choosing the right niche and targeting the keywords, building backlinks, social bookmarking and using social media to generate hype / traffic will all help with the big G. Take action and a bit of hard work. Content is king!!!
Its too difficult to bring your keyword to the top of SE that is why you need more link resources. In this day subdomain is not good if you want to earn.
Actually I have 2 years old blog with regular content and good traffics but less profit. I might have less profitable niche but that is my interest. Now I tried profitable niche but it is hard to get the right rank
Interesting post. Probably a bit basic for most peoples needs. But good try anyway. Some new AdSense publishers will probably benefit from your wise words.
there are easier ways than that, man just make sure you don't make a site related to web stuff ( you will have less click throughs ) if you make a site on general interest ( sports, entertainment, travel) etc, and you have unique content with many pages... you can get a lot of clicks!!! trust me
I believe keeping it simple is what makes you the cash. But there are some very important elements you left out. And that is COMPETITION. If your competition is too strong for a certain keyword phrase - then you need to choose another one similar to that keyword but with less competition. No use of trying to fight with millions of websites - on which the top thousand has a PR5 and been registered for 12 years. Another element is SCHEDULING AND HAVING A GAME PLAN! I admit that I had a problem with "jumping from one program to the next" and when I DID stick with a program - I would not have the discipline to stay on one traffic plan. I would jump from one traffic plan to the next without finishing the one I started. This habit is not as bad as it use to be - I have improved a lot. It is a habit that you newbies have to break AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Don't be like me - I wasted over 10 years before I finally start fixing the main ROOT of the problem and it almost destroyed my life until I took responsibility and fixed the problem.
