Google Adsense Is Not The Only Game In Town

Let’s face it, sometimes Google sucks. I know it is the premiere place to make money online through Google Adsense and through their search engine listings, but if Google gets a bug up it’s butt about your site, it is either sent to the sandbox or to the grave without you even getting a chance to defend your site. Once their bots have given your blog a negative pass, you are screwed.

It is definitely a hypocrisy as Google will take money for ads that they will not allow sites to post content for them like male enhancement or poker sites. Also, they take money for sites that promote make money through Google Adsense, but will not let you run ads for this same information. In the last year, I have had several sites that Google has either banned or just straight hit them with public service ads without allowing any response from my end.

So this led me in search of other CPC style campaigns that work similiar to Google Adsense by allowing me to make money online without having to wait for affiliate commissions.

Two that I have found to work quite well are InfoLinks and AdBrite.

Other Ways To Make Money Online: Infolinks Review

If you have several blogs dedicated to making money online through SEO and CPC marketing, then InfoLinks might be another way to monetize your blogs. While you will not make as nearly as much as a good Google Adsense keyword-driven blog, the steady nickels and dimes do add up. Currrently, I am averaging between a dollar or two a day with InfoLinks on top of other ads like Adsense or AdBrite.

if you are not familiar with InfoLinks, chances are you have already bumped into their underlined tags on sites you have visited. with InfoLinks, little sticky notes pop up when you hover over underlined words within your blogs. By clicking on these, you are then directed to the website listed in the pop-up and you get a some CPC change for the visit. Your blog can be covered with a dozen of these links per page or just a couple and you can customize where you want them to appear.

What is great about InfoLinks is that it can supplement whatever ad campaign you are running whether it is Google Adsense, AdBrite, or affiliate links because these little links run within your blog and do not take up valuable space used by banners or squares. Plus, if you link InfoLinks through PayPal or their pre-paid Mastercard, your payout threshold is fifty dollars instead of the industry standard of 100 bucks.

Other Ways To Make Money Online: AdBrite Review

Another source of monetization is AdBrite. AdBrite works in similar ways as Google Adsense and InfoLinks as it has banners, squares and in-text advertising, but also AdBrite offers those great annoying page fades that pop up occasionally when visiting a site. With Adbrite, you can choose to use all three or pick and choose which methods you want to use for each site.  So far, I have had no problem placing banners on sites that Google has disapproved of (i.e. poker sites, male enhancement, Adsense blogs) but I wouldn’t try to use AdBrite if you make porn sites.

Also, some might take offense to the site fades, so it all depends on what type of audience you expect on your site. So far, I have not earned any real money with Adbrite, but is does have a nice feature that rates your traffic and I still don’t have it up on all my sites. On this site, Adsense Blog For Beginners, i use both InfoLinks and AdBrite since Google has slapped me on the wrist.

Since discovering these CPC sites, i have run across others and will be experimenting with them throughout 2010. If you have any experience with these or other monetizing options, please share your comments.

My First Year Trying to Make Money Blogging

It has been close to a year now that I started trying to make money online blogging. Since then, I have been a negligent father to all my websites and have left most in a state of disrepair. i now own over twenty-five domains and I can only say that there are only a couple that I am satisfied with right now. I have not made any serious money doing this, but I have to say the fault is my own and not in the methods that are taught by people like Griz or Court. Had I stuck with it all year, I am sure I would have had a decent head start in earning a living make money through blogging and Google Adsense.

So far, I have earned around 300 dollars through Google Adsense, affiliates, and other source of monetization like Adbrite and Infolinks. I will be writing a review on these two sites, so just follow this link to learn more.

Now, 300 bucks doesn’t seem like a lot, but that is all passive income; I mean really passive income because I have largely ignored my sites over the year. In fact, some of my sites have no Google Adsense on them at all because i chose to either remove the ads due to lack of quality in the site or that Google chose to ban the site from ads. (Like this site!!)

