A theme I keep hearing over and over again on this forum is that the only way to make money using Adsense is to get a lot of traffic. So what is the **fastest way** to get good traffic? Are there any services that are exceptional in accomplish high traffic?
submitting articles to digg/reddit/fark/other sites that get millions of hits a day. Getting a link from one of those guys would be big traffic. I've tried this quite a few times and haven't hit the home page of any yet. Hitting the home page would not only bring in a big jump in traffic but up your google page rank a bit too. The big caveat with trying to do this is if you do make the home page and get a big spike in clicks your adsense account might be banned. Maybe some other people have better ideas, but upping your google pagerank and getting links from other high traffic sites are what I've been focused on lately.
Spend some bucks to buy an aged domain with page rank and good, solid, aged backlinks. Then seo the hell out of your site, write solid articles/ pages that are highly targeted, and sit back and watch the se traffic flow. To the poster before me, hitting front page of Digg won't get your adsense account banned.
Really, that's good to know. Pagerank is hard to get, I'm still at a 2 or 3 for most of my pages after a bit more than a year. I've never even thought of buying an old domain with some backlinks, good idea.
Does the "aged" domain have to have a site? In other words: If I purchase a domain name but the site has been deleted will the new site I post to the old domain name still carry the clout that it did before it was changed? Peace, Herman
Organic search results remain the most effective way for me to get site traffic. I've tried many ways, but Google search results remain on top of the stats.
Definitely true because many sites that hit the front page of Digg usually get shut down by their hosting provider before Adsense could shut them down
LOL, but if the site didn't go down would google figure out that the site hit the front page of digg and not ban because of that??? How does google know?
godaddy.com, sitepoint.com, and the domain sales category here. Just be careful about fake pr. Check into the backlinks that are propping up the domain. make sure they are solid, will continue to exist after you buy the domain, and come from many different sites. If the pages are still indexed, you just 301 redirect all the old pages to your new site's pages. Yes, the page rank and juice will still flow to it. If Yahoo still shows the solid backlinks pointing to the domain, and the backlinks do still exist, you will get the clout still. godaddy.com Look at the auctions. lol Funny! But, nah, Digg won't get your account banned. That's just silly.
Are there any 'find out how aged a domain is and how many great backlinks it has' free tools out there? (I guess that would be called domain appraisal tools)
Wow! That's another great one! I saw that before but didn't try it but I just tried it per your suggestion and you are right! That thing is awesome! Maybe I am just an idiot but I wasn't aware that there are archives of sites out there. (Firefox SEO showed me otherwise). I found my site back in 2002 and I was able to see it (even though it has been long off my computer and off the web server! Thanks for that tool!
No problem. It's an awesome tool for snooping on competitors, checking backlinks on domains, quickly looking at your site, etc. It really is awesome.
