword Academy.

This is a grass roots, basic style of learning that appeals to anyone who has no idea where to begin. There are several schools of learning out there for making money with an Adsense blog, and Court and Mark’s teaching are the best because there are no convoluted confusing marketing theories, just a no nonsense brass tacks style of teaching. Plus, they have a proven record of what they teach, have been through the ups and downs, have made mistakes, and bring all this experience to their students.

If you are serious about learning about Adsense blogs, I would start with their websites and spend a week getting familiar with all that is involved in this concept.

Making Money With Google Adsense Blogs

The truth is there is money out there to be made making Adsense blogs, but 90% of those who try don’t make any money.

Why?

Because they either don’t spend the right amount of time on their blogs, or they do the wrong things.

It is real easy to want to find shortcuts or skip steps, but all this will do is hurt your chances of making money, and money is the reason you are making blogs for Adsense.

There is no easy way around it. Getting your sites up and running takes some work, especially if you are building multiple sites.

Plus, Google is always changing their algorithms to help weed out the garbage sites, so now, your Adsense blogs need to look better than they had in the past.

So, plan on devoting a good amount of time getting your sites up, but the key is once your sites are producing they need very little maintenance to keep earning money.

Adsense Blog Beginnings

After you have a grasp of what is going on, then it is a good idea to build yourself a business plan for your Adsense blogs. Also, it is necessary to start a timeline on your websites, because you don’t want to do things too quickly. These sites need to mature at a natural level or else Google will recognize your sites as useless attempts at making money with Adsense blogs.

You need to make sure that your sites are informative and have sense of identity and longevity. This might cost you some money in your Cost Per Click rate, but in the long run, your sites will be stand up as real legitimate sources of information.

I would advise having at least five hundred dollars at first to invest in making Adsense ready blogs. The model for this article series involves having that amount. You can start off with less, but you will have a lot more work to do. I started out with less and wish I now had done it differently.

You want to start with ten domains for Adsense blogs. Having ten domains is a good round number, and later on you want to have twenty, fifty, maybe a hundred, but for now we will focus on ten.

Some people suggest you buy them for two years, other suggest that one is fine. In this model, we are going for the one year option as this is an experiment in money making and you don’t want to spend too much if it doesn’t work for you.

Now, you should already have a few good choices in keywords chosen for your Google Adsense blogs.  If you can find a few profitable ones that a closely related, that will help you build your sites faster, so try to find at least five that are on the same subject or are loosely related. The other five can be on anything, or another group of related keywords.

Ideally, you want two or three groups of related keywords for your Adsense blog sites. This will come in handy when you buy multiple host servers that way you can give each sites some valid link juice from your won sites.

So, at this point you should buy two or three host servers. Make sure they are not on the same network as your domains in case there is ever an issue with your sites and you have to move them. It is easier to move if they do not share this relationship.

So, at this point you should have ten domains, three host servers, and lot of work to do.

Adsense Blogs – The First Month

During this period, you should be focusing on content and some nice solid links slowly. Do not rush your link building at this point. You want your sites to look clean and informative without looking like spammy blogs that are targeting Google Adsense.

Your first month should be concentrated in putting some significant content on these sites. Also, you should have a Gmail account. This will help in getting Adsense up and running on your site down the line. Google loves its relationships with people and the longer your account has been with them, the quicker it seems they will approve your Adsense blog.

When you have chosen your keywords and have your domains, place related ones on separate host servers. Like, I said, this will help with link building in the future.

Now, when you choose your WordPress themes, try to stay away from the truly plain styles. Some in the Adsense blog industry say that how your site looks doesn’t matter, but Google has recently changed the way they look at these sites. You want your site to have color and multimedia. This does hurt your CPC, but will not hurt your longevity as a legitimate site.

Also, stick to the themes on WordPress.org. These themes have to be approved and I find the ones on other sites might look cool; they have a lot of errors that can hurt your website in the long run. Pick a theme that looks good and also has a author page with instructions and a forum for help. Later on, when you become more confident with HTML and web building, you are going to want to change your blog around and it helps if the WordPress theme has a built in support page.

The rest of your fist month will be concentrating on content. Some Adsense blog gurus say just put up the minimum five pages, but like I said, Google has tightened up on those who want to make blogs for Adsense. Your websites should now have at least ten blogs with pictures, video, and any other content that attracts readers.

I know this seems like a lot of writing to do, but at this point you should be outsourcing your work. A good place to get cheap original articles is at textbroker.com. Articles around 400 words cost below 5 bucks.

You should make at least two rewrites of most of your articles for submitting to Ezinearticles.com and HubPages.com.

These should also be the only sites that you are submitting your articles for links in your first month of site design.
