AdSense Desperation in 2008
599 words | Last Updated: December 27, 2007 |
Do you sense a shift in the wind? People are experiencing a downward movement in their AdSense earnings, and they don't know why their clickthrough rates, earnings per click, and earnings per thousand impressions are all dropping, even while their traffic is increasing. They try and tweak their web pages, and just end up moping in a state of AdSense desperation in 2008.
You can simply do the math.
In various places online, you'll find people selling instant AdSense sites. Some of these offers come in bundles of 150 web sites covering topics such as:
Acne, Advertising, Aerobics Cardio, Affiliate Revenue, Alternative, Attraction, Auctions, Audio Streaming, Aviation, Babies Toddler, Beauty, Blogging Rss, Book Marketing, Book Reviews, Branding, Breast Cancer, Broadband Internet, Build Muscle, Careers Employment, Casino Gambling, Coaching, Coffee, College University, Cooking Tips, Copywriting, Crafts Hobbies, Creativity, Credit, Cruising Sailing, Currency Trading, Customer Service, Data Recovery, Dating, Debt Consolidation, Debt Relief, Depression, Diabetes, Divorce, Domain Names, E Books, Ecommerce, Elder Care, Email Marketing, Entrepreneurialism, Ethics, Exercise, Ezine Marketing, Ezine Publishing, Fashion Style, Fishing, Fitness Equipment, Forums, Games, Goal Setting, Golf, Grief Loss, Hair Loss, Happiness, Hardware, Holidays, Home Improvement, Home Security, Humanities, Humor, Innovation, Inspirational, Insurance, Interior Decorating, Internet Marketing, Investing, Landscaping Gardening, Language, Leadership, Leases Leasing, Loans, Lung Mesothelioma Asbestos, Management, Marketing, Marriage Wedding, Martial Arts, Medicine, Meditation, Mobile Cell Phone, Mortgage Refinance, Motivation, Motorcycles, Music, Negotiation, Network Marketing, Networking, Nutrition, Organizing, Outdoors, Parenting, Personal Finance, Personal Tech, Pets, Philosophy, Photography, Poetry, Politics, Positive Attitude, PPC Advertising, PR, Pregnancy, Presentation, Psychology, Public Speaking, Real Estate, Recipes, Relationships, Religion, Sales, Sales Management, Sales Teleselling, Sales Training, Satellite Tv, Science, Security, SEO, Sexuality, Site Promotion, Small Business, Software, Spam Blocker, Spirituality, Stocks Mutual Funds, Strategic Planning, Stress Management, Structured Settlements, Success, Supplements, Taxes, Team Building, Time Management, Top7 Or 10 Tips, Traffic Building, Vacation Rentals, Video Conferencing, Video Streaming, VOIP, Wealth Building, Web Design, Web Development, Web Hosting, Weight Loss, Wine Spirits, Writing, Writing Articles, and Yoga.
And each instant site contains anywhere from 30 to 996 articles. And you can get the whole package for only $99.95 today.
Imagine that. Just $1.50 per web site. Are they implying that their sites couldn't even earn $2 from AdSense?
Far from it.
My guess is they have, or are currently earning, from those sites. Now they're giving others the opportunity to take those same articles, and try and earn online.
What they don't tell you is that you'll need to find a way to drive traffic to your insta-sites. And since not all of those topics will make money, it will probably take you 8 months before you break-even.
If you have the traffic, that is.
So, what strategy can you use to capitalize on the AdSense desperation of others? Look at their list of niche topics, see which ones you (or your team) can write about, and publish unique, useful, and original content.
Yes, it will take some time. Please keep your day job.
Or if you still don't have a job, use a professional resume writing service and start getting that job interview today.
How can you produce content if you have a regular job? You can write on weekends. And if that's too slow for you, you can outsource the writing (or rewriting of PLR content).
The main key is to produce new articles, and to have fun in the process. This will help you avoid burnout, especially when you discover that people who are largely reliant on AdSense in 2008 will have to write three times as much as they did in 2007.

It's quite sad to see people buying these "pre-made sites." You can't make money from these sites - period. As you've said above, the secret is useful and unique content. If those who failed at making money online (99 percent of people) put their time into legitamate activities (developing unique content, link building), they would've started seeing results.
