However, if you’ve heard about&lt;br /&gt;this “Google AdSense thing” and aren’t sure exactly how it works or how to&lt;br /&gt;make money with it, then this section is for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense in a nutshell is, Google drop some JavaScript code on your web&lt;br /&gt;Pages or Blogger Blogs if you don’t have a website, Google figures out what ads to show, and when people click on those&lt;br /&gt;ads you earn money. Once a month Google will either send you a check or&lt;br /&gt;make a direct deposit into your bank account for the money that you earned&lt;br /&gt;in the month prior (as long as you’ve earned at least $100). So, for&lt;br /&gt;example, if you earn $1,000 in January, toward the end of February you will&lt;br /&gt;get paid your $1,000. Toward the end of March you will get paid for&lt;br /&gt;February’s clicks, etc.&lt;br /&gt;But you can’t earn a dime without an AdSense account, can you? If you&lt;br /&gt;don’t already have an AdSense account, the next section will tell how to go&lt;br /&gt;about getting one–even if you don’t have a website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BLOGS &amp; GOOGLE ADSENSE Free E-Books and websites:&lt;br /&gt;www.bloggingtothebank.com&lt;br /&gt;http://isaac2006.3500weekly.hop.clickbank.net www.bloggergenerator.com&lt;br /&gt;http://isaac2006.astracker.hop.clickbank.net/&lt;br /&gt;http://www.adsensegold.com/adsensebook.php?hop=isaac2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to Get an AdSense Account on the First Try&lt;br /&gt;If you don’t already have an AdSense account, you can apply for one at:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.google.com/adsense/&lt;br /&gt;Just click the big “Click here to Apply” button and you’ll be taken through an&lt;br /&gt;application process. You will need to already have a decent looking&lt;br /&gt;website to get an account.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that’s right. If you don’t have a website, don’t apply for an account yet.&lt;br /&gt;Or if your website is a personal home page or doesn’t look very professional,&lt;br /&gt;don’t apply yet–you’ll probably be rejected. There is a way to almost always&lt;br /&gt;get an AdSense account on the first try, and it’s easy to do. Here are the&lt;br /&gt;steps:&lt;br /&gt;Step 1: Setup a blog at Blogger.com/start&lt;br /&gt;Google doesn’t usually accept free websites into their AdSense program.&lt;br /&gt;The exception to that rule are Blogger.com blogs. So if you don’t have a&lt;br /&gt;website yet or have one that isn’t very professional, but you want to get an&lt;br /&gt;AdSense account and get started, go to Blogger and create a blog on the&lt;br /&gt;topic you want to make money with. Choosing the best money-making&lt;br /&gt;topics is covered in a later section, so you might want to hold off on doing&lt;br /&gt;this until you’ve read that section.&lt;br /&gt;Step 2: Make some well thought-out posts on your new blog&lt;br /&gt;Twice a day for three days go to your new blog and write a good,&lt;br /&gt;informative post. If your blog is about model airplanes, you might discuss&lt;br /&gt;some of the best tools for building the airplanes, or which companies create&lt;br /&gt;the best quality models, etc. If your blog is about health insurance you&lt;br /&gt;might make posts about how to get the best insurance rates, the pros and&lt;br /&gt;cons of HMOs, or whatever other topics you can think of on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;Get a good five or six posts on the blog over a period of three or four days,&lt;br /&gt;and then go apply for an AdSense account using your new blog url as the&lt;br /&gt;website you submit on the application.&lt;br /&gt;Google loves to hand out AdSense accounts for Blogger blogs, and they will&lt;br /&gt;almost always accept a decent blog publisher into the program.&lt;br /&gt;Here’s the beautiful part: Once you have an AdSense account, you can&lt;br /&gt;put your AdSense code on any of your websites without Google having to&lt;br /&gt;approve each one. The only exceptions are adult or gambling related sites.&lt;br /&gt;Google doesn’t allow those into the program, so do not put your AdSense&lt;br /&gt;code on sites like that–it could get you kicked out of the program.&lt;br /&gt;Once you have an account, it’s time to start building sites and making&lt;br /&gt;money! But before we get into that, there’s a little vocabulary that you’ll&lt;br /&gt;need to know to understand what your AdSense reports are telling you.&lt;br /&gt;That’s covered in the next section.&lt;br /&gt;An AdSense Vocabulary Lesson&lt;br /&gt;If you’ve visited any forums where people discuss AdSense, you’ll see all&lt;br /&gt;kinds of abbreviations and hear all kinds of terms that you might not&lt;br /&gt;understand. Also, when you login to your AdSense account for the first time&lt;br /&gt;and look at the reports, you’ll see a number of abbreviations as well. Here’s&lt;br /&gt;a list of the most common ones, and a plain-english description of what they&lt;br /&gt;mean:&lt;br /&gt;Page Impressions&lt;br /&gt;When somebody goes to your website and loads a page in their web&lt;br /&gt;browser, Google counts that as one “page impression”. That means one pair&lt;br /&gt;of eyes has seen one page of your site. If that same person browses around&lt;br /&gt;and looks at 10 pages of your site, Google counts that as 10 page&lt;br /&gt;impressions. So basically a page impression is just how many of your pages&lt;br /&gt;were looked at by people.&lt;br /&gt;Page CTR&lt;br /&gt;CTR stands for “click through rate”. It’s expressed as a percentage of the&lt;br /&gt;page impressions that resulted in somebody clicking one of the AdSense&lt;br /&gt;ads. So, for example, if you had 1,000 page impressions, and those 1,000&lt;br /&gt;page impressions resulted in 100 clicks on the ads, that is a 10% Page CTR&lt;br /&gt;(100/1000 = 10%).&lt;br /&gt;Page eCPM&lt;br /&gt;eCPM stands for “effective cost per millie”. “Millie” means thousand. CPM is&lt;br /&gt;what the old world of banner advertisements used in pricing their ads. If a&lt;br /&gt;site had a $10 CPM, that meant that you as an advertiser would pay $10 for&lt;br /&gt;every 1,000 page impressions that your ad was shown on.&lt;br /&gt;With AdSense, eCPM is telling you how much you are earning (or will earn),&lt;br /&gt;on average, for every 1,000 page impressions. If you have a $25 eCPM,&lt;br /&gt;that means you are earning (or will earn) $25 in clicks for every 1,000 page&lt;br /&gt;impressions on your site.