What is the secret of your success?

i want to try thosae tricks too-

 

I have changed billboard under the top of my page to square in the text. This cause i have started earning REAL money. Before that my CTR was fair. Now it is on normal level.

 

Good ad placement, and make sure the ad blends in well with the content.

 

Google AdSense official blog says that AdLinks are a great source of revenue... anyone here agreeing with them?

 

I would have to agree.

 

There are many who don't agree with their claim about Google Search box being a great revenue generator... Good that you agree on the AdLinks at least.

 

the google search is ridiculous. the AdLink rocks. I personally dont like to click on the Adlinks but visitors just like to click on them.

 

Merry Chrismas!!

How to "search for high paying keywords on overture or find one of those so called high paying keywords list sites"

Thanks ??

 

I'm not successful yet (getting close to $20 in 2 months), but I'm quite happy with the little progress I've made. These are some tips from DP that work well for me:
1. find a niche
2. write well, post regularly, market it to relevant forums and/or digg.com
3. blend the ads
4. be patient

 

my secret is crack cocaine.

it helps me come up with unique ideas.

 

My secret is to treat it like a buisness. You treat it like a hobby and you get a hobby income.

 

thanks for all the advice y'all

 

yes... I agree...
Most of my revenue from ad units...
In ad units... i noticed.... high paying ads...

 

Before visiting this forum I didn't have the feeling to earn a lot with AdSense. But I have seen that a lot of people are just earning few money with AdSense.

My experience is the following :
I started to develop my web sites in 1998 (No Google at this time) when I was student. During three years I worked each time I had free time (Around 40 hours / week) in order to develop the content of my web sites.
Now day, I am earning about 1600 $ / month and I just have to work around 20 Hours / Month in order to update the content.

My receipt would be :

- Find a subject that you like. (It won't be possible to work hours on a subject that you don't like)
- Build real and UNIQUE content. (It(s not just a one week work, you will need months of hard work if you want to get good content)
- Optimize your web site for search engines (It won't be hard if you have good content)
- Once you get traffic on your web site it is time to think on the way how you can earn money (It is not a need to spend your day on SEO forum while you do not have any valuable content. Start with the beginning !)
- Do not hesitate to watch what your competitor are doing, how much banners they put on each page, which size.. (We have got one luck on internet, we can analyse the business of our competitors just by watching the web pages sources)
- Update your content because visitors and search engines likes fresh content.
- Do not spend your time counting your few $$, work on your web site(s).
- Do not count your time.

So, there is no miracle, without working hard It will not be possible to get any interesting revenue from a web site.

Sorry for my poor english.

I hope it could help.

 

good advice yopla.. i wish i had internet when it was 1998... i was only ... 11 years old... =\ most good domains were available back then.

 

Excellent advice yopla. I've been at it over 10 years and your advice is almost exactly what I've done. There may be a few "get-rich-overnight" stories out there, but they are very rare and I wouldn't want to depend on the income from those kinds of sites. As with most kinds of success, it takes work, time, skill, and creativity.

 

With examples like yours and yopla, many still buy the "secrets" series of books... what do you say to them?

 

I think they cost a lot more then...the only domain registrar was Network Solutions.

 

When we have good content, does it make any difference when we have our own domain with hosting on some free web hosting ?
Or they both will have the same traffic result ?
