How Bloggers Are Making Thousands of Dollars From the Google Adsense Affiliate Program

There is no doubt that the Google Adsense program for publishers and site owners is one of the most successful affiliate programs anywhere. There is increasing evidence that many bloggers have managed to find the right formula to make thousands of dollars every month from little more than a handful of blogs with carefully created and compiled content.

Unfortunately this has also led some unscrupulous bloggers to try and steal other writers work and post them at their blogs like it was their own. Alas there will always be some bad apples in most baskets.

So what are these successful Adsense bloggers really doing to rake in a couple of thousand dollars on a monthly basis? What’s their secret?

Cashing In On The Blog Advantage for The Adsense Affiliate Program

When it comes to attracting traffic, blogs have a definite advantage over web sites. It is amazing how quickly a decent blog can attract quality links to itself. These links usually bring in lots of traffic very quickly. Bloggers carrying Adsense ads in their blogs are taking full advantage of this fact.

What this means is that a blogger can set up brand new blog now and within the next few hours will be drawing in traffic. If they already have another handful of blogs with some reasonable traffic, then by simply setting up a few relevant links to the new blog, traffic will take off in a hurry. And of the new blog is able o attract some high-paying Google Adsense PPC (pay-per-click ads) then the impact on their affiliate program income will be almost immediate.

The other advantage is that search engines love blogs so much that they will always tend to rank them higher than websites in any search. The fact that blogs are updated regularly and the rapid growth in links they enjoy are some of the reasons for this. This higher ranking means higher traffic.

When I was starting out in Internet marketing my first site took ages to attract search engine traffic. A new blog I started attracted a couple of serach engine hits within a day or so, even before I had done any serious search engine optimization.

No doubt, in making their decision to actively promote Adsense amongst blogs, smart Google executives must have been fully aware of this fact.

This advanatage that blogs enjoy over web sites is one of the key factors that many bloggers are using to draw the sort of monthly income that other folk need several months and in some cases a whole year to bring in.

Carefully Research Keywords For The Adsense Affiliate Program

While traffic is important in making money from the Adsense affiliate program, keywords are much more critical. Most keywords will attract the sort of ads that pay only a few cents for every click that happens at your blog. A few keywords will draw in ads that pay a couple of dollars. A single click can sometimes pay $100.

Bloggers who are making big money with the Adsense affiliate program are spending a lot of time researching Adsense keywords. What makes this task even more difficult is that keyword prices are constantly fluctuating as different advertisers bid differently for their ads. The clicks ads receive also have an impact on the bid price. With the new Google system, advertisers have an option of raising their bid price.

So if you want to join the ranks of Adsense bloggers earning serious money, there are really no two ways about it, you will need to be an Adsense keyword specialist. This is not as difficult as it may sound at first because there are tons of information available online for free that cover this subject.

Set Up Several Blogs For Your Adsense Affiliate Program

Adsense money is not easy money, at least not initially. One of the things that leading Adsense bloggers have done is to set up several blogs catering for different niches and then linking them to each other to maximize on the traffic received. There are some leading bloggers with as many as 50 blogs.

Don’t feel discouraged. Remember that Rome was not built in a day. Also remember that once you’ve set up most of your content in a blog, regular updating is not all that difficult because you can make shorter posts.

There is aslo some serious math involved in the decision to have so many blogs. It’s simple really. The more pages you have with Adsense ads, the higher the chances of clicks and therefore the higher the income you will earn.

Obviously maintaining such a high number of blogs alone, no matter how good a writer you are, is not possible. Actually many bloggers usually re-invest their earnings in hiring ghostwriters to keep their blog content fresh and focused on drawing both traffic and the right Adsense ads.

Quality and Captivating Content Is Important For The Adsense Affiliate Program

One thing that the Adsense Affiliate program has done for the World Wide Web is help improve on the quality of the content. You will never earn a high income from the Adsense Affiliate program with shoddy, badly written content. It should be obvious. Your blogs will draw traffic mainly because of the content you have. And more important, this traffic will come back again and again only if the content is captivating, interesting and informative. Do not forget that you are competing with so many other blogs and sites.

Bloggers earning thousands of dollars every month from the Adsense Affiliate program are usually very particular about their content.

What The Adsense Top Earners Are Doing To Constantly Increase Their Earnings

It is really frustrating, is it not, to log into your Google Adsense earnings and find that you’ve had yet another disappointing day? Another day of making nothing or just pennies.

