Don, where did you get "good" keywords from? Did you simply used awstats (or whatever tool used by hosting provider to monitor traffic and keywords of your sites) and then selected keywords which were used most often to find your page via search engines? Or did you use some Google tool to gather highest-priced words?
Hi Thomas -
No I don't use awstats, at all. Once I create the sites - I forget about them.
I may check they are online, or check their positions, but that is it. I find checking stuff is a waste of time (for me!) - and I base that remark on the fact that adsenseboy has done a good job with the software, so it works and does what it says on the tin - as the saying goes.
Also, as you know, I am not technical, so I pay the $4.95/month/module automation fee, so all the technical stuff is done for me.
It would take me a long time to sort that stuff out so I gladly pay for those services. As I say I don't monitor anything.
The only thing I check is what is on show in my google account. This is where I see my ctr and all the usual stuff related to adsense for the day, month and so on.
I do use other sites keywords - but not all the time.
These are basic so called "tricks" that seem to have been forgotten since there is so much software available.
I remember why I came to AWB in the first place... because of all the **** "out there" that promises a fortune and upsells, downsells and offers this, that and the other ... you know the drill.
Until my last 3 sites I never used any software except for this:
https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_STATS#search.none I have read on th forum of others who do not recommend google and they have their reasons, which I respect.
However - it works for me... and this is what I do.
I grab keywords from the top sites in my niche at least the top 5 sites and preferably all of them on page 1.
I enter these into notepad.
Then I enter them into Google, (above link), but only 1 at a time.
This can be really boring!
Once you enter the first one into Google, activate the cost per click column. (it then stays with you for your other searches).
The reason I only enter 1 kw at a time is because I get the maximum returns.
I do not sign into Google to get a larger return - I don't like thinking I am being watched. Anyway I gather the best keywords in order of amount cost per click.
Here you can use your fantasy and determine how you will use these kw's.
By that I mean... if you have at least 50 good kw's (awb recommends a minimum 50 keywords per category), then you have a category. Just export them from google and use them.
But I am not really sure what happens if I have 50 keywords in 1 category, and say between 900 and 2,000 in other categories, and my 50 kw's get used.
So what I do is... I create lots of kw lists in this manner.
I them insert them into Excel - delete duplicates - and create a larger category.
I call the category something like:
- Best German Shepherd Breeders
- Most Wanted Audis
- Best Queries for Your Clothes
- Most Searched For HotDogs
I think that gives you an idea of what I do.
Okay - software... I see MNF is back up and running so I will use that too, but I will still use it with the facility above.
It's easy *lol* But it is tedious and it takes some time, but
it works.
My adsense has been over $5 a day now for over a week. This is also due to the fact that more of my sites are slowly getting indexed.
There you have it Thomas. You were in the right area with your questions, so I know you can do this too, if you want to.
For members who cannot afford a lot of software, I would suggest using this method and re-invest any revenue into adsenseboy's products.
If anyone had told me 62 days ago that I would make so much per day I'd have called them a liar!
There is another way to use keywords but I want to check it out first.
Man - this is a book! I hope I answered everything and covered it all well enough.
For other keywords I grab them as recommended in the awb training.
I have tried "Time Wheel" or whatever it's called, but the suggestions there still need to be checked and it just makes the task more tedious.
If not - you know where I am
Best wishes.
