Alternatives with Adsense

Its never good to have all your eggs in one basket and I am always on the lookout for quality alternatives to Google Adsense, but I have to admit I struggle to find anything that converts even closely.

While seaching through some forums I found a like to a site that has a MASSIVE list of possible alternatives, some I had never even heard of before.

Definitely some on the list I will be trialling on a few of my sites.

I would be interested to hear which of these you have used and whether simply they were successful or not.

For me I have recently experimented with Bidvertiser however found it hard to get related ads to the site I had them on, however the cost per click was not to bad.

A while ago I tried Adbrite, and had no luck at all.

Are there any from this list that you are using? (more than 30 alternatives on the list!)

Make Money Fast with Google Adsense

Out of all the programs that I have tried there is one program that has consistently earned me a small but steady (and increasing) amount of money and that is Google AdSense. Once you have a site that is earning more than its hosting fees you can simply create another one and another one. Before you know it you have a number of sites earning money and you can then experiment with Ad placement as well as the look and different types of adverts and see what converts the best for you.

Less is sometimes more
If you fill your entire site up with Google AdSense then you are probably going to far. You need to leave some room for content - my largest earning site has one skyscraper on the left and a small link block on the right. The sidebar skyscraper has the best conversion on that site however didn't do well at all on this blog. So different sites have different results- it doesn't really matter what anyone says you need to experiment. I suggest you create channels for the ad units, try a placement for a month and check your results. Then try something else for the next month - if its better great keep it. If not revert back to the previous or try something else again.

Potential Exponential Increase
The great thing about Google AdSense is that by increasing your traffic you can normally increase your earnings in a similar manner. Think about what you earn now and multiply it by 10 - certainly achievable and what about if you multiply that by 10. Before you know it as long as you can continue to increase your traffic you are going to be giving yourself constant pay rises - something no employer is going to do for you!

Passive?
Is Google AdSense really passive? Well probably not as you do need to work away at building and maintaining the traffic to your site however if you have a website that grows by itself (e.g a popular forum or similar) then Google AdSense could potentially grow without any effort from yourself. It can earn you money while you sleep though which is a great start.

Money in the Bank
At today's approximate US interest rates I worked out how much money in the bank it would take to earn as much as a scale of monthly Google AdSense amounts. Please refer to the table below.

Its interesting to see that to make $50 per month with money in the bank would take savings of 12000 dollars if we were looking at a 5% interest rate. To make $80 per month would take a whopping $20000! Its probably a lot easier to make a couple of websites and fill them with good content than it is to save twenty grand, however I will leave that up to you to decide for yourself.

Improving Your Google AdSense Earnings - AdsBlackList

This is another addition to the Bloggers Toolkit Series

To improve the quality of the Google AdSense Adverts that you are displaying on your Blog or Site, there is a website that you can register with that will automatically generate a list of low paying advertisers to filter out (relevant to the content of your site).

The site is called Ads Black List and is very user friendly. It is just a matter of registering, logging in and providing the URL of your main site. It automatically picks up the title and key words from your site and once this is done you can easily generate a list of URLs that you will be able to filter from withing your Google AdSense set up.

To set up this filtering within AdSense log in to your account. Click on AdSense Setup, then competitive Ad filter and simply paste in the 200 or so URL’s that have been generated for you.
You may be wondering what Google think of all this, and so was I when I initially investigated it. The fact is Google have no problems with you using the competitive ad filter - you are allowed to filter your adverts.

Most of the sites end up being filtered out because they are MFA’s (Made for AdSense) with little or no content. An MFA hopes by paying a low amount per click they can lure an unsuspecting visitor to their site, then hopefully collect a high amount on an outgoing click. Not the best way to build a reputable Online Empire in our book.

Good luck with the Black List!

Ads that make you go Whaaatt???

I was on one of my Blogs today - it is one where I normally have Google AdSense Link units underneath the header however today they looked like this.....





Have you ever seen this before and why on earth would anyone want to??? Is this some kind of new AdSense search box? What the heck is up with that piddly little button?

Google AdSense Link Units - hopefully adding to exponential growth!

