What You Read Here Could Help, But Probably Won't! Over the past few days, I have been browsing the DP AdSense forums, and I have seen some amazing forum posts. These same forum posts are being consistently bashed, but they could literally change YOUR life within a matter of months, if you stopped to think, "Could this actually work?" Also, some of you need to stop and say, "There's no reason for AdSense to ban me, as long as I follow their TOS, and provide quality content." It seems like some people are so afraid of AdSense, that they disallow themselves to experiment. Hint: Micro Niche Sites... Note: You're not going to get banned, if you're providing quality content. If You're Not Making Money, Here's Why: 1. Shortcuts: Many folks on these forums are looking for shortcuts. When they find these "amazing" shortcuts, within a week, they see that they're way to good to be true. To make matters worse, these individuals continue to look for shortcuts, and fall into a downward spiral of rinsing and repeating things that do not work. 2. Thinking Things Are To Good To Be True, When They're Not: The other problem I see, is people getting bashed by non-believers for advice that's actually good advice. Like I said, I have seen some AMAZING threads posted here, within the past week, and some people are actually IGNORING or not believing in these threads. 3. Not Understanding Internet Marketing, In General: Although it doesn't take a genius, you should know how to rank for whatever keyword you want to rank for. Even if you know you can't rank for a difficult keyword like "weight loss," you should know how to rank for longer tail keywords like "top 10 weight loss tips," or something similar to that fashion. Of course, this means that you must also understand SEO, and have a proper backlink building technique. My Strategy: 1. I Told Myself I Wouldn't Do This: But who cares? It's not like anyone will listen to my marketing strategy anyway. Monday Choose Targeted Niche -- Clickbank Product -- 6 keywords Tuesday Write 3 Posts -- Promote free eBook -- Place AdSense ads Wednesday Write 3 Posts -- Promote free eBook -- Place AdSense -- Link all posts together (SEO) Thursday Create Free 7 - 10 page eBook -- People get eBook via signing up for Newsletter Subscription Friday Create Aweber Autoresponders -- Give out a few free tips -- Promote Clickbank product Saturday Create Squeeze Page that gives away free eBook -- Free eBook will promote Clickbank product -- Build Backlinks Sunday AdWords Traffic to Squeeze Page -- Which promotes FREE eBook -- which promotes Clickbank product. That's my strategy: That's all I do.... Not too hard. But my guess is that people will ignore this post, anyway.
