Creating Adsense Sites

More adsense related sites are created as we speak! The key for these sites is build them for a few months and not give up earlier! After a few months of hard work you will see the money roll in! The only thing you have to do is create a friendly blog with good content and build links for like 2 hours a week, after a few months, you will have a nice money maker on your side!

Today my friend Anand and I also started a little motivational contest. We are going into the same niche at the same time and the one that will be earning the most with that single site on adsense after three months will get a free review + $1

Heck, that $1 dollar will be mine (I hope)! nahh.. kidding.. doesn’t matte who will win, it’s about the motivation we get out of this to make our own site a good earner! Will keep you update about my other adsense sites, and will also share the niche’s I am in and what I do to build links!

The banner is actually for the “Reverse Funnel System”, what the heck it is, I don’t know, but I saw it a lot on other blogs to, maybe it is time to find out what it does exactly! Must be making money for some guys!

I’ll keep you updated on it!

Starting New Sites

Lately I didn’t creat many new sites. It also has to do with my internship from school, not much time left to create new sites! Recently I started a new webmaster forum, it has over 500 posts now but not much activity at the moment! Have to make a schedule for everyday to post on it, so it can become a nice place to hang out for webmasters!

Also getting back into the adsense scene! Lately I sold one of my adsense site that I had together with a partner, brought in around $ 150 monthly on adsense. Can’t tell you guys more details on the sale, sorry for that! But getting back into it and I want to create 20 sites that generate money on adsense! Having the first one ready now, all with unique content! It is a dutch site though, about mortgages (hypotheken). 80% of my 20 sites goal will be in English though.

Also started a simple web directory again, just for creating some value and hope to be able to sell it for a few hundred in time! It is Sync Directory which had a pagerank 1 but is currently at 0 again.

Am going to update this blog more often to from now on! Stay tuned and subscribe to my feed if you want to stay up to date on my websites!

How to explain website optimization is important

People not involved in website optimization often have difficulty to understand search engine optimization and the different methods that are involved. If you have to explain the basic SEO concepts to your boss, the following list will help you:

1. Link building is important

Links are like votes for a website. The more votes a website has, the better the rankings.

2. There are different link types

Search engines consider the relevance of the links. Links from unrelated websites don’t help as much as links from relevant websites. A link from a website that has many inbound links for itself counts more than a link from an unpopular website.

3. It’s important to keep on link building

It does not help to get more links than your competing web pages. At least one of your competitors will continue to build links and pass your website. For that reason, it’s important to know that link building is an ongoing activity.

4. Buying links can get you in trouble

Search engines don’t like paid links because they consider the links to your website as editorial votes. Google has officially stated that it considers paid links as an attempt to game the system. Google penalizes websites that buy links. Even if Google cannot automatically find all paid links to your website, your competitors might report your website.

5. Redirects can cause trouble

Redirects have been used by spammers in the past and some search engines still have difficulties with that. If you have to use redirections on your website, only use 301 redirects. A 301 redirect is the only server side redirect that is defined as a permanent redirect. That means that search engines will follow the links and pass the links from the old URL to the new URL.

6. Duplicate content can cause problems

Search engines want to return as many different results as possible in their results. That is why search engines only list one copy of a document in their search results. For that reason, you shouldn’t promote more than one domain for the same website and you should have unique content on your web pages. Near copies are also considered duplicate content, for example, when the same article is listed on more than one website.

7. Why your web pages must be optimized

Search engines use simple software programs to index web pages. These web pages analyze the text on a web page to determine what it is all about. If a keyword is mentioned in the right places and in the right frequency, search engines will consider the web page relevant to that keyword. If a keyword is mentioned too often, search engines might penalize a website because it looks like a spamming attempt.

8. Keywords are the key to your success

It’s important to choose the right keywords for search engine optimization. Single word keywords can be very popular but they seldom lead to sales. Industry specific keywords can be so special that no one searches for them. The perfect keyword is targeted, has a high search volume and leads to sales.

Search engine optimization is not rocket science but it requires some work and ongoing efforts. If you understand the basic SEO concepts, it’s easier to get top 10 rankings on Google and other major search engines.

Make Money, No Excuses

This was something I was doing for the last 2-4 weeks. Making up excuses why I was not making any decent money and was not working on my sites. Currently the money that is made on the net is at a low point and I was making excuses for it. Why am I not making money? Because I don’t work at my websites! This is the only excuse that is true!

That made me decide to get a new theme for new energy! Recently I also bought a fairly large xbox 360 forum which is not monetized at all (yet). This forum is good but does not have many good search engine rankings nor traffic. It needs more backlinks (relevant links), that is why I bought a halo 3 blog! It was up for sale for a very cheap price, holding a pagerank 3 and currently making $10 a month on adsense. I will update this blog like 5 times a month and link to sections at the xbox forum.

But for now: no more excuses for me!