But overall, i feel that in 2010, I can take the valuable experiences from the last year and help make my sites grow bigger and more profitable.

Some Advice on Blogging and The Mistakes I Learned From

The first thing I got to say about trying to make money blogging is that you can’t be afraid to fail. You can’t spend all your time searching for answers to your questions and reading every blog possible before you try something. You just have to jump in and prepare to fall on your feet. Look, I have made dozens of mistakes over the last year from simple editing errors with WordPress to having subpoenas served on me for copyright infringement, so i can say I am an expert on errors. i have had sites that Google has removed their ads from and I have had some articles pulled off of sites because they violate rules of content. I have posted duplicate content, scraped websites for information and just plain put together crappy sites. But in all this, I learned to make nice sites that can make money while at the same time offering exclusive well-written and SEO styled writing.

Here is a couple of pointers about making money blogging:

1. Learn to maximize your time

Over the course of blogging, you are going to write and rewrite hundreds of articles unless you are lucky and have the money to outsource your work. I am one of those unlucky bastards who has to make all my own content for not only my Adsense blog sites but for my link sites and other places i have to submit content. I used to write all my blogs in Word and then transfer them into WordPress, but have since stopped this habit.

Mozilla Firefox has a built-in spellchecker which works perfectly well with the spellchecker that is built-in to WordPress. With these two features, there is no need to write your work in Word, then transfer to WordPress. In fact, almost all of your blogging can be done in the formats that most blog sites come with. Ezine, HubPages, and Squidoo allow you to just type way right into the editing tools to design your blogs.

You have to understand that you are a blogger now, not a writer. The difference is that you must learn to just push out the content with lightning fast speed and shave off time by constantly transferring and storing files in different areas. You should write your blog as a draft and go back later to edit it, but you should not be spending an extreme amount of time trying to get it perfect.

Also, you must limit the amount of time you spend reading blogs. yes, it is good to read some blogs to get information and tips on how to make money online through blogging, on the latest on Google Adsense, and tips on how to get the best SEO for your site. These things need to be done in moderation and should only take up about 5% of the time you use to develop your blogs.

2. Have a Game Plan

Before you decide to make money through blogging, make sure you have an idea of what your expectations are. You are not going to get rich overnight. You need to put in the legwork, lots of legwork if you plan on making a living through Google Adsense blogging or any other from of affiliate programs. You need to decide how much time each day you are going to assign to this project, how many sites are you going to start with, and what keywords do you feel are the right ones to build your blogs behind.

You got to make sure you do not get to far ahead of yourself and make sure your sites are supporting your costs.

This should be your first goal. All your sites should be making back the costs you spend on maintaining them. If you only spend ten dollars a year on the domain and ten dollars a month for hosting, then your Adsense blogs must recoup this cost or you need to rework them. if you are outsourcing your work, then this expense must also be added into the projections for your site. If your blog is not making money after a year, then you must either rework the site or move on.

My game plan this year is that each site must make double its cost in 2010. We will see how that goes.

3. Don’t Get Ahead of Yourself

This was my biggest mistake. Before I had successfully developed my first Adsense blog, I was already buying up other domains. Before I knew it, I had already own over twenty domains and did not have the time or energy to work on any of them. The good news is that these sites now have a little age on them and they shouldn’t be too hard to monetize. The bad news is it gave me an overwhelming feeling of burn out when it came to working on them.

When you first start, I would suggest that you do not buy more than five domains for Adsense blogging and wait and build these sites for six months before getting more. Just keep your research in keywords and use this knowledge to expand your base. If anything, write blogs on these keywords for sites like HubPages or Squidoo and use these links later to build your new sites.

4. Understand Your Limitations

i think most of all, you got to understand exactly what you are capable of doing. if you have very little experience writing or working with webpages, then you should start off small and simple. Find one nice keyword that you feel will make money with Google Adsense while at the same time not completely bore you to death and build a simple Wordpress around this keyword. Work with HubPages, play around with Squidoo, submit to Ezine, and just build your links while at the same time doing some reading of SEO tips and read up on the themepages for other WordPress themes to get an idea of what is capable.

