First of all I wish you a happy new year and wish you all the best for a fantastic 2011. Thanks you very much for the support over the past year and I really appreciate it. In terms of AdSense it was a exciting year and I really have some good news to share with you.
AdSense Revenue Report
Let's move to the December AdSense Revenue Report. December was the best month so far. In December total estimated earning recorded as AU$176.48. That was a nice Christmas and New Year present. Finally, I manage to exceed AU$150.00. Comparing to the November it is +AU$53.88.
December - AU$ 176.48
November - AU$ 122.60
Difference - + AU$ 53.88
Comparing the number of visitors and number of clicks received for the ads Page eCPM played the major role. As it was the holiday season, advertisers increase the bid to gain more sales. It will be challenge to continue the same level of income in the next couple of months.
Plans for the Year 2011
Finally, I bought a web server account from one of the best shared web server provider, Bluehost. It only cost me $6.95 per month. I am trying to fully utilized the unlimited bandwidth, storage space, email accounts. Also, they provide you a facility to create any number websites. It is the ideal web hosting for me to start couple of new websites in different niches. Ideally I will be able to experiment AdSense performance with different niches as well as multiply the AdSense revenue. During the year 2010, I was totally concentrating on one blog with AdSense ads. I was able to achieve many goals in terms of traffic and AdSense revenue.
I already started a social network site for Sri Lanka using buddypress and start getting more than 100 hits per day after couple of days and over 1300 facebook fans. However, I am still waiting to monetize the project. Like I mentioned in previous posts first required to maintain healthy traffic to the website. I used facebook advertising to increase the facebook fans. As I am trying to build a network I chose facebook than AdWords.
In Adwords I have to pay for each click and once they left the site, that would be the end.
I am wishing you all the best and once again thank you so much for visiting my blog and your support. If you need any help setting up the web server accounts or wordpress blogs I can definitely help you on that. Do not forget to subscribe for AdSense updates. I will share all the AdSense tricks tips and hacks that I will be using.

Secret of brining 4300 visitors to a single post
Yes, this is amazing and I am really excited about these numbers. One post manage to attract more than 4000 unique visitors for 4 days. It manage to make extra $20.00. More traffic more AdSense money and that's not a secret any more. It will be interesting to go through what exactly I did to here to get this result.
Remember I told you that I am using Google News Alerts to know the latest trends and latest stories related to my blog. That really works on giving your visitor the latest information and SEO point of view you will able to blog about trendy topics that most of the people will be searching for. This is not the only way to do that. There are many other ways like twitter, facebook (any Social Website) and special tools Google trends.
This time I was luck with Yahoo Answers. Suddenly I have noticed that people start asking "What happed to Limewire?". When I really check the Limewire website it was closed due to a legal issues and that created blog post. More than I was lucky I managed to apply SEO Secrets on that post well. Lets run through the SEO tricks I apply on the post one by one.
1. Keyword Question Blog Titles
Blog Post Title: "What Happened to Limewire?"
Title it self is a Keyword Praise.
That is the best part as I was noticing this in Yahoo Answer, it was easy to know what everyone interested in the story is looking for and the best keywords they use to query in Google. No doubt that title is catchy and get enough attention.
So, It is important to know what exactly people are looking for and what keywords they use to search. What is the point of posting something that no one search for. Yahoo Answers is a better place to figure out trendy questions that most of the people have and understand how they ask the question. Also,I found this free keyword Question tool comes in handy to get keyword question blog titles for particular niche.
2. Answer the Question
By default blog post is going to be the answer for the question. If you get the question correctly then there is no reason why the answer can be wrong. But make sure do enough research and resources quickly as possible. Don't forget to include the keywords you use in the question title. I don't see any reason why someone will miss this but it is quite important.
3. Getting Inbound Links
Your post is ready and lets start finding some incoming links to the post. I know most of us who start blogging really focus on link exchange to get more and more inbound links. However, most of the case we target the home page. This time I manage to focus on the post.
I use my blog post link in Yahoo Answer to answer the questions. At that time I was only thinking about the referral traffic. But it turn out to be a plus point for SEO.
My blogging friend Roezer at Blog HQ gave me a link from his post specially done to support my topic. This was Roezer idea as he use this trick pretty effectively. It is important to have good friends around you and your blog.
Thirdly, I went to couple of blogs that talk about Limewire and commented on the posts. I choose them randomly and did not even check the page rank (I do not really care about Page Rank). I did not just drop my link there but left a relevant thought about the post and drop a link to the post (not to the home page) where they want me to mention my website. That way it will not mark it as spam.
Just by getting these three factors right did the trick. Google index my post instantly and when I check blog stats next day I can see people are visiting the post. There wasn't many referral hits but search engine traffic. It jumped in to 3rd place in Google for "What happened to Limewire?"
SEO tricks I have mentioned here in not new or figure out by me. I know it is not a big secret as well. Everyone read about them, study about them but how many how us using them properly. Biggest secret and challenge is how you can use these SEO tips in the correct way to get results instantly. This is just one such a successful scenario. I have lot to learn about and experiment.
I will make sure I will share all these experiments and its results and don't forget to signup for the 100 dollars per day feed.

Traffic Tricks - Ways to get more traffic and more AdSense Dollars
Every webmasters or blogmaster s dream is to get more traffic to their website (or blog). There are so many ways to bring traffic. But I would like to discuss couple of methods that would help increase your traffic counters quickly and its AdSense impact.
Twitter - You cannot make much impact unless you have huge number of followers. This was true but not any more. Twitter search is a quite interesting page that will help you to find some targeted visitors.
Trending Topics will gives you a idea what twitters are tweeting about. Include some thing related to trending topics in your blog website and start twitting with the trending keywords. You will be amazed how may will visit your link and retweet it (if it is interesting) and they will start following you.
Regular tweeting about interesting facts about trending topic will generate more and more targeted traffic. It gives a plus impact on AdSense Revenue as well.
Link to this blog - Link to this blog is a nice and cool feature you can find in blogger blogs. It will allow you to re-post the original post in your blog that will leave a link to your blog from original post.
As long as you find the best blogs in your topic and link with them will bring 100s or 1000s of visitors to your blog. AdSense impact is quite amazing as well. Gmail Blog and Google blog are few of the blogs I found interesting when it comes to talk about Computer and Internet.
Using Social networks like digg.com redit.com are couple of other methods you might have using for sometimes.
All these methods can generate quick traffic but next hour or day it will drop back to normal. Interesting content and traps (news letter sign ups, RSS feed sign up, book mark tools ) will able to catch some of these traffic and they will be come regular visitors to your web site.
