After doing research on those Adsense videos, I decided to look back at how I’ve optimized my website to get some passive income. Really, I haven’t done as well as I’d hope for. I hear about people getting some 10-100 US dollars a day on Adsense. Abe of yugatech, for instance, was actually able to buy a car from blogging.

So for the heck of it, I tweaked my website a bit and found some nice Ad positions that gave me good clicks. From a average of 30 cents a day, it went up to at least a dollar daily just by doing one simple thing - putting an adsense block on top of the webpage, just below the blog title. Surprisingly, I was actually able to get US$5 on one day right after I did that.

I don’t cheat my Adsense links. I’ve chatted with someone on messenger who told me he was able to get around US$75 in 3 days. He inflated the income by clicking on the adsense links himself. Not surprisingly, Google banned his Adsense account. Somehow, Google seems to be able to determine this so I don’t dare risk it.

I found another ebook that was offered to tell us all the secrets of Google Adsense, written by a Joel Comm. I searched for some sites and I learned more about this Joel Comm guy. People who’ve read his ebook say that Adsense Veterans won’t learn anything new. The newbies, however, will definitely like it. I was intrigued at what the ebook contained. Fortunately, someone posted this interesting How To Make More Money On Adsense link.

Summing up the content on that link, the author says that Adsense income is a function of traffic, Clickthrough rate and the average value of click per link on that top. Practically, this just means:

• You must get many people to visit your site
• You get them to click more on your site
• Make sure your site gets high-paying Ads

How do you do it? Some suggestions include:

• Offer interesting content
• Offer high-value links/linkbaits
• Make sure Ads are easily seen
• Make sure most of outbound links are Ad links
• Research for High paying keywords and use them on your site

For a budding netrepreneur, this would involve:

1. Searching on Overture or Google Adwords for keywords with high possible payout.
2. Making 10 or more websites focusing on those keywords as part of the overall content
3. Putting Adsense links that blend well into the webpage

I haven’t done any of this yet myself. I’ll experiment on this on my free time. The hard part here is creating web site content. There are Online Tools that allow people to generate random content based on a set of word groups. The tools output is utter nonsense.

The question on my mind now is… “If I had US$2 a day per site, would I make US$20 if I had 10 websites?”