Building blogs for making money with Google Adsense is not just about passive income but it is also passive education. The more you work with the blogs, the more you learn, the more you know, and pretty soon, you will find yourself giving advice in the same way you were seeking it in the beginning.

My Plans for Adsense Blogging in 2010

Nothing gets your blood boiling and your fingers tapping away at the keys then when your websites come up for renewal. I may have been slow (almost turtle slow) from putting in the work on my blogs for the second half of 2009, but when I got a noticed that it was time to pay the piper to keep my blogsites I realized it was time to reevaluate my Adsense blogging.

I had to look at the disaster I created for myself and then decide what to do with all these sites I own.

You see, over the last year, I bought close to thirty domains, all with the intention of monetizing them to make money through Google Adsense and other sources of income. While my vision and plans were high, I didn’t consider two factors.

One, that life happens.

Two, that burn out happens.

Life Goes On While You Try to Make Money Blogging

Of anyone deciding to start blogging and blogging for the sake of making money online, then you must understand this saying. In fact, develop it as a mantra and mumble it day in and day out, especially when you decide it is time to research some new keywords and put more time into blogging.

No matter what your goal is or plans are for your websites, life just sometimes takes over. I have a newborn who is now one year old, I have gone back to college, so has my girlfriend, and our house that we live in had hung on the edge of foreclosure. These things have taking priority over putting in time to develop my Adsense blogsites. I have had very little time, or effort to put in the maintenance, the linkbuilding, and just the overall work to develop these sites into primo Googl;e Adsense real estate.

Over the last year, i have left a trail of destruction across the web of unfinished blogsites, quickly thrown up hack jobs, and URLs parked with nothing but Apache listings showing up when clicked on. Most of my main blogs have gone into the Internet Wastelnads, My HubPages have not reached my goal of 100, and my Squidoo lenses are cracked.

In general, I have created a mess of my plans to make money online and have just let my online real estate grow weeds.

Burned Out on Blogging

When I first started blogging to make money with Google Adsense, I was enthusiastic. It was a new, exciting frontier and I was putting in close to eighteen hours a day doing research on keywords, deciphering Wordpress themes, and just writing tons and tons of content for my blogs and link sites. I quickly saw the cents begin to trickle in on my Adsense ads and I felt I was going in the right direction. But soon, I became suffered from burn out because I now had more sites then I knew what to do with and could not afford to outsource my work.

So, I started avoiding my responsibilities to my blogs. Several, I just could not touch at all. Most have not received any new content in months and I have even bought more URls to compound the work I was already avoiding. Eventually, I decided that i was through with blogging for awhile and pulled out my subscriptions to several sites and pulled my Google Adsense from most of my sites because I was afraid Google might sandbox these sites.

Time went on, my sites began to earn very little money but i was still get a few dollars a month through monetized sites that still had Google Adsense, Adbrite, and Infolinks. I went about pursuing other interests and would occasionally look over my blogs to see if there was hope,

Then, a few weeks ago, i started receiving E-mails that my websites were coming up for renewal. I was like, “Wow, a year has gone by already?” and now I had to decide what to do with these sites.

Should I keep them?

Should I let them go?

Getting Back On Track Making Money Online

So I had to make a decision. I really thought about just quitting, but then I thought about all the work I have done so far on my sites. It would be a waste to let that all go. I just needed to my a plan this time and stick to it. I had learned a lot over the last year about making blogs, learning SEO, and just a lot about the world of monetization, Google Adsense, and the Internet in general. I was now a veteran blogger with hundreds of hours dedicated to putting my words on the World Wide Web. It was time to get back on the horse.

So, now it is 2010 and I am back in the game. I have decided to give all my websites a new look since I have learned a lot about customizing Wordpress, to add fresh new content and links, to get back into blogging on a regular basis and to see what 2010 holds for me in the world of blogging.

