Musta na adsense earnings natin? mukhang tahimik ngayon dito adsense blogging category ah. Napansin ko lang mataas ang eCPM ko lately.

kayo rin ba maganda performance ng adsense nyo? I don't know kung trend lang to, sana hindi at tuloy tuloy lang.

Wala ba mag post ng screenshot? pang pa inspire naman jan.

I just earned my first payout this month lang after 2 years! I was banned twice! Until now, I learned a few secrets. I have 4 sites from blogspot. 1 main site that I own a domain and I recently bought 1 domain this month that is starting to earn. Let me tell you what I know.

1. Content is King but I say, keyword is King. In writing a post of a targeted keyword, you have to make that keyword in bold. U must maintain a keyword density of 3%. So in 100 words article, the keywords will appear 3 times.

2. Clicks from residents in US and UK are priced high than our local residents. So make articles suitable for these audience.

3. It's ok to click on your ads at least twice a week but only once! How? Utilize google! Search for a certain keyword that will link to you site when you google it. Navigate ur site for 3 minutes. Click on one of your ads! Navigate that ad site for 2 minutes. That is considered valid!

4. You may go to different cafes spending 30 minutes and doing no. 3.

5. Header ads (leaderboards) earn much that ads in sidebar and those within the article.

6. Gaming sites and graphics, and music sites, or streaming sites, or porn sites got high value ads!

PM me if you want to know more...again, I learned these while doing some SEO articles online by clients and by mere suggestions from my bloggers friends. It's not a guarantee that it will work for you. But it might as well help. Just observe or give time on it.

Thanks!

These are not valid clicks and are considered click fraud. Stop doing this as the long term effects are not good. Now I understand why you got banned twice.

Advertisers are willing to pay publishers because they make money when they convert their ads into actual sales. Clicking your own ads does not bring money to advertisers. They will actually have to spend more because they pay for clicks that do not convert. If more of you do this, advertisers will need to pay more for more clicks but won't necessarily make the sales which will bring down eCPMs which will mean less earnings for publishers in general.

Don't be stupid and stop doing this because you're just digging your own grave and taking all of us who work hard to make money online with you.

Number 4 made me laugh.

But then if you're happy doing this fraudulent way of making money for the rest of your life rather than going about it the right way and learn how to earn passively without going around in different internet cafes just to click on your own ads, best of luck!

Hehehehe... nakakatuwa naman. I wouldn't dare try to click my own ads, even if I use a different computer on some public Internet station. What's gaining a few cents from clicking my own ads COMPARED TO getting banned from Adsense forever? Better to make small but honest money than get lots of dishonest money, but suffer the consequences sooner or later.

Whatever you want to call it, clicking on your own ads is fraud. You are cheating the advertisers and this affects also the other publishers, with this trick. If advertisers cannot trust their publishers, we won't be earning a single centavo online from Adsense.

ako nga I even warn my relatives and friends not to click my ads... mahirap na.

Great share there Xerendipity. Except for the own ad clicking which I totally would not recommend.

Now for the main topic. We'll I haven't really earned big time from blogging with adsense but I used to sell an ebook though my blog and it paid well. I also earned from affiliate sales. I primarly use my blog to promote products and sites that have affiliate programs.

And I think one of the key success factors I have when I started was really building a list through my blog. Don't know if you have heard of it but when they say the money is on the list, it is true. I have 500 people now on a list I built since January. Still small but I use this list to promote my sites and sell stuff. And I'm quite actually surprised because almost 5% of my list bought something from me or one of my affiliate sites. That's why my focus now is building a huge list. I can't imagine the returns when I have a list as big as 10,000! Hehe.

But heading there...

5% is not a bad conversion rate! Congrats charlie

Yep, the list is everything. You can literally make thousands of dollars if the product you're pitching is tailored to your list, and if you practice proper segmentation.

Thanks! Tuwa nga ako dun sa conversion rate kasi some have 2% lang pala. I just ran into issues with Getresponse fees kasi mas mahal na pala sila if your list is more than 500 so I decided to host my own autoresponder instead and now I'm building again.

Re: Getresponse. Ako rin I signed up before kasi flat rate yung subscription fee, hindi based sa number of subscribers. But since July nagbago na. Ok rin naman yung service, kailangan lang sulitin ko and I'll be watching out for obviously inactive/non-converting subscribers. When my subscription runs out, pagisipan ko pa if I'll renew.

I've been targetting a $1000 a month for the past 12months akala ko kakayanin na nung super hot pa yung isang social network site pero malas nagbago ang ihip ng hangin biglang bumaba ang value ng niche na yun. Ayun na udlot. One thing Ive learned dapat talaga iba't ibang niche ang mga sites nyo para kahit di na hot ang isang niche may sasalba pa. So, far kasi adsense at bidvertiser ang natry ko.

Goodluck! sa atin lahat.
