What is the best strategy for Adsense?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Arasp, May 21, 2005.

    Let’s say we want to create a content website to generate over $5000 a month off adsense.

    What is the best strategy?
    What is the best content?

    A long time ago, I was giving away Free Web hosting account to the people who agreed to place my adsense in their pages.

    In about two months, I was making about $15 to $20. But after I got the first check, Google understood that I cannot cash the check from Iran. (Because my country is under the USA Trade Sanction). I asked Google to change my country. And they kicked me out of the AdSense. :( Then I forgot about the adsense and …. . Now I have an opportunity that I can cash the American checks from another country.

    Now all you guys, talk about Articles and Content Websites.

    I can simply create a website full of articles and I do know how to generate traffic.

    But my question is why should people read the articles? What is the incentive? Or how can we make people to read them?

    Another question:

    We can also create a News Website. We can work for example on “ICT News” and we extract all the related news from different websites and put them all in our website. Isn’t it better than Article?

    Thanks,

    I think writing your own news and your own articles is a lot better than using news and articles from other web sites. Also, in most cases you can't just take news word-for-word from another site without their permission.

    Create your own content (articles, news, tips, tutorials) and the traffic will come from search engines.

    When you use the same articles that everyone else is using, you get a lot less traffic from the search engines.

    By creating a useful website that is helpful to people, not a site for Adsense.

    So we can use some big news sites like BCC and CNN and paraphrase the sentences.
    When we increase the site page rank, the traffic will increase right?

    But what content is the best?

    I think I cannot target mesothelioma and other high paying ads. Frequency is more important to me. How many people on the world search for Meso stuffs? I guess a few.

    I am also thinking about a place that people share softwares and MP3s. But I guess it violates Google TOSs. I am not sure about it.

    I must find a big incentive for the people who visit my website for the first time.

    You were already violating Google´s TOS with the first sentence of your first post in this thread.

    Yeah. I guess we need to change the news and articles in our own way. We need to change all the sentences.

    We don't need to link to the main site for the full news. we can have all the news in our own website.

    My consideration is something else.

    Why people should read our news or articles? To get educated?
    What is the incentive?

    One idea is to create quizes for each articles. The guys who pass the quiz will get a prize. (maybe a few dollars, or free webhosting or .....) I am not sure, we still need to think.

    hmmmmmmmm. How?
    Disclosing the income? I am not disclosing anything and according to new Adsense policies. It will be ok to tell about your income to anyone.

    Music site . GOOD . A new attraction would be GIVING chance to new music creators . They can make a small midi , mp3 or wave file that you can provide for download and Companies searching for new talents can reach them . You want financial benefits . Keep the contact info to yourself . Act as an agent like a model co - ordinator

    Because Google states that you should not create sites expressly for Adsense. That is not is not to say that it is not done every day.

    I could not find the statement about it in the Google TOS but I did find this which seemed relevant to your earlier musings...

    Copyrighted Material

    In order to avoid associations with copyright claims, website publishers may not display Google ads on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results.

    I do agree with you guys. I am thinking about the good website for people.

    Some of your guys have mentioned that your website has more than 1000 content pages. And some of you say you cannot just copy and paste the other news and article because it is illegal.

    That is what making me a bit confused.
    Does it mean that you have written more thousands of articles yourselves in your websites?

    Or maybe there are some secrets that nobody is gonna tell me and I am gonna find them myself.

    It's not that hard is it?

    You either copy it (stolen, illegal) so it's not unique so there's no incentive to read it.

    OR

    You create UNIQUE content which is interesting so people will read it.

    Now which one will you go for?

    No you aren't - your first post said your goal was to make a site for the purpose of generating $5,000 / mo from AdSense. You didn't say "I want to make a great news/content website that people really like, and hope to have some advertising to help fund it via AdSense."

    In many cases yes it is illegal. Even when its not illegal - its just poor taste. Sheesh - how about make money off your own ideas, thoughts, and hard work instead of copying from others!

    Secrets
    1) Hard work, commitment, honesty and perseverance is far more important than any "secret" or "great idea"
    2) Make money off your own efforts instead of stealing other people's stuff and you'll be much happier
    3) Creating sites for the main purpose of generating AdSense income is a losing proposition in the long-term. Creating great sites with great, original content is a much better idea. Your idea of copying isn't providing ANY value to the user - and in this method you are doing nothing on your own to deserve anything positive.

    If you are considering to start a website from scratch in order to earn money from AdSense, you have a long way to go (2-3 years from now). Reconsider your idea, it is not worth, especially if you plan to write your articles yourself. Waste of time and non-earned money.

    I have a couple of sites that get lots of traffic. On one I wrote some tips on sales and selling, cold calling etc for people on forums where the reply would have been far too long for a forum. this ended up as about a dozen pages or so. they appear very high up for certain sales related searches as people have linked to them from here there and evreywhere.

    As was posted above, build it for people and place ads on it, NOT place ads on it, and pad it out around those ads.
