How to make money

By Gritz

Sorry for the bland Post Title my friends but I won't be giving away my topics in the titles anymore and if you want to know why then read on.

For the past month I have been fiddling with this blog in order to come to a few basic conclusions. The goal of this blog is to make money with Adsense and not just a little money but rather I want it optimized to bring in the most earnings possible. I have written extensively on this topic before and I am currently trying to fashion a short "everything you need to know about Adsense" book for others to duplicate my success so I won't get into much here. Oh for those interested, you can see my Adsense earnings for the past year here Make Money with Adsense

What I will tell you is that your post title is the hinge that your adsense income swings on. Yes there is more to it than that but in brief let me fill you in on what I have been doing.

My last post was entitled "Does Trackback Spamming Make Money Online" and no sooner did I post the article than my earnings per click dropped in half - about 30 cents per click. The post prior to it was entitled Make Money Online in Canada. While that post sat on the front page I earned 60 cents per click.

So why the sudden drop in earnings?

I'm going to keep this short and simple.

Below is a list of keywords visitors have used over the past hour and half (approx) to find my site.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what keyword brings in the most search traffic. "How to Make Money" is by far my best traffic gatherer.

Now let me explain this so that there is no confusion.

Your post title sets the tone of your post in regards to how the Adsense Bot reads your page. Yes it looks at other factors but the single biggest factor is the Post Title.

When it read the last post it determined that my main focus was on "Trackback Spamming" and when it failed to find relevant ads for that term it then produced ads for "make money online". However it did not provide me with the prime ads for make money online because the post was really about trackback spamming. My traffic came looking for "how to make money" and clicked on the ads but G paid me half of normal because the traffic really wasn't targeted for the post title.

Today the Adsense bot will give me prime ads for "How to Make Money" and the majority of my traffic will come here looking for exactly that - and I will get the best earnings per click.

I will be discussing a number of my findings over the past month in a series of short posts (yes faithful readers - just 1 cup posts) starting soon.

I will leave this post for you to think about - if you are using adsense and not making more than a few cents a click then you now know the biggest reason for your dismal earnings.

You need targeted traffic and targeted posts.

Cheers,

Griz

Update Nov 12

I thought it might be useful to show what happened as far as my Adsense Earnings reacted to the change in post titles. I posted the "Trackback Post" late on November 6 and while the day finished with decent earnings you can see below how quickly the revenue began dropping over the next several days. I posted the "How to Make Money" post on Nov 10 and look at how quickly my earnings changed direction.

By Teresa Tackett

Have you searched for a legitimate home business opportunity, only to find what seem to be scams? Or maybe you just haven’t found anything that fits your interests and needs. Whatever the case, there really are many ways to make money from home. Here is some information that may help you in your search.

First of all, try to decide what area of business you want to work in. For example, are you interested in direct sales or marketing? Are you a good writer? There are many online opportunities from marketing and freelancing to online surveys and affiliate programs. Finding a legitimate home business opportunity really isn’t as difficult as it may seem.

Of course there are hundreds of ways to make money offline, which we will get to in a moment.

If you don’t know anything about these subjects but would like to, why not learn? There are endless resources online like online courses and guides.

Now, if working at a desk or from your computer is not exactly your idea of the perfect home job, there are many other methods. Finding a legitimate home business opportunity can be as easy as thinking of your hobbies and interests! Here are a few ideas:
