"AdSense"
Building Your Website Content
The key to a good
AdSense site is offering lots of
content to attract the search
engines. Although there are
many different forms of content, by
far the most readily available forms
is articles. Most
purpose-build AdSense sites are
created using articles of some sort.
You can get
articles completely free from many
article directories on the Internet.
See the submission directories
section below for links to many good
article directories.
You can also get
articles at low cost using sites
like elance.com and from the many
sites selling modifiable article
packs. Modifiable articles are
always better as you can change them
to make them unique (search engines
like unique content), but even free
articles from directories can
generate traffic from the search
engines.
Once you've
gotten hold of suitable articles to
match your keywords, you turn them
into web pages (one per article),
link them together, add your AdSense
advetising blocks and you're in
business.
Probably the most
time-consuming part of all this is
turning the articles into web pages.
After you've designed one web page
with one article in, you need to
copy each article in turn into the
same page design to create each
separate page, then link them all
together. They need to be
linked so the Search Engine Spiders
can find all the pages.
You can save a
lot of time creating web pages from
your articles by using automatic
tools such as those in our Article
Plus Toolkit. These provide a
really quick and easy way to build a
fully-linked set of web pages from
simple articles. The tookit
also includes a special AdSense
Income Booster tool which build
special Adsense Advertising blocks
which can increase clickthrough
revenues from your sites.
Hosting Your AdSense Sites
Most people
generating good revenue from Adsense
have lots of sites. 50 or more
sites is not unusual. It takes
time to build this number, but sites
often don't need to be that large
and if you create one every week or
two, it soon builds up. It's
much easier to get 50 sites
generating $200 a month each than to
get one site generating $10,000 a
month.
You can use any
sort of hosting for your site, but
most AdSense sites are hosted on
separate domain or at lease separate
subdomains. Paying 50 hosting
fees can get mighty expensive.
Fortunately there some hosts that
let you host as many sites as you
want with just a single hosting
account.
Ideally you want
an account which gives you plenty of
storage space to hold the pages for
lots of sites (500MB at least).
You should also look for good
24-hour support, preferably by
email, Live Chat and telephone.
There are a few
hosting companies that offer all the
above features, but probably the
best one around is Hostgator.
They offer a complete high-quality
package for just $9.95 per month.
