its not that this is bad advice, its just that its very general. I mean, its like saying "get an education, get a job, invest in the market, make millions". the idea is right but its all about execution.
I knew these steps before, but the ones stated here have got me earning $6+ a day, sometimes $12+ day.
oh, I'm doing nearly same what u say in this thread, shame ^_^ I'll confirm this tip work or not!! atm, my site has about 17 posts and it ranked in page 1 of every google search engines ( 7th-1st ranking) with target keyword "saigon travel" that has around 22,000 global monthly search. And top in some keywords Do you think that my site will get that goal 100$/month?
I have heard of that before. It also takes time a long time. I started my blog 1 year ago and today I get 2000 to 3000 visits on it everyday but I still don't make that kind of money. I am waiting for my site to get little more popular than I will move all the ads on top currently I have them on the bottom of the page.
I think you should expand on the steps a little bit. I have blogs that have over 400 posts, 2 years old but still not earning more than $2 a day.
this things are basic for adsense eanrings. what i will like to add is. Just go for those keywords which has atleast $2 as Avg CPC. so that you can make a $1 or so.
This is the reality...people keep on finding ways to make money with adsense fast....there is no really fast way, you just have to be patient and consistent in developing the contents and backlinks of your website....
Content can help with traffic for a few reasons. LSI can enhance traffic. If you are building content daily you are creating content for the search engines to index and possibly new longtail keywords searchers can find your site on. What the OP said is basic but true. Also providing content to the right niches can generate a lot of traffic. People complain about splogs but an auto blog with your content mixed in centered around a micro niche can bring some very focused traffic that converts well. It is not always about how much traffic but the quality of traffic and if it is quality they will subscribing to your rss feed.
Micro niche is a must to drive target traffic. I use this method for specific keywords (normally long-tail keywords) and sit in the first page of Google search result. Hence your Adsense Revenue will move up quickly.
Both of your websites have a poor alexa rank, which means you need to bring more traffic to your website. Try Blogcatalog and Yahoo Answers. Post some links there and try to get traffic from different parts of world. That will help you in getting more traffic which will help you earn more.
