Adsense, finally

Well I'm finally ready to make real post. I will update you on how my blogs are doing first, and what I've learned from how they are doing.

My blogs have been left virtually untouched for a week or so now. The ANTM blog is getting less adsense clicks than it did in January (a lot less) and it turns out it's getting the same amount of traffic. What I've learned from traffic patterns so far is that weekends produce far less traffic, as do American holidays. For example, today is presidents day and my ANTM website is down to half of the weekday clicks I normally get. Maybe I'll see a rise in traffic as the new season approaches.

One of my un-indexed websites has gotten itself indexed...and then un-indexed...and then indexed...and then un-indexed...and now it's indexed again and it looks like it's for real this time. Another one of my blogs has been getting a ton (well, not a ton exactly) but compared to what it was before, it's getting a lot of google traffic. A lot of people are finding it through google images, I'm not sure why, but it's showing up on google's first page for a few longer keywords I was targeting (yay!). What I've learned from these two is that once you plant the seed you have to be patient, keep watering, and your plant will grow. The better you take care of it, the bigger it will get.

Now on to adsense. I don't remember originally what I was going to say about adsense (sorry - use it or lose it) but maybe it was one of these following things.
When choosing a niche, yes, it is important to pick something that people are interested in. But also keep in mind that you need to choose something that people might click ads for. Just something to think about.
Also, keep track of your adsense earnings. Especially when you're just starting out, I suggest you check them daily. You will start to see trends and it will help you think of ways to improve your site/adsense earnings.
I know adsense is ugly, but don't hide it on your page. Put it right on top where everyone can see it. You want them to click away from your page!

Sorry I don't have much more to report. I've been busy but I'm seriously dedicating tomorrow to getting serious backlinks. Hopefully something will happen and I'll have more to report.

For the time being, Grizzly has made a new site - adsense for beginners. Check it out. Grizzly is really helpful in everything he writes and I'm sure his new site is no exception.

UPDATE: I just realized what was happening with one of my new blogs, the one that I was getting all this google image traffic from. It's pretty cool actually. With that blog I've been targeting about 6 different keywords. The main one I've been targeting, I don't rank for yet. However, if you google the main keyword I'm targeting, and then click on images, an image from my blog is appearing as the 3rd image. I got about 25 unique hits today from that one, and around the same yesterday, which is a huge jump from the 5 I was getting over the weekend. Especially since I didn't do anything. So anway, a new idea - images.

Thanks for reading how to make money online for beginners.
