Happy Holidays to all of you. Here in the UK it’s been snowing heavily just recently. Where I live hasn’t been hardest hit but it’s been snowing pretty consistently. Here’s what it looks like on Xmas Eve.
Here’s where you can do me a favour and also yourself at the same time. Allow me to explain. In the comments below I want you to ask me your most burning Adsense questions. It doesn’t matter how big or small, just ask the question that you most want an answer to. In return I am going to answer some of these questions here on this blog. Some of the others will be answered in our coaching course either as an FAQ or part of the product itself.
Either way you benefit as I’ll be sharing some of the answers with you to help you make even more money online from Adsense in 2010. Can’t say fairer than that.
Thanks for your time I appreciate all of you and wish you the best for 2010.
hey dean
i see you have had plenty of snow up there too
as u prob know i went through your ebook a while back and took some very useful methods from it that have helped my adsense earnings
My first adsense site that i built a while back ive converted to wordpress as i find wordpress easier to add content and tweak etc. I only built my 2nd adsense site about 6 weeks ago and this month im at $75.00 already as of today with still 6 days left so its building up nicely
Anyway something i would like to get your feedback on is, all of my sites only really get clicks from the main index page and the inner pages rarely get ranked. (this is something a lot of other people have agreed with also)
So do u think we should just make a 1 page site for adsense with the first and only post being a good 700+ article?
And then the time, articles and money that we would usually spend doing the content for our site, use instead for promotion and building more traffic
Thanks dean
hope your well
paul
HI DEAN.
HOW CAN I MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR TEACHING. NOW I’M BROKEN. I’M UNABLE TO SPEND A SINGLE DIME . TEACH ME TO MAKE MONEY.
I have had this website up and running for about 6 to 9 months. I have yet made any money on it. WHY?
Hi Dean, Yes, that seems a good idea, to take you up on you offer to assist me with Adsense questions. I know this will sound pathetic but, I have not yet dared try to apply for an adsense account as I have heard like Amazon they tricky to obtain. as I understand it one has to qualify. if this is indeed how it is, is there a more simple approach. Your input will be much appreciated.
best wishes and Merry Christmas. Chris
I am running this website say more than 1 years. But i donot know, i will optimize this with google adsense. Give some thought on this issue. Thanks
My wishful thinking goes like this for a total beginner for Adsense-(1)how to build a 1page adsense oriented site(2)how to add subsequent pages & link them together(3)find a good topic to start a site with no dearth of content(4)maturing/nurturing a site to make it adsense ready n qualify to get an Adsense account when applied for it(5)ad selection n placement(6)running and maintaining the site and keep it fresh with readable content thereafter. Think, if I cover these aspects, I should expect a healthy revenue from it for long time to come ! Do you agree ? If yes, pl do cover all these in your teachings. Thanks
Hi Dean, I really did not know that there is that much snow in UK
Anyway I love your instruction and am looking forward to see your new Adsense Coaching Course…
Yea i could see you have many snow flowing up over there.
Guy i am also into adsense and affiliate but i can tell you the result is not good enough, despite i am very good on dating tips which i rendered free of charge still yet i am not making good money from it.

Everyone - Thanks for your comments, I’m giving it another couple of days for anyone else to ask their Adsense question as it’s busy over the holiday period then I’ll start addressing whatever we have at that point. So if you want to ask a question, there’s still time
Hi Dean
As a Beginner I want to learn to build adsense site
page by page and then where and how to upload
on the hosting account. Question is will I need a
Domain name for adsense?
Thanking you.
Okay folks I am going to start addressing your questions thus far.
@Shaikh - You upload to your hosting account using FTP software such as SmartFTP or Filezilla. You will also need to setup an addon domain on your hosting account and ensure the nameservers are pointing at your host server for your domain. I realise a lot of this may sound technical to you so be sure to read through Content Cash Secrets Ebook ( http://www.contentcashsecrets.com if you haven’t got it already ) and let me know if you still have any questions on this.