After a suggestion from one of my fellow "like minded" bloggers LFC Fan I have decided to add some Google AdSense Link Units to this site, Link units are a bit different to the normal AdSense adverts in the way that they display a list of topics that are relevant to your page.

It is important that in staying in line with Googles TOS you only place one link unit per content page.

February is a short month, it was going to be hard to meet my required targets this month on passive income alone, hence the additional paid posts that you may have recently seen.

You may remember back in October we began our exponential growth experiment, the article was Exponential growth with your Website Profits and February is month 5 of this (Octobers online earnings were the beginning for us).

In this exponential growth experiment money from all of my online sources is being calculated and I am pleased to say that this month we are on target to more than double what was achieved in October. The majority of the income growth is also passive which is very pleasing and makes for very exciting times ahead.

I will post a full report of the figures of this at the end of February with a month by month breakdown of targets, achievements plus a look ahead at the next 5 months. Remember it is not to hard to increase your earnings by a mere 20% on what you did the previous month. Keep this up and you will soon be making very good money indeed. It actually creeps up on a you a bit and it is only when you look back that you see what great improvements have actually been made.

The attitude that I have about this is simply failure is not an option. I will do whatever it takes to make an extra 20 percent a month - if that means some months staying awake all night and writing sponsored posts to make up the difference then that is what has to be done. If it means creating more sites than what I already have then that's what I will do. I would prefer however to continue maximising the income from the sites that I already have - as time does become an issue. (especially with a young family, and a full time job!)

I am experimenting with Google AdWords on one of my sites at the moment and have found some interesting results happening with this - more details to come in a future post.

FriendFinder, and Amazon yet to deliver results in the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

You may have noticed a change in scenery around the outskirts of this Blog, specifically I placed a FriendFinders aff: advert on the site, plus have been experimenting with a couple of Amazon Adverts. The results have been quite disappointing.

Neither FriendFinder nor Amazon have returned a cent, this is a bummer really because I am trying to not be so reliant on AdSense, however it is becoming the Bread and Butter of most of my sites and nothing I have found seems to be able to better it to date. I would be very interested in your story about some product you have found and monetized on your site that has outperformed Google AdSense (and does not require active participation!)

PayPerPost have still not reviewed my Pending Posts 9 and 7 days after I submitted them, I wonder if they wait 30 days before accepting them? And will I then have to wait another 30 days to be paid? I am wanting to add the totals to my figures, however I never add anything until it has been approved.

Loudlaunch paid me today for the one post I did while checking out their site a while back, I have logged back in a few times, however all their offers are $5 or $3 which is not really enough I dont think. It is important to put some kind of value on what your time is worth when you are working on stuff that is nothing more than an exchange of time for money. I might as well log in to PayPerPost and do a similar sized Post and get paid twice as much, or even better spend the time writing an article that might be useful to someone!

The Z-List has been working well, and has boosted us up the Technorati Rankings. It will be interesting to see how far it goes.

Funny side effect of Blogging... I have noticed that now when I do a spell check there are hardly any spelling mistakes, however when I started 6 or 7 months ago - there were spelling mistakes aplenty. Has Blogging made you a better speller?

Look out for the 12o Day Summary - Coming soon.

110 Day Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

Another 10 days comes to a close, and a month comes to an end. As you may know from previous posts recently we had a large change of focus and began spending 90 percent of our time trying to build passive type income, the other 10 percent of our time can be used for things like Sponsored posts or other "quick fix" income earners. The results have been better than expected and here's why..

Passive Income
Unfortunately this site does not earn a lot in the way of AdSense, however other sites that I own do quite a lot better. All up my AdSense income has increased by 28% over the last month! This can be attributed to a reasonable growth in traffic which has been brought about by constant promotion and advertising. We are very keen to continue following this model of growth.

Traffic
The growth in traffic has been pretty damn good, see below the graph from my sitemeter, it would be hard to get the climb much steeper than this. I put the growth down to regular posting which is creating a lot of content that is being well picked up by Google. I also have a network of great referrals from fellow bloggers with like minded sites. Please take the time to visit them from the links to the right.


PayPerPosts
A couple of these were done at the beginning of the month, also I have just joined payperpost and reviewme. I will be looking at doing a full review of payperpost in the next week or so, so you might see a couple more sponsored posts, which coincidentally pay quite reasonably. Full details will be in the upcoming review.