More so when you continue to read about those guys making five figure monthly incomes from Google Adsense every day. Google Adsense terms and conditions require that earnings are kept secret. Still some of these guys claim that they obtained special permission to spill the beans. One of them recently revealed that they had made $45,000 in just one month. Perusing through the statement, there were single days where they made as much as 800 bucks. Can you imagine that?

Sorry, it is not my intention to make you feel worse than you already are so I will stop there and get on with my findings.

This article is based on my investigative journalism skills. Yep, some of us are still using skills we acquired years ago from our offline days. My objective was to find out as much as I could about what these top earners were doing different from the rest of us.

High Adsense Earners Do Exist
But first I had to establish whether these high earners existed at all. After all anybody can get online and tell all sorts of lies about anything. My investigations started off trying to separate the hype from the facts which is an almost-impossible task these days. I have read several articles by sceptics which clearly state that most of these so-called high earners do not exist.

Well the truth is that despite the high number of hype peddlers out there, these guys are for real.

Without disclosing too much about some of my sources whom I intend to use in the future and can therefore not disclose, there are several pieces of evidence that point not only to their existence, but to their growing numbers.

The first is the amazing pace at which Google earnings from this business is growing. Check any top affiliate program and compare their figures to Google Adsense and you will begin to see what I mean. Google is a public company and their figures from earnings are widely available.

Adsense Keywords Do Matter
High traffic is important and effective online traffic tools are well known. They include for example PPC ads, including the very same Adsense ads. Articles are increasingly important because when it comes to traffic, the numbers are not enough, the quality of the traffic is also very important.

But the absolutely critical factor in achieving high Adsense earnings is not traffic. It is actually the keywords used. With the difference in earnings from a click ranging from a fraction of a penny to $100, you can begin to appreciate what we are saying here.

This is the reason why almost everybody else is selling those lists online these days.

My investigations unearthed evidence that those top earners are constantly researching new keywords. They spend a lot of time doing that (more time than they spend doing anything else) and to pay for some of their wasted efforts (every genuine research effort will have plenty of that) some of them are peddling the lists that they have graduated from or do not need anymore. Before you get upset please remember that this is standard business practice. A smart entrepreneur always minimizes on wastage of any kind.

Generally there are some keyword topics that pay more than others. To give you just two examples, health and electronics generally score much higher across the board than other areas of interest in terms of high earning keywords. The top earners are using this information

Hire an Adsense Expert
This is the most amazing aspect my research unearthed. Many top earners are heavily re-investing in the business to increase their earnings even further. They are doing this by hiring experts of all sorts. Experts to increase traffic, software gurus and so on.

Get A Ghostwriter Who Understands Adsense
Incidentally one of the other things that can be done at the site is that you can get to hire a good ghostwriter who understands Adsense at dirt-cheap rates. My research unearthed this as the other thing top Google earners are doing to constantly increase their Adsense earnings.

It is no secret that to maintain high traffic to your site you require lots of fresh content on a regular basis. Actually the simple math is that the more high traffic pages you have that contain Adsense ads, the more money you will make.

Nobody can produce 300 pages of quality content in hurry, no matter how good a writer they are, and therefore these Google top earners are using ghostwriters to do it for them. One even had an innovative and elaborate approach where he pays his ghostwriters a part of the revenue he receives from clicks their articles generate on his websites.

Others are making use of the free content that is available online from sites like goarticles.com, ezinearticles.com and ideamarketers.com. This has its’ limits, because Search engines for example prefer fresh original content.

Use All The Free Tools For Valuable Adsense Keywords
Now don’t get discouraged if you do not have lots of cash to invest in getting your Adsense earnings up. Actually the truth is that everybody starts somewhere and even these five-figure earning Adsense giants started off earning pennies at a time. As the old saying goes, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step."

There are plenty of extremely useful free tools and Adsense lists that are available online.

For example you can get a useful keywords list at the following link;

The following tool will help you in selecting various possible keywords available for the same subject or topic. You can then purchase another tool to give you the value of the different keywords.

Why Is There Such A Huge Demand For Inexpensive Ghostwriters?

Most people do not quite understand why there is suddenly such a huge and growing demand for inexpensive ghostwriters. In fact most folk are not even aware of the fact that there is such a huge and growing demand for inexpensive ghostwriters in the first place.

