Beginner in IM here. Please let me know if there is a step I am missing or change. Or any guidelines that I should follow. What ever programs or apps I should use. Thank you.

And will I expect to earn $20+ within two months and $20+ a month within three if I keep creating a new website each week?
 


You really need to rank first page to make somethin with adsense, lots will tell you micro niche sites for adsense are dead and dont make money anymore.... but that isnt totally true. It's more dead in the sense that there is way better and easier ways to monetize.

Well, mind to share what is the better and easiest way to monetize? I am still open to different options as long as they earn.

Amazon affiliate. Sell products related to your niche. Either a post by themselves or incorporate into an article you post. Or you could upsell your free info.... something like if your niche is Weight Lifting...you could post lifting tips, tricks, etc, but then incorporate "this tip will work, but nothing works as well as "Panty-dropping weight lift routine" or some weight lifting ebook/system you found as an affiliate.
 
My best success with Adsense has been to make a pretty big site and target different keywords on each piece of content. Like, (this is a random idea) a blog about soft drinks, you target one keyword about soft drinks in the title (something like "most popular softdrinks") and then on each page you target something much more specific like "A&W diet root beer", "coca cola zero coupons", "mountain dew free sample", "Where to buy RC Cola", etc.

I have a bunch of Adsense sites that are focused on a single product like "Sharp 1568 plasma television" (random idea), but those ones only bring in like 50 cents a day each. My sites that bring in $50+ dollars a day are bigger sites like the one I described above. It's easier to keep track of a bigger site than 50 small ones, anyway.
 
Bombtastic, how long did it take you until you started getting $50+ per day from your site? How many entries did you have in total?

Did you follow any other SEO tactics or did you just blog away?

You should be at step 5 by now.

Get to work...chop chop.

You forgot buy domain by the way. If you use namecheap, use back2reality for your coupon, its like 10% off.

Then use the DNS names (they will be two) that hostgator provides for namecheap.

Talking about my first successful one, it took probably six months to get to $50 a day, writing 1 or 2 posts a day. 200 and something entries. But that's in a niche that gets a really low pay per click, like 10 cents on average per click. In a better niche you can make that much with fewer pages.

I didn't just blog away, I did keyword research to find longtail kw's that have somewhat high search and very low competition. I spent hours with a pen and notepad, writing down KEYWORD / NUMBER OF SEARCHES PER MONTH / NUMBER OF EXACT MATCH RESULTS all the way down the page then I would circle the best ones with a red pen (this was my version of Micro Niche Finder...lol). The only backlinks I built back in those days were social bookmarks. These days I target kw's that are harder but I do a lot of special backlinking stuff. I don't want to write that all here, but if you read some recent SEO threads in the BST section you'll understand what kind of stuff I mean.

I also do a lot of stuff with Amazon, and some CPA offers, and a bit of adult. I had some success with adult blogs targeting longtail keywords in each post similar to my Adsense sites, and those blogs still get traffic today but I get no sales anymore. Either the payment processor (CCBill) decided to screw me or people just don't pay for porn anymore because tube sites have everything now.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. I am taking it all into consideration.
Also, so you have to buy a domain (as in dot com)? HostGator does not provide it for you along with the plan?
 
Yea, ideally you want your domain to be related to the keywords of your niche. Theres also cheaper hosting alternatives for you to start out with that you will never max.

No. Get your domain at namecheap, then setup the DNS servers to point to hostgators servers. Hastgator sends out the instructions when you sign up with them.
 
-What is the best and cheapest hosting alternative preferred for me?
-Will Google Adsense allow me to use affiliates or will they interfere with each other?

You mean having Adsense and affiliate offers on the same webpage? You can have both. But you can't have other contextual click ad (like Bidvertiser or Adbrite) on the same page as Adsense.
 
Thank, I will definitely try zenzix and namecheap.
Also came across after some searching that some claim that Adsense is "dead" and new sites have trouble earning or even ranking at all.
So I am thinking of dumping this and simply creating a CPAlead website and work on that. Or would that be a lot more risky?

I don't know, I think I got into IM after Adsense "died" so I don't really know what it used to be like, but I'm doing pretty good with it. I think people used to make SHITTY sites and just slap Adsense on them, or send PPC clicks to pages full of ads and in those days any retard could bank with Adsense but nowadays you have to make legit sites and get legit traffic. A lot of people seem to think that the earning from Adsense aren't worth the effort of making a good site, but that depends on your niche. I have some sites that get around $2 per click average, in financial niches and niches for certain expensive collectibles. I once got a $12 click (only once) on a financial blog I write.

I do some CPA but I build a different kind of website for it than what I described above. It's usually a much smaller website, and get traffic from article marketing while gradually ranking the site itself for KWs related to the offer. (Some people do PPC rather than article marketing, and that can make you a lot more, but it's higher risk)
