So, it’s my two week anniversary in this making money with Google Adsense game. So far I have made a dollar and thirty-five cents. I was excited when I saw the money show up in my Adsense account. I jumped up and down for joy, ran out in the street and shouted to the neighbors that I was on my way to making a million dollars. After that, I started checking my account every hour to see if the money was still rolling in. Now, it is four days later and I still only have a buck thirty-five for my Adsense blog.

What did I learn from this?

That this is a waiting game, that you have to keep building your Adsense blogs, keep building domains with the purpose of making money online, and just be patient. You got to learn to stop checking your statcounter, stop checking your Google Adsense, and just work on your long con.

In last week’s episode of Lie to Me, Dr. Lightman ran a long con on a serial rapist to get him to reveal his copy cat. That’s what I call this system of making money online. You have to be in it for the long run, you have to be willing the go the distance, and put in the leg work now. The great thing about building blogs for Adsense money is that once they are up and running, they are low maintenance. It is real easy to stack a portfolio of online real estate designed to make money online targeting Adsense and affiliate links. But it is not an overnight process. It can take months, years to make a decent income especially if you don’t have good keywords or the time to dedicate to building your websites.

Putting In the Leg Work

In the last two weeks, I have put in between ten to twenty hours a day either building or learning about Adsense blogs. The great thing is that all this work and knowledge is incremental; constantly building upon itself to create better websites designed for making money online.

One of the biggest improvements is in my keyword searches. At first, I sought out any profitable keyword that was going to have monthly CPC earnings of over fifty dollars. While these keywords are good to have, you must also think about what type of person is going to visit your page.

For example, an Adsense blog on kittens might pay you fifty bucks a month, but are the people searching for kittens really going to spend any real money on any ads targeting kittens. Sure, they might buy flea collars and kitty litter or they might just be cat lovers who like to search the internet for kitty information.

But let’s say you have developed an Adsense blog for plastic surgery. Well, the people who visit these sites are willing to spend real money on cosmetic enhancements. Also, they might have weight loss issues, might need herbal supplements, and there is a good chance they will click on your Google Adsense ads and your affiliates, which in turn will make you real money.

So when researching your keywords, think about what people are really spending money on, not just what people are searching for online. Build two or three Adsense blogs on similar subjects and provide anchor links and blogroll links between these sites to help boost their authority.

Your Adsense blog websites are like a good wine. You have to let them ripen and mature. The keys to a good site is to not only find a niche and place five articles, build some links and forget about it, but to build up these sites. Let’s say you own twenty sites designed to make money online targeting Google Adsense and have followed Court and Mark’s advice, have developed links through Griz’s niche support site, and you are making a grand a month.

Sounds really good.

So you go on building new Adsense blog sites while forgetting about your old ones. What is going to happen is that others are going to come along and knock you out of your keywords because you are not maintaining your sites.

Take this site, Adsense Blog For Beginners for instance. I know that there is some competition for this specific keyword search. It is not like there are any real legacy sites with information on making money online, but just a bunch of Adsense bloggers. Well, since the site went live, it now ranks number one and two for the keyword Adsense Blog For Beginners and is in the top fifty for Adsense blog and one of the reasons is that people became happy with just the write five article/build up some links mentality. You got to keep building up your sites adding more links, more content, gaining more authority.

You can’t just let your Adsense blog sites stew in their own juices, but let them marinate for the best taste.

Running The Long Con with Your Adsense blog Sites

You got to build up your anchor links on your Adsense blog and not just your blogroll. One way to do that is request a trade for textual anchors in another person’s blog site. Requesting links for blogs is not as hard as some think. It is good to find those in the same game of making money online to trade links then just regular blog sites. While some of the latter sites might have decent page ranking, the problem is you might have to send out a couple hundred emails just to get one or two links. Most of those who are trying to build up their Adsense blogs are friendly and considerate people especially Court. Out of the last twenty emails I sent to Adsense bloggers, almost all replied and more than half of them agreed to a link exchange.

Another way to build up links is to send some juice back to your other sites from your main Adsense blog site. If you build up your MMO site, then it is relatively easy to add anchor links in an article.

