Search Engine Results?

Well Mine Is!

My Search Engine Results and Rankings

On Thursday, August 9, 2007 I found out that my adsense consulting blog showed up on page one of Google's search engine results when the term "adsense consulting" was typed into the search box! Again, for my blog being only 4 months old I thing that this is a very good accomplishment!

If you want your blog or website to show up in Google then you have to do the work!

I checked my search engine results today and.....

August 7, 2007

My blog is moving up on page 1 of Google's search engine results when the search term "adsense consultant" is typed into Google's search engine!

My blog still appears on page 1 of Google's search engine results when people are looking for adsense consultant and so far each time I have checked, my blog is moving up the page on Google's search engine results.

I want to remind all of you that I have done this by not manually submitting my blog to the search engines. So far my search engine results have come completely from my working with my blog, adding new content to it and "networking" around the Internet.

You have to remember that there are always ways that you can work with your blog to have it appear high in the search engine rankings - you just have to work at it!

August 3rd, 2007- Search Engine Results For My Blog

---

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I made it to page 1 of google's search engine results!

Not only does a link to one of my feeds show up on page one but also there is a link to one of my posts about "invalid clicks". If you click on that link then that will take you to this blog! So that's 2 links to my blog that appears on page 1 of google's search engine results.

Type in the words "adsense consultant" and see for your self!

I'm back on page 1 again!

Of course since I do SEO consulting I also know that I will continuously have to work on my site(s) so that they still show up high on google's search engine results.

Now I can work on optimizing my clients blogs for the higher search engine results.

Why Do You Charge A Fee To Review Blogs?

Obviously you just don't know how much people are charging for a blog review.

Oft times people willl pay for their blog to be reviewed because they will want to know why their blog isn't getting traffic or how does their blog look. They want to know why they don't get comments, how well placed are their adsense ads, etc.

Now there are lots of free sites on the Internet that give very helpful advice but its really up to the person who wants their blog reviewed.

I just let my work speak for itself.

Plus this is a very good lesson for those who are still new to adsense and earning money online. No matter what it is you want to do to earn money - someone is always going to put you down. It's what you do next that counts!

WTF - Both Blogs Out Of Whack!

Well it looks like my 2nd blog is under reveiw from bloggoer. It has been tagged as a

spam blog

and is currently under review!

I have sent Blogger the contact form and now have to wait for 2 business days for them to contact me.

This had also happened to this blog. This blog was locked. I sent them the email and they got back to me the next day and my first blog was unlocked.

Now it seems like I have to go through this again with my 2nd blog.

I don't know what it is but I kind of look at this as a compliment. The "robots" think my blog is a "spam blog" when clearly it is not.

Hopefully my 2nd blog will be unlocked soon.

Now if you are wondering why I have 2 blogs that are called

The Adsense Consultant

it is because my first blog - for some reason that I don't know of - got its adsense ads taken away. Now while I wait for Adsense to get back to me as to why they took the ads off of this blog, I created a 2nd blog!

So now I'm awaiting word on the status of BOTH blogs!

Does this stop my from continuing to be an Adsense Consultant? I think not! What kind of Adsense Consultant would I be if I couldn't solve my own Adsense problems!

"What Can I Do About Sabotaged Invalid Clicks?"

Unfortunately it has been posted about people that have tried to sabotage another person's adsense account by constantly clicking on the ads that appear on a person's site.

When you log on to your adsense account and you see any suspicious activity like a very high click-through-rate then you should report it to adsense as soon as possible. Here is a link to the site that has the form that you should fill out:

Adsense Contact Form

Once you fill out the contact form as best and as detailed as you can send it in. Adsense says that they will get back to you within an average of 24 hours but if they are experiencing a high volume of emails then it may take them longer. But the sooner you send in the form - the sooner Adsense will know about it.

So send in the form as soon as possible!

Client - Hamming It Up - Earned Their First Adsense Earnings Today!

My newest client, Hamming It Up received their first Adsense earnings today! Of course I won't reveal what that actually earning was - client priviledge and need their permission don't you know!

But here are some things that I will say though. It took about 5 days from the time that I added the adsense codes to the client's blog for them to get their first adsense earnings!

I most certainly have to toot my own horn for this! Toot, Toot!

It was always good to see that the cpm rate was over $50! This means that the keywords that were crawled on the client's blog brought in higher-paying keyword advertisers!

Another adsense millionaire in the making!

The Adsense Consultant Is Having A Problem With Adsense? - No Ads Appearing?

Imagine my surprise when I viewed my blog today and found that there were no adsense ads on it! Immediate panic! Well one of the first things that I did was to check my other site and my clients sites to see if the adsense ads were there - THEY WERE. Whew!

But now I'm back to the problem of finding out why the adsense ads aren't appearing here. It took me a while to find out how to get in contact with Adsense. Offhand I can't see a customer support phone number. I finally found where you can contact them via email so that you can describe the problem that you are having. I sent in the form and their site says that they will get back to me in 24 - 48 hours.

You can't imagine the panic I felt when I didn't see any ads on this blog!

I will let you know the results of this problem when Adsense emails me back.

"I Created My Blog. Now What?"

Okay. You created your blog now you are ready for the whole world to see it! The only problem is that you don't know how to get the whole world to see it!

Of course one of the first things that you should do (and it should be one of the easiest things to do) is to TELL EVERYBODY YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR BLOG! Sounds simple doesn't it?

Take for instance if you have a professional blog like one of my clients, The Computer Brother. If your blog is going to be a professional blog then one of the things you should do is to include your blog's address on all of your professional paperwork - including your business cards. Remember the point of this is to promote your blog.

Another thing that you should do is to optimize your blog for the search engines. I read somewhere that 50% of a blog's traffic comes from the search engines. So when people are looking for relevent content you will want your blog (or site) to show up as high as possible on the search engine results.

