Why Adsense Doesn’t Make Sense For Some

Ok – you have a site, you registered for Adsense, and you started to get content. The problem is this – many people who are interested in using Adsense think it’s a fast way to make a quick buck. Well, you might make a buck – period.

It’s silly to think you can create a site and just let it run and allow money to roll in without having a proper strategy. You need a big site, and you need traffic. You also need high-CPC keywords and a traffic source that doesn’t border along people who recognize Google ads.

Odd, I think, that people think Adsense is the best way if they only have one site. What makes it worse is the use of 100% scraped content, without adding value to a visitor. That’s last the mistake you’ll make in Adsense publishing!

I make a comfy $400-500 on one site using Adsense. It’s paying for my server and security administrator. Yes, I do own multiple sites, and I do have multiple accounts. Adsense income grows with your reputation and content. How big is your site? 10 pages?

You need to focus. Stop putting other ads and slapping banners on everywhere you go. It will scare the customer, and if I catch you doing that (oh, it’s a pretty banner – I’ll put it up here) without having a CLEAR FOCUS, I’ll reach through the internet and give you a whipping!

Focus. Build quality content that is ORIGINAL and focused on targeted KEYWORDS. Build multiple niche sites around that so that traffic is circulated and increase the number of page views for your website. Without that, you can’t increase your clicks.

Now, if you really can’t do sites, you can always drive traffic and suffer on clickthroughs. There are cheap ways to get traffic. Keep your visitors coming back with good content, and follow Joel Comm’s approach to testing your ads so you can have a higher clickthrough rate. Remember – Google traffic and Internet Marketer traffic are blind to the Google ads most of the time. Target other sources of traffic.

If you need good content, hire a writer full time and get things cranking. I could offer you some services for content, but your research should be rock solid. Take the time to investigate your niche, build a bunch of keywords relevant (including the Latent Semantic Indexing) to your SEO for writing, and search engines can help you out quite a bit with traffic.