&lt;br /&gt;Google shows you this figure so you can get an idea of how much money they&lt;br /&gt;are paying you than a banner advertising network will pay you. I have some&lt;br /&gt;sites with eCPM values as high as $300, $500, $700 and more. That means&lt;br /&gt;for every 1,000 page impressions I’m earning $300-$700 on those sites.&lt;br /&gt;How I do that will be discussed later.&lt;br /&gt;EPC&lt;br /&gt;You won’t see the term EPC in your Google AdSense reports, but you’ll hear&lt;br /&gt;it a lot if you hang out on AdSense forums. EPC stands for “earnings per&lt;br /&gt;click”, and just means how much you earn for each click.&lt;br /&gt;Channels&lt;br /&gt;By default, all of your page impressions and clicks are dropped into one&lt;br /&gt;giant bucket. By default, you have no way of knowing how much each&lt;br /&gt;individual site earned (if you have multiple sites), or how much each&lt;br /&gt;individual page earned, etc. “Channels” are Google’s way of letting you&lt;br /&gt;break down your earnings into “sections” so you can analyze each website&lt;br /&gt;or each page independently to see where the money is coming from. Google&lt;br /&gt;only lets you have 200 channels, which is pretty lousy if you have a lot of&lt;br /&gt;sites or a very large site. I’ll discuss how to get around that in a later&lt;br /&gt;section.&lt;br /&gt;AdLinks (or Ad Units)&lt;br /&gt;AdLinks, or Ad Units, are just another type of AdSense ad. The basic&lt;br /&gt;AdSense ad is a block of links with short descriptions that when a visitor&lt;br /&gt;clicks, you get paid. Ad Links are a little different. They show linked topics&lt;br /&gt;that are related to your page, and when people click on those they are then&lt;br /&gt;taken to a different page and presented with a list of ads. If they decide to&lt;br /&gt;click on one of those ads, you get paid. You can see what AdLinks look like&lt;br /&gt;by visiting Google’s “Ad Formats” page. It shows all of the available ad&lt;br /&gt;formats, including Ad Links:&lt;br /&gt;https://www.google.com/adsense/adformats&lt;br /&gt;Ad Filter&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes Google might decide to show ads on your page that aren’t really&lt;br /&gt;related to your page content at all. When that happens, you have the option&lt;br /&gt;of going into your AdSense account and adding those sites to your Ad Filter.&lt;br /&gt;Google will not show ads from any site that you put in your Ad Filter. Also,&lt;br /&gt;if your competitor’s ads show up on your pages, that’s another reason to use&lt;br /&gt;your Ad Filter.&lt;br /&gt;Alright, Enough Vocabulary!&lt;br /&gt;Enough with the vocabulary lesson! Let’s get down to business and see how&lt;br /&gt;the AdSense Big Dogs earn the big bucks.&lt;br /&gt;Getting the Most out of AdSense Page 17&lt;br /&gt;What it Takes to Earn Big Bucks with AdSense&lt;br /&gt;The general idea of Google AdSense is very, very simple: drop some code on&lt;br /&gt;your web pages and when people click the ads, you make money.&lt;br /&gt;But there are a number of important questions to ask when building sites so&lt;br /&gt;that you earn the most money for your time and effort. The most important&lt;br /&gt;of those questions are:&lt;br /&gt;1. How do I design a site so that will get the most clicks?&lt;br /&gt;2. What topics are the most valuable and will earn me the most money?&lt;br /&gt;3. How can I track the results of my efforts to see where I can expand&lt;br /&gt;and improve?&lt;br /&gt;Those are the big questions. And there are good answers to those&lt;br /&gt;questions! Let’s discuss each one, one step at a time:&lt;br /&gt;1. Designing a Site to Get the Most Clicks&lt;br /&gt;Site design is very important in the quest to earn money with AdSense. If&lt;br /&gt;you put the wrong kinds of ads up, or put them in the wrong place on the&lt;br /&gt;page, you might get some clicks, but you will earn a lot less than if you&lt;br /&gt;know the best way to format your AdSense ads and follow it. I’ll give you a&lt;br /&gt;general idea of how to do this, but for precise details about how to exactly&lt;br /&gt;layout your website to maximize revenue, read my ebook “Triple Your&lt;br /&gt;AdSense CTR In Three Easy Steps”, which is available in my AdSense Gold&lt;br /&gt;package. http://www.AdsenseGold.com/&lt;br /&gt;When designing your site, you want to put the ads where they will be seen&lt;br /&gt;and clicked the most. This is usually toward the top of the page. The ads&lt;br /&gt;should definitely be visible when the page first opens. Don’t hide them away&lt;br /&gt;on the sides or at the bottom of the page.&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, you should make the ads blend in with the site so that they don’t&lt;br /&gt;look like ads. This means making the colors of the ads match the colors of&lt;br /&gt;your site. People have become “blind” to advertisements since they are so&lt;br /&gt;used to seeing them on websites, so you have to get those ads in front of&lt;br /&gt;them without them realizing they are ads. Then, instead of outright ignoring&lt;br /&gt;the ads, they can look at what the ads are offering and make a conscious&lt;br /&gt;decision of whether or not to click. When they do choose to click, you get&lt;br /&gt;paid.&lt;br /&gt;2. Selecting the Most Valuable Topics&lt;br /&gt;It’s pretty obvious that some advertisements are worth more than others.&lt;br /&gt;People spend millions of dollars for a 30 second commercial during the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Super Bowl (and other huge sporting events) because that ad space is so&lt;br /&gt;valuable. But they will only pay a fraction of that for their ad to be shown&lt;br /&gt;during a regular television show. The same is true with AdWords advertisers.&lt;br /&gt;For advertisers, certain keywords are worth a lot more than others.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes this might be counter-intuitive. For example, you might think&lt;br /&gt;that the keywords “sports cars” would be very valuable because sports cars&lt;br /&gt;are very expensive. But among the group of people searching for “sports&lt;br /&gt;cars” are a lot of people who just want to see pictures of sports cars, or&lt;br /&gt;people who just have an interest in sports cars but aren’t looking to buy&lt;br /&gt;one.