hello.i am a newbie in adsense.so for starting and for convenience i have prepare my step by step adsense strategy which will guide me from starting till end.but i am not sure whether this strategy is what maximum people or people who are doing great in adsense follows.so if anyone can give their valuable suggestions as to where i am going wrong or if something else is needed to be added please do so.i would really be greatful.so here it begins
1.I plan out on niche content sites which i know about a lot and would love making .And something where i can provide fresh content on a regular basis.
2.then i make a search for keyword related to those topics but mind here not running after expensive keywords ,just those related to my content sites.i did a search in overture and good keyword basically to find out which keyword or phrases people search for more.then i take 2 to 3 top search keywords and look out for their competiotion by typing those in google.
there the keyword for which i found somewhat low competition comparatively i select those and based my page on that.
In this way i look out for keyword for every page based on related but diversified topics.
3.then i thought of agood title for each page which include my keyword in it.and then did some onpage optimisation like trying to have my each keyword maximum of 2 to 3times in each page.then i insert head tag ,title tag meta tag etc in html editor separetly for each page.
4.then i took simple software and start panning my layout of naviagtional link and to include anchor text in that and palnning on my sub directories ,though i have to still understand this part of sub directory so any clarification would be welcome.
5.and then i will insert adsense code blending the colors with colors of site.i would be 3 code one in top one in middle of page and one in side.
5.then i will book the domain name preferably one which includes my keyword.
6.then i will work upon building links.for that i use seoelite software to find out abt partner ,competitors link then after finding good authoriy sites i will send personalised email to them asking to link me back.
7.then i write articles abt my site and submit to differnt article directories like ezines.
8.then slowly slowly as site grows in popularity i wiladd fresh content everyday .then i will keep track if any bad sites linking to me i will remove them.here i need some clarification .i have read in forum that people remove mfa sites so should we remove mfa sites from linking tous.
9.ok then i will track my channel to see which ads are performing well and will experiment on colors placemnt etc and wil se if relevnt ads are there.
10.and then i will relax and enjoy the fruit of my hard work.

1.I plan out on niche content sites which i know about a lot and would love making .And something where i can provide fresh content on a regular basis.

That sounds good to me. The problem with keyword based sites is that the top keywords change daily. Writing an informative and authoratitive site on a topic you know well is going to be a better long term strategy.

2.then i make a search for keyword related to those topics but mind here not running after expensive keywords ,just those related to my content sites.

Knowing the keywords that are related to your topic, and people are searching for is a good plan. You are trying to make an interesting site with an eye to monetising it.

3.then i thought of agood title for each page which include my keyword in it.and then did some onpage optimisation like trying to have my each keyword maximum of 2 to 3times in each page.then i insert head tag ,title tag meta tag etc in html editor separetly for each page.

The one thing that strikes me here is that you might be inclined to be writing pages to keywords rather than pages that fit naturally to the site's topic. If you are trying to write a authoratitive niche subject, then plan the theme of the site, and decide how broad you intend the topic to be. My site is tightly focussed on the niche. I add pages because they have been suggested by readers, seem to me to be relevant to the topic, or my visitors might be interested in bearing in mind how they got to the site, and why they are here. I've found that pages that are not relevant to the site's topic don't get the visitors. Stay focussed on your topic.

4.then i took simple software and start panning my layout of naviagtional link and to include anchor text in that and palnning on my sub directories ,though i have to still understand this part of sub directory so any clarification would be welcome.

You don't really need software to do this. Whatever software you use to compile pages will have the facility to add navigational links either by html link, or adding some sort of menu component of your choice.

The menu layout should suggest itself to you. Group topics together, and don't be inclined to have many levels of navigation. People want a simple layout that they can find the topics they are interested in instantly, so it has to be logical and simple to navigate.

5.and then i will insert adsense code blending the colors with colors of site.i would be 3 code one in top one in middle of page and one in side.

You might like to add the adsense code once you have the basic structure in place so that you can see where it fits, and what you pages look like as you develop the site as opposed to having to re-do a lot of pages later.

