What Deals May Come

While I am hardly a marketing or SEO guru, I have distilled all that I have learned these past 2 months to a simple formula:

(Domains * x) * Traffic = $$$

Build as many sites as you can, drive traffic to the sites and the Adsense revenue will come.

Yep… It’s that simple. Easy, however, is another story.

The fact is, making money from adsense is not a get-rich-quickly scheme. It’s a real business that requires an investment of your time, effort, and money. Thankfully though, the money required is ridiculously low. There is virtually no other business that can return so much money as quickly with an investment of less than $1,000.00

In the past week, I have completed researching my 10 markets and added another 2. I’ve compiled all the keywords for every market and ready to build out the sites. In total, I have about 81 sites to complete.

I haven’t been able to start because my Domain Registrar hasn’t completed the processing of the domains yet.

On the plus side, despite doing very little to get my existing sites indexed and build traffic, I am starting to get some adsense revenue trickling in. I actually made my first $1.42 this past week. Not that excited yet though. I’ll reserve that till I get my first check from google.

So, not barring any unforseen circumstances, all the sites I plan to build for the first adsense system I’m using should be complete by Wednesday. After that, I will spend the rest of the week getting the search engines to visit my sites.

By next week, I will be experimenting with another 100 sites using another adsense system.

A lot has happened since last week.

I’ve had to make a couple of course corrections with my work so I don’t get overwhelmed with the volume of information I have been trying to absorbed since I started this.

Let me explain.

From my research on adsense, I have come across 4 separate systems which have their own strengths and strategies. I had been spreading my time and effort trying to implement all 4 systems at the same time and playing around with the idea of blending the different systems together, but I’ve found myself getting lost and distracted jumping from one system to another. I’ve since realize that was a big mistake on my part.

First, I’m not that experienced yet to know what I’m doing. Secondly, I have yet to completely implement any one system to fully evaluate their effectiveness. And thirdly, jumping around from one system to the next has slowed my productivity as I delay one system’s progress so I can bring the other system up to speed.

So, I’ve decided focus in on each system exclusively, completing each process from the keyword research, site building and marketing before moving on to the next system. I will then evaluate each system after 30 days and post my findings here.

The first system involves building about 100 sites focusing on 10 markets and implementing a mini-net strategy to increase relevancy and ranking in he search engines.

To date, I have established 6 markets and about 23 sites already. My goal is to pinpoint 4 more markets and build out the rest of the sites within the next 10 days.

The tools I am using are:

1. A proprietary server-based software to build out the sites.
2. Good Keywords, Overture and Google keyword tools for my keyword research.
3. www.Pair.com for my hosting.

Once all the sites are completed and indexed, I will move on to the next system. After 30 days, I will compare each systems’ revenue and conversion.

Unfortunately, I have been a little lax in my blog postings, but I will try to rectify that starting today.