Summary

(NZ $)

Google AdSense Total $31.01
Money4Blogs Total $29.41
Blogsvertise Total $22.06
Blogitive Total $110.29
LoudLaunch Total $7.35
MYLOT Total $14.24
SportsGambling Total -$10.10
Beer tasting Total $30.00

Grand Total US$ 159.30 or NZ$ 234.27

Increase over the last summary (100 Day Summary) in NZ Dollars: $10.09

Time for a change

I have come to the conclusion that for this particular site, Google AdSense is not extracting the maximum value out of the space it is taking on my site. One of the reasons is I believe that the audience of this site are to web savvy to think that a Google advert is anything other than a Google Advert. I really need to find products that appeal more to the sites visitors.

I will continue to use AdSense on this site, however are going to cut down on the amount and try out some other forms of advertising - this may include books on Blogging,Blogging software and other things that directly relate to the kind of readers I am likely to get.

Naturally I will be reporting on how successful or unsuccessful these things are. If you have any suggestions of Advertising that has really worked for you, please let me know, I will trial it if it stacks up.

I signed up for PayPerPost approximately 5 days ago, however are yet to hear whether or not my blog has been accepted. I am not sure how long it takes them to review a blog, hopefully it does not take to much longer. I am very keen to do a review of their operation as part of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under.

100 Days, Over 100 Posts and a Summary of Money Made to Date

It has now been 100 Days since we started this Experiment. Over 100 posts have been written and nearly $230 NZ Dollars have been earned.

Traffic
Traffic has gradually increased over the time this blog has been running. Hopefully this will continue to grow over the months ahead. Most of our traffic comes from Google and referrals from other like minded sites - thanks to all that have linked through to this site. It is appreciated

Passive Income Focus
With more of a focus on passive income over recent weeks income has dropped a little on this site, however it has risen on my other sites so concentrating on building traffic, promoting etc has been worthwhile to date.

AdSense
Google AdSense has been cranking along quite nicely for us this month, it is a long time ago that I first became an AdSense publisher (June 2005) and it took 1 year to earn the first payout! The next payout took 5 months as a couple of new websites were added to the mix. Now we are looking at less than 2 months to clock over the minimum payment - One of our short term goals is to be paid out monthly, however we have a bit to go yet.

Sponsored Posts
It is has certainly been enjoyable NOT doing any sponsored posts this month (apart from a couple right at the beginning.), the benefit of concentrating on building traffic instead should mean that gains are ongoing and will help add to the snowball effect of exponential growth.

Summary
Anyway lets cut to the chase, here is the breakdown to date of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under!

(NZ $)
Google AdSense Total $23.97
Money4Blogs Total $29.41
Blogsvertise Total $22.06
Blogitive Total $110.29
LoudLaunch Total $7.35
MYLOT Total $11.19
SportsGambling Total -$10.10
Beer tasting Total $30.00
Grand Total US$ 152.44 or NZ$ 224.18

Increase over the last summary (90 Day Summary) in NZ Dollars: $11.31

90 Day Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

We have now clicked over the 90 day mark in our experiment. As always it has been another interesting 10 days since our last update.
A more long term focus has been taken with this experiment, so the income from sponsored posts is going to drop substantially as we try and spend our time, creating passive income rather than earning a quick 5 bucks writing a sponsored post.
Google AdSense has been extremely disappointing over the last 10 days on this site, however has been very good on my other sites, so I guess that I can't complain to much.
We are getting a few page views from an article that was posted on hubpages aff: however have not yet earned any revenue from it. The page impressions are certainly showing up ( it is possible to set up a channel inside Google AdSense to track this). It is only a matter of time before it starts to earn.

Anyway here are the numbers...

(NZ $)
GoogleAdsense Total $15.38
Money4Blogs Total $29.41
Blogsvertise Total $22.06
Blogitive Total $110.29
LoudLaunch $7.35
MYLOT Total $8.47
SportsGambling Total -$10.10
Beer tasting Total $30.00

Grand Total US$ 144.75 or NZ$ 212.87

Increase over the last summary (80 Day Summary) in NZ Dollars: $17.11

Building passive Income - Part I

As mentioned a week or so ago, the new focus for 2007 is to concentrate mainly on building passive streams of income. This is what we have been doing to achieve this...

