Make Money with Adsense
SEO, Keywords, Backlinks - It Works - The Proof
My first post on this blog was 2 weeks ago - February 13. The first post was entitled Make Money with Adsense . The goal of this blog is three fold; I want to rank this blog on page 1 in Google for the term (keyword) just mentioned, I want to use the authority gained with such a ranking to push my money site to the top of the serp’s by way of a link from this site and I want to prove to my readers that my system works.
So what have we accomplished in two weeks?
Two weeks ago my money site was ranked #6 on Google for the term “Make Money with Adsense”. Not bad but it didn’t produce a great deal of traffic in 6th spot.
Number 6 in Google
So… how does one push a site up the serp’s to top spot?
One way is to create a new site targeting the keyword in question, round up some keyword anchored backlinks and get the new site ranking well for the same term. Once you accomplish that simply send the original money site a link using the targeted keyword in the anchor. How long this process takes will depend on you and your resources. In my case about two weeks. The point here is to show you that it works and you can speed things up a bit by using a free host such as Today.com. Yes - you could use a self-hosted site but then you wouldn’t have the advantage of the trust and authority already built up on the Today.com domain. As a subdomain you can leech off some of the authority which is faster than starting a new domain from scratch.
So what have we accomplished in two weeks?
Let’s start with this sites rankings - what keywords have I targeted and where do they now sit in the serp’s. (Btw - new readers can find descriptions for various SEO terms like “serp’s” on the SEO Terminology page)
Today.com provides a handy dandy recap of all the search terms that people have found my site for in the search engines. The keywords are shown below. (Click image and then use Magnifier to enlarge further)
Make Money with Adsense Keywords
Using this list I plunk the relevant terms into SEO Elite’s keyword rank checker and monitor the daily rankings in Google.
Like so…
SEO Elite’s Keyword Rankings on Google
I have highlighted the main terms I want to rank well for - these are the terms that I will concentrate my backlinking efforts on. As you can see - most of the main keywords are already on page 2 or better in Google’s search rankings. My primary term is in 5th spot although it is still subject to some daily bouncing back and forth in the serp’s. Overall - not bad for two weeks of work; a half dozen posts augmented with a couple of dozen backlinks. The key of course are the backlinks. Where did they come from and more importantly - what keywords are anchored in those backlinks?
Let’s look shall we…
Keyword Anchored Adsense Backlinks
As you can see it doesn’t take a lot of backlinks to rank #5 for a relatively competitive term if you have backlinks that use your primary keyword in the backlink.
In the first paragraph I said I had three objectives for this site.
I wanted it ranking on page 1 in the serp’s for “make money with Adsense”…
Serp ranking for today.com Adsense blog
Done.
I wanted to show you that my system works… Done.
I wanted to get my money site ranking number 1 in Google for the same term…
Make money with Adsense
Done.
And while we are at it - I mentioned that ranking for “How to” keywords is always a good idea as that is a term used by people searching for info - they are the people who click on Adsense ads.
In this case “How to Make Money with Adsense” and “How to Make Money Adsense“
How to make money with Adsense
Done.
How to make money Adsense
and Done!
Any questions?
To this point I have shown you what SEO is and how effective it is for targeting traffic. To make money with Adsense you first have to understand SEO . It is the process you must use to drive targeted search engine traffic to your site - no other traffic will produce the same results with Adsense.
I will now concentrate on showing you my methods for optimizing your site in order to achieve the best results using Adsense. SEO will deliver the traffic. Adsense will convert that traffic into dollars.

