3 things to do before reinvesting the Adsense income

"You must consider your blog as a business". 

This is what most of the professional bloggers would advice. Even though it dose not make thousands of dollars or cover your living cost, you have to consider your blog as a proper business. Then, you will have a good picture of the current situation and long term and short terms goals. In another way, you will also understand the strengths and weaknesses of your blog. 

Question is how you going to treat your blog as a real business? As I am experimenting with AdSense I already focus on making money out my blogs. How about you? If yes, there is no reason why you should not take you blog as a business. 

First thing I did was to calculate the total earnings so far. Only with AdSense manage to make over $2000. Then it adds up the payments I received from domain parking, private ads, affiliate programs and freelance work (which I started recently). However, over the time I have spent some on busing domain names, web servers and various other services. So, I amused that there is $1000 as the opening balance. There is no point that trying to figure out all the expenses and income if you did not document them properly. It is a waste of time. Just get a value that you can afford and more forward with it. Remember to record each and every income and expense, just like a real business. 

Secondly, I calculate the average monthly income. If you gone through the previous monthly income reports you will notice that average income is $150.  

Lastly, you need to figure out ways to reinvest a certain portion of your monthly income. I don't recommend you to spend all the monthly income. Because, you need to plan for worst months as well. Specially if you commit to monthly plan even your income drops you have to make the payments. 

Here is the list of reinvestment ideas currently I am using and planning to use. 

1. Outsource writing blog posts  - 

2. Bought Article Spinning Software - 

3. Bought a Bluehost web server account - 

4. Bought couple of good domain names for future use - 

and I am planning to 

1. Buy link building software 

2. Hire someone for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). 

I really appreciate your thoughts and ideas about this.   

[OCT 2010] AdSense Progress So far -

I am so relax after the exams and it took a while to finish it. There is another good news,today is a holiday. I thought today is the best time to share my progress so far using Adense. This is something I haven't done before but I think this would be really interesting.

I thought it would be nice to look back how it was started and where I am now. It s been a challenge and interesting hobby to work with AdSense ads.

* First month I made only $0.01
* Second month I manage to made $5.00
* It took 8 months to made the first $100 and received the Google AdSense payment
* Last month I made AU$98.00  :) and that is the highest so far for a given calendar month.

What was my secret so far? 

So far my AdSense secret is traffic.It is the key for AdSense earning. Also, you need to play a waiting game with AdSense. You should not worry about the earnings at the beginning, if you are starting from zero visitors.
Without reasonable traffic don't even think about optimizing AdSense ads. 

What would be a reasonable traffic needed to start AdSense earning? 

You need 500 - 1000 unique visitors per day to get a better click through rate and start making AdSense dollars. Then only you can experiment with AdSense optimization and find the best suitable template for your website / blog.

What Should I do to increase AdSense earning for the next month? 

I believe I need to work out and use the traffic increasing methods effectively to get more an more traffic to the blog. Another trick might be to start a new blog and bring it to 500 -1000 visitors per day in short time frame with all the experience I have gained so far.

Good luck with your AdSense earning and hope you enjoy my first income report and if you have any tips and tricks don't forget to share with me.

$0.001 per click 1000 clicks to make a $1.00

I was bored with AdSense and thought to explore some other quick ways of making money. I need a quick and easy way to make dollars. Yes. There are so many sites willing to pay me to click on the links and to surf internet or watch youtube videos. For couple of minutes I was thinking how cool is that? Then registered with those websites and gave out the paypal account to receive money. Best thing I found out is that minimum payout is only $1.00. In AdSense, you have to wait until the total reach to US$100.

Let us try it.

After successfully registered with the site I began to watch the youtube video and best part is that I am being paid to watch it. After finishing one, wanted to see more videos but unfortunately, there is nothing left. So even though I am ready there is no more videos. So I had to find another website that will pay me.

Found out a cool site that pay me to click their links. I start clicking on the links and visiting the websites. I am being paid to click. Also, it is fun. I know you would love it as well. After some times I wanted to check the balance and I was surprised.

So far, I have earned only $0.026. What? Not even $0.20. It only pays me $0.001 per click. I did the math and figure it out that it requires 1000 clicks to earn $1.00. It is too bad.

I am back to Google AdSense and even though it requires playing a different type of game, it has more potential. As your website or blog grows with time, you can make more and more without many problems.

I have figure out some nice trends in AdSense that I would love to share it with everyone.

Checking AdSense Balance Everyday

Are you addicted to AdSense? Yes. I think I am addicted to it and notice that I am spending lots of time just checking the AdSense balance as a routine. Wait a second dose it have anything to do with making more money out of it? I do not think so.

Yes if you are keep on waisting time every day just to check the AdSense balance them you MUST stop it. Because checking the AdSense balance every day is nothing to do with making more money out of AdSense.

Firstly I force my self not to log into AdSense account everyday. Even I have time I will not going in that way. Secondly I made a small schedule to log into AdSense and check the balance, if there is any updates or messages. If you are following the Adsense blog then you do not have to worry about keep on update with AdSense. If there is anything that affect to everyone it should be in the AdSense blog.

