I casually logged into my adsense account this morning to check what I ended up earning yesterday. The last I had checked, I was up to about $12.00. Well, I hit a new high of $30.18. I am so excited! This was a major spike so the only thing I can think of is that some rankings on some newer sites improved. Unfortunately I can only guess because I somehow managed to not track the channels with adsense. Doh! I know! I won’t be making that mistake anymore and for now on I will be setting up my channels immediately after creating my code to be placed on the site.
Naturally I’m always eager to see what types of back linking efforts will be the best in the long run. Right now I am using UAW and regular good ol’ fashion article marketing. In the past I have used the link juicer; which unfortunately I have not been all that impressed with. I know you have to use it long term in order to see the real benefits from it but unfortunately 2 months was enough time for me to decide not to bother with it anymore. And here I am 3 months later and as I look into my google tools account, I now see almost all of the back links that were once showing up are gone. I just don’t see $47 a month worth it when the backlinks aren’t even sticking anymore or worse they are getting deleted. I am checking out Link Dozer right now. I guess it was a WSO. At $97 a month, it is rather pricey but it appears to offer more long term and better quality back lnks.
Kristina is only allowing 300 members in and it has been opened since the summer. I didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity. I spent most of yesterday watching the videos and checking out the forum and then I started setting up LD as recommended. I’ll let you know how this goes.
I’m still waiting for my new credit card to arrive so I can start outsourcing again next week s for now, just working with Link Dozer.












HI Sara,
Excellent to see that you’re earnings have got better, maybe it has somethign to do with the Google PR update last week which may have helped. Maybe your sites attained some PR or they just imprioved rankings. Also, I think tht over Xmas Google implemented Caffeine which is it’s new algorithm so hopefully that may have helped you for the better….I just think its solid hard work from your part….lol
I know you mentioned before that you were going to take a slight different approach on keyword research, do you think that this has helped with your rankings? I like to be VERY dilligent when deciding on keywords, I also start to use the MOB function in MNF which I’ve found quite useful.
Anyway, congrats, I also have an XFactor site that also makes me between $3-5 per day and ts nice when 1 site alone makes you $100….woooo hooooo, nothing else came close..lol although its good to see the XFactor methodology really making its mark in my AdSense earnings.
I think it accounted for like 40% of overall revenue which is nice.
Anyway, look forward to moreof your excellent posts. IF theres anything I can help with, just shout.

Zaheer,
I definitely think I have finally figured out what keywords to go for and I can now easily take a look at page 1 competition and tell in just a few seconds whether or not it is worth going after. That took me the longest to fine tune, I think.
I think now that if I just continue to build more sites and have about 100 or so, I will be earning a decent amount monthly. Then, I will be able to go back and add more content and focus on back linking more. I am just doing the basics as far as back linking right now. I don’t really have a lot of free time to do it nor have I bothered with looking into having my back links outsourced. perhaps Link Dozer will be a key factor in all of this for me.
Indeed, it is nice to have sites earning $3-5 all on their own. It fascinates me and makes me feel so proud of my keyword research. lol
I wish I could get to that stage with keyword research. I need more practice! What do you go for from the MOB score for your X Factor sites?

Hi Ruth,
When you do your keyword research, what is your method? Once I get an idea of what yo do maybe I can help you fine tune your process?
I do run MOB but I dont focus on it too much, although I only look out for keywords with for example less than 10.
SOC values are helpful but ocmibed with a low ‘exact phrase count’ REALLY has helped me. Sometimes you think to yourself…’Oh My God, did I just purchase that domain name?’….lol, and most times I’m relevied because you do see them ranking.
Anyway, look forward to your rpely….looking forward t some more posts Sara
Regards

Excellent news! Sounds like you are really moving forward, I’m sure it will get higher and higher. I let my X Factor sites go but I’m starting up on them again and I look forward to the day where I can post about earning that much in Adsense

Hi Ruth,
Are you still site flipping? How is that going?
I am taking a break from it purely so I have the time to work a bit more on passive earnings. Before Christmas I flipped A LOT of sites so I would say it is going very well
I might sell off some of my old niche blogs that don’t really do much for me. But I’m not sure, I might also save them since they earn me about £40 (roughly $65) each month in Adsense. Might save them for an emergency when I really need the cash.

I have to say that when i first started with Adsense i was making around £60 a month, this was about 9 months ago.Since then it’s shot up to around £ 100, £200 and now finally £300 a month, so i must be doing something right.
The best way foward is to keep adding more content and keep and eye on your analytics to see which source is bringing you the most profitable traffic.

That is great news on your success David and good advice on watching where your traffic is coming from.
I usually get my checks between the 15th and 30th of the month. You should get yours by the 15th if you have direct deposit set up
It’s very nice to see your progress. I just bought the book a day or so ago and found your site and it’s a blessing
May I ask if you put the adsense block right after the title or do you put a sentence or two before doing that?
I’m reading through the TOC of Google and there’s nothing that says you can’t put the block right below the title or at the start of an article.
Olga
Hi Olga,
Just to be safe, I do have a line of text between the ad block and my actual content.
You seem to be doing great I wish you all the luck in the world!! I shall be following your progress and maybe learning a thing or 2 from you
