How I reached my first goal! (MFA site)

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Mackarn, Sep 1, 2010.

    Finally, I'v reached my first goal! That is one payment from Adsense each month ($100). This is only from a made-for-adsense website, currently #2 on my main keyword, medium paying ads.
    -
    Here's how I did It.

    1) Check out keyword tools for a keyword with 7-10k searches montly, exact match. Make sure there are relevant ads for your keyword. (Sponsored links for example, are they relevant?)
    2) Once u find a good keyword that you want to write about, check out what pops up when you search for it.
    3) Check who is dominating top 5. If It is a strong site (Lots of backlinks and high PR). Then find something else. (if u feel It will be a hard match to compete in the serp, but dont forget everything is possible!)
    4) Once you find a good keyword with relevant ads + low competition @ serp but still good enough search volume, launch a site!
    5) Write lots of content and get backlinks. If everything works as planned, you will slowly progress in the SERP, give it few months. Remember to keep working even if you dont see results, patiance is the key when working with Adsense.
    6) See your income rise!

    Yeasterday I made $8 with 120 page impressions, 48 visits and 15 clicks. This is all because of
    • Backlink building (20 hours~)
    • Content writing (30 hours~)
    • Optimal adplacement with highly RELEVANT ads
    • Userfriendly site

    The whole progress to reach my goal took me two months! For people struggling to get their once-a-month-payment, give RESEARCH more time and you will see results. And most important - be patient.

    Nice tips. But the best advice is the one about patience. Many new publishers expect to see results in a few weeks. Unfortunately, adsense often doesn't work this way.

    Well done for meeting your goals and good luck for the future.

    Do you pay for the traffic or is it solely from the search engines?

    congratulation on reaching your first goal.

    It looks like you made a plan on how to do it which I think is one of the most important element.

    Create a plan and stick to it

    It took me about 6 months to get first payment. Now I earn a regular income.
