Well i know a local country publisher who made his fortune with adsense. He used two general interest of mass people. One is Student Visa and Higher admission information. 2nd is Job (full time partime overseas job). He created two cool looking sites with proper adsense placement. And advertised the site in all leading newspapers of that country. He was getting like 700 000+ visitors per day whenever the newspaper advertisement was running. He never tried to create site for international market. He focused on local niche and used newspaper as an advertising medium. I have heard so much about online advertising digg stumble mixx ezine yahoo answer youtube google seo adword etc. But that guy was successful with offline advertising. But how long that success will continue and if that is regular income is still a question. I have a feeling basic interest sites will do well. For example Zapak.com is a gaming site and it did well in india with tv advertising.
same as joel comm.. .. anyway im not saying dont try this..there are lots of ways to crack adsense..and i already cracked mine without paying a dime to anyone..the key to earn more is just very simple formula. original content + adplacement (multiply by) Traffic = More Adsense earnings of course dont forget to have site that has a high keywords bid price from adwords. lets keep it simple and true..
I think Jimkarter greatly inflates his income and does not earn nearly as much as he says he does. When you have an online make money blog, it always shrewed to spout some garbage sto increase traffic to the blog.
2 schools of thought : Quality vs Quantity, I cannot decide , so I will suggest a combination of the 2
Look Jim, I am not saying you don't earn really big, but I'm saying not as much as you say you do. Of course I could be wrong, but I know some people exaggerate because it creates a viral marketing effect for them, which gets around fast. Just look at how many people have become your RSS subscribers after you posted those big income numbers.
Hi Jim !! But you must reconsider publishing your earning reports again or atleast you could give us some hint about which new barriers you are breaking !! Those are eye openers for newbies like us and give us an idea about the potential of this market. You are an inspiration for so many of us out here. What say ?
I have a local site and it didn't do that good when advertised in newspaper. Maybe I did something wrong
What a pointless thread! First, everyone knows that creating more sites will earn you more revenue (provided you get the traffic). But have you got the time and devotion to do it by yourself? Second, Jim is among the very few successful people who have the courage and generosity to reveal how he's making it for free. Are there anyone out there who's willing to do that without reservation? If that's getting him more RSS readers, good for him and good for his readers because people like reading good info - what's the harm in that? I'm myself subscribed to his feeds since a long time and the information is really good. Third, he didn't reveal all his sites on his blog but is using an eChemotheraphy case study to show the novice how to make a site rank and earn money. Is that not enough for you? It's spoonfeeding all the way but no, some people need to pay some dodgy websites to steal information about others. Yeh, the pub-id is publicly available just like the contents on any site, will you be happy when people start taking your content and put on their sites and get you into duplicate penalty. And pessimists will always be pessimists because when the cup is already full, you cannot make more go into it no matter how hard you try.
I think that sums it up, rightly said mate Please bury this thread, go read jim's blog and try making some money....if it is not possible, then come back and bump this again... so you get new ideas
I really doub this guy's going to reveal his seo secrets if he's making that much there's got to be some unique aspect to his approach
he does make that , infact nobody ever tells you the real amount. he probably makes a lot more. he outsources allllll of his work to a team. you can too once you start hiring writers to do volume seo writing... He has a case study for his web site echemotherapy.com/ he walks you through step by step. the bottom line is after he does his keyword research he outsources his writing to a team... he starts with at least 30 articles and keeps adding articles for at least 3 months and then ads adsense and kontera, affiliate etc... game over. FYI: do your keyword research. get 25 articles written. automate the whole shabang with mike steups plrarticlepro.com. no biggie. repeat it for at least 30 sites...