It is bit hard in the beginning but slowly you can train yourself to go into AdSense account once a week. Hard part is it is always tempting to check how much you have earned today.

Then what makes a positive impact on your AdSense earnings?

Spend time analyzing previous months or weeks and figure out the ups and down of your earnings and try to repeat the successful days and plan to avoid the bad days. AdSense reposts as well as linking the AdSense with Analytics accounts will provide you better view of how you make money from your AdSense Ads. It ables to show you which page it is generating more income, higher CTR. Even you can trace is there any pattern from the visitors you get from referral sites. Fore example: is there any trend to click on ads by the visitors you get from bing or yahoo search engines. Where you can come to conclusion what actually make money from some pages than others. Then try to apply that in to other web pages as well. This kind of analysis is more productive than checking the AdSense balance every day or worst couple of times a day.

AdSense DONTS

In the 100 dollars per day from AdSense journey I have notice some of the things that you should not do with AdSense that can effect badly on AdSense as well as your website.

1. Website or Blog should not start just to make AdSense money.

AdSense (or similar ads programs) is quite tempting. As you read about AdSense it is quite normal to get a feeling that this is one of the easiest ways to make money online. However, as a person who just started your website/blog with 0 visitors it is a good challenge. If you are one of them you should always forcus on starting a website/blog related to you and that you can enjoy doing it as well as maintain it for some times with interesting contents. Focus on producing important content and fresh ideas. That will bring more people to your website/blog and will always generate good AdSense income in later stages.

2. Expect to make million is one night.

If AdSense is so easy way to make couple of millions even within a year or two then I have a question. Where are all these rich people. There should be more rich people than poor. Yep AdSense is just another way of making money and it can be easier than the other money making methods. But you have to work hard and smart as well as need luck for it. So do not give up sometimes it can happen in couple of days, months or years.

3. Let AdSense overtake your webpage.

Sometimes you might feel like adding AdSense ads all over your page to make more profit. It wont do much good in terms of success of your website/blog or AdSense. It can easily make your regular users stop visiting your site or first time visitors will get a wrong impression. So try to use the maximum number of ads if required but in a controlled way. For example, one banner ad in the header, one large square ad in the middle of the content. Another tower ad in the side bar or navigation bar or banner ad before the footer.

4. Go Against the AdSense TOS

AdSense terms and conditions keep on changing time to time to protect the advertisers as well as to improve the quality of the service they provide. So always you should follow the Adsense terms and conditions as well if you have a unclear areas and you cannot find a direct answer you should question it in AdSense help or in official AdSense forum before you trying it. Trying things against AdSense TOS will banned your AdSense account for ever. Google will find it later or sooner.

5. AdSense is the one and only way to make money

If you go through the AdSense forums you can see how many people were disappointed with making little money with AdSense or about their banned account. AdSense is not the one and only way of making money online. There are so many similar methods as well as totally different ways of making money online. Affiliate programs are one of the famous methods you can find. Always try couple of different methods. If it fail today does not mean that it will fail tomorrow as the conditions may have changed. Also you will have alternative ways of generating income if something else failed.

Some say Best method of Search Engine Optimization is to ignore it. I agree with that. It is pretty much applicable for the AdSense as well. Place the Ads optimize it a little bit. Focus on your content and ways to bring more and more visitors will give you better results.

Share your website ideas and experionce

I would like to open up this post to everyone who is interested in Google AdSense and who are trying (just like me) to make 100 dollars per day and who are already making 100 or more dollars to share your story.

[31DBBB] Write an Elavator Pitch for my Blog

As I mentioned in the previous post I am following ProBlogger 31 Days to build a better blog program. 1st day is to Write an Elevator Pitch.

"Lets earn 100 AdSense dollar per day with me."

Hope this sounds good and I will try my best to stick with it and build this blog base on it. If you want to earn a reasonable figure from AdSense and if you have a blog or website this might be good start to bring it to next level. More about how to write a Elevator Pitch can be found in ProBlogger.

Five Dollars Per Day

First of all I should mark that completion of the second sub goal: Make $100.00 dollars withing four months(Average $1.00 per day) . Main Blog CrazzyCool hacks Tricks and Tweaks reach page rank 3 withing after a short time of it reached page rank 2.

Things I followed.
* Keep of Posting - At this stage I did not think much about the content as I was really busy with other stuff. Anyway did not forget to keep my blog.
* Add the Google AdSense in the middle of the post - Which I believe improve the Ad visibility to the users. How to Add AdSense Ads In the middle of the post. will explain how you can apply adin in the middle if you are using a Blogger account.

* Did not do any major change to the look and feel of the blog.

Next sub goal would be to reach $5.00-$10.00 dollars per day from AdSense. That should bring the $100 dollar margin (Magic number) less than four months.

Things I Plan to do..
* Start a new blog that will go in a different direction to the main blog that I am having currently.
* As I mentioned in my previous post follow up 31 days to build a better blog from ProBlogger.