Adding blogs to existing websites, to help search engine rankings
This is a great way to increase the search engine keyword pickups from your website, search engines love blogs, and adding a blog to your existing site can help you build that search engine recognition. You can also strategically place your AdSense adverts on the new blogs that you create to create additional revenue. Write a few good articles and money will start to be made.

Adding advertisements for various sites through free methods...
There are many sites where you can place free advertisements for your websites. These can help you gain additional traffic to your site. Here are some examples of such sites that can be found for free on the net.

http://www.gumtree.com
http://www.ukclassifieds.co.uk
http://www.smilecity.co.nz
http://www.emailcash.com.au

The last 2 are a bit of a pain because you need to complete surveys etc to earn points which you can then use to buy a classified advert, however the traffic that can be obtained from these sites is quite astounding. You need to live in NZ for the smilecity site, or Australia for the emailcash site.

Gumtree have sites in most countries, so you can easily post a free advert along with a number of images to promote your website.

Affiliate Adverts
An article was published by this site promoting different methods to make money along with affiliate links. This kind of article can be useful for the readers of a site about how to make money, and if anyone signs up under you an ongoing passive income can be earned. The article can be viewed here.

Results to date
So far Month to date our Google AdSense earnings across our sites are higher than ever (over $2 a day consistently) . Traffic is also on the up and up. Things are looking good however it will take more time to accurately determine whether these are the results of our efforts, or just a blip on the graph.

Just a side note, we have finally cracked the top 100,000 technorati blogs woohoo! Thanks to all that have linked to us, and a reminder, if you would like to swap links please post a link to our site and leave a comment saying you have done so. Within 24 hours you will have a link in return.

80 Day Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

Doesn't 10 days pass quickly? It seems like only yesterday I was crunching numbers and writing the 70 day summary however we are now at the 80 mark.

For me it has been a fantastic month overall (December). As you may know I have a few other websites not directly related to the Million Dollar Experiment, anyway over all my sites this month the AdSense total was 49.70 US. This may not sound like much however it is continually increasing and is pretty much a passive income.

Here is the breakdown of the Million Dollar Experiment specifically

(NZ $)
GoogleAdsense Total $14.82
Money4Blogs Total $29.41
Blogsvertise Total $22.06
Blogitive Total $102.94
MYLOT Total $6.63
SportsGambling Total -$10.10
Beer tasting Total $30.00

Grand Total US$ 133.12 or NZ$ 195.76
Increase over the last summary (70 Day Summary) in NZ Dollars: $40.43

This is starting to get almost lucrative when you consider that this is additional money over any of the other pre existing sources that contribute to the household income. A lot of this is due to sponsored posts, and can not really be considered as passive income, however I am more than happy to take the money for them!

One use for this additional income is to try and finance new projects out of the funds that are starting to be produced in the hope that new income streams can be created. (In other words don't tell the wife!)

70 Day Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

Another 10 days has passed since our last update. Things have been a bit quiet on the Blogitive side of things which has not helped us, however Google AdSense and mylot have made small gains for us.

GoogleAdsense Total $7.53
Money4Blogs Total $29.41
Blogsvertise Total $22.06
MYLOT Total $5.54
SportsGambling Total -$10.10
Beer tasting Total $30.00
Blogitive Total $66.18

Grand Total:NZ $155.33 (US$105.62)


It has become apparent in recent times that additional pay per post type resources are going to be an essential part of future growth.

For the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under, most of our traffic comes from referrals, this is something I do not mention enough as it is a key ingredient for the ongoing success of this site. The top Five Referral sites are (in no particular order)...

Mike's Money Making Mission
How to make money by blogging and how I am doing in it!
Can I Make Big Money Online
My Quest to make Money on the Internet
money4blogs

The main surprise out of the above is the Money4Blogs site, as they actually paid me to place a link on my site. As I was so impressed with this, I wrote an article about the service that they offer. As a result of my article there is quite a decent sized comment on the Money4Blogs site, pointing to my site and this has sent a large number of visitors through.
As well as this a number of Google searches for "Money4Blogs" find there way to my site.



