Many Sites

"My best advice is not to give up.

In the early days I could have given up so many times. I stuck with it and now have over 30 sites.

Most importantly, I love what I do and would have done it all for free.

Don't give up!" bts111

Quality First

"I'm with you 100% Freedom, I just launched my second site with that exact philosophy in mind and the traffic is rolling in nicely. I'm also noticing that people are linking to me without me even asking, they just feel that this site is a good resource to offer their visitors." petra

Quality First

"Actually, if you build a great website for the benefit of mankind, the money will follow. It's a good business plan based on the 'better mousetrap' theory. These days, I worry about the quality FIRST, and then the money, because I know if I have quality, the money will work out just fine.

So far, it seems to be working as I am on track to earn $11k this month alone." Freedom

Rare Content

"write on a topic you know about. it will help if there is not much information available on the internet on the topic. you will automatically start getting traffic from SE" caran1

Increasing Earnings

"Mostly it's just a matter of building traffic and growing your site." shiva777

GET Links

"Write 300 words on a topic related to your site's theme. Impart some truly useful information that the other guy's site visitors will like. Put a short author bio at the end, with a link to your site. Offer it to a few webmasters of sites you'd love to have a link from. Give it to them with the condition that they leave your link in place when they post it. Everybody wins. If you get a bite from a webmaster of a site you really really want a link from, offer the content on an exclusive basis. You get one-way links from great sites that are on-topic. And savvy webmasters jump all over that because you're offering something that's truly of value to them." Swebbie

Ask for Links

"The link requests that I am most likely to grant go something like this.

Hi Ken;

I own (business name) business in (city/state). We sell (some VERY related product), our website is blahblah.blah

Could we get a link from your site.

Thanks

name
business name
business address
business phone
business email address

If they're site is VERY related, I usually list it. If they want to link back, that's up to them, I don't ask." ken_b

Diversify

"The important issue is more could be done if you try, and in my eyes any amount of revenue earned ia another revenue stream you have coming in..

Never place all your eggs in one bucket as they say." Seo1

To Get Traffic

"Assuming that your site has content of intrinsic value ... you should just ...

Submit your site to the ODP, try to get links from quality sites on your topic, and wait for traffic to build via search-engine results and word of mouth." europeforvisitors

Tips

"1- Have good extensive content.
2- Have a high link popularity.
3- Have a 160x600 skyscraper that blends with your content in both position and colours." moftary

Link Low to High Paying Pages

"Turn low-paying keywords into higher-paying keywords by replacing ads with copy that routes the user elsewhere. An example:

/widget.html displays ads that are paying about .03/click, because it's a really broad term that advertisers don't want to pay much for. However, /widget-repair.html displays ads that are paying about .75/click, because advertisers have found that people who actually click on an ad for repairing widgets are likely to turn into significant paying jobs.

So, take the AdSense off of /widget.html. Instead, design your own 'advertising' whose goal is to route the visitor to /widget-repair.html. Links like 'Wondering how you would ever get your new widget fixed?' 'Learn how much it might cost if your widget breaks.' etc.

The attractiveness of this technique depends largely on the ratio between low-paying and high-paying clicks. If the ratio is big, you have little to lose by foregoing ads in favor of trying to route the user to a higher-paying page. Of course, as usual, your ability to write copy that serves the advertiser well and other factors can greatly influence the results.

The more general rule here is to be aware of the likely payout for each page of content you create, and look for opportunities to feed traffic from lower-paying pages to higher-paying pages. If you do this from the viewpoint of getting truly qualified prospects to the high-paying advertisers (as opposed to just looking at the payouts of each page), your results will be better and longer lasting." ronburk

Adsense Placement

"Adsense placement? Horizintal Adlinks at the foot of the page right after the last line of text seem to be doing quite well for me :)" send2paul

Get Traffic First

"Can't let this one pass by. It's all to do with SEO. Get the people to your pages first. Worry about 'heat maps' etc later. I read somwhere that the best thing to so with a website is get it set up - and DON'T put any ads on it to begin with. Let it get 'settled'. Create links. Increase content. Then - place ads - maybe 8 months to a year later." send2paul

Spend your Time on Content

"Don't think too much about AdSense. Don't spend too much time on it. Implement some changes now and then, then relax and forget about it for a while - follow up on changes a few weeks or a month later. Don't spend your time constantly tweaking and changing stuff, that will get you nowhere. If you absolutely need to do something, spend your time adding content or updating your existing content in stead." claus

Sandbox

"new sites don't rank well even if you get everything right. Get everything right and wait 6+ months and it should come together." seodave

Value of Links

"if your site doesn't have enough links it won't rank well" seodave

Needed PageRank Level

"PR4 sites doing really well are rare, PR5 and PR6 is where the action is." seodave

Content People

"a site can be built by a group of people who know and write about something everyday.

Education, skills, imagination (and) team power make it happen.

Also, a skilled writer can turn the dream s/he saw the other night into a 500 page book. The content may come from no other place than your brain cells alone." Alioc

Huge Content Source

"Never underestimate the power of data feeds. I am quite certain that a vast majority of those sites with more than 15.000 pages tap the magical powers of merchant-supplied information." uniqus

Content Source

" you can ... use manufacturer's descriptions of the products as content" Dantol

Strive for Traffic

"And of course you have to strive to continously increase traffic to your site." gfidan

Article Specs

"Articles are the classic revenue generators: well researched, on topic, 500-1000 words, formal ... etc" emodo

Blog Money

"Blogs are definitely worth your time! Just post a simple comment (3-4 sentences is enough) every day or two. The real key is making sure you ping it to the many blog directories so you get the links.

I have a couple of blogs that rank higher for the main kw than my related content sites. The regular updating energizes SE spiders and may even get you higher rankings. I spend no more than 15 mins per day on my blogs, and the payoff is well worth it." Swebbie

Blog Content

"evergreen content
less 'what color scented candle I lit today'
more indepth commmentary" emodo

LOVE your Content

"Before you think about money think about content and LOVE it. That is the secret" blue_eagle
