This post is about a product called the Micro Niche Adsense Course which I stumbled upon after reading a great post on the Warrior Forum.

The post is written by John, who took some time away from all the usual distractions to focus on a very simple, low cost business model.

As a result of some pretty determined effort, he now claims to make $300/day from Adense. That’s a pretty good result in a 6 month period.

I’ve listed the entire post below, along with a link to the original thread in the Warrior forum. The thread was 32 pages long when I last checked and is full of really useful information for anyone looking at niche marketing, irrespective of your experience. Read the rest of this entry

The change to the Adsense privacy policy in latest Google TOS is the item which requires action from the largest number of Adsense publishers.

If you are an Adsense publisher, you would have recently been advised of Google’s updates terms of service for Adsense. There is an excellent description of the wider changes on Jim Karter’s site.

While most of the changes are more ‘for your information’ there is one which has required some action from us and I’m guessing a lot of other publishers.

Earlier this month Google announced another enhancement to their Adsense program. Its called targetable custom channels.

It works a bit like this:

• Each Google Adsense ad-block can be allocated to one or more “channels”. These are used to track the performance (including earnings) for the ad-block.
• This allows the publisher to experiment with colour, placement and Ad type to determine which combination works best for each site.
• Usually Ads are allocated to random Ad-Blocks by Google.
• Now, with targetable custom channels, advertisers can choose to locate their ads within a specified location on a publishers site.

There is a bit of debate about when and if this offering will be effective.

Sometimes unrelated Adsense ads are shown on your newly prepared web-page. Unrelated ads don’t quite look right and more importantly, are likely to have a lower conversion ratio , leading to lower profits for your home business.

Here are a few tips to help improve the Adsense targeting on web pages:

• Page Title – Ensure your most important keyword is included in your page title.
• Post Title – Same again, your most important keyword should be included.
• Meta Keywords/Description – Probably less important. Its good practice to include some of your keywords in your Meta Description as well as the obvious list in the Meta Keywords.

If you want to make your website a success then read on……

I bet you haven’t heard of Randy Brown. I hadn’t until I stumbled across a short advertisement in the Digital Point forums. The advertisement was for an ebook called “What I did to make a successful website in only a few months”. Since the price was only $10, I decided to buy it.

The 16 page report arrived instantly. It was pretty simple. Sixteen pages of typed notes, no illustrations and no marketing hype. To drive home the point, the sub-heading on the first page reads as follows : “No promises, no guarantees, nothing to buy – just a simple list of things that I did that I think made my site successful”

Turns out Randy is a 39 year old It department manager who managed to take his start-up website from zero to $3500 per month. This in only 12 months. He decided to sell his story to make a little extra cash.