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, people searching for “sports car insurance”–ah!–they are&lt;br /&gt;looking to buy. I mean, who searches for “sports car insurance” for fun,&lt;br /&gt;right? As it turns out the value of clicks for the terms “sports car insurance”&lt;br /&gt;is almost seven times as much as the value of clicks for just “sports&lt;br /&gt;cars”.&lt;br /&gt;This means that it’s very important that you know what keywords to target&lt;br /&gt;before you build content for your web pages. If you’re just building a hobby&lt;br /&gt;site and AdSense is just there to pay for the web hosting or earn you a few&lt;br /&gt;extra dollars a month that might not matter to you.&lt;br /&gt;But if you’re looking to earn real money with AdSense, then you want to&lt;br /&gt;build websites that are focused on the keywords that pay you the most&lt;br /&gt;money when people click. You can find out how much keywords are worth by setting up an AdWords account and using the AdWords “Traffic Estimator Tool”. Here’s what it lookslike:&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31361775-115445203973725140?l=blogsandgoogleadsenseincome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogsandgoogleadsenseincome.blogspot.com/feeds/115445203973725140/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31361775&amp;postID=115445203973725140' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31361775/posts/default/115445203973725140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31361775/posts/default/115445203973725140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogsandgoogleadsenseincome.blogspot.com/2006/08/how-to-use-free-blogs-google-adsense.html' title=''/><author><name>Isaac</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08223767970075391608</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31361775.post-115436325875931959</id><published>2006-07-31T09:25:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-31T09:27:38.776-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>How To Use Free Blogs &amp; Google Adsense To Earn $100 - $1,000 Daily (Part 2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdWords Traffic Estimator Tool&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, this tool lets you enter some keywords, set the Max CPC&lt;br /&gt;(cost per click), and select the language and the countries you want to see&lt;br /&gt;the estimates for. Always use “100.00” as the Max CPC, because that tells&lt;br /&gt;you the highest bids for the keywords, which is what you really want to&lt;br /&gt;know. Once you’ve entered the information, you click “Continue”. The&lt;br /&gt;results for this particular set of information at this particular time are shown&lt;br /&gt;below:&lt;br /&gt;AdWords Traffic Estimator Tool Results&lt;br /&gt;Notice that “sports car insurance” has a value of $12.81 per click, versus&lt;br /&gt;only $1.86 for “sports cars”–like I said, “sports car insurance” is worth&lt;br /&gt;almost seven times more. So before putting up pages and websites, you&lt;br /&gt;can run the keywords you’re thinking of building content for through this&lt;br /&gt;tool and see if your idea of what pays best is correct or not.&lt;br /&gt;But I’m warning you, using this method is like shooting in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;As I mentioned before, what you think should be high paying and what&lt;br /&gt;actually is high paying are often very different. The best way to quickly find&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;out what the real high paying keywords are is to get a list of keywords that&lt;br /&gt;have already been run through the Traffic Estimator and were found to have&lt;br /&gt;a high cost per click (CPC) value.&lt;br /&gt;The best list of high paying keywords and their AdWords CPC values right&lt;br /&gt;now is available from KeywordCountry.com&lt;br /&gt;Also, you need to track where your traffic is coming from, and which traffic&lt;br /&gt;sources are getting you the most clicks. Are you getting a lot of traffic from&lt;br /&gt;Google? Or Yahoo? Or MSN? Of the big three search engines, which one is&lt;br /&gt;sending you the most clicks? Knowing this tells you where to focus your&lt;br /&gt;efforts. If Google makes you the most money, you should focus your efforts&lt;br /&gt;on ranking well in Google first. If it’s Yahoo or MSN, you focus on those&lt;br /&gt;first.&lt;br /&gt;Putting it All Together&lt;br /&gt;By discovering the answers to the three questions covered above, it didn’t&lt;br /&gt;take me long before AdSense let me quit my day job as a computer&lt;br /&gt;programmer and start working for myself–it only took about six months.&lt;br /&gt;And I didn’t know any of what I’m teaching you in this article when I started&lt;br /&gt;out. You’re six steps ahead of me just because you’re reading this article!&lt;br /&gt;Design your sites to maximize clicks, build your content around the highest&lt;br /&gt;paying topics using KeywordCountry.com&lt;br /&gt;That’s what it takes. Repeat that process&lt;br /&gt;over and over and you’re on your way to becoming an AdSense Big Dog&lt;br /&gt;yourself!&lt;br /&gt;6. Building Cost Effective AdSense Sites&lt;br /&gt;One thing that makes AdSense different from other businesses such as&lt;br /&gt;creating and selling your own products online is that it requires a lot more&lt;br /&gt;websites with a lot more content. Your AdSense money comes from having&lt;br /&gt;a lot of pages in the search engines, with a lot of links to those pages. Lots&lt;br /&gt;of visitors means lots of clicks, and that means lots of content on lots of&lt;br /&gt;websites.&lt;br /&gt;If this sounds expensive, it can be–but it doesn’t have to be. I’m going to&lt;br /&gt;discuss two resources that are available to keep your costs down and your&lt;br /&gt;profits up. They are:&lt;br /&gt;1. Creating blogs&lt;br /&gt;2. Affordable web hosting&lt;br /&gt;3. Creating a lot of content&lt;br /&gt;Creating Blogs&lt;br /&gt;If your budget is really tight, you can always start off by creating&lt;br /&gt;Blogger.com blogs and putting AdSense on them. You can promote those&lt;br /&gt;blogs and get clicks and not have to pay monthly fees for hosting. Blogger&lt;br /&gt;blogs can be formatted using the best formats shown here: www.bloggingtothebank.com&lt;br /&gt;they’re great for generating AdSense revenue.