I have a new idea of combining adsense and viral marketing tools, will this go with TOS? This strategy is based on adsense income through viral marketing.I think any one can earn 10000 dollars a month if things go well. What do you think?
Viral marketing is about setting up your own private chain reaction on the internet that over time exponentially builds up your visitor numbers. It is said that once you can understand the power of backend profits (with adsense and other PPC) you can explode your marketing results and create an unstoppable viral machine.
The normal approach to making money with Google Adsense is to have thousands of pages with Google ads, but here with this idea you can successfully make money with Google Adsense with just one page or two.
Our goal is successful leverage and extension of your web pages (with ad sense ads ) through viral tools, where the referrals will play the major role.
Action plan : 1. Create a web site ( some pages ) with adsense and other PCC ads 2. Add viral tools to that web site 3. Wise use of follies and set up a good marketing strategy (viral)
Initial Marketing - First visitors can be pulled from Google (Use Adwords),actually you can get your adwords campaigns for free if you combine your adwords campaigns with Google Adsense.
The viral Marketing
Most Important viral ideas are
A) Just a freebie or give away products and services -Most viral marketing programs give away valuable products or services to attract attention. The freebies include free e-mail services, free information, free "cool" buttons, free software programs.
B) Just Provide easy transfer/refer to others - The medium that carries your marketing message must be easy to transfer and replicate: e-mail, website, graphic, software download. Viral marketing works well on the Internet because instant communication has become simple and easy here.
C) Good infrastructure to deal high traffic - If your strategy is successful, mail and web servers ( hosting your web site) must be improved to cope with high traffic and data transfers to cope with the rapid growth or this will bog down and die. If the " virus" multiplies only to kill the host before spreading, nothing is accomplished.
D) Best use of existing resources- It is said that each person has a close private network of 15 to 20 people as friends, family, and associates. A person's public network may consist of hundreds of people, depending upon his position in society. You must get the best out of it.
E) Exploit the natural motives of public- No one will market your product with out private gain. A desire to be cool. greed drives people to do things. So does the hunger to be popular, loved, and understood. The resulting urge to communicate produces millions of websites and billions of e-mail messages. You must create and stick on such a marketing strategy that builds on these motivations of the public and that will assure your success.
F) Also make use of other people's resources - Think of an article or news feed can be picked up by many periodicals and hundreds of readers will see that. Now look here someone else's webpage is relaying your marketing message.
Okay now about adsense.
Your web site must be about a Niche that can make public crazy. Since the ads shown are based on your content, this is important to keep high number of key words in the content of the page. And content must be good. You must think on following
1.What kind of content to build
2.About the adsense formats and color combinations work best
3.How to optimize the niche keywords
4.Taste of the visitor
You must use keywords and key phrases to name your html files. eg insurance.htm And you must use your keywords and phrases in the title and Meta tags of your webpage.
Finally about Niches.
Don't use niches like 'Internet Marketing' ' home jobs'- it's much to crowded. Use your imagination and find less crowded niches like "car insurance", "free health care "
And along with this, you can try with affiliate marketing There are thousands of affiliate business programs on the internet today that offer wonderfully lucrative opportunities. The majority of business opportunities require zero overhead and once set up, will generate income with little or no maintenance on your part. We can use them along with adsense to create bigger fortune.
This is my idea about a new business model on adsense and viral marketing and will be happy if any one of you can come up with more and better tips and suggestion.
I see nothing there that does not require a lot of work and a lot of planning. Am I missing something?
I have done much the same but not planned that way, it just went in that direction, with that kind of marketing you are less dependent on search engine traffic, etc.
Still...I haven't reached the kind of money he is talking about but with the right niche I would think it would be possible.
Keep thinking Pockan, Brains and a well thought out plan usually wins in the long run.

P.S.
Apply that to 2 or 3 good content sites and you should be on the money.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I just have to say it. You sound more like a native English speaker than a foreigner. Even my top students can't express themselves as fluently as you can in writing.
But I'll also be the first to admit that I've been wrong in the past.
Regardless of your motives, I agree with Ann its well thought out.
The problem is that having a successful viral campaign isn't exactly a new idea, nor is it something you can just set out and decide to do. My basic response is, "Duh."
Everyone wants their site to go viral. And it is a good idea to try to make that happen. But it's not the kind of thing anyone can RELY on for their business model.
And regarding viral adsense stuff: here are some additional things to think about:
1) There is always the risk of making your viral product too attractive, resulting in millions of visitors but zero CTR. So ad placement and color might be very important for this kind of model.
2) Finding a good niche today is very hard, but it can be done. The 2 "less crowded" examples you mention are actually rather crowded already.
Note that good niches are often sub-niches.
Think of it like: travel is an overcrowded niche, but cycling in the french countrysite my not be an overcrowded niche. However, most undercrowded niches don't attract advertisers. You just gotta find those few golden eggs...
3) Starting the process of viral marketing within the circle of your friends and family is risky, beware of them innercircle clicks!
4) The problem with a virus is that it doesn't need it's original host to multiply. Beware for offering a product (information or software) that can be easily duplicated without folks visiting your website.

