Bankruptcy to Millionaire

Ok… so I didn’t do much SEO. But I did want to try an experiement.

I’ve never went for the “natural” traffic route for the blog. I used social networking, like SU, EC, EIEIO, and other acornyms.

But I never chose a keyword for a post, and tried to rank for it. Yesterday was my first attempt at that, I posted a blog about Stumbleupon DoFollow . One of my main intents for the entire post was to see if I could get that post listed in google for the search term “Stumbleupon DoFollow”. Sure enough, I look today, and I’m position 1.

It even sent 4 visitors to my blog today alone. A massive success. Not at all. It’s not my intention to grow this blog to epic preportions at the moment. I’m just using it to figure out exactly how to get ranked for a chosen term. And I’m learning a little more everyday.

I have a couple more tricks up my sleeve that I want to try soon with SEO to my affiliate programs that will actually make money.

Until then, I’m going to keep link building, keep testing and keep trying. Lets see what happens.

Maybe if I start getting enough natural search traffic, I’ll place a little adsense on this blog strickly for search traffic. Grizz says he’s making $100 a day from his blogger blog on make money online. If I can get 1/10th of Grizz’s search traffic and adsense revenue. I would be a very happy man.

Also note: This blog no features DoFollow comments. Please feel free to use any anchor text you desire. Just contribute something damnit. Don’t spam me, or I will hunt you down and turn off your modem.

Can you actually utilize Entrecard to increase your adsense revenue and overall CTR of your ads?

YES! Let me share with you a very profitable secret you can implement TODAY to increase your overall income on your blog.

I’ve made an interesting discovery that I thought I’d share with all of you.

It’s a very simple way to increase your Adsense revenue using Entrecard users. I’ve increased my Adsense CTR to over 1% on my adsense ads on this blog on my Entrecard Channel.

How can this possibly be done?

It’s quite simple really. I’ve placed a 125×125 text ad button just bellow the “drop yours” button on my Entrecard unit. Because this blog is listed under the “Make Money Online” section of Entrecard, and the ads are usually of “make money online” nature. These ads are appealing to the Entrecard Droppers.

ALSO

Because of Link Droppers (the people the click from one Entrecard to the other top drop their cards) nature to be clicking mindlessly across dozens if not hundreds of blogs in a row, I probably get the accidental click here and there because it’s so near the “drop yours” button.

I’m very happy with the success of this adsense implementation. If you’re an Entrecarder, I suggest you test this out and see if your results are the same.

For those that don’t know. Google bought Youtube for $1.65 BILLION, some time ago.

Now they come together in perfect Adsense harmony. You can now place YouTube videos on your site embedded with adsense ads. Making your ads not only more visable, but more entertaining (or educational if you prefer).

In your adsense profile there are a number a customizable player options, including the size, color, and types or and/or specific videos played in the player. It’s a revolutionary step. That I love. And you should to if you’re trying to make some extra cents with Adsense.