5.then i will book the domain name preferably one which includes my keyword.

Do this FIRST! You'll need the domain you want to put the ads on in order to register for adsense. If you know the topic, then getting the domain registered can be done now.

6.then i will work upon building links.for that i use seoelite software to find out abt partner ,competitors link then after finding good authoriy sites i will send personalised email to them asking to link me back.

Don't do this until you have the site up and running, and possible linkers can see exactly what the site is about, and decide if it's of value to them and their visitors. I get asked to exchange links with other sites a lot (my site is in the top 4 on Google for the keyword), and it's always because they want to increase their position in serps. I would not consider links to a site in progress, or one that wasn't likely to be of value in some way to my visitors.

7.then i write articles abt my site and submit to differnt article directories like ezines.

I'm not an seo expert, so I don't know if this works or not. But I would say that being a regular contributor to any newsgroups or online forums on the topic is a good opportunity to post links to specific articles or parts of your site relevant to the discussion.

8.then slowly slowly as site grows in popularity i wiladd fresh content everyday .then i will keep track if any bad sites linking to me i will remove them.here i need some clarification .i have read in forum that people remove mfa sites so should we remove mfa sites from linking tous.

If you mean remove MFA's from your Google ad blocks, then yes, it's probably a good idea. But there is always the possibility that blocking ads can earn you less. I'd be inclined to wait a while before embarking on blocking. You need to know what your natural traffic is like and what your regular earnings are before you can tell if blocking is of benefit to you or not.

9.ok then i will track my channel to see which ads are performing well and will experiment on colors placemnt etc and wil se if relevnt ads are there.

Do this as you implement each banner - not later. it's easier to do as you go along, and you can start tracking straight away.

10.and then i will relax and enjoy the fruit of my hard work.

The best bit :)

Don't forget the rest of the good advice in the forum. Experiment with ad placement, colour schemes and different ad blocks to see what works best for you. Also don't fall into the trap of putting three banners on each and every page. remove any that don't work using the channels you set up earlier.

Best of luck!

great david .your suggestions have boosted my confidence.i couldnt ever imagine that here members can actually be so helpful that they take out time to read and rectify every points.i am so glad that i found this forum.and i am feeling now more confidence and excited to start my site and make it a suceess and be among ome of top earners.i know it requires patience and continous monitoring and i am willing to do it with with valuable suggestions of members like you.
so now regarding the suggestions i understood a lot but some query which is there it seem that basically people dont concentarte on seo techniques they just focus on building good content sites .so is it possible that by just having build good content sites and rite ad placemnt your adsense revenue can increase i mean over time can it come in the bracket of sites earning 1000 and more dollars per month.
and as regarding mot placing 3 ads in a pgae i am confused.i mean how will it affect my earning if i place three ads in one page .or should i place two ads and one ad unit or any combination which seems to work best for most people.

Ishika - that sounds like a great plan - you've obviously put a lot of thought into this - and if you follow your plan you should do very well.

A couple of points - just bear in mind that it will take time for the traffic to build up - and you won't make income until you have traffic. Don't get discouraged - your plan is good, just keep plugging away at it will work.

I'm not sure if I would put AdSense on the site straight away. On one of my new sites, I've left it off while the traffic builds up and while we're building links. It MAY make it easier to get links if your site isn't covered in ads - and while traffic is still low, you're not losing much income. People are always saying how much they like our new site - perhaps having no ads helps.

On the other hand - it's encouraging to see the money come in, even if it's only a little - so why not stick to one ad block at first, while you build the site, then add more later.

Don't worry about who's linking to you. You only need to worry about who you link out to. And don't stress too much about blocking MFAs - it may depend on your niche - but I never block any AdSense ads at all.

No worries. The thing about this forum is if you ask sensible questions there will always be people here who will take time and trouble to give you quality answers. If people ask stupid questions such as "What keywords will make me rich", or the related "I've been banned from Adsense" questions the replies will be less favourable!

but some query which is there it seem that basically people dont concentarte on seo techniques they just focus on building good content sites .so is it possible that by just having build good content sites and rite ad placemnt your adsense revenue can increase i mean over time can it come in the bracket of sites earning 1000 and more dollars per month.

