Everyday there are almost 400 million searches on Google. On each search there is someone that has the top ranking spot. It can be you if you choose your keywords carefully. You need to know how many searches there is on each keyword, and how much competition you have got.
The first step towards successful Adsense campaigns is to find niche markets. To find your own niche market, just take a few minutes with a blank piece of paper and write down what you consider your interests. My interests differs from woodworking, to hiking to healthy living. That is what I design my sites about.
There is no sense in writing articles and putting websites together about stuff that you don't care about. Being interested in something just makes the whole experience that more pleasurable, and you actually have something to say to your audience. Each one of us, knows something that most people don't. Use that specialties of yours and let your creative juices flow.
Step 2 Choose the right keywords and optimize
This step is vitally important if you want to get anywhere with Adsense projects.
First of all you need to make sure that you will target the right niche market as we discussed in the previous step. The next step is to ensure you have to correct keywords to target.
You can download this Free Tool to do this keyword analyzing. I have upgraded to the Professional Version, because this tool is so valuable to me. It does the most part of my work
The beauty of this program is you just give one or two keywords of the niche market that you have explored, and it will check all the competition and see what keywords they are using. Then it will give you a breakdown of how many visitors each keyword receives, how many competition pages there are, and what your changes are of ranking on the specific keyword
It also lets you optimize your site for good keyword ranking on all the major search engines. You can also use this tool to submit your website to all the major search engines. If you feel a intimidated by the search engine gurus, it even has a Web SEO University that will teach you all you need to know.
Step 3 Design your site carefully
I so often see websites with Adsense ads splashed all over them and then I wonder if those people will ever make money with Adsense. The best advice I ever received in this regard was to watch Michael Cheney's Adsense Videos. They are great. You learn so much by watching them.
Once you watch his videos, you need to get on his mailing list. This guy has got a lot to say about Adsense Ads
He will teach you exactly how to design your site and how to create your ads to give you the most revenue.
In his package he also offers a free copy of his product Adsense Clinic where he will actually go through a few websites with you and explain why each adsense ad was placed correctly or incorrectly. This has helped me personally a lot to get my own ads sorted out.
Designing your site also includes the fact that you must make sure that you have relevant content on your site and in the next step I will tell you a little more about that.
When you have been involved with adsense for some time, you will get to know that offering your customers adsense and affiliate products in a well presented manner can give you far more income than just splashing hundreds of pages together that the search engines might get banned in any case. Give your visitors something of value, and they will keep on coming back.
I often go to my statistics and check how many people actually bookmark my site. This gives me an indication of whether they think they will come back to read what I offer them
Step 4 Add good content
Google and the other search engines are looking more and more for websites that have good solid content and not just something that is duplicated over and over again. Take the time to write ten great articles for your site and publish them not only on your site but on all other Article Publishing sites.
It is so easy to get sidetracked and start using content from article sites that you can pick up for free. The only problem with that is that there are thousands of people using the same article. If it is your own article it is a different story because then you will have thousands of links pointing to your site.
I have always found that whenever I create unique content and submitted the website, it will rank tops on the keywords that I have optimized it for. The reason is simple. Google says that they want to offer their visitors high quality content that is unique and that is relevant to the search.
Just think about that for a moment. If you will supply good content that is relevant to your visitors search, Google can change their algorithm a thousand times and you will always rank high. The reason Google changes their algorithm is especially to chuck the guys out that wants to cheat their way to the top.
So you say, well I cant write good content. Yes you can. Just go and sit down and write 500 words about the subject that you likes the most. People can talk for hours on the subject that they are interested in. Why can't you write 500 words about it. Whether it is fishing, dancing, eating, sport or whatever. Once again, find the niche that is your interest and you will have plenty to write about.
Once you have written your articles go to a few article publishing sites by searching "free articles" on Google and submit your articles. People will publish your articles and create links back to your website with many visitors to follow.
Enjoy the writing.
Step 5 Make sure your links are in place
Links is a great necessity and you need them very much. Google prefers sites that have lots of links pointing to them from good quality sites with the same type of content. It is very time consuming but learn about it, it will be well worth the effort.
For many years I missed out on great traffic because I underestimated the power of creating valuable links to my sites.
You can basically have different types of links
You can create links from all kinds of directories for instance. They will be one way links or reciprocal links. If you add the link back to their site, you will have a link that will follow through to your site by search engines.
Maybe the most important links will be the ones that are given to you by quality web sites with the same content as yours. Although this can be a time consuming task I would like to encourage you to go through the drills and add those links. Be aware though that if you place too many links in a short period, Google will think you are spamming them and trying to outsmart them. They might just ban your site for that. Rather add no more than 5 links per day to your site.
The most efficient way that I have found to increase my links without all the effort is by using 3 way links from this site
My suggestion to you will be the following, work out a linking campaign and stick to it. Make sure you understand the importance of linking and how to do it. There is more to it than just sticking a few links up there.
3 Way Links is a good way to go, especially if you haven't got the time.
Step 6 Track your Site
It is very important to know what is happening on your site. Which pages are being visited, where do people click on them, how do they perform, where does your visitors come from etc... I will introduce you to a great tool to do this.
When you shoot at a target, you need to know what exactly it is you shooting at. Shooting in the dark with a lot of ammunition does not help at all. You will rather use one bullet and shoot in daylight. The chances are that you will rather succeed with this option.
The same goes for your site. If you know where your visitors come from and where they go on your site it is much easier to control your visitors and find out where they are making you money.
