How To Earn $100 Per Day With Google AdSense

As many of you know, building relationships in the internet marketing game is essential if you want to succeed. Over the last few months I have networked with many SEO’s and Internet Marketers and have even made some good friends.

One of these good friends that I met on a prominent marketing forum has shared his knowledge with me and we have even done a few joint ventures together.

Sam started internet marketing with Adsense back in 2008 and since then, it has been one of his main earners. I have had my fair share of success with Adsense in the past, but have since moved on to CPA as Adsense is commonly seen as the “poor man’s monetization”. However, it does not have to be!

I have noticed that many people struggle to earn even 5 dollars a day with Adsense when they put so much effort in. I know how frustrating this can be and I have decided to put all the knowledge that Sam has given me to make at least $100 every day from an Adsense site.

$100 A Day Adsense Steps

• Find a profitable Adsense niche
• Do indepth keyword research on that niche
• Get high quality content ready
• Make sure you have perfect on page SEO
• Start off page SEO

If you are part of any marketing forums, you will notice people trying to sell you small micro niche sites and will tell you about how much money you can make with them. Believe me when I say that you do not need 10 or 20 of these small sites to make any decent money. If you have one good niche with a solid blog on the subject, that is all you need!

NICHE RESEARCH

To get into a profitable Adsense niche, you are going to be looking for the following factors.

1. The niche has a high CPC (cost per click) for the keywords
2. The competition is low
3. The niche has many advertisers in Google Adwords
4. There are enough searches in Google.

Some of you may have the keyword/niche tools, but I know that a lot do not. To make sure that everyone can follow this guide, I am gong to use the Keyword Planner, which used to be the Google Keyword Tool.

I preferred the old tool, but the Keyword Planner will be good enough for this guide.

When we start looking for a niche, we need to find topics that generally are associated with high CPC.

Below are some topics that generally have a high CPC. Remember though, you should start a site that you have an interest in the topic. If you do not, you can get burned out and all the effort you put in initially will be for nothing. Just make sure you care about the topic and are not just going after it because it has a high CPC.

• Finance
• Legal
• Medical
• Travel
• Web Hosting
• Health
• Security
• Home Care
• Online Degrees
• Security

I am personally interested in Legal and Medical, probably because I may attend law school and my girlfriend wants to be a doctor. Remember, make sure your topic interests you.

I will be starting a case study in the next few weeks following this exact guide to bring a new site to $100 a day. If you want updates to this, please subscribe below.

Enter Your Name and Email Below and Click

 

Once you have selected a broad niche, head on over to http://ubersuggest.org/ or use the scrapebox keyword scraper to do some searches with keywords that are in the broad niche. You are looking for related keywords to the main topic. Save all the keywords that you find using this tool in a notepad list to use later.

THE NEXT STEP

1. Head over to http://www.dmoz.org/
2. Enter in the broad keyword term in the search box
3. Click on any category
4. You will now see a lot of niches that have some potential within your main term. You are finding a niche within a niche.
5. Write down every niche that you have an interest in.
6. Head on over to http://dir.yahoo.com/ and do the exact same thing

Once you have your niches noted down, you are going to want to follow one more step to grab some more niches/keywords within your main market term.

1. Go to Google and enter in your keyword + forum. “Medical + Forum” as an example.
2. Check out any forums that pop up and read through for more ideas of niches.

If you have followed all of the above steps, chances are that you have a lot of niche ideas written down on your notepad or document.

This means that it is time to use the Keyword Planner. Open that bad boy up and paste all the niche ideas you wrote down. Sort them by estimated CPC.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

•  Large searches per month
• High CPC
• Not a seasonal keyword. You want there to be searches for the keyword year round

Make sure you put your keywords in brackets [keyword]. This will give you results that are accurate for the searches a month for that keyword.

Go through the list and pick out around 10 keywords that have a high CPC as well as a good amount of searches each and every month. Once you have those keyword chosen, you need to take a look at the competition.

To look at the competition, go to Google and type your keyword phrase in with quotations such as this: “keyword”. Check out how many results are returned. If you see less than 500-800k results returned,  then this might be a good keyword to tackle.Check Out The Top 10

1. How many sites on the first page have the exact keyword in their title and URL?
2. How old is each site?
3. What Page Rank is each site?
4. How many backlinks does each site have?

Just as a guide, these are generally good niches to go for:

• 2 sites in the top 10 do not have the exact keyword in their title
• 2 domains are not 2 years old yet
• 3 sites in the top 10 have a page rank under 4

This is just a rule of thumb. You can of course alter this as you see fit, but this is what I like to use.

To check the above metrics, have a look at this free tool: http://www.seoquake.com/

To check out the backlinks, I recommend going with Ahrefs. It is the best backlink checking tool I have used.

