Common Adsense Equation:
Regular Content + Regular Domain + Adsense Slapped in Sidebar = ...........not much $, am i right?
The Real Adsense Equation:
Smart Content + Aged Domains + Clever Adsense Placement = A Whole Lot Of $
Now, lets take the Real Adsense Equation, and dissect it to learn how exactly one should use it. I'll briefly talk about what Smart, Spun Content is, what I mean and why I say, Aged Domains, and finally, what Clever Adsense Placement means. It's all in the math! Traffic plays a huge role too but I'll leave 'how to generate traffic' for another thread and another day.
So just to clarify, we're going to first look at what is meant by (for the sake of making sure the majority of people get what i'm saying, even the not so adsense savvy ones):
- Smart Spun Content
- Aged Domains
- Clever Adsense Placement
So, What is Smart Spun Content?
First, let me explain what
Spun Content is and why you should
never ever EVER use it.
Spun Content, is auto generated content, created from a document. What happens is a piece of software takes this document (some idiots use as little as 20-30lines of keyword rich text) and it spins it into pages upon pages of content, generated using the document used only. It's not readable, not in the slightest, the document is just copy pasted and re arranged endlessly to generate an incredible amount of content that is then plastered all over a site, on hundreds of pages across, sometimes, hundreds of domains.
Reading the above paragraph, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that is one VERY stupid technique (i rarely use the word idiot, idiotic or stupid, but that's just how stupid using Spun Content is). So now that you know what Spun Content is, and that you should never use it, I bet you're wondering what Smart Spun Content is? To best explain what Smart Spun Content is, and help you understand how it works, let's look at Spun Content, as a failed battle strategy and learn an important lesson.
Warfare Diversification. Alexander the Great didn't just use light cavalry did he? No, same way William Wallace didn't only use pike men to whoop some tea drinking scone eating behind. By spinning all the content you use from the same document You'll be heading into battle with and army full of cooks, and nothing but cooks, armed to the teeth with pots and pans. You'll get your behind banned in no time. Don’t make that same mistake; build your sites from multiple content sources and use smart techniques.
I know what some of you are wondering, what content sources and what techniques? Well I'm not going to spoon feed you, this is to simply get you thinking out the box, think legitimate news feeds, there are tens of thousands of them, figure out a way to utilize them for the niche you want, think of how to Spin that content and build a x,xxx pages site with readable, accessible, useful content that you're allowed to use, that is valid, that can be crawled by search engines. Play your cards right and it works, there are plenty of other ways too, just THINK.
So, that covers Smart Spun Content, lets take a look at Aged Domains.
This is self explanatory but for the sake of taking this thread to a level playing field and making sure people of all knowledge levels get what I'm saying, I'll do my best to explain these terms.
An Aged Domain is just that, a domain that has been registered for years and has been indexed for as long. You can easily buy one from the V7N domain forum I'm sure, or other places for an affordable price too. I have in the past 4months picked up domains registered in 2000-2001, indexed since with a light dash of backlinks for as little as $20-$150. Considering the initial work that goes into getting a site indexed and building those essential first few links to get a site off the ground, those $'s are worth the investment IMO.
Here's what you look at when acquiring Aged Domains:- Age: This is the single most important factor, for me at least. If you land a couple pre 2000 names or have them, then you're sitting on GOLD. I mean that, pure gold.
- Indexed: Here's the kicker, while you may have registered your domain in 1998 (PM me i might buy it lol!) if Google only indexed it yesterday, then, technically, it's only a Day Old. So figure out when it was indexed, the way back machine (archive tool) is a good way of doing this for aged names, however there are other ways.
- Banned: Make sure the domain isn't banned. (while a simple re-inclusion request can fix that, it sometimes takes weeks-month('s) for that to happen.
- $$$: Don't pay more than you think it's worth. Aged domain owners tend to be attached to their names, not many, a few, so try to look around for the affordable names.
- Pagerank: Don't, I repeat, don't buy an aged domain you're going to use primarily based on page rank. It just is not worth it, no matter what the PR is. But hey, this is again, only my opinion.
So that covers Aged Domains, final stop, Clever Adsense Placement.
Now I can write an entire new topic on proper adsense placement, but for the sake of keeping it short and to the point, just place ads in a way that both conforms with Google Adsense Requirements, and is creative. A Not so in your face ad. You can browse the web for the creative adsense placement ideas, it all comes back to your site design, content layout, etc. (I will type up a thread in the future about the best ad placement practices and how to tread closely to that red line of what Google allows and doesn't allow

)
So now that we've looked at the equation, I'm going to leave it to you to tweak the variables noted above for that optimum result. You didn't think I was going to walk you through till you made that first plum pay check did you? ha.
If you have any questions though, I'll be more than happy to answer them (to the best of my knowledge), and if you've used adsense before, and it has proven to be successful because of certain techniques you've used, why not share them or enlighten us with some nifty tips? Would love to hear what you guys have to say on this subject!