So, let’s say inside one of my posts I start talking about the difference between drug detox and drug rehab. Or I decide to discuss different companies who offer LSAT test prep. Maybe, I know some things about liposuction and feel like talking about these things in my blog.

I also can go into depth about dogs. I could talk about dog breeds that are the best for guard dog training. I could mention what are the best breeds to have as puppies, or even offer advice about dog training.

The point is that in those last couple of paragraphs I provided a little juice to my own Adsense blog sites. This is one way to help build that maturity and authority that is most vital in making money with Adsense.

Look, there is a lot of advice out there on making money online, but it really comes down to doing your homework, doing the leg work, and investing time to make sure your sites get ranked. It is not an overnight get rich plan, but instead a way to gain financial freedom from a steady income.

If you have made it this far in this article and want to request an anchor link to any unused keywords above, just list the anchor text and your Urls in the comments below. I will delete each comment after I have put in your link. Just include me in somewhere in your blog site with any of the following keywords: making money online, Adsense blog, Adsense blogging, Adsense blog for beginners, or anything similar.

I’ve been sifting through articles about Adsense blogs, Adsense blogging, and making money using Google Adsense lately. One person who really catches my eye is Griz.

Besides the upcoming review I have of his sites, he has taught me the value of running the long con or slow con when trying to make money online.

In the world of Adsense blogs, few come as crafty and honest as Griz. So far, he has taught me some valuable techniques to help me with my SEO plans. A little over a week ago I bought my first domain and began my career as an Adsense Blogger. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and sometimes I still don’t know. But I have a gut feeling that I am headed in the right direction for make a living off the internet.

If you have been watching the television series Lost, then you are familiar with the character of James Sawyer. The interesting thing about Sawyer is he is born con-man and understands the long con. If Sawyer decided to get in the internet game then he would be at the top with making money with Google Adsense.

That is how I would decide to call the business of trying to make money as an Adsense blogger. It is not a quick plan to make money, but a long term race for those who stay in it to see the payoff at the end. Some people fall for the short cons on the internet and end up getting frustrated with trying to make money online. They buy the courses, spend money on lessons, try to sell their clothes on E-Bay, and finally get frustrated and quit. Others actually try to become Adsense bloggers but end up giving in before any of their sites make any money. They use the wrong keywords, don’t understand the importance of backlinks, and fail to optimize their Adsense blog for keyword density.

So far in the last week, a few of my sites, including Adsense Blog for Beginners, have posted in the top five for long tail keywords. Sure these are not my desired Adsense keywords, but for only being a week out the box, it feels good to see your Adsense blog listing in Google already.

Being In the Adsense Blog Game For The Long Haul

Most people do not have the time to spend on building a dynasty of online real estate that will attract incomes that break the four-figure level. They don’t have time to do keyword research, write content, build links, or to do the research necessary to survive in the online money making industry. They settle for their full-time jobs, go back to playing World of Warcraft, or start surfing the internet again for free porn. They don’t understand what it takes to have a successful Adsense blog or don’t have the stamina to follow this through.

Look, if you follow Court’s crystal clear instruction and Griz’s honest advice, if you put forth the effort to build websites that are search engine optimized to draw Google to you, and then you are going to make money.

Pay the buck and sign up for The Keyword Academy. Buy yourself several domains, a hostserver, and start pounding away at that content while building your backlinks.

The key is all adds up. It keeps piling on top of itself, every day you get a little more accomplished, pretty soon you start submitting articles everywhere, pretty soon you’re trying to race Mark at the 100 hubs in thirty days challenge, pretty soon your Adsense blogs begin gathering traffic, and pretty soon money shows up in your Google Adsense account.

And life becomes happy again.

But you got to learn to run the long con first.

Build Your Adsense Blog Portfolio

In the last week I have purchased eight domains. By the beginning of June, I shall have ten. I hope for twenty by July and I don’t even have a job or any real income. What I do have is a PayPal account and several ways to make quick money online.

I call this my “petty cash” system. There are several techniques out there to make real daily money to help finance your sites while you wait to make money with Google Adsense. One, through the use of Project PayDay, you can make several hundred dollars over a few days, or even in a day if you want to take time away from building your Adsense blogs. Project Payday will introduce you to incentivized freebie websites where with very little cost you can buy in on a referral system where people pay you to help finish their referrals for Ipods and Playstation 3. You have seen these ads in your spam folder from time to time. Well, the truth is that they are real, but require a bunch of hoops to jump through.

