Adsense and Longtail Traffic

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Adsense Check

Those who know me know that I’ve been building adsense scraper sites by the thousands and it worked pretty well back then. Site got indexed quick in google and traffic was good. I used to put ads above the fold and hide, or lower the text to get maximum ctr and adsense was bringing on average over $100 per 1000 visitors.

But these times have long gone. First google started banning new domains much faster, without giving them enough traffic and then Adsense closed few of my main accounts and on the recent one (about half a year ago) I wasn’t even paid the earnings for last month. They explained it simply by saying they didn’t like my business model, that is building sites for the sole purpose of sering ads. Oh well..

So I had to rebuild my whole adsense system into making good looking sites which will be within the tos, which caused the cpm to go down all the way down to just around $10-20 making the whole idea rather unprofitable.

I’ve tried many things with adsense since then, but in the end I gave it up. Building crappy adsense sites doesn’t pay anymore and if you’re still doing it you’re probably earning pennies. It sure was a good ride, but anything good comes to an end.

Targeted longtail traffic still pays off good in many niches, like ringtones, loans, gambling, dating etc if monetized with affiliate programs. While still being longtail it’s a different approach from what we did with adsense - trying to find the best keywords, with low competition, good traffic and decent clicks.

You can still make some $$ with adsense, but it can’t be scaled any more and not worth the effort.
So to all those doing adsense - are you making good money? No, then leave it! Same time and effort can be better applied in other areas ;)

Buy Soma

Soma
Soma is a muscle relaxer that works by blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain. It’s Generic Name is carisoprodol and it’s also known as Vanadom.

“buy soma” has an overture count of 1,245.2/day - about twice than that of buy viagra, and is one of the most profitable rx drugs.

Check out the buy soma serps in Google, first site is buysoma.org which is some basic html page with adsense.. Somebody please tell this guy he’s losing $1-2K/day by not putting an affiliate site, or at least a few affiliate links to buy soma, instead of the crappy adsense ads.

Btw if you want to make some easy cash set up a quick some shop site and then go to adwords and advertise on this site - you’re getting the most targeted traffic possible at a cheap price. Conversation rates should be pretty high ;)

An interesting observation is this page (site?) has barely 200 backlinks in yahoo and most are from other sites that scraped the soma serps. Does google give that much weight to good and aged domains? Apparently, and it makes sense too, since premium domains usually represent established and trusted sites. Which is another good reason to invest in domains.

So how do you rank for a highly competitive pharmacy keyword? There are two ways:

  1. Get a good domain like BuyUltram.net, build a site with all the basic on site seo, like h1 tags, strong and italic keywords, some related content, and add some good links. Then just wait 2-3 years and you should be in the serps.
  2. Find an established and trusted site that has an exploit allowing to stick a redirect, put up some keyword rich text and get lots of spammy links. You can always check buy phentermine to see a live example how it works.

Either you prefer the long term, or the short term black hat seo approach (and if you ask me - you should do both!) there is a lot of money to be made in the serps. Don’t pay attention to the large competition, have the right plan and carry it out consequently and you’ll be successful!
