Post how much you make and how you did it. I have a blog with about 13 posts and adsense now, how do I get mad traffic? I was interested in parlingo adsense clicking group from the last thread but I cannot find the owner calling himself HAM. Where are you?

>how do I get mad traffic?

By:
Not using blogger. Get a real site nig.
Doing actual keyword research for the site/posts
Not posting your boring fucking life stories/ideas

But you wont make any money. Adsense isn't worth it. Sell your own products, do CPA, or be an affiliate for someone else. Instead of making 70c a click you can make $30+.

HAM will probably be here anytime. but he's always active on Palringo, you can find him there.

also, I got questions OP. you had 13 posts but you now have adsense? how long did it take for you to get that shit enabled, because when I try to go to my earnings tab, it says that my blog is not eligible for adsense application, and I cant click the apply for adsense button. its greyed out. please reply on my email the address of your blog. ive got mine running for weeks now with about 10 posts, still cant apply

people get ban even if they are not in exchange groups. You need to look at risk vs returns. So you earn 10X more by exhanging but you get banned from 6-12 months (average time before banned). Instead of getting natural clicks for 1 year and only earn $100 you can earn over $2,000 in 1 year. 2k per year is super low i even earn more and im consider a low earner in group. HAM

PS" the pic is before i got banned the first time. Now i rather earn less to stay safe not banned yet. I laster 12 months earning 600 paying my 28% tax withholding so i was making more then 600 per month.

I do blogging but not with click groups. I've posted in the last few threads and I think i've been able to give some decent advice.

I started in Dec and my blogs make around 900$/mo net. Primarily through affiliates and sales of services (which I outsource). Pretty nice business model. If you're going by standard valuation my assets are worth around 15k. I'm still a bit skeptic to re-enter the clickgroup plan since I got banned in 2011, I'd have to make a new acct and whatnot.

Feel free to ask specific questions (can't give you a link to the blogs though for obvious reasons), or you can email me if you want a private evaluation or w/e.

I have more fun answering questions than actually doing the work so...

My main advice is to learn how to do proper keyword research. That's where the money is.

If you write for any subject other than old people interests, everyone will have adblocker. Don't you have it installed now? When was the last time you clicked an ad? As old people die off, ad business will fall. Nobody past gen x clicks ads. (Unless click group) Don't get me wrong, you can make decent money from it, but it's not the most lucrative use of your time.

> certain topics that earn more and that get more impressions / clicks?
This is the key to making money. It's all about targeting the right markets. You want something not competitive, but still has like, 10k searches a month.

Those types of keywords are called “head keywords”. The majority of searches, around 70%, are what’s called “long tail keywords”. These keywords are longer and more specific than generic terms. For example; “Shoes” is a competitive head keyword to rank for. “Best running shoes on sale” is a long tail keyword.

Basically, you find a keyword you want to show up for in google. "best starcraft build" and you produce a bunch of content that is about that.

At the moment I just post gaming news (500+ words though) but that's what all the other big websites such as IGN and GameSpot do as well, except that most of their posts contain less words.

Is weight loss a good subject? I know a lot of people actually really care about this, but the majority of people that search for that stuff is probaby too young to be 'old'.

Very interested in blogging not solely for monetary gains but also for pursuing a productive 'hobby' and learning about building shit on the web. Thank you for these threads!

Questions:

1. My desired .com TLD is not available, however .net, .org,... etc. versions are. What role does the domain name and ending play in Google ranking? And do I eventually have to put up with claims by the 'original' owner? Also I heard or read once that .org domains are only used for non-profit stuff, is that correct?

2. When the domain name is German (not a .de domain, just the name) but the content is english, will I experience less traffic? How hard is it to implement language switching on the site? Wouldn't mind to translate my content. Or would it be better then to have two separate sites? I'm located in yurop so multiple AdSense accounts should be no problem.

So, you have no idea what you're talking about...? The $600 I made last month was imaginary? It's weird because all of the clicks came from palringo.

>> No.291738

$400 is so-so, really. If you do it every day, there's no reason why you shouldn't make closer to 1k per month.

Any content is fine. Writing about myths and monsters would be very unique, and uploading drawings along with the writing would be best. :)

Come to our group. I am MrPink.

1000 daily searches is a whole lot. You're not going to find something not already saturated at that level. Shoot for like, 10,000 - 3000 a month

How do you guys avoid getting banned? Google does not seem to revoke bans even for legit, big bloggers.

>> No.292789

>>292775

For what I understand so far:

You will get banned. Even if you don't trade.
If you're not in burgerclapistan or britbongistan, you can just make another account and another blog and keep earning money from adsense.
You can always turn to another alternative like adbrite or yahoo ads.

Like who?

>> No.292810

Yeah, but I think that you also have to keep your CTR low, like not above 4% so you don't get insta-banned.
I enjoy writing so I'm gonna try it, I'm not sure about how many blog posts should I have before joining the exchange groups, so I'm just gonna do one per day for a week.
Worst case scenario I'll waste a few hours that I was going to use for writing and sleeping anyways.

I just don't like that you can get banned so easily and that they deny appeals so quickly. He had enough people to generate a outcry after he was banned to get reinstated. What hope is there for the little guy?

Yeah.... you kinda did that to yourself.

Or are you saying you don;t know where that 500k traffic came from?

>> No.292963

i wanna know where that 500k traffic came from too.

i have a question though. say your blog is fairly unpopular and no one knows about it. then there's an upsurge of traffic due to a controversial post or something, literally going from 10 views per day to 100,000, and increasing your earnings. Would Google ban your adsense?

>> No.292966

>>292963
They can see where traffic is flowing from. If there is a large number of sites/news/blogs baclinking to the page then the traffic makes sense.

Well you're an idiot. Google is not going to undo your ban.

If you're using google ads, there is no reason to be using google analytics. You can check your traffic there. Not like it matters now though.

So I recently got my site up and running, but I am still not satisfied with its overall look. I am using one of those "meh" free wordpress themes. I thinking about switching to a premium wordpress theme, but I am still not too fond of the idea of spending 60$ with a theme. There is some risk in spending that money and especially when they almost never provide decent preview pics at themeforest.

So I has thinking about the following:
What could be the long term consequences of uploading and using an illegally downloaded theme?

What would happen if I was found out? Is it possible for the developers to "sniff" the web in search of websites using their themes without paying?

Could I "mask" my illegal usage of the theme by customizing it to the point of irrecognition?

One of the downsides of using an illegal theme is malicious code. Sometime theme spreaders put one of those base encode blocks. Sometimes they just put an unremovable link at the bottom. Sometimes their shit takes over your entire server. Once I had to spend a week to repair all the sites on my server due to a bad theme. From now on I only use themes shared on blackhatworld, where there are virustotal analysis provided, and a lot of users try it before I do.

But the chance of getting "found out" for using an illegal theme is slim to non-existant. And in the unlikely event that you do receive an angry email, just switch theme.