With regard to domain name, you will need one if you want control over it. A domain name is simply the name of your site with an extension, so for example dean-james.com is my domain name for this blog. People can then find my site by typing in http://www.dean-james.com into their browser. A domain name costs less than $10. For Adsense you want it to be relevant to your niche/topic so the content is themed around it and it’s tightly focused. If you want to go down the FREE route you can set up a free blog with Blogger which is fine but you won’t have ultimate control over it so be aware of this fact. For the sake of less than 10 bucks you may as well start out with your own domain from the outset.
@Abayomi - 1. Your site homepage is optimized for harmony-money.com but people won’t be typing that phrase into the search engines in any volume.
2. You have content but there are multiple posts per page. For adsense I recommend 1 post per page optimized around a keyword phrase.
3. Your ads scream out “I am an ad”. Get rid of the green URL’s.
4. Your ad placement is not optimal. Read CCS Ebook for my recommendations on ad placement.
5. Your site is not themed around dating sufficiently for Adsense to pick up and display ads. At the moment it’s regarding your site as an MMO ( make money online ) site and displaying ads accordingly. If someone was reading your dating post they wouldn’t want to click on an ad about a business opportunity…
6. I recommend you keep MMO stuff on one site and dating on another. Having both on one site is just going to confuse your visitors and you will have a harder job driving targeted traffic.
@Brett - The snowfall was pretty heavy for the UK. Up in Scotland it’s got as cold as minus 16. Michael Cheney tells me the snow is pretty crunchy up there too
There is more cold coming in from Syberia apparently so we are back in the minus temperatures soon.
Thanks for your kind words I am very excited about bringing people a quality Adsense Coaching Course that we are looking to launch in Jan 2010 all being well.
@Kamal - If you optimize for Adsense put the ads above the fold and make sure that you don’t have multiple posts per page, you want the ads to contextualise so they are relevant to the content ( and thus the visitor/searcher ). Concentrate on driving targeted traffic to the site and monitor your stats.
@PKP - Thanks for your comments. The course will be designed to take people right from the basics/beginnings to making money online and then scaling things up. Early next year ( Jan ) more will be revealed
@Chris - The worst thing they can do is turn you down. If they do, just take note of what they say, make necessary changes and reapply. A lot of what you read in forums isn’t true, particularly about SEO and Adsense - it’s often hearsay or ‘chinese whisper’ type comments. Have you already got a site with some decent content on there that is indexed in Google? If it looks like a quality site you should apply.
@Nasrullah - You don’t actually NEED money to make money, it just means you need to invest more time to achieve an online income.
Look at this way.
If you are TIME RICH and CASH POOR, you can afford to invest time to make money as you have more time than you do money.
If you are TIME POOR and CASH RICH you can afford to invest money as your time is valuable.
If you are TIME RICH and CASH RICH you are swinging from a hammock in Barbados… and sure we’d all love to do that, but one thing at a time right
Of course, by paying for your education by purchasing the right products, you accelerate your education which cuts down the learning curve so you can make more money in a shorter timeframe and do things the right way. Now obviously I am going to have valuable information I give away for FREE ( i.e. Content Cash Secrets Ebook / Site Flipping Formula Report ) which will help you make money and paid products that help people such as the Adsense Coaching Course which will be going live next year ( and so on ).
@Lenny - You need to optimize your site so that it is relevant to the product you are trying to sell to your visitors. You then need to drive visitors to your site that are interested in the product you are offering. Pay attention to those 2 points because they are HUGE. After that it’s a case of paying attention to copy to increase conversions if it’s a commission only product ( pay per sale or a product you are selling yourself ). You may benefit from checking out my Affiliate Code Review on this blog.
@Paul - Great to hear your site earnings are going well for your second site. Great question Paul, I get the feeling it could end up being a lengthy reply once I start typing. I hope you don’t mind but I’m going to either address in it a future post or in the Adsense Course ( as you’ve asked the question I will give you the answer at such time if it’s not posted on this blog ).
Glad things are going well for you Paul. Here things are going great. Christmas is a nice time but I am equally happy to get on with doing the things I am passionate about
@Everyone - 24 hours left to ask your Adsense question if you want to. After that I’ll be posting more about Adsense in future posts and in the coaching course early next year.
