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.

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!

A Little SEO Experiment

I posted a while back about how well my blog ranked when the search term "adsense consultant" was typed into google's search engine. Usually my blog will show up on page 1 or page 2 of google's search engine results. Well I did another seo check of the term "adsense consultant" and while a link to one of my posts showed up on page 2 of google's search engine results, my actual blog didn't show up until page three! So a little more work is necessary.

When you are trying to optimize your website or blog for higher rankings in the search engines remember to use the keywords that you want to associate with your site. In my blog's case it would be:

adsense consultant

adsense consultants

"adsense consultant"

adsense help

help with adsense

Of course there are other keywords that people have used that led them to my blog but for now I want to concentrate on some of the main search terms that I want to have associated with my blog.

If you have a new website or blog and you want your site to show up in google's search engine results as fast as possible, you're going to have to decide what keywords you want to associate with your site and then do the work to incorporate those keywords into your website.

Since I am an adsense consultant then I want to target my blog to those that need help with their adsense. It doesn't matter whether they are new to adsense or whether they have had adsense for a while. People still need help with their adsense accounts. They want to know how they can optimize their adsense earnings so that they can earn as much as they can. They want to know how they can get their website or blog to show as high up on the search engine results or rankings as possible. They want to know the higher or highest paying keywords so that they can earn even more money with their adsense. They want to know how they can increase their website traffic so that they can get even more adsense earnings.

On and on people have a lot of questions about adsense. They want to know how they can make a lot of adsense money.

That's why I'm an adsense consultant.

Client-The Computer Brother Has Been Approved For Adsense!

The Computer Brother's Blog has been approved by adsense and now the adsense ads are up!





Like I said before when you first sign up for adsense your blog or website has to be reviewed by them. In this case it too adsense just 2 days to send the email to my client saying that their blog was approved. After getting the news I immediately added some adsense ads to my client's blog.

If you take a good look at The Computer Brother's Blog you will see that the adsense ads match the content of the blog.

Now since the adsense ads were just added last night there aren't any numbers to report as to how much the client has made so far. And since this is July 30th and there is one more day left in the month of July their numbers may be small.

But the client is excite and I am excited too!

We're both anxious to see how soon those adsense numbers start adding up.

The next thing to do is to work on The Computer Brother blog's traffic! I have a good idea in mind to help with that process but I will have to implement it first before I post the results here!

In the meantime, if you'd like to see the kind of work that I do then just visit The Computer Brother's Blog. Look at the adsense ads. Take a look at the counter and note the traffic so far and look and see how well the adsense ads blend in well with the layout, look and color scheme of the blog.

Blog Review - The Computer Dude!

A while back I mentioned that I had my first (paying) client (besides myself of course). This client was totally new to blogs and blogging. Of course he had seen blogs all over the internet but he just thought that he would never have one. Well I changed all of that! Now The Computer Dude has a blog of his own! As you can see he is into computers and computer repair. He has told me that he doesn't seem to get much business mostly because people don't seem to want to pay anything. I have told him that I have had potential clients like that and I am sure that this is true in almost every profession there is out there!

I explained all the advantages to him about having a blog. The most important of which is that people all over the world will be able to see his blog, find out more about him and even be able to ask him questions! It also gives him a good business identity. He can put his blog address on all of his business materials including his business cards and any other promotional material that his business has.

Take a good look at his blog. I chose one of Blogger's layouts but of course the layout can be changed to almost any way that he wants. There are many different websites that have Blogger-type layouts that one can use.

The adsense ads have been added to his blog and I incorporated the adsense ads so that they blend with the color scheme of the blog.

Still in it's beginning stages, the blog lacks content and I would recommend that he (and any other bloggers) add at least 2 entries per week. Even more would be better but if you're new to blogging, adding 2 entries a week is a good starting point.

I would also like it if the blog had more content on the right side of the blog just to fill it out more. Depending on your style, interests, etc. there are widgets out there that you can add to your blog to make it look more like your blog (plus it helps to fill some of the empty spaces). Don't have your blog look too bare but don't have so much stuff on there that makes it look crowded.

I have also included a counter and a stats tracking code so that the blogger can track his traffic and see where his traffic is coming from.

Since I am giving this client the full-blown treatment, the next thing to work on is increasing his traffic.

I will post more on the progress of this client here on my blog.

I think I did a pretty good job so far, don't you?

I Do Not Review Websites/Blogs For Free

There is a wealth of free information online about blogs including how you can increase traffic to your blog, how to optimize your blog or website for the search engines and much, much more.

