I got started with the same plan several years ago. It did work out pretty well. I managed to make it up to about $75/mo in adsense after about 6 months. It now makes me about $250/mo now that I added affiliate marketing of clickbank products to it.
great tips...my formula includes: keywords in title, content, paragraph 1 and last paragraph + keyword anchored text to your site in articles.
Following are few SEO Techniques which i used in many sites and are effective. 1. Finding Keywords with less competition (starting from maximum 50-70 thousand). 2. Using the keywords in the Title of your site, meta description and also in your body text (don't use duplicate meta tags for all pages of the site). 3. Try to use the keywords in <h1> tags at least once in your body content. 4. Make Google friendly urls for your site i.e (if the page is about my company then the url should be about-my-comapy.htm putting a - makes the url google friendly.) 5. Write Unique content (never copy from any website). 6. Submit to directories with different titles and descriptions (at least thirty a day). One should always look with a user's perspective while optimizing a site. no matter what your revenue goals are but your website should be user friendly and should have maximum information about your company or product. you should create the website for users not for ads etc.

I am also carefull in not using common words too much so google doesn't take that to be a target keyword. I cant remember what word it was on my page that I used alot. Lets just say it was the word 'awesome' for arguments sake. I found that the usage of 'awesome' was right on my target percentage and the actual words I was targeting had a lower occurance. I dont want to be ranked #1 for 'awesome' (or do I? Hehe). So, I have now narrowed down the scope by changing commonly used words with words of the same meaning. ie. awesome -> great -> cool -> exciting -> etc.... This seems to be working for me. My new site that I am working on (which is tourism based) jumped over 450 places in a week to #24. I dont know if this is due to this alone, but I dont have any backlinks yet. So, it must have been a contributing factor.
