    Thanks for the great post .. Rep+

    And, what do you mean by broad keywords ? how many word per keyword for example ? two ? three ?

    Also, the problem I'm facing when playing with adsense, is that I don't know how much traffic is enough ? how do you choose your keywords? for example according to adwords tool, how many global monthly searches is good for a keyword that I may target ?

    Thanks for answering.

    Your current ad placement looks fine to me considering the constraints of your template as well as that of the site theme, it being a video site there are not much options for you, i suppose, now it is all about getting hordes of traffic by ranking on first spot of google for your keywords.

    By broad keywords means, very broad competitive two or three phrase term for example "dental health", now go check this keyword in google, the competition is heavy, there are sites vying for the top spot, some with very high PR, some with huge promotional budgets and some with killer vengeance that they will go to any extent to get that 1st spot, but let me tell you what, you can rank for that term also with a meagre monthly budget, some simple/fresh content and persist with it for an year or so, take it as a 2 year project and i can guarantee that your site will be there in first 3 spots of that keyword, but persistence, come what may dont lose hope, just forget about adsense earnings and just concentrate on getting those rankings, one more thing i can assure you there that once you are there you will be rethinking whether you need to do a 9-5 job :)

    I thought the first part of my answer itself was the answer to the second part of your question too

    Well when you are targeting such broad keywords do you really need to worry about monthly search volume, when you hit the first spot for those keywords you might be already hosted on a VPS for sure :D

    Hi COBsolutions,
    Congratulations on your success ... Nice to see that DP has helped you.. DP has helped me a lot, not just in Google Adsense, in general in many aspects like GLOBAL FRIENDS, great tips from fellow DPers.

    I have learned few things on DP from buying ebooks, etc, improved them a lot and made money by hard work..

    Have a nice stay here.

    Regards,
    Leela

    Well. I want to congratulate you for achieving about 19% of bounce rate. can you retell your story with regards to improvement in bounce rate?

    I started at 80% bounce rate then it went down 70%. It now fluctuates at 50-60%. Any tips?

    Again, reach within the first 3 spots on google and you will find your bounce rate automatically going down, my bounce rate used to be around 50% just 6 months back, but when it came within the 1st 3 spots on google, the bounce rate automatically started going down, the reason i assume is that it keeps the visitor interest more in your site as they count your site to be an authority since it is on first 3 spots on google and start looking for more pages on your site etc, this is what i believe to be the reason and could be something different too.

    Nope, initially i did all the hard work SEO myself, no help from nowhere except for occassional hiring of some outsourcers here at DP, but that is negligible and i assume many people around here do that, basically with the meagre money that i earned from adsense itself i used to get new content, new links etc for the sites and reduced my workdload over a period of time so that i can move on and concentrate on other related tasks and it worked well for me.

    Super story. I must admit that I never grasp article submission. I know you commented a few times in this thread, but I still don't understand your article submission strategy?

    1. Did you write your own articles and hire a submission service?

    2. If you submitted your articles yourself, did you do it manually

    3. You also mention something about owning a article site? Not sure if that was your source for submission or not

    I think there is an order of how you did things, but I'm a little confused about your strategy. May I ask you to clarify with a little more detail on your article submission strategy?

    thanks

    I completely agree about the broad niche aspect. Small mini niches certainly have their merit, but they saturate very quickly and you have to start over. With broad niches you can keep building momentum. I talked about it here:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1917740

    I can certainly vouch for COBSolutions just from reading the thread, there's plenty of BS threads here on DP but this is not one of them

    Not quite clear what effect has links got to do with adsense earnings, except that nice internal linking strucutre enables better crawling and nice backlinks ensure better rankings for your pages, which are essential factors for increasing the adsense earnings too.

    Answers:

    1. Did you write your own articles and hire a submission service? - I use my own article submission service to do this, yes you can get articles written (do it in bulk so that it turns out cheaper), then spin and submit to as many article directories as possible

    2. If you submitted your articles yourself, did you do it manually - Yes, nothing to beat manual as you know the things went through, the old adage 'seeing is believing'

    3. You also mention something about owning a article site? Not sure if that was your source for submission or not - Yes, i do own some nice article directories, you can find one here PR3 110K Alexa Article Directory

    We all know that ranking 1st for competitive terms will bring you money, regardless of which way you're monetizing your site. The tough job is obviously getting to that 1st spot! if I ranked 1st for such competitive Health or Finance terms as you, I wouldn't even bother with Adsense. Stick in a few top-converting affiliate banners for health/finance related products and you'll earn that monthly revenue in a week ;)

    so do u think standing on top of SERPS can only help in yeilding more income or there could be other factors too,,

    WHenver I try gwtting more, the next time either my ecpm drops or CTR which reduces my income, also I've seen that rarely are the chances for a drop in SERPS which brings to this factor what do u suggest.?