I charge a minimum of $100 to review a blog. Why? Because when people ask you to look at their blog they are looking for detailed criticism. They want to know exactly what they can do to improve the look of their blog, how they can increase traffic to their blog or how they can make their blog show up in the search engines. And like I said in the above paragraph there are lots of sites that offer this kind of information for free.

I am an Adsense Consultant which means I charge a fee for helping people with their adsense account(s). I also have a service where I will help start up a blog for you. You can see my client's The Computer Dude's blog to see just how my services look. What qualifies me to be an Adsense Consultant? I started getting my adsense payment the second month that I joined adsense. While I'm wary of revealing just how much I make with Adsense, I will tell you that I have been able to get an adsense payment every month since that 2nd month which means that I have at least been able to earn the $100 minimum each month.

It also seems that I am also becoming a blog consultant. Even though blogging has become a very popular topic there are still those that don't know a lot about blogging but what they do know is that they would like to start a blog of their own.

Lastly I am also a SEO consultant as well. SEO stands for search engine optimization and what that means is that you want to optimize your site for the search engines - meaning that you want your site to show a high ranking when it appears in the search engine results.

What qualifies me to be a SEO consultant? Type in the search term "adsense consultant" and see where my blog is listed. Usually my blog will show up on page 2 of Google's search engine results. Sometimes it shows up on page one. I have managed to do this with my blog being only about 4 months old. I haven't submitted my blog to the search engines and I believe that I got the search engine rankings I did was because of the content that I provide on my blog.

That is exactly what you have to do if you want your site(s) to show high in the search engine results. You have to decide which keywords you want your site to be associated with and you have to see where your site ranks on the search engines. If your site isn't ranked as high as you want it to be then you have to work to get the rank results that you want and you have to keep working on it constantly. Every day new websites and new blogs are added to the Internet - which is another chance for your website or blog to be "knocked down" on the search engine results - which means you have to constantly work on the content of your site.

I Have A New Client!

Yipeeeeeeeeee for me 'cause I have a new client!

This client is new in every sense of the word! First a blog has been created and set up for them. Since I just created this blog today I won't post the address until a few more entries are added. Before you can use Adsense you have to have a website or blog set up first and this is what is being done.

These first few entries will have content added to it to help optimize the earning potential of the Adsense ads. Now that Adsense is tightening their rules about who can and can't join the appropriate steps have to be taken to make sure that this blog will be accepted by adsense.

So besides adding some entries to this blog I have also added a counter to help track traffic. In the next few days I am going to add a stats tracker so that the traffic can be monitored and analyzed.

If you would like to become a client of mine just visit my Adsense Consultant page for more information.

Remain True To Your Blog!

I know that once you get a taste of that Adsense money coming in you may try to find a way to "speed it up". Thus the onslaught of blogs that don't have too much content but what they do have is minimum content and sometimes these sites look like they just have lines of text containing words that they think will bring in the bigger paying keyword phrases. So you get a lot of blogs (and websites) with a lot of gargled content on them.

I hope you resist the urge to do this. Some of the more successful Adsense publishers managed to earned a good deal of income while remaining true to the contents of their site(s) and you could do the same thing too! The most important part of this - I think - is having a theme to your blog. No matter how insignificant you think your subject matter might be there are probably a good number of Adsense advertisers that will appear on your site.

Remain true to your blog. If you add your content the right way you will increase both your traffic and your click through rates. There are a number of profession content providers out there and I am one of them. We provide content to your blog or site that will help increase your Adsense revenue by providing relevent content to your site. Say for instance you have a post that you are ready to add to your blog but you want to optimize it for better Adsense revenue - you can submit your posts to one of us professional content providers and your content will be re-worked to provide better optimization and still keep with the purpose of remaining true to your blog.

So many people have posted saying that the ads that show on their sites aren't relevent to the content of their sites and all that they have to do is re-word that content so that the ads that do show will be relevent to their site. It may seem hard at first but once you get the hang of it it will prove to be quite fun!

Blending Your Adsense Ads

I want you to take a good look at the Adsense Ads that appear on the right side of my blog. They blend in perfectly with the rest of my blog's layout don't they?

One of the services that I provide is providing you with the right hexi codes that match the color of your blog or website. I provide the color codes for:

• your site's background

• the border color

• your text color
  

• your title color

• the color of your url/link(s)

I charge $49 for this service and you can make your payment via the PayPal button on this blog or on my Adsense Consultant page

If you're wondering how well I can match the color of your site all you have to do is look at the Adsense ads on my sites and judge for yourself! However I do want to point out that I only provide this service for solid colored backgrounds! Although I'm working on a way to be able to blend an Adsense ad into any type of colored background I'd first have to check with Adsense to see if they allow this kind of thing.
