"Adsense Kung Fu: How You Can Spy And Copy What's Working Now And Bank More Adsense Dollars"
Here's the blueprint to getting past all the $0.05 and $0.02 clicks that Google has been slapping on all your MFA junkies:
- Find pages that are getting a high CPC for certain keywords
- Do a little spying on the site and page
- Copy what they're doing
1-2-3. It really is that easy. The days of people paying $0.01 in the content network for clicks is gone in the competitive markets like Debt, Diet, and Money.
Hell, we're paying $2.21/click on a placement right now. The site is getting 5000 uniques a day or so I think. So if they get a 10% CTR on the adsense ad that is 500 clicks at around $1 EPC. FROM ONE PAGE.
Let's break it down:
Find Pages That Are Getting A
High CPC For Certain Keywords
1A - Use the Google Traffic Estimator to get a feel for the CPC of that keyword.
1B - Use the Google Keyword tool to get some feel on the search volume.
1C - Use a tool like Site Sniper Pro to find adsense pages that are ranking in the top 20 for main keywords.
ALTERNATIVE 1C - Use the Google Placement tool to recommend sites related to your keyword. Find a relevant page on that site.
You're looking for something that is twice as big as what you want to make per click in EPC. So if you want $1 a click EPC in Adsense find a keyword @ $2 CPC in Adwords.
Spy On The Site And The Page
2A - Use SEO Elite to get the internal links to that page. If you're going site-wide with the placement SEO elite the homepage of the site.
2B - Google Goggle the page. That page needs to be a good landing page. If it isn't go back to step 1 and find another page.
Here's what you know from all this:
The link popularity and link reputation of the inbound links. The age of the site and the character of the links coming in.
You also know that the page you picked is considered "good" by Google. So the Adwords CPC will be "low".
One last step here...
2C - Take out a placement ad on that page/site. Bid what the Traffic Estimator told you the search network is getting. Set a low stop loss. You only need a few clicks.
NOTE: You can play around a bit here if you have the cashflow and see how far you can driving down your CPC and get max traffic.
Don't sweat the ad either. Copy what the #1 ad is on that page now. Literally. Just outbid the fucker. Or write a better one.