MY CHOSEN KEYWORD

• Has a CPC of $1.28
• Has 110,000 exact searches
• It is not a seasonal keyword
• Competition is a few million in Google

As you can see, I do not always go by the rules above. It has a lot more than 800k searches, but after taking a look at the top 10 sites, I am pretty sure I can beat them, and the amount of searches make it worth it. This is the main keyword I will be using in my case study following this guide.

QUICK TIPS

When you see in the Keyword Planner that a keyword is “low” competition, this is NOT SEO competition. It means that there are not very many advertisers bidding on that keyword.

You should generally stay away from keywords with low advertising competition because this means that many of your ads will not be related thus affecting your click through rate.

Finally, take a look at http://www.spyfu.com to see just how many advertisers are bidding on your keyword.

DOMAIN AND WORDPRESS THEME

When you pick out your domain name, it is generally a good idea to have your main keyword in the domain name as well as a prefix. Something such as “best” works good at a prefix. An example of this would be “best*********.com”.

When I pick out domain names, I only go for top TLDs such as .com, .org, and .net.

Once you get your domain name picked out buy it and install WordPress on it. Then proceed to pick out a theme that is not cluttered and has a white background with simple black text. You do not want there to be any distracting graphics. Remember, the entire point of this site is to get them to click on Adsense ads, not look at a pretty theme.

If you are looking for some common words to add to your domain name, have a look at the lists below.

HOW MANY ARTICLES NEEDED TO REACH $100 A DAY

Many people often ask how many articles or keywords you will need to reach the desired outcome of $100 a day. Let’s break it down with some simple math to get some estimates.

Lets assume that the average per click is going to be around $0.50. This could be a lot more or it could be less. It really depends.

This means to reach $100 it would be 100/.5 which equates to about 200 clicks a day to get one hundred dollars.

I always like to set my sites high so I will target a CTR (click through rate) of 10% meaning that I will need 200 X 10, or 2000 visitors a day to get to 100 dollars a day through Adsense.

We now have a rough estimate of how many visitors we need to get on a website before we can reach the goal!

I estimate that I need around 80-100 articles to reach $100. If we go with 80 articles we need about 25 visitors each day to each page. This can be achieved and is not that many visitors per page if you really think about it. Content can always be added at a later date if you are not hitting the target.

DEEPER NICHE ANALYSIS

We have already done some niche research to find keywords, but it is time to go deeper! We need to find everything possible about the niche that you have chosen.

We first went to Google and searched for our niche + forums. You looked through posts to find sub niches within your niche. If you see any debates or arguments, write these down on a notepad.

The next thing you will probably want to take a look at is Yahoo answers and search for different questions within your niche. See what kind of things people are asking, this is something you want to remember. Note these frequent questions in your notepad.

Check out Ebay and Amazon for some of the best selling books or products that might be in your niche. This is the type of information people are paying for, so note down anything relevant in your notepad because you will want to give them this information for free. Make sure to take a look at the reviews of each book and note what people liked and did not like.

After you have done this, you should be getting some good information in your notepad.

Head on over to Technorati and do some searches for your niche. This will bring up related blogs. Go through their sites and look for posts that are interesting or ones that have lots of comments. Make sure to take note of the structure of these sites and topics that people are finding useful. Note down everything useful in your notepad.

Spend a good amount of time on this step. It may seem very easy and straightforward, which it is, but remember, a good Adsense site is going to offer the visitor a lot of quality.

Adding quality to visitors is your sure ticket to ensure you hit your goals. No one is going to stay on a site or even click an add if your information is garbage or they have problems navigating the website.

KEYWORD RESEARCH

If you have not done so, check out my previous article on this topic here.

The entire point of this section is to find the best keywords for the articles and categories that you will add to your Adsense site.

The previous step we figured out some problems and questions in the niche that has been chosen.

You will want to take a look at the notepad where you did your deep niche analysis and try to turn the questions and problems into some of the best keywords.

Example: Lets say that you chose the niche of web hosting when you did your deep niche analysis.

You went into some forums and checked out yahoo answers and found a question come up over and over again which was “What is the best web hosting?” or “Can someone tell me the best cheap web hosting”.

Just from the questions above, we already have some good keywords:

• Best web hosting
• Cheap web hosting

Just go through questions and find different keywords that come up often as well as find out different problems you found and turn these into keywords. You want to keep your keywords short. 2 or 3 words each is a good way to keep keywords short. Make sure that they are a bit broad because later we will find different long tail keywords.

Once you have a seed list of keywords, you will have to head on over to the Keyword Planner and plug them in to find some other good keywords. Also notice the number of searches for each keyword.