This is quite a strange turn about when you consider that I am getting traffic from someone who was kind enough to pay me for a link to their site! I sincerely hope that the Money4Blogs team get plenty of visits in return!

It goes to show that if you see value in a product or service, be sure to tell your readers about it, even if there is no apparent incentive. Quality recommendations will result in visits, links and good karma for all!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the sites that have linked through to mine, it is great to see the referrals coming through, and I am sure that this experiment would not even be possible without all of these. If you have a like minded blog, or an interesting one, please link to me, and post a comment saying you have done so. I will then link back to you and we can all help to enhance each others networks.

Thanks also to all those that have taken the time to comment on my articles, it is always great to read your views and thoughts.

Have a great Christmas, Enjoy the day and try not to eat to much Christmas pudding!

60 Day Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

Another 10 days passes and the cumulative results are shown below. Our main income earner in the last 10 days has been blogitive, they are certainly proving to be a key part of our experiment, and I would definitely recommend them if you are looking to make a few bucks online.

Google Adsense Total $7.23
Money4Blogs Total $20.00
Blogsvertise Total $15.00
Blogitive Total $35.00
MYLOT Total $2.52
Sports Gambling Total -$6.87
Beer tasting Total $20.40
Grand Total: US $93.28 or NZ $137.17

Although I have spent very little time on myLot it has been noticeable that lately small increases have been made to the total earned even though I have not been actively participating in the site. This is due to a few good conversations that were started as well as a couple of referrals that have been posting a few discussions.

As Christmas and the New Year draw closer it is important to make as much money as possible in the next week or so, as there are bound to be a couple of quiet weeks around this time.

Although progress has been fairly good over the last few weeks, in recent times we have become a little reliant on one main earner. This will never stack up in the harsh reality of making money online. (multiple income streams are essential) so over the next few weeks we will try and find another productive source, we look forward to hearing your helpful suggestions regarding this if you would like to share them.

I read a great article tonight, you can read it here, its an interview with 3 or 4 guys that are making 1000s per month with adsense, and has some excellent advice for all of us wannabes!

Its not that hard to make $100 US Dollars a month part time

I have found that over the last couple of months that with the systems that I am starting to get in place, it is not that hard to make $100 US Dollars a month online with little or no outlay.

But you point out, you are not making $100 a month from this site, so how can you say that? Well the answer is that although I am not, this site is only one of my money earners, and I have a few other sites populated with Google AdSense, that make an additional amount of money. I am quite fortunate in the sense that the other sites are virtually maintenance free, so apart from trying to advertise them I do not have to actually work on them in a regular manner as you would have to with say a Blog Site, however the amount of time in setting up these sites was substantial (e.g 3 months effort of earning nothing to get them to the stage they are now).

This is the sum of my earnings over all online revenue streams over the last 3 months. ($US)

October $36.85
November $101.22
December $40.31 (12th of the Month )

You can see that in October across all streams we only made $36.85 however managed to almost triple this in November, and now we are only 12 days into December and are looking to at least maintain that figure, even though in November there were 2 substantial one off payments that will not be repeated.

Its all about multiple streams and exponential growth. Aim for a figure each month and then set about beating it, or even doubling it. The only thing that holds you back is time and determination. You must be prepared to keep plugging away and after a few months, you will begin to see the fruits of your labour, as the money starts to gather it becomes very exciting indeed.

50 Day Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

For the last 50 days, we have been attempting various different methods in our quest to make One Million NZ Dollars. We are aiming to identify the best ways, so that these can be concentrated on in the future.

From the below the only source that could be termed Passive Income is the Google AdSense earnings, as these are not directly related to work that we have done.

The most enjoyable so far would have to be the Beer Tasting, which although not strictly an online activity came about from an Online Survey, so we have counted it.

The worst earner so far as you can see from the below, was the online Sports betting that we trialled, this is one way to get rid of cash in a hurry!