Well, it seems like there are a lot of people willing to pay for your help with this endeavor. incentivized freebie websites are not a long term source for income for those who want to make real money, but you get paid immediately. You can then use that money to purchase new domains for your Adsense blogs.

Another source of income is to write for other websites. A lot of people who start to make money with Adsense blogging begin to outsource their articles, paying an average of 3 to 5 dollars an article. There are several websites that cater to this growing freelance market and I am currently reviewing which ones I find that are decent.

Discover Brand Recognition

Entrepreneurs like Tyler Cruz, Courtney Tuttle, and Grizzly did not start out as known experts in the field of making money online through Adsense blogs. These bloggers learned their craft, put out honest content, and gained a reputation for being great at understanding how to make money online. This didn’t happen overnight. It happened from giving a great product and generating a solid trust in the make money online community. This will not happen overnight.

Remember, your actions speak louder than words. While social networking will not get you your CPC clicks, it will get your popularity raised, or lowered by just how you deal with others in your community. So, you finally build an Adsense blog that ranks over four and others are asking you for help getting them some juice. They are also people who read your articles on Hub Pages and Squidoo and help drive your popularity up so you can attract real search engine clicks. So, how you treat others is important in the Adsense blog world.

The Long Tail, The Long Post, and The Long Con

When building your Adsense blog website, you only think in the short term. You write short articles, design short keywords, and expect money to come in the short run. Well, over at Griz’s websites, he talks in depth of the value of having rambling posts, about the value of long tail keywords, and the need to develop perfect backlinks. This is all necessary to run the long con when targeting keywords for your Adsense blog.

As Grizzly talks about on his pages about making money online with Google Adsense, you have to learn the best way to lead Google back to your pages and let them determine what your site is an authority on.

So What Is My Point?

My point is that this is my new area to post in that follows what I learned from Grizzly about running a long con on my Adsense Blog For Beginners website. The new blog post is going to be a place where I ramble about my experience developing Adsense blogs while at the same time trying to generate those key keyword searches.

So if you want to follow my musings, then this new category about Adsense blogging was made for you.

I’m happier than a herd of hungry hippos getting a mud treatment.

I woke up this morning and turned my computer on, went and took care of the essentials like putting the kids in the pool, and came back to find that I was ranked fourth for a keyword search on Google for Adsense Blog for Beginners.

I couldn’t believe it.

It was an amazing feeling, I’ll tell ya. It made me feel like this stuff I am doing might actually work, that my hard work is paying off, and that I might soon become a millionaire.

Okay, I got a little carried away there.

First, the keyword that I searched for is not the main one I am aiming for.

Second, the keyword that I ranked in isn’t making any money right now.

So, you’re saying, Crowbar, why are you so happy that you ranked in a keyword that doesn’t make any money?

Because, I’m happy to see results.

Sometimes, it just feels good to see that what you are working on has the potential to do what you are trying for.

Did ya get that?

It can be frustrating starting something new, and not knowing if it is ever going to pay off. You can go weeks, months, dreaded years and never know if you are headed in the right direction.

When I started working on an Adsense blog a week ago, I had no idea if any of this works. Hell, I still don’t. But by seeing my page listed in Google, I know I am on the right track.

And that is important.

This site is hardly up and running (barely two days old), I’ve developed no solid backlinks, haven’t put in barely five percent of the work necessary to accomplish the goal set out by Court’s teachings, and I am seeing that it is possible to rank in Google if you put in the work.

So, I kissed my girlfriend, kissed the baby, kissed the dogs, kissed the grandma, and tried kissing my girlfriend’s sister’s boyfriend but he put up his fists. He doesn’t believe in bromance before his morning Cocoa Krispies. I did this because I feel that I am heading in the right direction trying to make money with Google Adsense. I feel my life has purpose. I feel like King Kong ain’t got nothing on me.

Okay, I went too far again.

Look, I don’t know if this will ever work, I don’t know if I’m excited for nothing, but it just feels good to have a little victory.

Now, it’s time to go have a victory breakfast.
