The Chicken Wing Theory
In the not too distant past, Adsense was the darling of the Internet Marketing World. Those new to the Internet Marketing arena jumped on board the Adsense bandwagon thinking they could make money online fast and be holding up big checks like Shoemoney. Then, after a few weeks getting paid just a few cents for their clicks, they then become discouraged and screamed to anyone who would read their rants that Adsense doesn’t work any longer.
The fact is, there are still many of us who are getting paid damn good checks with Google Adsense. Making money with Adsense requires a little more than just throwing up a blog, scraping content and adding your Adsense code. In a Nutshell, Adsense is still one of the easy ways to make money online. Here’s some advanced tips that will help increase your money from Google Adsense.
To begin with, take a long hard look at the site where you have your ads. Is your site targeted to one niche? I find it really humurous sometimes when so called Internet Marketer say you can’t make any money with Adsense. I usually check out their site and see that it isn’t optimized for any keyword that advertisers would be bidding on. Or, what advertisers that are bidding are bidding a nickel per hit. The lack of a focused website is one of the biggest reasons Webmasters don’t make bank with Google Adsense.
For Adsense to give you the highest paying ads, your site has to be very targeted to a keyword. Think about this for a minute, if you publish stories on your site talking about everything from how green the grass is today to how sloppy your kids teacher dressed, Google is not going to give you the high paying keywords. What’s more, the ones you do get probably will not be targeted to your audience because the Adsense bot is having an impossible time trying to figure out what your website is about.
You can start taking notes now. Let’s say your website is about Chicken Wings. On this site, you only have articles dealing with chicken wings. You have articles about Hot Wings, Barbecue Chicken Wings, Wing Sauce Recipes, How to cook Chicken Wings, etc. Now if you’ve done your on-page SEO properly, the Adsense bot will know that you site is all about Chicken Wings. You’ll get the highest paying ads related to cooking chicken or even chicken wings their self. Plus, when you have visitors to your site, they’re going to click on those Adsense ads if they want more information about chicken wings.
Still yet, another humorous statemetn is when a noob says he’s getting a steady stream of traffic from Stumble Upon or Digg, but he isn’t getting any clicks? It’s no secret to most of us that Social Traffic doesnt convert. Traffic from Social Sites are just browsing the Internet while they’re at work. They don’t click ads people!
Organic traffic is what drives Adsense clicks. If your website is niche focused and you have your site ranking well for its keywords, then when search engine traffic from Google arrives, they’ll be clicking ads. They’re searching for information and they found it on your site. Your site has a bunch of Adsense ads about what they’re looking for. They’re gonna click!
Another proven tactic is to have some vague or long drawn out articles on your site. If someone is looking for a recipe on Chicken Wings with Cheese Fritters and you have an article by the same name, they’ll be reading that article. But if that article is really long and boring and says very little about Chicken Wings with Cheese Fritters, they’ll get bored and start looking around your site. That’s when they’ll see an Adsense block with an ad for a sure fire, can’t miss Chicken Wing with Cheese Fritter recipe and click on it. You don’t want to solve their problems, you want them to see an ad that they believe will solve their problem so they will click on it!