Adsense Blog Reviews

So, i don’t know if you are like me, but I got a bad habit. I got to be constantly checking things. I got to check my Google Adsense, my Analytics, my HubPages ranks, my Squidoo lenses and my Statcounter. I try to tell myself to stop, to leave these things alone, but I always have to know.

The same hold true for my Google ranking for my sites.

That’s where PageRanker for Firefox comes in handy. You can get the download at tools.seobooks.com.

If you don’t use Firefox for some of your Adsense blog work, then I suggest downloading the search engine. Besides having a built-in spell checker and other features, you can download two of the most useful SEO tools like Rank Checker and SEO for Firefox.

Before I started using Rank Checker, I used to manually go through Google and look for my Adsense blog sites. If you own multiple sites, this can be a tiring and exhaustive search. With Rank Checker, it solves this problem by searching for targeted keywords related to your websites.

All you have to do is put in your URL and list a bunch of keywords you are tracking. Rank Checker can not only check Google and their other sites like Google UK, but it also tracks Yahoo and whatever other search engine you put in the options.

What is great is you can then save your search and try it again at anytime without having to reenter any information. You can also constantly add to your lists and track multiple websites.

Rank Checker can also be used to check the competitiveness of keywords on sites like HubPages and Squidoo by just typing in the URL of the site and the keywords you are targeting. Rank Checker will then list the highest available site in ranking for that keyword if one is ranking. This is a great way to see if any new keyword that you are trying to make a hub or lens for has any competition and if you are able to beat its ranking.

So, if you are like me and waste a lot of time worrying about your numbers, Rank Checker helps eliminate some of that waste, but in the end, only you can stop checking your numbers on your Adsense blogs to see if you are truly making money online.

The Adsense Blogging World

So, I am now a two-month veteran of the I Survived Two Months In The Adsense Blogging World community. I say I am a veteran and no longer a newbie, because it has been a hard fought battle to get to this point. I have learned a lot, made several mistakes, some huge, mostly small, but most of all I had to switch my perspective as a writer.

I started this by writing what I knew and what I was comfortable with. I now find myself writing about things I have absolutely no interest in, nor any previous knowledge about just to try to make money with Google adsense. I am writing huge 1000 word plus epics on the most mundane and boring things in the world.

Why?

Because these things are popular and these things have high Cost Per Click rates.

Adsense Blogging and the CPC Killer

In the world of making money online and especially writing blogs for Adsense, you are going to find that you are eventually going to battle with who you are and what you think you know against who you need to be.

Who did I think I was?

An amateur writer who has a damn opinion about everything and anything. I would scan the Internet and write about the stuff that I thought mattered like Michael Jackson’s funeral and my opinion on stuff I knew about like dogs.

Was this going to make me any real money?

I wasn’t sure. I was writing to appease a social audience and it my first two months I has over 20,000 page views, but they only translated into less than sixty dollars in money.

I also started writing for other people which made me around a hundred dollars in that same time period. The crap I wrote for other people ranged from how to get rid of ingrown toenails to how to choose the best wine refrigerator.

During this time of writing other people’s articles, i had an epiphany.

I am writing the wrong types of Adsense blogs. I needed to stop writing about what people are searching for because they might buy it, but what people are trying to find information about before they spend money.

I had finally understood the difference.

Hubpages and Adsense Blogs

So, over the last several months, I had written about 44 useless HubPage Adsense blogs that got very little traffic and made almost no money.

I was about to give up on HubPages completely when I noticed Court having a webinar that broke down exactly what he did.

So, with bated breath and a new outlook on what I was doing, I watched his webinar and decided to do it exactly as he suggested.

That is usually how I screw up. I see how people want me to do it and I kind of go off in my own direction.

And over the last two months, I have gone off in so many directions. I’ve spent time on hubs, bought close to twenty domains, fooled around with Squidoo and basically left a long trail of half-used toys dangling all over the Internet.

My Third Month in the Adsense Blog World

What’s going to happen in my third month?