&lt;br /&gt;I have a number of Blogger blogs from my early days of AdSense site&lt;br /&gt;creation. And dangit, I just love the interface. It’s simple and easy to use.&lt;br /&gt;You don’t have to know any HTML code, their templates look great, and a&lt;br /&gt;respectable blog is easy to get people to link to.&lt;br /&gt;So if you’re just starting out and don’t have the money for hosting fees, a&lt;br /&gt;Blogger blog is the way to go. Once you start earning some AdSense&lt;br /&gt;money, then you can start expanding into paid hosting. I’ll discuss how to&lt;br /&gt;get traffic to your blogs (and your websites) in a later section.&lt;br /&gt;Affordable Web Hosting&lt;br /&gt;You may already have a little money to invest, or maybe you’ve grown your&lt;br /&gt;Blogger blogs to make enough money to pay for web hosting. The next step&lt;br /&gt;is to move to paid hosting.&lt;br /&gt;Paid hosting gives you a lot of freedom and abilities that blogs simply do&lt;br /&gt;not. The ability to run scripts, and have your own domain name (ie., www.mydomain.com), to have an email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense CTR In Three Easy Steps” ebook at the AdSense Gold website, so&lt;br /&gt;they’re great for generating AdSense revenue.&lt;br /&gt;I have a number of Blogger blogs from my early days of AdSense site&lt;br /&gt;creation. And dangit, I just love the interface. It’s simple and easy to use.&lt;br /&gt;You don’t have to know any HTML code, their templates look great, and a&lt;br /&gt;respectable blog is easy to get people to link to.&lt;br /&gt;So if you’re just starting out and don’t have the money for hosting fees, a&lt;br /&gt;Blogger blog is the way to go. Once you start earning some AdSense&lt;br /&gt;money, then you can start expanding into paid hosting. I’ll discuss how to&lt;br /&gt;get traffic to your blogs (and your websites) in a later section.&lt;br /&gt;Equally importantly was the support. I know my support guy by name–&lt;br /&gt;Simon. His response times have been fantastic, and as the AQHost.com&lt;br /&gt;business has grown and expanded and even changed location, there has&lt;br /&gt;been very little down time, and all the way Simon has been informative,&lt;br /&gt;supportive and helpful.&lt;br /&gt;When first starting out with AdSense you don’t need a lot of money, but if&lt;br /&gt;you’re creating all of the content for your website, you will need a lot of&lt;br /&gt;time. Now, I highly recommend creating websites with your own content if&lt;br /&gt;you have the time and ability to do so. Write you own articles and post&lt;br /&gt;them to your site or blogs. That ensures that your site will have uniqueness and&lt;br /&gt;staying power. People will link to it and it will grow and prosper.&lt;br /&gt;But when you’re first starting out, it helps to get a kick-start by using other&lt;br /&gt;people’s content. Is that plagiarism? Not at all. In fact, the authors of this&lt;br /&gt;free content want you to use it on your websites. They encourage you to do&lt;br /&gt;so! Why?&lt;br /&gt;Here’s how it works: these authors write these articles and submit them to&lt;br /&gt;free article sites where you can go and copy the articles to put on your own&lt;br /&gt;site. The articles contain an “About the Author” section which you are&lt;br /&gt;required to keep in the article. That section points to the author’s website.&lt;br /&gt;If a few hundred or a few thousand other websites have this article on their&lt;br /&gt;site, imagine how much traffic that will bring to the author’s site as people&lt;br /&gt;click the link in the “About the Author” section!&lt;br /&gt;Another benefit to the author is that his site gains link popularity. I’ll tell&lt;br /&gt;you more about why that’s so important in the section on getting traffic to&lt;br /&gt;your website. But for now, just know that it is very important.&lt;br /&gt;The benefit to you of using these articles is that you get content for your&lt;br /&gt;website without having to write it yourself! It takes time to gather up all of&lt;br /&gt;these articles for your site, which you can dig up at:&lt;br /&gt; www.EzineArticles.com&lt;br /&gt;www.ArticleCity.com&lt;br /&gt;www.GoArticles.com&lt;br /&gt;www.Article-Directory.net etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search Engines and Duplicate Content&lt;br /&gt;It’s important to note that other sites are using these articles, and the&lt;br /&gt;search engines don’t like what they call “duplicate content”–that is, the&lt;br /&gt;same information appearing on a bunch of different sites.&lt;br /&gt;To prevent the search engines from seeing your article pages as duplicate&lt;br /&gt;content, all you have to do is put between 30% and 40% of unique content&lt;br /&gt;on the page in addition to the article. This means your site’s header and&lt;br /&gt;footer, and some extra related information.&lt;br /&gt;RSS feeds are great for this. In case you don’t know, an RSS feed is just a&lt;br /&gt;list of short articles or posts or summaries of content that appears on&lt;br /&gt;another web site. It’s a kind of “snapshot” of what’s new at a website or&lt;br /&gt;blog. With the great proliferation of blogs these days, and with almost every&lt;br /&gt;blog having an RSS feed, the world is your oyster in terms of extra content&lt;br /&gt;for your pages!&lt;br /&gt;It’s easy to find RSS feeds to use on your sites. Personally, I like MSN’s RSS&lt;br /&gt;feed search. Just go to search.msn.com and search for “feed:[keywords]”.&lt;br /&gt;For example, if your site is about internet marketing, then search at MSN for&lt;br /&gt;“feed:internet marketing” (no quotes). Many of the RSS feeds allow you to&lt;br /&gt;republish them on your site. Find some that do and copy/paste those feeds&lt;br /&gt;onto the pages of your website. That way the pages are unique in the eyes&lt;br /&gt;of the search engines and your pages don’t suffer from the “duplicate&lt;br /&gt;content penalty”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putting it All Together&lt;br /&gt;If you don’t have the money to pay for hosting, or if you just want to make&lt;br /&gt;a little money from AdSense before spending any, then Blogger.com blogs&lt;br /&gt;are the way to go..&lt;br /&gt;Once you graduate from Blogger.com to paid hosting, then be sure to find a&lt;br /&gt;great host that supports all of the features and technologies outlined above.