The freebies include free e-mail services, free information, free "cool" buttons, free software programs.
All you must do is find something you can get for free that will drive the public so wild that it will create a frenzied build-up of traffic.
I'd call that the sticking point. Free email? Hmmm... seems to me that's like 1999. Free information? hmmm... I've been giving away free valuable information for years. Free cool buttons? Oh please. Free software? adware?
Well, I delete hundreds of emails every day giving stuff away, most are blocked before I see them. I am constantly closing pop-ups that offer free trips, free iPods, free motorcycles.
Give away a free perpetual motion machine, now there's a concept.

His viral model has nothing to do with adsense megabucks.This is total mush and nothing will come out
The term "viral marketing" gets a lot of play, but many people (pockan) know of the term without really knowing what it means.
Viral ads are online promotional campaigns that spread like a virus. One minute nobody's heard of it, next minute, it's everywhere. In the 90s, Hotmail went from zero to millions of users with a simple URL in the signature email that " viraled" around the Web. Viral is a great way to get instant branding without the pain .
But how can you turn that to adsense Bucks?

[edit reason] Let's be nice... ;) [/edit]
Ads are not the same as campaigns (see for example Adsense).
Viral ads don't need to be online, they can be offline as well.
Don't know what a kl*tz is, but could you please stick to Adsense?
I once knocked a server offline from this... a quality host, not a $7.95/month job either. So be careful of your success. Host was not too happy with me. ;)
The problem with viral marketing is that most of your ideas won't take off. Prepare for a lot of disappointment. But when it works, man it's quite a feeling. Wait to see the traffic numbers come in!
The downside is that the traffic is very low quality. The people are coming strictly for whatever it is you are virally marketting. So expect low click-thrus. I haven't made close to 10,000/month yet. Then again I've only recently gotten into AdSense... been relying on affiliates so far.
Viral marketing equals huge traffic at no cost
FourDegreez... did you also get a lot of incoming links from blogs etc? if so, this could help your SERP positions which would be another positive side effect.
Having said that, although I think Pockan's combination of viral marketing with adsense is a good one, it is only half way there. The other half is coming up with the right idea/concept to form the basis of viral marketing - or as Pockan said, "use your imagination".
Sadly, that's where most of us run into difficulty. Earlier, in another thread, I posted about what the webmasters-from-hell would do when scraping and content-nicking is no longer profitable - could viral marketing be the next threat to content webmasters?
(Perhaps Frazer from Dad's Army was right. "We're all doomed.")
D) Best use of existing resources- It is said that each person has a close private network of 15 to 20 people as friends, family, and associates. A person's public network may consist of hundreds of people, depending upon his position in society. You must get the best out of it.
And what are you asking of those existing resources and networks, CLICKS?
That would make it a CLICK RING!
In my opinion, the threads from Pockan are great!
I can remember some time ago when he wrote a post about another idea he had.. His idea was literally killed because most people who answered the thread was just interested in telling him that his english sucked, and that he had to come down to earth.
I remember I was thinking: So that's how it's like when you dare to tell others about an idea you have.
I think it's great that some people dare to think bigger than the majority, and it's even greater when they want to tell others about it!
The whole world was laughing at Bill Gates before he developed what he has now... People said he was thinking too big, his dreams were not realistic, and so on.. I don't think they say that anymore now ;)
I'm not saying that Pockan will be the next Bill Gates. But I sure believe he will come much closer than many of us, if he keeps up the big thinking and the develeopment of new ideas.
If you decide to walk a round the whole globe, you may never accomplish that, but you sure will walk a longer distance than if your goal is to walk from your house to your work - If you know what I mean ;)
Keep up the thinking Pockan!
Viral marketing does not have to be giving away free stuff. It can be in the form of excellence in what you do; quality work, quality products, quality service. You don't have to come up with a new product or service at all. You can improve on something existing (Dominos example above). Whatever you do you need not just to deliver a service but form a foundation to spark the desire to where your visitors will WANT AND CONTINUE to freely advertise you.
Is viral marketing a thing of the past? Heck no! IT is the most powerful way to market if done right.
I'm sure people who responded negatively to your idea are the first ones trying your idea out - they just want to discourage others from trying :)

Pockan, 90% of people who read this thread will never put as much thought into their online efforts as you did into this one thread. Go for it.
FourDegreez... did you also get a lot of incoming links from blogs etc?
Yeah, definitely. The links are mostly low-quality, but the PR does add up. It's a nice side-effect. =)