It is time to tidy up all my little messes. It’s time to go back over my Adsense blogging websites and clean up all the crappy blogs. It’s time to polish up those lenses and to actually put some work on websites that are sitting there looking empty.

You see, I have finally developed a pattern to creating my Adsense blogs and I am going to use it for all my pages.

My goal is to finally make a hundred dollars in one month.

Wish me luck.

And I am now happy to be one of the soldiers on the front line, toiling day and day, night after night, caffeine surging through my body, a draw full of empty candy wrappers, and a half empty jar of pickles standing on my tower.

What am I talking about, gang?

I’ve decide to join the Hub Challenge. That’s right, if it is bad enough that I am designing eight sites at once, that I just recently had a baby (well, not me, my girl did), and that my bladder seems to want to empty every twenty minutes, so now I have to go and post 100 hubs in thirty days.

I am wondering if I can get an IV of coffee going and a catheter shoved in my . . .

Well, enough of my wishes. If any of you are a members of the Keyword Academy, then you received an article by Mark and Court about their crazy idea to write a whole bunch of articles to see their rankings go up on HubPages and see what kind of income can come in for their Adsense Blogs.

Well, this idea has blossomed into an all out challenge to bloggers everywhere to create content to add to Hub Pages and see who generates the most revenue for their blogs.

It is a crazy hare-brained idea that has its own group of nutcases, and I am one of them.

So, there are some rules here. You don’t want to submit a bunch of articles you have everywhere else. I started too, and I think it is the only place I don’t agree with Court, or misunderstood his teachings, when it comes to duplicate submissions. I have also run into some snags at Exinearticles.com. You see, I am a prolific writer, but I hate rewriting an article, especially to submit to another website. So, my dumb butt goes ahead and submits duplicates to HubPages to jump start my one hundred and then I find out this is the wrong approach to using HubPages.

So that means, as an Adsense blogger, I either need to rework my pieces or make sure from the beginning to use new material.

Well, I’m gonna write about 100 Dogs. That’ll show ‘em.

So, Now, I am a little behind in the race due to these damn duplicates, but I still have 28 days left and I can do this.

To infinity and beyond.

So, all this started one day when I got the idea to make a site about the swine flu. After doing some research, then discovering Court’s School, I realized that this might not be a great keyword to buy when just starting out. First, all the good domains had already been scooped up. Secondly, if people didn’t start dying by the bucket loads, then this site would be dead within a few months.

That is the problem with fresh keywords. If you stumble upon a keyword that is so new that Google Adsense information has not been determined, you must decide if it is worth the risk in building up this site.

The advantages to getting these Adsense blog sites is that you will have the top keyword positions and probably will hold that position forever especially if static pages haven’t even been built yet. If most of the top links come from news articles and no pages with authority, then you might have a gold mine down the line. But if that keyword does not get popular, then you have a dead website with no traffic.

That is the big disadvantage to using fresh keywords. There is no way of knowing if that keyword will ever payoff. It is the biggest risk with the chance for the best potential in the long run.

If you do find a fresh keyword that does have a decent CPC of at least a dollar with no competition, but still very little traffic, this might be a great site to own if, and only if, the related keywords have a high traffic value because as your new site is building off the fresh keyword, you are going to start getting a lot of traffic off those other keywords, especially if it is a long tail keyword that pays money.

For example, let’s say your keyword is “octopus eyeballs cancer cure” and it is generating a 2 dollar CPC because some scientist has determined that they cure cancer and there is a lot of buzz about them but nobody has a website on them. You notice that there is a lot of traffic for octopus, cancer and cancer cures. With proper SEO work, you could get the traffic for these other keywords while you wait for the buzz to build over you new Adsense blog on Octopus Eyeballs Cancer Cures.

You must do your research before giving these fresh keywords a try. Also, if you can’t get direct domains with your keywords then I wouldn’t advice buying into them.