&lt;br /&gt;Great support is key. The host I recommend is AQHost.com. They have&lt;br /&gt;always been very, very good to me and I’ve hosted several sites with them.&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I recommend you write a lot of unique content yourself, but to get&lt;br /&gt;yourself started, use free articles from article submission sites. Be&lt;br /&gt;sure to make the pages unique using RSS feeds or other content.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, a website won’t make you a dime if nobody ever sees it! So the&lt;br /&gt;next section will deal with how to get traffic to your websites so you can&lt;br /&gt;start making some real AdSense money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Getting Traffic to Your Websites&lt;br /&gt;The formula for AdSense discussed so far is pretty simple: the right page&lt;br /&gt;layout + high paying topics + great tracking = AdSense profits! But there’s&lt;br /&gt;one piece missing from that formula. That piece is traffic. After all, if&lt;br /&gt;there’s nobody coming to your site to click the ads, you won’t earn anything.&lt;br /&gt;The best way to get traffic to your sites is to have your sites rank well in the&lt;br /&gt;search engines for the keywords that your pages are targeting. There are a&lt;br /&gt;number of techniques you can use to do this. The steps I use to accomplish&lt;br /&gt;this are:&lt;br /&gt;1. Research the Keywords&lt;br /&gt;2. Analyze the Competition&lt;br /&gt;3. On Page Optimization&lt;br /&gt;4. Get Lots of Links to the Pages&lt;br /&gt;8. Closing Comments&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it, the basics of starting a profitable AdSense business.&lt;br /&gt;You are now six steps ahead of where I was when I first started. When I&lt;br /&gt;created my first website I didn’t know what layout worked best for AdSense.&lt;br /&gt;I didn’t know that some keywords paid huge amounts more than others. I&lt;br /&gt;didn’t know I could get free content to kick-start my AdSense earnings, and&lt;br /&gt;I had no clue about what search engine optimization was or how to make it&lt;br /&gt;work for me.&lt;br /&gt;Despite that I was still able to quit my job as  in&lt;br /&gt;about six months. It took a lot of dedication and learning, but it paid off&lt;br /&gt;handsomely!&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, I strongly recommend that you take a close look at the&lt;br /&gt;products and services mentioned in this ebook. make up what I still&lt;br /&gt;use to create profitable AdSense websites:&lt;br /&gt;1. www.bloggingtothebank.com&lt;br /&gt;2. www.3500weekly.com&lt;br /&gt;3. www.bloggergernerator,com&lt;br /&gt;     4.  http://isaac2006.astracker.hop.clickbank.net/&lt;br /&gt;     http://www.adsensegold.com/adsensebook.php?hop=isaac2006&lt;br /&gt;     http://isaac2006.astracker.hop.clickbank.net&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31361775-115436325875931959?l=blogsandgoogleadsenseincome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogsandgoogleadsenseincome.blogspot.com/feeds/115436325875931959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31361775&amp;postID=115436325875931959' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31361775/posts/default/115436325875931959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31361775/posts/default/115436325875931959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogsandgoogleadsenseincome.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-use-free-blogs-goog_115436325875931959.html' title=''/><author><name>Isaac</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08223767970075391608</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31361775.post-115436325391808146</id><published>2006-07-31T09:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-31T09:27:33.936-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>How To Use Free Blogs &amp; Google Adsense To Earn $100 - $1,000 Daily (Part 2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdWords Traffic Estimator Tool&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, this tool lets you enter some keywords, set the Max CPC&lt;br /&gt;(cost per click), and select the language and the countries you want to see&lt;br /&gt;the estimates for. Always use “100.00” as the Max CPC, because that tells&lt;br /&gt;you the highest bids for the keywords, which is what you really want to&lt;br /&gt;know. Once you’ve entered the information, you click “Continue”. The&lt;br /&gt;results for this particular set of information at this particular time are shown&lt;br /&gt;below:&lt;br /&gt;AdWords Traffic Estimator Tool Results&lt;br /&gt;Notice that “sports car insurance” has a value of $12.81 per click, versus&lt;br /&gt;only $1.86 for “sports cars”–like I said, “sports car insurance” is worth&lt;br /&gt;almost seven times more. So before putting up pages and websites, you&lt;br /&gt;can run the keywords you’re thinking of building content for through this&lt;br /&gt;tool and see if your idea of what pays best is correct or not.&lt;br /&gt;But I’m warning you, using this method is like shooting in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;As I mentioned before, what you think should be high paying and what&lt;br /&gt;actually is high paying are often very different. The best way to quickly find&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;out what the real high paying keywords are is to get a list of keywords that&lt;br /&gt;have already been run through the Traffic Estimator and were found to have&lt;br /&gt;a high cost per click (CPC) value.&lt;br /&gt;The best list of high paying keywords and their AdWords CPC values right&lt;br /&gt;now is available from KeywordCountry.com&lt;br /&gt;Also, you need to track where your traffic is coming from, and which traffic&lt;br /&gt;sources are getting you the most clicks. Are you getting a lot of traffic from&lt;br /&gt;Google? Or Yahoo? Or MSN? Of the big three search engines, which one is&lt;br /&gt;sending you the most clicks? Knowing this tells you where to focus your&lt;br /&gt;efforts. If Google makes you the most money, you should focus your efforts&lt;br /&gt;on ranking well in Google first. If it’s Yahoo or MSN, you focus on those&lt;br /&gt;first.&lt;br /&gt;Putting it All Together&lt;br /&gt;By discovering the answers to the three questions covered above, it didn’t&lt;br /&gt;take me long before AdSense let me quit my day job as a computer&lt;br /&gt;programmer and start working for myself–it only took about six months.