Yesterday was good for a beginner I think, today really crappy.

I created a blog based on Google trends about a week or so ago just to see how adsense works, I use a program to wrangle the news articles content and post them, change words here and there that look bad and then I submitted the articles to social bookmarks.

Everyday has been in the $1.50 range but yesterday because of Jon and Kate Gosselin all over the web I made almost $8.00 Today only .50 cents so far, slow day in the news I guess.

Question would there be red flags if content is wrangled? And I changed words around as well. Not sure if the $30 dollars so far are good or not. I also used some feeds from some news networks and linked back to them for source credit, can you do that? the news articles I promoted are not from feeds though.

Thanks

You'll never get anywhere if you copy or re-hash articles. With blogging, it needs to be personal and unique to develop readers, bookmarking links and traffic from the serps. If you're writing about celebs/entertainment/news etc you certainly need to add your own "Spice"! Be controversial, grab on to the breaking news when it happens and you'll earn plenty of money down the road.

 

I have tried re-writing articles but does not play out well in the long run, write original stuff.

 

a week blog make 1.5 is not bad

 

I do add my own spin on it, like in the tittle and the first paragraph as an introduction. You're right controversial is what attracts people, and believe me it has, today I woke up to 63 cents, It's almost nothing but it's nice to see how it adds up.

Thanks for the suggestions

 

I do have my long term blogs and this one that could give me a few bucks with little effort. It's about attacking all angles.

 

Even though you are re-writing the articles, I appreciate your effort in having a plan and following it efficiently.

Half begun is well begun and I am sure with dedicated effort and increased motivation of the money, you will end up writing your own stuff too.

Btw...congrats on inflating bank balance!

I do love to write about controversial stuff, I wish I had clones of me. I have a few articles in the Hubpages, here's one of them. Don't pay attention to the ads, just to show everyone I am working on different projects, besides this.

Here's one of my articles from Hubpages on Google search, it is the first one http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+site:hubpages.com+gays+in+the+military+not+a+wise+idea+hub
So expanding to different ideas is the way to go.

 

where is the majority of your traffic come from

 

Social bookmarkings and surprisingly MSN, they seem to like the site, it gets indexed fairly quick, I added the PressStat reloaded on my wordpress blog and that is how I know where the hits originate from.

 

yes, if only you don't spam it.