I have made a few postings here about how a link to my blog is currently on page one of Google's search engine results when certain search terms are typed into the search engines. So far I have managed to accomplish this by working with the content of my blog. While a lot of the search engines have links to where you can add your blog or site manually, that's something that I haven't done yet. But that's not to say that you shouldn't do it - by all means manually add your site to the search engines. However you should know that this won't result in your site showing up right away. Some search engines can take a few months before they get to your site to manually add it.

Another thing that you should know that besides my blog site showing up on page 1 of google's search engine results, I have noticed that a lot of "indirect" links to my sites show up as well. One of my feeds shows up in the search engines as well as a few comments and replies that I have posted elsewhere on the internet have shown up too.

So tell everyone you know about your new site and watch as the traffic grows!

PS - Don't forget to add a counter to your site so that you can track your site's traffic. There are a lot of free ones available on the Internet.

Client - The Computer Brother's Blog - Blog Progress

The Computer Brother has become quite involved in his blog. He is adding more and more longer posts into his blog. And he is also getting more familiar with how to add entries to his blog. He has now started to post entries to his blog via email. While he gets comfortable with working on his blog on a regular basis there are still some things to do to his blog.

As I posted before The Computer Brother's blog was approved for Adsense just this past weekend and you can sss that the adsense ads are now appearing on his blog. His adsense account has been created and now he will be able to check his earnings daily.

The next thing that has to be worked on is on the blog itself. As you can see on his blog while he has long posts on the left side, the right side of his blog has a lot of empty space on it that should be filled up - but not to the point where the whole blog looks crowded.

You want to have your blog look as finely tuned as possible. By that I mean that you don't want to have too much empty spaces on your blog. Just fill it up a bit so that it looks nice and pleasant.

So that is the next thing to be worked on.

Stay tuned and watch as The Computer Brother's blog progresses.

Are You New To Adsense? Need To Know More About Adsense?

Well the basic thing is first that you have to have a website or blog that is already on the Internet. If you don't have one already then you can get a free blog at blogger.com - blogger.com encourages you to add adsense to your blog so having adsense won't be a problem with blogger.com

You have to apply to adsense and your website or blog has to be approved by them first.

After you get approved then you can go through the steps to choose the size and color of your ads. You get the codes for the ads, copy and paste them to your site and when a visitor to your site clicks on the ads then you will get paid.
How much you get paid depends on the content of your site and which keywords the adsense spiders get when they crawl your site. There are ads that pays as little as $1 (some even less) and I have seen (and had on my site/blogs) rates of $1000! It's really hard to pinpoint just what will bring your site higher-paying keywords.

But the thing of it is is that most people advise that your site or blog serve a specific niche or theme or subject matter.

In order to get a payment from adsense you have to have earned at least $100. Since this is August 1st, I checked my earnings for the month and I made it! Which means that I at least earned the minimum of $100 in July 2007. The actual payment shouldn't be expected until around the 25th of the month (which just happens to be the weekend during August 2007 - so it may be later or it may be earlier). You can either get paid by regular check or by bank transfer.

So if you're really talking about earning enough adsense money to support your family you are going to have to first determine how much minimum per month you could support your family with.

Simply put the best way to make more money with adsense is to either increase the traffic that is coming to your site (so potentially more visitors will click on the ads) or you incorporate the higher-paying keywords into your site so that you will earn more per click.

While I have seen some say that they have made as much as $1000 per month, I'm thinking an average of maybe $500 a month is more acceptable. Mind you I say average!

Well Another Month Has Come And Gone!

Well the month of July 2007 has come and gone and according to my adsense earnings for the month of July I reached the minimum amount needed to get an adsense payment. The minimum amount that you need to earn to get an adsense payment is $100. If you don't make $100 for the month then the amount that you did make will be rolled over to the next month and it will continue to roll into the next month until your adsense earnings reach $100.

So far this year I have managed to make the minimum amount necessary to receive an adsense payment. I have been able to do this every month this year so far. And my payment for my July 2007 adsense earnings will be my highest payment yet! That means that besides this being my highest adsense payment it also means that my earnings are growing on a continual basis.

I do want to stress here that my adsense earnings are coming from this blog and my first blog and a few of my websites.

I want to stress this because a lot of people seem to think that you have to have over 100 websites or blogs or be a big company in order to make a good amount of adsense earnings. With my websites and blogs I have managed to make the $100 minimum each month so far this year. For the last 2 months I have used my adsense payment to splurge on getting take-out - usually pizza and I pay some of my bills with the rest of it. My adsense goal is to make at least $2,000 a month. That is my immediate goal. Once I reach that I will set another goal of $5,000 a month.

But I want to emphasize here that you don't need a lot of blogs or websites to earn adsense money. I have seen people posting saying that they have had adsense for a year and haven't earned anything! It took me 2 months to get my first adsense payment. Actually I was disappointed because it took me that long to get my first adsense payment. But when I talked to others online I found out that they said getting a payment after your first 2 months was good. And since then I have read a lot of posts from those who say they haven't earned any adsense money even though they have had adsense ads on their site for over a year!

I became an adsense consultant because I have seen that so many people are having problems with their adsense account. I think part of the reason is because they are excited about being able to earn legitimate money online that they try too hard and then get easily frustrated.

A lot of people think that since they haven't earned any money with their blogs by using adsense that they won't be able to earn any money with their blog which is not true. You have to remember that there are many different types of blogs out there earning adsense money. You just have to know how to optimize your own blog to earn as much adsense money as you can.

At least that is what I'm doing with my blog.

Continue to watch my counter as the numbers grow and I will continue to tell you about the adsense progress of my blogs and my clients blogs as well!