&lt;br /&gt;And I didn’t know any of what I’m teaching you in this article when I started&lt;br /&gt;out. You’re six steps ahead of me just because you’re reading this article!&lt;br /&gt;Design your sites to maximize clicks, build your content around the highest&lt;br /&gt;paying topics using KeywordCountry.com&lt;br /&gt;That’s what it takes. Repeat that process&lt;br /&gt;over and over and you’re on your way to becoming an AdSense Big Dog&lt;br /&gt;yourself!&lt;br /&gt;6. Building Cost Effective AdSense Sites&lt;br /&gt;One thing that makes AdSense different from other businesses such as&lt;br /&gt;creating and selling your own products online is that it requires a lot more&lt;br /&gt;websites with a lot more content. Your AdSense money comes from having&lt;br /&gt;a lot of pages in the search engines, with a lot of links to those pages. Lots&lt;br /&gt;of visitors means lots of clicks, and that means lots of content on lots of&lt;br /&gt;websites.&lt;br /&gt;If this sounds expensive, it can be–but it doesn’t have to be. I’m going to&lt;br /&gt;discuss two resources that are available to keep your costs down and your&lt;br /&gt;profits up. They are:&lt;br /&gt;1. Creating blogs&lt;br /&gt;2. Affordable web hosting&lt;br /&gt;3. Creating a lot of content&lt;br /&gt;Creating Blogs&lt;br /&gt;If your budget is really tight, you can always start off by creating&lt;br /&gt;Blogger.com blogs and putting AdSense on them. You can promote those&lt;br /&gt;blogs and get clicks and not have to pay monthly fees for hosting. Blogger&lt;br /&gt;blogs can be formatted using the best formats shown here: www.bloggingtothebank.com&lt;br /&gt;they’re great for generating AdSense revenue.&lt;br /&gt;I have a number of Blogger blogs from my early days of AdSense site&lt;br /&gt;creation. And dangit, I just love the interface. It’s simple and easy to use.&lt;br /&gt;You don’t have to know any HTML code, their templates look great, and a&lt;br /&gt;respectable blog is easy to get people to link to.&lt;br /&gt;So if you’re just starting out and don’t have the money for hosting fees, a&lt;br /&gt;Blogger blog is the way to go. Once you start earning some AdSense&lt;br /&gt;money, then you can start expanding into paid hosting. I’ll discuss how to&lt;br /&gt;get traffic to your blogs (and your websites) in a later section.&lt;br /&gt;Affordable Web Hosting&lt;br /&gt;You may already have a little money to invest, or maybe you’ve grown your&lt;br /&gt;Blogger blogs to make enough money to pay for web hosting. The next step&lt;br /&gt;is to move to paid hosting.&lt;br /&gt;Paid hosting gives you a lot of freedom and abilities that blogs simply do&lt;br /&gt;not. The ability to run scripts, and have your own domain name (ie., www.mydomain.com), to have an email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense CTR In Three Easy Steps” ebook at the AdSense Gold website, so&lt;br /&gt;they’re great for generating AdSense revenue.&lt;br /&gt;I have a number of Blogger blogs from my early days of AdSense site&lt;br /&gt;creation. And dangit, I just love the interface. It’s simple and easy to use.&lt;br /&gt;You don’t have to know any HTML code, their templates look great, and a&lt;br /&gt;respectable blog is easy to get people to link to.&lt;br /&gt;So if you’re just starting out and don’t have the money for hosting fees, a&lt;br /&gt;Blogger blog is the way to go. Once you start earning some AdSense&lt;br /&gt;money, then you can start expanding into paid hosting. I’ll discuss how to&lt;br /&gt;get traffic to your blogs (and your websites) in a later section.&lt;br /&gt;Equally importantly was the support. I know my support guy by name–&lt;br /&gt;Simon. His response times have been fantastic, and as the AQHost.com&lt;br /&gt;business has grown and expanded and even changed location, there has&lt;br /&gt;been very little down time, and all the way Simon has been informative,&lt;br /&gt;supportive and helpful.&lt;br /&gt;When first starting out with AdSense you don’t need a lot of money, but if&lt;br /&gt;you’re creating all of the content for your website, you will need a lot of&lt;br /&gt;time. Now, I highly recommend creating websites with your own content if&lt;br /&gt;you have the time and ability to do so. Write you own articles and post&lt;br /&gt;them to your site or blogs. That ensures that your site will have uniqueness and&lt;br /&gt;staying power. People will link to it and it will grow and prosper.&lt;br /&gt;But when you’re first starting out, it helps to get a kick-start by using other&lt;br /&gt;people’s content. Is that plagiarism? Not at all. In fact, the authors of this&lt;br /&gt;free content want you to use it on your websites. They encourage you to do&lt;br /&gt;so! Why?&lt;br /&gt;Here’s how it works: these authors write these articles and submit them to&lt;br /&gt;free article sites where you can go and copy the articles to put on your own&lt;br /&gt;site. The articles contain an “About the Author” section which you are&lt;br /&gt;required to keep in the article. That section points to the author’s website.&lt;br /&gt;If a few hundred or a few thousand other websites have this article on their&lt;br /&gt;site, imagine how much traffic that will bring to the author’s site as people&lt;br /&gt;click the link in the “About the Author” section!&lt;br /&gt;Another benefit to the author is that his site gains link popularity.

However, if you’ve heard about&lt;br /&gt;this “Google AdSense thing” and aren’t sure exactly how it works or how to&lt;br /&gt;make money with it, then this section is for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense in a nutshell is, Google drop some JavaScript code on your web&lt;br /&gt;Pages or Blogger Blogs if you don’t have a website, Google figures out what ads to show, and when people click on those&lt;br /&gt;ads you earn money. Once a month Google will either send you a check or&lt;br /&gt;make a direct deposit into your bank account for the money that you earned&lt;br /&gt;in the month prior (as long as you’ve earned at least $100). So, for&lt;br /&gt;example, if you earn $1,000 in January, toward the end of February you will&lt;br /&gt;get paid your $1,000. Toward the end of March you will get paid for&lt;br /&gt;February’s clicks, etc.&lt;br /&gt;But you can’t earn a dime without an AdSense account, can you? If you&lt;br /&gt;don’t already have an AdSense account, the next section will tell how to go&lt;br /&gt;about getting one–even if you don’t have a website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BLOGS &amp; GOOGLE ADSENSE Free E-Books and websites:&lt;br /&gt;www.bloggingtothebank.com&lt;br /&gt;http://isaac2006.3500weekly.hop.clickbank.net www.bloggergenerator.com&lt;br /&gt;     http://isaac2006.astracker.hop.clickbank.net/&lt;br /&gt;     http://www.adsensegold.com/adsensebook.php?hop=isaac2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to Get an AdSense Account on the First Try&lt;br /&gt;If you don’t already have an AdSense account, you can apply for one at:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.google.com/adsense/&lt;br /&gt;Just click the big “Click here to Apply” button and you’ll be taken through an&lt;br /&gt;application process.