How to Make Money Online with Adsense for Beginners
Keywords and How to use them for Backlinks and for Post Content
Choosing a Niche
I look for niches that can provide me with enough keywords to target in order to drive as much traffic as possible to my site from the search engines.
How I do it.
I look for niches that allow “How to” to be used.
I look for niches that attract “Beginners”
Why?
Because people who are beginners have lots of questions “How to bake cookies”, “how to fly a plane” or “How to Make Money Online with Adsense for Beginners”
People who ask questions want an answer. If the answer appears in an Ad stuck right in front of their face they will click it - especially if you don’t provide the answer anywhere else and eliminate their options. Either click the ad or leave.
Oil Filters
How many keywords can you think of that people would use in the search query for info about “Oil Filters”?
Actually there are more than you think but very few that others would use in a query.
“How to change an oil filter”
“What type of oil filter do I need for a 1952 Corvette?”
“What Brands of Oil Filters are there?”
and a few others.
If none of those keywords can provide 1000 people a day or so (or a combination of them) then this probably isn’t a good niche.
Are there Ads that answer those questions? If so maybe it is a good niche.
What is the deciding factor?
The Traffic - if the keywords have the traffic then do it. No traffic - don’t waste your time.
How do I know if the traffic exists? I create blogger blogs targeted to my test keywords. Write long posts. Get targeted backlinks and wait. If a decent amount of long tail traffic shows up I pursue it more. If I am ranking well for a number of keywords and traffic doesn’t come - I move on.
How to make money with Adsense
How many keywords can you think of that people would use to find an answer for that phrase?
I can think of hundreds. Thousands even. Is there enough traffic for those keywords though? I don’t know - so…
I created a blog called “Make Money with Adsense ” to find out.
Like all my sites I will start out with what I think of as the “Super Keyword”
This is the keyword that contains all my keywords in the one phrase.
Like this one…
How to Make Money Online with Adsense for Beginners
This is a long tail that should be easy to rank for. It won’t get much traffic if anything at all. Doesn’t matter because the backlinks it will get to rank it number 1 for the phrase will also contain juice for other keywords I want to rank for.
Like these…

etc…
Do you see why?
The “super” keyword has all those terms in it or variations.
You get juice for any keywords a backlink has in it. Not just for the phrase as a whole.
Every time I get a backlink using that whole phrase I will also get votes for all those other phrases.
I don’t want a whole bunch of backlinks using that phrase though - only a few. And a few using all the other phrases listed.
A backlink like “making money with Adsense” will give me juice for “money”, “making money”, “Adsense” and “make money”. My post that the backlink is pointed at (or the home page) will gain serp ranking for all those terms from the same backlink.
A niche like this is ideal because it has so many keywords that can be used in your backlinks. This allows your links to have a huge variety (important for looking natural) while still sending juice for multiple terms at the same time.

Introducing Adsense for Beginners
Hey folks. I have started a new site dedicated to explaining the fine art of making money online using Adsense. You can find the new blog here; Make Money with Adsense
Due to the overwhelming amount of emails I get requesting help with or needing answers pertaining to Adsense I have decided to start from scratch and lay out the framework for my Adsense system on a site of its own. The posts are targeted to those who have no knowledge whatsoever about this business so keep that in mind if you have been a long time reader. You will have read much of it before - at least the initial posts which cover the basics. While discussing what I do I will also be demonstrating my techniques using the new site as an example of how to tweak it, SEO it and rank it in the serp's. In future I hope to send the new readers to the site for all the info they will need to earn a living with Adsense. This should reduce my emails and solve the problem of finding all the pertinent info on this blog - yes - my navigation here sucks and even I can't find what I'm looking for most of the time. Sorry about that.
The site is built as a sub-domain on Today.com and I am using it in order to demonstrate to my experienced readers my process of building a network. Like always I run the risk of showing to much but the "farm" questions that my last post aroused has led me to realize that many of you need help in establishing your own networks. This site will give you a good idea of how I go about it.
You don't always need to start a new self hosted blog. You don't really need to spend money - there are many free platforms that you can use and the more you use the better. The idea is to spread your sites out across as many C Class IP's as you can. Some sites will be anonymous or use fictitious names. Others will be flagships proudly using your name. A network consists of a variety of blogs, websites, one page sales pages or whatever you can think of. The point is to create a network that you have access to and can control the juice on. It's easy finding backlinks if you have hundreds of sites to choose from...
In any event I won't be discussing "farming" here. I am in the process of helping a "friend" set up a site dedicated to this topic though - I shall let you all know when it is ready.