In one sentence, the main reason for the sudden surge in demand for inexpensive ghostwriters is the online revolution that has changed mass publishing forever. Before the information age, power to reach the masses was in the hands of a few media houses. Now anybody can be a publisher and enjoy the power that comes with the ability to reach millions of readers daily. A number of blogs and sites are already doing this. The amazing thing is that some of these blogs and sites reaching millions of readers are literally one-man shows or set-ups that are run by only a handful of persons.

Even more significant for inexpensive ghostwriters are the growing group, currently consisting of thousands, of small blogs and sites that cover tiny niches and which reach much fewer readers. The important thing here is that this group collectively covers a huge captive audience.

So the fact that the way we receive our information has changed so dramatically has opened up massive new opportunities for ghostwriters, more so, inexpensive ghostwriters who realize what has happened.

More and more online entrepreneurs are realizing that with a little clever positioning and the correct use of the right keywords, they can reach a huge audience almost overnight and make some serious cash as a result. The key to being successful is getting some useful and well-written articles out there. Just the job for an inexpensive and reliable ghostwriter.

Why Your Ghostwriter Must Choose Their Words Carefully To Succeed In Increasing Your Site Traffic And Revenue

No matter how well they write, the ghostwriter or web content provider you hire can only be useful to you if they can find the right words. It is only the right words in the content that they supply that will make a difference in your site’s revenue and traffic.

Getting the right words is not always easy to do, but if a ghostwriter cannot achieve this, then they will be of little or no use to a site owner.

A Good Ghostwriter Must Find The Words That Will Bring In Loads Of Traffic

Much as most people would wish it could be different, the fact still remains that over 75 per cent of the traffic that successful sites receive, comes from search engines. Meaning that nobody in their right mind can afford to ignore search engines.

In simple terms, the way to attract traffic is to use popular keywords where you are guaranteed as high a ranking as possible in the leading search engines. There are various online tools that will help a ghostwriter in fulfilling this important task. They include Wordtracker.com.

This is so important that you cannot afford to blindly leave it to your ghostwriter. It is important that you learn how to do your own keywords research so as to supervise and guide the ghostwriter or web content provider supplying you with articles.

A Good Ghostwriter Must Find The Words That Will Give You The Right Image
Image is what sells, more so in the increasingly crowded online world. A good online ghostwriter will make an effort to find the words that will portray the right image for the particular website or e-commerce online enterprise. Experience is critical in winning client confidence in most businesses. If this is the most important attribute prospects will be looking for in your business, then your content will need to reflect this. Making wild sweeping claims that anybody can make will not do it. But selecting the right words that will lead to the implications and conclusions that you want to point your prospects towards will be the most ideal.

A ghostwriter who can do this for you will be worth their weight in gold.

A Useful Online Ghostwriter Will Identify The Resource Box That Will Get You A Good Response

If you decide to make the smart move of posting your articles at other websites to create links leading to your site, then the resource box will have to be the most important tool at your disposal. Read the following detailed article I wrote on resource boxes at;

http://marketingurhomebiz.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-article-resource-box-will-kill-or.html

Your Ghostwriter Will Need To Know The Most profitable Google PPC keywords
Whether you are using Google PPC ads to attract traffic to your site or as an extra income stream in your website, the right keywords will be a critical contributing factor to success. A ghostwriter who understands this and is skilled enough to deliver will be a hugely invaluable resource to any site or webmaster.

The Difference A Freelance Writer Can make To Your Web Content And Revenue

In the offline days, hiring a freelance writer was a rather expensive undertaking. To get a standard 500-word article from a good freelance writer, you would usually require nothing less than $500.

Now with that kind of budget it is easy to get a dozen well written keyword-rich articles that will make a huge difference at your site in terms of traffic and revenue.

Actually by combining the services of a freelance writer and your own efforts (with guidance from our blog) you can tremendously lift the standard of content at your site and ultimately the search engine rankings, traffic and revenues of your site.

Let us take a brief look at what a good freelance writer can do for a shrewd webmaster who knows exactly what they want.

The Right Keywords From A Good Freelance Writer Will Draw More Traffic
Keywords make a huge difference. It pays to invest in tools that help a freelance writer analyze keywords and the kind of traffic that they attract. Blindly written articles will not do. Certainly they will not be as effective in attracting traffic to your site as keyword-rich articles with the right keywords.

While it is true that any well written article will tend to enjoy a viral effect where it will get re-posted at various sites all over the net thus constantly creating quality links pointing back to your site, anybody who does not research the right keywords to use will be greatly shortchanging themselves. Some freelance writers already know this, others will need to be guided as you give them the assignment.

