The Computer Dude Is On Page One Of Google's Search Engine Results!

Since The Computer Dude is one of my clients, I checked where some of his traffic is coming from today.

Someone did a search for "computer dude" and my client's blog address came up on the first page of Google's search results! That's good for him and good for me because it lets me know that I am doing a good job as far as the client is concerned as far as optimizing his blog for the search engines!

I read somewhere that 50% of a site's traffic comes from the search engines so optimizing your website or blog for the search engines is a DEFINITE MUST if you want to optimize your site to earn as much as you can from adsense.

Don't Give Up On Your Blog!

I see a lot of posts from people who talk about how they have had their blog for a year and have yet to make at least the $100 minimum to get an adsense payment.

First let me tell you that I reached the $100 minimum earnings in my 2nd month! And this was before I started this blog!

Almost any blog (or website) can be worked to optimize it for more adsense earnings!

One of the best ways to optimize your blog (or website) for more adsense earnings is to think of your site as a learning manual. It almost doesn't matter what the subject matter is as long as there IS a subject matter. It is very important that your site have a theme or niche because that is one of the best ways to get the right kind of targeted advertising.

Take a look at one of my clients, The Computer Dude's Blog. If you take a look at the ads on the right you will see that the ads match the content of his blog. It may surprise you to know that one of the keywords that adsense crawled for on this blog resulted in a cpm rate of over $100!

You would think that a site that talks about computers would get a low advertising rate because there are so many other sites online about computers. But it all has to do with the kind of content that you put on your site. Now if this kind of stragedy can work for a blog about computers, you can apply these same stagedies to a blog about being a single woman, a blog about your life or even a blog about fishing - YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT KIND OF CONTENT IF YOU WANT TO MAXIMIZE YOUR ADSENSE POTENTIAL AND MAXIMIZE YOUR ADSENSE EARNINGS!

Here is a link to a previous post about how much some people are making using adsense:

A List Of Blogger Earnings!

If you take a good look at this list you will see that there are many different types of blogs and many different kinds of sites that are earning a lot of money via their adsense earnings. And its not just big sites that are earning good adsense revenues. There are a lot of individuals that are earning $2K and more a month using adsense.

So you don't give up on your blog! For one thing your blog has already been established and it will take you more time to build up a new blog and optimize it for adsense. Secondly if you take a look at the list that was mentioned above you will see that all different kinds of sites and blogs have been able to earn good adsense money - why would you think that your blog couldn't do this too?

As long as your blog or website has a theme or niche it has a good adsense earning potential!

It's Nice Being Called A "Pro" - But Don't Try To Take Advantage of Me!

I got an email from someone that wanted me to work on a commission basis - which is something that I do NOT do!. The emailer wanted their adsense earnings to increase to over 200%! They didn't mention a span of time that they wanted this to happen. However they did mention that I would be paid if and only if their adsense earnings had reached that amount.

What do you think of this kind of offer?

I told them that I was definitely not interested in such an offer!

The services that I offer include adsense consulting, blog reviews, content provider and search engine optimation. I think that it is unrealistic to expect a site to increase their earnings by over 200% in a short length of time. I think that it is realistic to expect a significant increase in one's adsense earnings if they do more to optimize their site and provide better and more relevent content. But the work does not stop there. You have to constantly look at your numbers to see what can be done to increase your adsense earnings. You have to bring in more traffic. You have to provide content that includes higher paying keywords so that will bring you higher/more earnings.

I was looking at the adsense numbers for The Computer Dude today and found out that one of the keywords crawled from Adsense's spider generated an advertiser with a rate of over $100! That is what I mean when I say that you should optimize your site for the higher paying keywords! And don't think that just because your site or blog is about something that you don't think will generate higher paying keywords - you would be wrong! You just have to know how to provide the right kind of content and how to incorporate that content into your site or blog.

So no I do not work on a commission basis!

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.

Say "Hello" To My Newest Client - The Computer Dude!

"The Computer Dude". If you take a look at his blog you will see that it is just getting started. Some of the content was added by me so that gives me another professional title of "Blog Content Provider". Also take a good look at how I blended the Adsense Ads so that the color of the adsense ads blend well with the blog's layout.

As the days go by I will continue to tweak this blog more and more. The client is new to blogging and a good reason why I suggested Blogger.com to them was because Blogger gives you the option of adding your entries by email. There is also a new counter that has been added to the bottom of the page and one of the next things that I am going to add is a stats tracker so that I can see where this blog's visitors are coming from.

Since this client is new to blogging I am also going to suggest some sites that they can go to increase the number of visitors to his blog.

As of July 2nd his current number of visitors is 10.

AS of July 2nd there are no adsense earnings to report because the adsense ads were just added within the last 24 hours.

I will keep track of this client's visitor rate as well as the progress of their adsense earnings, click-thru rates, etc.,