So I get this really great idea for a website based on some jinky things I know about a former employer. I go snooping into using his name as a keyword search and I come back with internet gold as the keyword is worth over ten bucks a click. So, I go and get in my Adsense blog mode, ready to rip and run while listening to Eminem’s new album. I start searching for domain names, get my site hosted, run my super dopalicious Fantastico Deluxe and then get through my configurations. Within an hour, I got a new site and ready for some content.

Well, I got the front end of this making money with Adsense business down. I can get a new website up in a day with basic content, ready to hit the road running on all cylinders. So, this new Adsense blog now becomes my main focus since I have some deep arcane knowledge about this subject. So, I’m slinging content like Mc Donald’s slings Mc Nuggets, blasting my site with some nice stuff. Then, I start throwing some articles to Ezine, start jumping on some trade secrets over at KWA, and start getting some decent links going. Within a couple of days, my site has quickly jumped into the top ten on Google and I started pouring more time into the website.

Now, I’m not using any jinky methods of link building but putting in some serious hours at building some of my sites. Well, I guess Google doesn’t quite understand the difference between my hard work and others who buy links.

I wake up today and my new blog site has disappeared from the top ten. It’s not even in the top hundred. It has completely disappeared from that keyword listing. I thought it was a mistake. I kept checking back, but it is not there. So, I heard all this talk about getting sandboxed and looked into it.

Well, I think my site is now sitting in some kitty litter waiting for a nice friendly pooper scooper to put it back in Google. I should have stuck with the teachings of Court and let the site marinate for a minute. But I got too excited for my new Adsense Blog site and wanted it to prosper quickly. Now, its flat lining and I hope someday to resuscitate before I have to pull life support.

But it taught me a valuable lesson. I need to slow down on my link building and let my site get some age and wisdom.

I sure know I need some.

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.

So, I bought some domains, ran them through all the set up configurations, and found some themes that I can live with for now. I have also taken care of my daily chores like cooking, going to the grocery store, showering, and listening to John’s new suggestions for websites. Because of him, I now own five websites set up for Adsense blogs but none of them have any content.

It doesn’t help that it is around ninety degrees in Los Angeles. I need to start doing my work before it gets too hot or my computer starts acting all squirrely. I live in an Internet-minded household where at any time there are at least three to five people sharing the same router and if somebody starts to download something, I am pretty much screwed.

So, it’s time to add some content to my Internet real estate. Now, in Court’s videos, he mentions visit ezinearticles.com for some ideas. But this is not such a good idea if you are going to submit your Adsense blog to that site. Ezinearticles reviews all your submissions and if you happened to “loosely paraphrase”, you are going to get rejected for similar content.

As bloggers, we are not responsible for citing our source material, but it is always a good idea that wherever you get your articles from that you rewrite what you read in your own words. Don’t be tempted to cut and paste together an article or you will never get it posted anywhere and you will never be able to link build.

I am not saying that you have to be a trained journalist. Just spend some time organizing the article in your own words. Also, don’t be tempted to do it right in WordPress. Always use whatever word processing software you have available because it has built in grammar correction that is not available when typing directly into those submission boxes.

Also develop your own unique voice and style and put a pen name on that beast. While there is a huge debate going if social trafficking can help generate revenue, it does help if your name has brand recognition when going for the long haul. I have been writing with the name Crowbar for over two years now, so there is some traffic I can count on from that pen name.

Now there is one thing I disagree with from Court’s teaching. I believe in the use of multiple pen names when designing niche websites designed to target Google Adsense blogging. I am not saying creating deceptive voices, but develop separate ones for each niche.

If you are planning on owning multiple sites, I feel that it is good to put so many sites under one pen name and so many with another. Whether you use one voice or separate voices, It comes down to personal preference, I guess.

Well, it’s been close to a week now and I own five sites (I bought this one on Day Five) and I feel I am on my way to becoming a millionaire. So far, I have spent over a hundred dollars and close to forty hours on this endeavor.

And I am completely broke. I wonder if Proud Domains accepts food stamps.