If you don’t have a website, don’t apply for an account yet.&lt;br /&gt;Or if your website is a personal home page or doesn’t look very professional,&lt;br /&gt;don’t apply yet–you’ll probably be rejected. There is a way to almost always&lt;br /&gt;get an AdSense account on the first try, and it’s easy to do. Here are the&lt;br /&gt;steps:&lt;br /&gt;Step 1: Setup a blog at Blogger.com/start&lt;br /&gt;Google doesn’t usually accept free websites into their AdSense program.&lt;br /&gt;The exception to that rule are Blogger.com blogs. So if you don’t have a&lt;br /&gt;website yet or have one that isn’t very professional, but you want to get an&lt;br /&gt;AdSense account and get started, go to Blogger and create a blog on the&lt;br /&gt;topic you want to make money with. Choosing the best money-making&lt;br /&gt;topics is covered in a later section, so you might want to hold off on doing&lt;br /&gt;this until you’ve read that section.&lt;br /&gt;Step 2: Make some well thought-out posts on your new blog&lt;br /&gt;Twice a day for three days go to your new blog and write a good,&lt;br /&gt;informative post. If your blog is about model airplanes, you might discuss&lt;br /&gt;some of the best tools for building the airplanes, or which companies create&lt;br /&gt;the best quality models, etc. If your blog is about health insurance you&lt;br /&gt;might make posts about how to get the best insurance rates, the pros and&lt;br /&gt;cons of HMOs, or whatever other topics you can think of on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;Get a good five or six posts on the blog over a period of three or four days,&lt;br /&gt;and then go apply for an AdSense account using your new blog url as the&lt;br /&gt;website you submit on the application.&lt;br /&gt;Google loves to hand out AdSense accounts for Blogger blogs, and they will&lt;br /&gt;almost always accept a decent blog publisher into the program.&lt;br /&gt;Here’s the beautiful part: Once you have an AdSense account, you can&lt;br /&gt;put your AdSense code on any of your websites without Google having to&lt;br /&gt;approve each one. The only exceptions are adult or gambling related sites.&lt;br /&gt;Google doesn’t allow those into the program, so do not put your AdSense&lt;br /&gt;code on sites like that–it could get you kicked out of the program.&lt;br /&gt;Once you have an account, it’s time to start building sites and making&lt;br /&gt;money! But before we get into that, there’s a little vocabulary that you’ll&lt;br /&gt;need to know to understand what your AdSense reports are telling you.&lt;br /&gt;That’s covered in the next section.&lt;br /&gt;An AdSense Vocabulary Lesson&lt;br /&gt;If you’ve visited any forums where people discuss AdSense, you’ll see all&lt;br /&gt;kinds of abbreviations and hear all kinds of terms that you might not&lt;br /&gt;understand. Also, when you login to your AdSense account for the first time&lt;br /&gt;and look at the reports, you’ll see a number of abbreviations as well. Here’s&lt;br /&gt;a list of the most common ones, and a plain-english description of what they&lt;br /&gt;mean:&lt;br /&gt;Page Impressions&lt;br /&gt;When somebody goes to your website and loads a page in their web&lt;br /&gt;browser, Google counts that as one “page impression”. That means one pair&lt;br /&gt;of eyes has seen one page of your site. If that same person browses around&lt;br /&gt;and looks at 10 pages of your site, Google counts that as 10 page&lt;br /&gt;impressions. So basically a page impression is just how many of your pages&lt;br /&gt;were looked at by people.&lt;br /&gt;Page CTR&lt;br /&gt;CTR stands for “click through rate”. It’s expressed as a percentage of the&lt;br /&gt;page impressions that resulted in somebody clicking one of the AdSense&lt;br /&gt;ads. So, for example, if you had 1,000 page impressions, and those 1,000&lt;br /&gt;page impressions resulted in 100 clicks on the ads, that is a 10% Page CTR&lt;br /&gt;(100/1000 = 10%).&lt;br /&gt;Page eCPM&lt;br /&gt;eCPM stands for “effective cost per millie”. “Millie” means thousand. CPM is&lt;br /&gt;what the old world of banner advertisements used in pricing their ads. If a&lt;br /&gt;site had a $10 CPM, that meant that you as an advertiser would pay $10 for&lt;br /&gt;every 1,000 page impressions that your ad was shown on.&lt;br /&gt;With AdSense, eCPM is telling you how much you are earning (or will earn),&lt;br /&gt;on average, for every 1,000 page impressions. If you have a $25 eCPM,&lt;br /&gt;that means you are earning (or will earn) $25 in clicks for every 1,000 page&lt;br /&gt;impressions on your site.&lt;br /&gt;Google shows you this figure so you can get an idea of how much money they&lt;br /&gt;are paying you than a banner advertising network will pay you. I have some&lt;br /&gt;sites with eCPM values as high as $300, $500, $700 and more. That means&lt;br /&gt;for every 1,000 page impressions I’m earning $300-$700 on those sites.&lt;br /&gt;How I do that will be discussed later.&lt;br /&gt;EPC&lt;br /&gt;You won’t see the term EPC in your Google AdSense reports, but you’ll hear&lt;br /&gt;it a lot if you hang out on AdSense forums. EPC stands for “earnings per&lt;br /&gt;click”, and just means how much you earn for each click.