The Right Freelance Writer Can Multiply Your Google Earnings
Many websites and blogs these days post google adsense ads as a key revenue earner for their sites. However many of them get frustrated by the low earnings from clicks on their sites. The truth is that although traffic is important, keywords are more important. It has been proved that sites with very low traffic but the right web content to attract high paying Google ads can end up earning hundreds of dollars and in some cases, thousands of dollars in extra income.

Getting a good freelance writer to write quality articles with the right keywords can make a huge difference in the earnings your site enjoys from Google.

It Takes Very Little Money To Make A Huge Difference
With a little creativity, you will find that you do not need to use any money upfront to get the services of a good freelance writer. One top earning Webmaster had the brilliant idea of singing up freelance writers and paying them a commission based on the clicks that their articles attract in the different pages of the site.

Even if you were to pay for the services of a freelance writer and not share your income, a budget of $400 will get you 10 articles. You do not need to assign more until you have seen the increased income. In this way the whole project will pay for itself.

You can even have top freelance writers bid for your assignment with no risk of losing your money in deal gone bad by using the following site which puts your funds in an escrow account. You select the lowest bidder and they don’t get paid until they have completed your assignment to your satisfaction. Here is the link to the site.

There are plenty of excellent freelance writers around, use them to increase the revenue of your site.

How A Low Cost Web Content Provider Can Help A Blog Increase Revenue By 500 %

Somebody running a simple free blog can increase their site’s revenue by 500 per cent or more by simply engaging the services of a low cost content provider.

Quality web content can be very effective for any blog on two fronts.

Firstly it will increase traffic tremendously because the quality writing will not only attract repeat visitors but the resulting word of mouth (which is still the most effective advertising anywhere).

Secondly by posting your quality blog content written by yourself or a low cost content provider, at high traffic article sites, you can easily trigger the sort of viral effect that will see your article get re-posted in numerous other sites all over the net. This will not only attract the sort of quality traffic that will spend much more time at your site, it is also long term. The viral effect will virtually continue forever.

If you take a close look at all the top google sites, you will find that they all have something in common. The quality of their writing is rather high. This is not an accident, just like them being top sites in a leading traffic engine is certainly no accident.

A few well written articles for a blog by this content provider that were also posted at some high traffic article sites were quickly picked up by other websites so much so that the resulting viral effect saw postings to a handful of article websites rapidly multiply to a presence in 16,000 sites. The blog’s traffic steadily increased as a result of the quality content. Good content had a double advantage in that the site was also able to attract high-paying google ads that made a huge difference in the blog’s google adsense pay-per-click ad earnings. Read an article on this episode at the following link;


http://big-online-story.blogspot.com/2005/06/how-i-submitted-my-internet-marketing.html


Sounds like a fairy tale? Probably, but the truth of the matter is that this magical “trick” is being performed all the time by smart online entrepreneurs and websites who realize that they cannot go very far without good web content which if they are not able to produce on their own can easily come from a good low cost content provider.

When you hear folks insisting on the constantly quoted statement that content is king online, be sure that they not only mean, valuable relevant content, but they also mean well written content.

People are always terribly pressed for time online. They really do not have the time to sit back and try to figure out what you are trying to say in a sentence in your web content that is not clear. They will simply go elsewhere which is very easy online because all it takes is a click or two and they are at another site with better and clearer writing. That is the reality.

And no webmaster or blog owner should have any excuse for shoddy low quality content. As we will show in our blog, there are various ways of ensuring that your site has quality well written content. It ranges from writing your own content (we’ll give you plenty of tips here on how to do this) to using free content widely available online. You can also commission content from a content provider. In fact if you are worried about paying a stranger for content that you might never see, there is a site that does a great job of acting as a middle-person where they place cash in an escrow account and the content provider only gets paid when you are satisfied about the web content they provide. Thus chances of you paying for content that you never see or are not happy about are nil. You can take a look at this site using the link below.

http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/SmallBiz.asp?txtFromURL=AId_1556019

If you are serious about your online business you will be serious about your web content and if the other free methods of obtaining this cannot work for you low cost quality content providers are in plenty these days.

How You Can Be Your Own Excellent Web Content Provider Part 1

The truth is that many times when a new site is launched, the owner does not have a budget for a web content provider. No matter how low cost they are, many websites and blogs just starting out cannot afford a web content provider. This forces the owner of the site to be his or her own web content provider.