I'm living proof of that. I'm hopeless at SEO. I don't understand the terminology and I think the people that can might as well talk to me in martian - maybe they are and I'm too stupid to know ;)

My site came out of the need for somebody to knock up a website for the newsgroup I contribute to. I got landed with the task, and concentrated on making the site the collective knowledge of the newsgroup, and an authority on the topic. I submitted it to search engines at some point in the dim and distant past, and the site grew in popularity by natural traffic. I found other forums would reference it in discussions, and it eventually made it to the top of the serps by itself. It took a good 3-4 years for this to happen naturally. I guess if I'd know about SEO then it would have got there quicker.

and as regarding mot placing 3 ads in a pgae i am confused.i mean how will it affect my earning if i place three ads in one page .or should i place two ads and one ad unit or any combination which seems to work best for most people.

Well, it's not everybody's experience that limiting the number of ad blocks on a page works - I think it all depends on if the blocks get clicks or not, and several theories abound.

Firstly, do your visitors come to your site for content, or to be hit square in the face by a wall of ads? Multiple ad blocks really piss people off if they have found you on a search engine and are there for your content.

Secondly, multiple blocks contribute to ad blindness, meaning visitors just don't see the ads, therefore don't click.

But the main theory behind this is that if the blocks don't all get a decent percentage of clicks, the overall page ctr is low and this might mean that smartpricing places a lower value on your clicks that you do get.

In my case, I put an additional banner at the bottom of my best earning page. It got virtually no clicks, and over time I saw the epc drop slowly. Removing the ad block that was a poor performer doubled my ctr, and an increase in epc followed very soon afterwards meaning by showing less ads I earned more. I always remove ads that don't work to keep my site's overall ctr at a fairly constant rate.

There is another recent theory posted by 21_blue yesterday. I stress it's a theory, but one that makes sense to me. Having multiple ad blocks increases the chances of cheap MFA's getting placement on your site. This may lead to proper adverts being smartpriced down towards the level of MFA's giving you an overall poor income. Not having the additional blocks may mean less MFA's naturally, so smartpricing is going to keep your site's value high over the long term, and effectively price most MFA's off of your site. You still need to block the ones that do appear, but if the theory is correct, then you will spend less time blocking, not clog up the block list and not anger the smartpricing gods.

To be honest, you have thought about this a lot more than many people embarking on adsense have, and have basically covered all of the important points. I'd obviously keep reading the forum, but it's clearly time for you to start working on getting the site up and running.

ishika>>

The one concern I have, reading your initial post, is that you want to build a site for AdSense, rather than the benefit of visitors.

Please forgive me if I am wrong, but you must provide quality content for your visitors, and consider adverts as a bonus. If you go about building a site just with Advert revenue in mind, you will not receive the traffic you require, to make AdSense pay. The reason I say this, is that the content of a page will, over time, determine the relevance of the adverts posted on it. If Google cannot determine a close match on content/advert, then people will not click on the ads, as they will not relate to the topic of the page they are on.

David it was very noble of you to take the time to reply to ishika's post. I've started down the same road as Ishika and I've learnt alot from your suggestions.

Ishika what helped me to create content was to start with considering the structure of my pages - to give you a birds eye view of things to come. My biggest dilemma is keeping a consistent pace in writing content, but this method has helped me generate about 30+ pages so far and seems to work for me.

I begin by writing out the headings & sub headings on Notepad. You can also use a book on a similar topic to generate ideas for your content structure. Once I'm happy with the content structure, I go about filling it in, in the same notepad page. I keep it all on one page. It'll get bloated but at least you know the order of things. Sometimes I finish writing the content than add the keywords, at other times I just keep it close for reference. Once the content is good, I transfer it to a new page and begin adding html codes - doctype, titles, metatags, links etc. and leave it to sit while I work on the other contents.

Good luck in creating your site.