&lt;br /&gt;Channels&lt;br /&gt;By default, all of your page impressions and clicks are dropped into one&lt;br /&gt;giant bucket. By default, you have no way of knowing how much each&lt;br /&gt;individual site earned (if you have multiple sites), or how much each&lt;br /&gt;individual page earned, etc. “Channels” are Google’s way of letting you&lt;br /&gt;break down your earnings into “sections” so you can analyze each website&lt;br /&gt;or each page independently to see where the money is coming from. Google&lt;br /&gt;only lets you have 200 channels, which is pretty lousy if you have a lot of&lt;br /&gt;sites or a very large site. I’ll discuss how to get around that in a later&lt;br /&gt;section.&lt;br /&gt;AdLinks (or Ad Units)&lt;br /&gt;AdLinks, or Ad Units, are just another type of AdSense ad. The basic&lt;br /&gt;AdSense ad is a block of links with short descriptions that when a visitor&lt;br /&gt;clicks, you get paid. Ad Links are a little different. They show linked topics&lt;br /&gt;that are related to your page, and when people click on those they are then&lt;br /&gt;taken to a different page and presented with a list of ads. If they decide to&lt;br /&gt;click on one of those ads, you get paid. You can see what AdLinks look like&lt;br /&gt;by visiting Google’s “Ad Formats” page. It shows all of the available ad&lt;br /&gt;formats, including Ad Links:&lt;br /&gt;https://www.google.com/adsense/adformats&lt;br /&gt;Ad Filter&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes Google might decide to show ads on your page that aren’t really&lt;br /&gt;related to your page content at all. When that happens, you have the option&lt;br /&gt;of going into your AdSense account and adding those sites to your Ad Filter.&lt;br /&gt;Google will not show ads from any site that you put in your Ad Filter. Also,&lt;br /&gt;if your competitor’s ads show up on your pages, that’s another reason to use&lt;br /&gt;your Ad Filter.&lt;br /&gt;Alright, Enough Vocabulary!&lt;br /&gt;Enough with the vocabulary lesson! Let’s get down to business and see how&lt;br /&gt;the AdSense Big Dogs earn the big bucks.&lt;br /&gt;Getting the Most out of AdSense Page 17&lt;br /&gt;What it Takes to Earn Big Bucks with AdSense&lt;br /&gt;The general idea of Google AdSense is very, very simple: drop some code on&lt;br /&gt;your web pages and when people click the ads, you make money.&lt;br /&gt;But there are a number of important questions to ask when building sites so&lt;br /&gt;that you earn the most money for your time and effort. The most important&lt;br /&gt;of those questions are:&lt;br /&gt;1. How do I design a site so that will get the most clicks?&lt;br /&gt;2. What topics are the most valuable and will earn me the most money?&lt;br /&gt;3. How can I track the results of my efforts to see where I can expand&lt;br /&gt;and improve?&lt;br /&gt;Those are the big questions. And there are good answers to those&lt;br /&gt;questions! Let’s discuss each one, one step at a time:&lt;br /&gt;1. Designing a Site to Get the Most Clicks&lt;br /&gt;Site design is very important in the quest to earn money with AdSense. If&lt;br /&gt;you put the wrong kinds of ads up, or put them in the wrong place on the&lt;br /&gt;page, you might get some clicks, but you will earn a lot less than if you&lt;br /&gt;know the best way to format your AdSense ads and follow it. I’ll give you a&lt;br /&gt;general idea of how to do this, but for precise details about how to exactly&lt;br /&gt;layout your website to maximize revenue, read my ebook “Triple Your&lt;br /&gt;AdSense CTR In Three Easy Steps”, which is available in my AdSense Gold&lt;br /&gt;package. http://www.AdsenseGold.com/&lt;br /&gt;When designing your site, you want to put the ads where they will be seen&lt;br /&gt;and clicked the most. This is usually toward the top of the page. The ads&lt;br /&gt;should definitely be visible when the page first opens. Don’t hide them away&lt;br /&gt;on the sides or at the bottom of the page.&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, you should make the ads blend in with the site so that they don’t&lt;br /&gt;look like ads. This means making the colors of the ads match the colors of&lt;br /&gt;your site. People have become “blind” to advertisements since they are so&lt;br /&gt;used to seeing them on websites, so you have to get those ads in front of&lt;br /&gt;them without them realizing they are ads. Then, instead of outright ignoring&lt;br /&gt;the ads, they can look at what the ads are offering and make a conscious&lt;br /&gt;decision of whether or not to click. When they do choose to click, you get&lt;br /&gt;paid.&lt;br /&gt;2. Selecting the Most Valuable Topics&lt;br /&gt;It’s pretty obvious that some advertisements are worth more than others.&lt;br /&gt;People spend millions of dollars for a 30 second commercial during the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Super Bowl (and other huge sporting events) because that ad space is so&lt;br /&gt;valuable. But they will only pay a fraction of that for their ad to be shown&lt;br /&gt;during a regular television show. The same is true with AdWords advertisers.&lt;br /&gt;For advertisers, certain keywords are worth a lot more than others.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes this might be counter-intuitive. For example, you might think&lt;br /&gt;that the keywords “sports cars” would be very valuable because sports cars&lt;br /&gt;are very expensive. But among the group of people searching for “sports&lt;br /&gt;cars” are a lot of people who just want to see pictures of sports cars, or&lt;br /&gt;people who just have an interest in sports cars but aren’t looking to buy&lt;br /&gt;one.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, people searching for “sports car insurance”–ah!–they are&lt;br /&gt;looking to buy. I mean, who searches for “sports car insurance” for fun,&lt;br /&gt;right? As it turns out the value of clicks for the terms “sports car insurance”&lt;br /&gt;is almost seven times as much as the value of clicks for just “sports&lt;br /&gt;cars”.&lt;br /&gt;This means that it’s very important that you know what keywords to target&lt;br /&gt;before you build content for your web pages. If you’re just building a hobby&lt;br /&gt;site and AdSense is just there to pay for the web hosting or earn you a few&lt;br /&gt;extra dollars a month that might not matter to you.&lt;br /&gt;But if you’re looking to earn real money with AdSense, then you want to&lt;br /&gt;build websites that are focused on the keywords that pay you the most&lt;br /&gt;money when people click. You can find out how much keywords are worth by setting up an AdWords account and using the AdWords “Traffic Estimator Tool”.