Here are some key tips on how you can be your own web content provider.

Be Your Own Expert Web Content Provider By Writing List Articles

Even professional web content providers start off some of their content as list articles. But what is a list article?

As the name suggests, this is an article that starts out as a list. For example I started out this article that you are reading as a list article. I wrote down the headline above and then all the subheadings in their correct order as follows;

How you can be your own excellent web content provider

- Be your own expert web content provider by writing list articles
- Use your email queries to be your own quality web content provider
- Use popular search engine keywords to be your own quality web content provider
- Look for the controversial and a catchy headline to be your own engrossing web content provider

This is simply the skeleton of the article with the headline and the list of points I intend to cover in the article. Only that I have repeated the key phrase “web content provider” in each of my sub-headings (because the search engines love that).

The next step is to put some “meat” on the skeleton and flesh out the subheadings.

Somebody who is not an experienced writer or web content provider, can simply write a list with as many sub-headings as possible and then briefly explain each subheading in a sentence or two.

Use Your Email Queries Or Posts To Be Your Own Quality Web Content Provider

Quite often you will get email queries and questions about some aspects of your content from visitors to your site. Some web masters usually get annoyed because the time-consuming exercise of answering visitor's queries is not paid for. Actually these email questions are a gold mine.

Firstly it means that people are actually reading your content, quite an achievement on itself in today’s crowded net. Secondly you can be sure that for every question asked there were dozens of other readers who would have asked the same question only that for one reason or another, they did not get round to sending you an email or posting their comment if yours is a blog that allows comments.

This means that your answer will be of great interest to many other visitors to your site and will therefore make provide excellent web content. So it would make great sense to post both the question and your answer on your site. Make sure that you delete the name and email of the person who sent you the query (you don’t want to send loads of Spam in their direction and upset a possible future client, do you?).

If you usually receive many queries just answering them in detail and posting both the question and answer would make you an excellent web content provider. One other good reason to do this is that it will give your site an excellent image that you are attracting enough quality traffic to attract questions and queries.

How You Can Be Your Own Excellent Web Content Provider Part 2

We continue with the various tips and methods that you can use to be your own web content provider.

Use Popular Search Engine Keywords To Be Your Own Quality Web Content Provider

The most popular keywords searched at major search engines are a valuable source of both ideas and keywords for a web content provider. Actually no web content provider can afford to ignore keywords.

However the most valuable thing you will get out of popular keywords as a web content provider is in identifying what the public are interested in and therefore getting a good idea of what subjects to cover in your web content. Nobody is going to read boring articles on a boring subject that they are not interested in.

Also if you are going to post at least some of your web content elsewhere ( a good idea for attracting traffic) then the more interesting your articles, the more viral they’ll be in quickly spreading ads on your business all over the web.

Look For The Controversial And Catchy Headlines To Be Your Own Engrossing Web Content Provider

But even after writing your nice article based on public demand and popularity as displayed in the most popularly searched keywords, as a web content provider you will need to come up with the sort of catchy headlines that grab the attention of the reader and drug them by the neck into clicking on the link to read your article. Sounds a little crude, but in the crowded net of these days, you will get absolutely nowhere, no matter how good your content is, if the headline is not enticing enough.

Controversial subjects will also tend to attract huge traffic and professional web content providers are constantly searching for them.

If you observe the interesting material we have covered in the two parts of this article, you have a good chance of turning yourself into your own excellent web content provider.

Low Cost Web Content Provider Who Will Research The Right Keywords For Your Site And Even For High-Paying Google Adsense Pay-per-click Ads

Quality web content providers will usually charge a minimum fee of $500 for their services. Some of these highly paid content providers are nothing more than offline writers who have recently shifted online to cash in on the colossal and growing demand for writers and writing services online.

How about getting a quality, experienced web content provider at a fraction of the price others are asking? A content provider who understands the huge difference the right keywords will make to your website in terms of the traffic that it attracts from search engines and search engine rankings.

Do you make your money from google adsense pay per click ads? This content provider can be a useful member of your time who can even recommend and write the right keyword-rich content that has a higher chance of attracting higher paying adsense pay per click ads. There is usually no extra charge for keyword recommendations.

My special fee for high quality web content is only $40 for content of upto 1000 words. Contact me for further details now at ckyalo at yahoo.com
