Spent Some Time Away From The Computer Today

I went out and looked at homes today. My wife and I are looking into investing in real estate. We own our home but, we are both earning more than we were a year ago, by a good amount. We can afford a bigger home. We want to buy a bigger home and rent our current one out. We just started looking into it today. Enough about that though. It doesn't have much to do with my internet business.

My AdSense income went way down so far today. I don't understand why it was so good 2 days ago and I can't get more than 2 clicks a day for these last two days. The upside is that I didn't pay anything for those clicks. I also think that one of my articles getting published on ezine articles and being listed on their first page helped. I will continue to submit articles throughout the week and I suspect that as I get more of those articles approved and on high ranking websites, my linking will help my page rank and hopefully my search engine rankings.

One more thought I have been having is to go back to some of the stuff I learned from the Keyword Elite training videos. They talked about taking the keywords that are searched on Google but have no results and creating content for that phrase. Doing that coupled with getting links to other pages on your website will help your pages get high search engine rankings for more keywords and that translates into more traffic. I will add that to my things to do for this next week.

The way I understand from my reading on getting ranked by the search engines is that a site with a high page rank means that the search engine spiders crawl that site often. They also follow the links from that site. That means that your site will get noticed from the search engines if you have a link to your site from a high page ranked website. Once at your site the spider will follow your links and classify your site and its relevency.

If your site has pages on it that have keywords and phrases that other sites do not then you will get a number one listing for those keyword phrases. So, if you use the content generator from IContent Robot to create a webpage and some articles to promote that page, and then add more content to the website that the page you are promoting belongs to, and link all the pages on the website to each other, you will get the robots to spider your page and rank you in the search engines.

Every number one position you can get your site means that you will get the majority of the traffic that searches for that term. It may be that you only get 50 visitors per month, but you will have hundreds of those types of words that you are number one for and 50 time 100 equals 5,000 visitors. Multiply that by an average of saay 10 cents per visitor and you get $500. Not too bad since these income streams keep going and since there are so many terms that are available to do this for you you can keep finding more and more ideas.

So, the idea of using the content generating software to create an unlimited supply of original quality content that you can use to advertise your site, and the ability of Keyword Elite to help you find low competition keyword phrases and relevent content pages you have a simple way to keep generating new income streams.

Now that I have this idea and plan on using it I will be back to let you know if it is all just another one of those pipe dreams or if it is the real Mccoy! Some goals for tomorrow:

  1. Submit an article to 10 more article directories
  2. Research more of the niches I have articles for
  3. create content for low competition keywords
  4. Email my list their Keyword Lists & Articles
  5. go to the gym!

I now have most of the directories in Article Submitter set up so I have to enter the information for my article once and start submitting it. I am going to go back to some of the original articles I created, while I was just getting the article directories set up, and change the body of the article and submit it to more of the directories. One more thing I need to check on is if the directories are the same or not on SEO Elite and Article submitter. If not, I need to add the directories that I am missing from The Article Submitter Software.

One other project, that I am getting ahead of myself with, is an ebook that I will be giving away with my affiliate links embedded in it, all about how to use the article marketing method along with the keyword method to make AdSense money. That's all for today, tomorrow I will bring good news, I can feel it!

Hi Gilbert,

I was spending way to much time on article submitting by hand, and with "automated" software that always seemed to cause more work then if I had done the submitting by hand to begin with. Not sure what you have tried - but I've had very good results with the free submission service provided at Article Marketer. Worth a look :)

I have tried their service and I like them too. Like you I've had some troubles with submitting by hand and with the automated submitters. I found that once I went through and submitted my information to the article sites it got easier. The software I use is called article submitter and can be downloaded for free from http://gilbsy76.bryxen7.hop.clickbank.net. It is an affiliate link but the software is free. There is an upgrade but I didn't get it. I have just started seriously using the software and I can submit my article to about 10 directories in about 5 minutes. I really like it.

Call me lazy but I started using the ghost writing services offered with ArticleMarketer too. I can tell them my basic topic and any thing I want to make sure is covered and I go back to life and they handle the writing and submission completely.

I guess I rather be off reading articles then writing them!

I tried article submitter a year or so ago. I have heard it's changed for the better since then.

It's a hard decision to make. Pay someone to save you time as with ArticleMarketer or spend your time and have full control over the distribution. Somewhere inbetween lies the software products that (sometimes) help save time, but also cost money.

Some days it might just be worth it to flip a coin!

I haven't tried ghostwriters yet. Have you had profitable results from their services? I am trying to do it myself for now until I can generate income on my own accord and then automate things after I know that what I am doing is working. I am still working a day job and making good money. I am just limited on the amount I can make by working for someone else and I don't like that. I don't want to spend more hours working for someone else when I can work hard for myself and the income I earn is due to my efforts and all mine!

I am curious about having someone else write for me. Do you have a website that you are promoting with ghost written articles? Can you give me a website address that I can look at and see the quality you get from these writers?

Thank-you for commenting on my blog, I appreciate it and I wish you well!
