How to get $10/day tutorial project

Hi guys

I've noticed recently that a lot of digitalpoint users wanted to know how to get 5-10 dollars a day with Google Adsense. So for them I'm gonna start TODAY a project here to actually get to that amount. You will see how long it will take and how much effort you will need to put into this. Feel free to comment.

So first of all, i've created a new blog: http://brainwavesynchronization.blogspot.com/

niche type: health/psychology software
This niche is not the most popular one, but that will make it a bit easier to rank high in google and youtube.

So what i've done so far:
-created a new blog with content and adsense (+-sandwich technique) --> still need to sort out the content
- Uploaded a video on youtube + using keywords
- i've searched for important keywords
- created a SEO plan with excel to keep my work sorted and done (important)
if you want to have a look at it: http://www.youproblog.com/project/youproblogtendollarCAMPAIN.xlsx
- i've imported the google analytics code into my blog

The keywords have been found with the google keyword tool. I've collected all the most important keywords that are related to my blog:

"biofeedback, hemi sync, neurovector, meditation brainwave, alpha brain waves, mind machines,sync brain, research brain, damage brain, brain synchronization, Brainwave Synchronizer, brainwave, neurofeedback, brain sync, brainwaves, brainwave entrainment, hemisync, mind waves, brainwave software, brainwave sync, brainwave activity"




I'll post updates later tonight.
btw so far without having done a single SEO thing: 1 click and 24 views

BTW there's no use in copying me, try the same with a different product or niche.

 

Wow great project, I will fallow you through this!

P-S: can you also show your traffic progress.

Reedit : Isn't it illegal to hide the Ads by google. You are doing it.

 

thanks fdamours

As far as I know i'm not hiding my Ads, I do see what you mean, but that's just because of blogger. For some reason the whole ad doesn't appear in the main section. I've added 2 "468x60" ads in the main section with the Adsense widget.

Btw i'd recommend anyone to use the sandwich technique if you're using a simple blog:

Text
Ad
Text
Ad
+ vertical ad on the left/right hand side.

 

We can't fully see Ads by Google, which is against their policy,

If we are to make 10$ a day, might as well be clean

 

i don't get this, i have a page with 1700 pageview so far, and it have 0 click on ads (yes, i've tried to change ads position) .__.

 

great thread, Will be checking back often.

What are you doing to promote it, How long do you expect it to take from your experience.

 

@fdamours: i'm aware of this like I've explained earlier. I've tried different templates and It still appears like that. If someone could help me out here with this problem, that would be great!

@The Rookie: Thanks! If you'd like to know how I promote it, please download my planning schedule .xls file. (You'll need open office 2007 btw). I'll explain later in details what i've done. I'm unfamiliar with this type of niche so I'm not sure exactly how long it will take me. Only time will tell. But obviously it'll depend of my daily SEO homework.

@Insert: that sucks! Too be honest I was very surprised because I really didn't do any SEO... You might wanna check how many daily visitors you get, are your ads related to your content? What's the positioning? Hows your SEO? Do you rank high on google with your keywords? Do you have a lot of backlinks? ...

 

Well, The way Google see it : They don't care it doesn't fit your template, If it doesn't do not put it there.
It is too large for your zone.
Take another Ad size.

 

How where you able to put the ads inside the blog post?

 

just add the Java script code...

 

great way to create a new user account and start promoting your new blog

 

with the blogger Adsense widget (drag it into the main part), no javascript code copy/pasted on this blog.

 

Looking foward to see results. I have also started adsense few days ago so I wish you luck.

I think that half of from traffic will be from DP because people like this threads

 

Just for reference, staff is torn on these types of threads:

Just a FYI.

 

Alright so here's a little update of today day 1:

What have I been doing today:
1. I've started by social bookmarking with socialmarker.com. Since some websites are offline, I've only been able to post 31 bookmarks. It's a lot of work but as we all know, it's worth it.

2. I've created a new tubemogul account + new accounts for the video websites. After that I have uploaded my video. Each video shows a link to my blog and contains tags both in the description as in the tag area.

3. Did some pinging

4. I've manually uploaded the same video on a couple of other video websites.

5. Social bookmarked my youtube hosted video

6. I've tried to add that same video on related videos on youtube (video responses) that show up on the first 2 pages for 3 main keywords. Obviously not every video allowed me to do so or accepted me.

7. did some extra social bookmarking with 3 other accounts. So to conclude, I must have created over 100 backlinks on 50 different social bookmarking websites. And hell yeah that's a lot of work!

Later this week:

If you've seen my xls file, you must have seen other plans such as article writing etc. For every task i've done, i've coloured the area green. This allows me to keep track of my schedule. I would strongly advice you to do so because otherwise you'll forget to do a couple of tasks. Pretty normal I suppose. So later this week, i'll start writing articles and post them to the biggest article websites. I'm gonna try to create a RSS feed with adsense. Create twitter accounts,get targeted followers,...same with myspace and facebook, repeating social bookmarking etc.

Today's Results:
Views: 119 (according to google adsense, my google analytics domain doesn't work yet)
clicks: 7
= $0.5

My main goal is to get different urls on page 1 of different keywords. That's when the traffic will start to come.

feel free to comment!

 

Thanks youproblog for your live show. It is truly helpful. I will continue following your posts here to see what happen next.

 

Thanks for your articles.I will SU later today

 

you're welcome buddy

 

Well at the moment its to early to tell if those are representative.
Looking forward.

Also, please post where all the traffic comes from,
the different sources.
Will make this a lot more reliable and interesting

(35% google, 12% facebook ...etc)

Edit: And now Your ads are fine! Though i don't thibk you will get any clicks from the new one you disposed.

 

obviously, once my google analytics settings are up to date i'll post more statistics. After all this is just day 1.

hehe yeah i'm experimenting with the adsense ads sizes at the moment.
