    I just got into the whole adsense scene, spent weeks reading about SEO, Backlinking and what not.

    I finally just decided to go for it and give it a shot! So I registered my domain a few weeks ago.

    I just wanted to get some feedback and advice on if I'm headed in the right direction.
    (ie. Ads placed in optimal positions, layout, colors etc.)

    www. increaseyourcustomers .com

    Also, My site isn't indexed yet. Is this normal? I've done all these tips/suggestions found on this forum such as submitting to Digg/Yahoo Answers etc, aswell as submitting to many directories, blogs, article sites to gain backlinks.

    Thanks in advance!

    I would wait at least you have built up a good traffic levels, don't start putting ads from the getgo, that will drive away visitors plus you won't make money.

    Thanks for the reply. I noticed my site is actually starting to get indexed today.

    What do you think about the general layout of the site / ad placements (I know you said wait to add them later, I'm just curious for later)

    I must say that I'm truly amazed over the domain. How did you get such a "hard" domain name? You won't be having to do lots of SEO work. The domain takes care of it!

    Haha, I guess I got lucky. I guess I'll just keep adding content and let stuff happen on its own. While obviously building my backlinks.

    I guess you have maximized your adsense ads well, I must say that your research paid off. Although I don't believe that it's advisable to fill your site with ads in the first more of launching it. Do more SEO to push SE rank for your keywords. Also try to get some good back links and post on a regular basis.

    Agreed except for this "You won't be having to do lots of SEO work. The domain takes care of it!"
    No offense but I believe that a good name is useless without any SEO work.

    Yeah, I'll continue with SEO work, I'm not really sure what else to tweak- if you could spot anything out, that would be awesome.

    I've pretty much submitted to pretty much every directory I could possibly find, and over 500 blogs. It's getting slower for me to find places to get backlinks.

    I'm guessing a huge part of increasing the page ranking is content though, right now I've been trying to do about 1 article per day... Maybe I should try for more...

    Ads placement is good.I think you need to have more traffic in order to get more clicks on it.

    I don't want to be a wet blanket, but new sites with adsense have high click values

    When you've had a few weeks of regular daily traffic from google, your click values will fall to their true value - usually to about a third of the first few clicks values

    Your niche should pay out better than most though, and I'd expect to see plenty of $1 plus clicks on good days

    Yeah I thought something was up, makes sense for them to do that though.
    Right now I'm trying to make my way to the front page of google, I was on the third page 2 days ago,now I'm at the top of the second page.

    I feel like I'm doing something wrong though, or that I've hit a wall. Not exactly sure where to go for backlinks anymore, or maybe I should concentrate on content for a bit.

    Do both - put a new page online and get at least 1 backlink to it - blog commenting on somebody's related blog post is a good way, as you can find the post page though google search using:
    wordpress + yourtopic, or something similar


    You may also find your site's pages will drop out of google's top rankings after about 3 weeks unless you backlink to your new content

    Ahh I guess thats something I haven't been doing. I've only been creating backlinks to my home page, well... and posting every article on Digg too. I guess I'll start doing that and see what happens.

    Thanks!

    You already found customers by posting your website here.

    Ad placement is good. Try to add more content.

    Suggest you to move 468x60 AD to just after the first paragraph of the content.