Source
Value (US$)
GoogleAdsense Total $ 5.12
Money4Blogs Total $ 20.00
Blogsvertise Total $ 15.00
Blogitive Total $ 20.00
MYLOT Total $ 2.26
Sports Gambling Total -$ 6.87
Beer tasting Total $ 20.40


Grand Total $ 75.91

This converts to $111-64 NZ Dollars, which is a good start however looking at the size of the mountain that we are trying to climb, we still have an extremely long way to go!

By linking to other blogs and in turn getting links back our technorati ranking had climbed to around the 175000 mark last time I looked, thankyou for everyone that has helped out by linking to this site. Remember if you would like to swap links please leave a comment with your site details and we can do a reciprical link. I am especially keen on linking with other money maker sites so that my Like Minded Blogs, can be built up as a resource.

Building an Income Stream for the Future.

One of the issues that bloggers can struggle with is whether to concentrate on building Passive Income streams, which are normally slow and can be hard to see results from. Or to concentrate on quick fire money earners.

Previously to starting this Blog, on my Job Hunters websites I was starting to see a little bit of passive income building up, for example in the last month these other websites have earned approximately $30 US dollars on Google AdSense and I have had to do nothing except a little bit of (free) advertising.

To make that same income on this website requires maybe 5 or six sponsored blog posts which is probably a couple of hours of work and once you have been paid that is that. It does not keep ticking along while you sleep.

Now here is the dilemma, in the beginning it is possible that you are making considerably more money, through non passive means, so should you concentrate on this or should you be looking at the big long term picture and concentrate more on building up that solid, but slow long term income that earns money while you sleep.

The sensible answer is to do exactly that and concentrate on building up the passive streams, however the motivation to do this, is extremely hard to come by. One way to go about this is to try and split it 50/50. This way you can keep motivated and still be looking to the future at the same time!

Sometimes the best blog earners slip under the radar

When I began this blog I guess I assumed that Google AdSense would be the biggest earner for me. I probably would not have predicted that a few weeks down the track they would not even be in the top two. You can read my 40 Day Summary Here

This is nothing against AdSense as I am sure in six months time for example things will have changed. It is just a fact that the amount you earn from Google AdSense is directly related to the true traffic of your website and a Blog that has just started out is not going to do as well as a more established Blog.

With my exponential growth graphs and different sums and figures that I have done, to date I am well on track to retiring once and for all in less than 33 months. This may seem a little ambitious when you see that I have only earned a little over $50 in the last 40 days however it is like a snowball gathering momentum. For instance in the first couple of weeks I was lucky to earn 2 or 3 dollars.

As long as the momentum keeps flowing before long a very reasonable amount of money will be starting to materialize, and remember this is all above and beyond any of my previous money earning methods.

Traffic has been starting to rise in a slow yet consistent manner, as you can see from the graph below. You will notice the peak at the beginning, however that should be disregarded as I was using blog explosions there for a couple of days until I realized they were not worth the effort.


Many Blogs are created every single day, however only a small percentage are updated regularly and survive long term. Given the right attitude and refusal to give in an income should be possible from such a blog as long as the content is of value to the readers that are interested in the subject of your blog.

From my Blog I am hoping that visitors can gain some insight into ways of making money that have been proven through my own sweat and tears to not only work but work well and consistently. I can recommend joining the Million Dollar Experiment as a great motivator if you need something to aim for, and a fresh way at looking at money making.

Day 41 We prepare for a weekend of Sports Betting

This weekend I am sure that our sports betting will get back on track, I have now decided to stick with sports that I have some knowledge of, yet I will not bet on a team that I support.

I have been spending more time at mylot, and now have 2 referrals, thanks to you both. I just wish they would hurry up and get posting so I can earn some dollars! So far I have made about 40 posts and earned just under one dollar. Certainly not a fast earner, but money is money.

Google AdSense has been ticking along well lately, not a heap of money but fairly consistent which is nice to see, especially as you do not have to actively do anything for this money.

I have been watching my visits over the last month and they are on a slow but gradual increase which is nice to see. I think the key to any website is consistent content updates, if nothing happens for a week or two, readers will soon lose interest.

Let us not forget the reason this blog is here, to intend one million dollars into our lives, and to everyone else that shares this intention... here we go..

In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I intend $1,000,000 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone who holds this intention.
