Make Cash Online

It’s been around two weeks that I started my little adventure into the land of the snipers and at this time I think it is safe for me to conclude that you can make cash online doing this and you can make a lot. The fact is that this is a game of numbers. Obviously the more that you have out there, the more you’re going to make overall. I don’t think anyone can get around that fact. Even if you try to build up one site, the earnings increase as you add more pages. When you buy a lot of domain names you’re going to end up with a lot little sites that can dominate the search engines.

I thought I’d let you guys know that I bought up 20 domain names on the 15th of this month. I just had another one of those desires to buy up a lot of domains and so I did. That is an additional $176.20 added to the total money invested for this account. I immediately did my routine of getting content up on these sites as fast as I could and send them one simple backlink. It is just my way of getting my sites indexed as soon as possible. When I choose the domain names this time, I put in a little more work into it. I selected keywords that paid a lot more. I also picked specific types of domain names (which I’ll go into in a future post).

Here is what the results look like so far…

1. Sites indexed very fast. Some within a few hours and the rest within 48 hours
2. 8 out of 20 domains indexed in the top 10 for their keyword

Think about these two points for a second. I got 40% of my sites indexed in the top 10 for their keyword very fast. Literally within hours for some of them. That is how you make fast online cash. The same holds true about the first 21 domain names I bought. The sites that indexed in the top 10 are the ones making the money right now. That’s with no backlink work. That’s me just making some content pages, putting adsense on the page and putting it up.

The Keyword You Select Are Important

It’s all about the keywords and how well they’ll rank. The weaker the competition you’re against, the more likely you’re going to rank great. I’m thinking about all the wasted time I’ve put into this game where I was trying to get one site to rank for a good keyword. I was busting my balls everyday just trying to get it to the top 10. Foolish of me.

Well, maybe I shouldn’t be negative. I’ve made money that way and it definitely helped me go into this little Adsense experiment with cash to invest and money coming into pay my bills in the mean time. The fact is that I was busting my balls for a keyword that might get 4500 searches a month. That’s a nice amount of searches, but one of my sites just ranked in position 9 at Google within 48 hours of being bought and the search term gets 10,000 per month. That is exact searches by the way, not broad. Talk about instant cash online.

Ed Dale is WRONG!

Mr. Ed Dale was the first guru I heard talk about the competition numbers. It was such a new idea to hear when I first started out. You can probably dig through the old posts on my old blog and find me reference this over generalized and misinformed opinion.

Ed Dale said that you take a keyword and you search it in quotes at Google. The number of sites that are returned is the competition. I know that Ed Dale is doing his 30 Day Challenge now and I’m not sure what the criteria is for this current challenge (besides selling his Market Samurai), but when I participated it was under 30,000. Typically you’d aim for keywords that had 10k, 20k or less. This is the wrong way to look at this.

The total competition for every keyword is 10. A lot of keywords the competition will be 3. That’s right. You’re not competiting with the site that shows up in position 55. You don’t make money beating that ass clown. You don’t even make money beating position 11. The only positions that make money are the top 10. In most cases that isn’t even good enough and you’re really competiting for the top 3 positions.

That’s why I say the competition is 10. You don’t care about 20,000 other sites. You only care about the ones on the first page. This is why I have ranked on the front page for a keyword with 250k in quotations, within a week of buying a domain and with 1 crappy backlink. I’ve also struggled to get onto the front page for 8000 competiting sites after months of building backlinks. This is the precise reason that Ed Dale is wrong. If I followed his view I’d still be dicking around looking for decent keywords instead of making cash online.

Finding Good Long Tail Keywords

This is a real pain in the ass. I’ll admit it. It’s not something that can be summed up into an exact science. You just have to have your mind open when you think about things. You’ll just have something pop into your head. Instead of letting that thought disappear, immediately search it at big G’s keyword tool or atleast write it down. Often times a slight variation in wording can open you up to a lot of uncompetitive keywords. It could be as subtle as “hotdog” to “hot dog” or it could be “hotdog” to “weiner”. I hope you understand what I mean by that.

You just got to keep your mind open. It’s not an exact science and you’ll spend most of your time not finding anything good. Probably out of every hour I research, I’ll probably only find keywords out of 5-10 minutes of that time. Often I’ll find a bunch all at once and not find any for an hour. That’s just the way this type of research works.

The 10 Sites

If you want to make cash online than you need to beat out at least one of the 10 sites on the front page for a keyword that gets searched. It doesn’t matter how much competition “with quotes” for a keyword. If there is 5k competition and a major authority site in position 1, it will take you years of work to over take them (if you do).

Theoretically, you only need to find one weak site out of the 10. If you notice that position 6 is pretty weak, than that means 7, 8, 9, and 10 are even weaker. You have to set yourself a goal for what is acceptable to you. You just have to get real about how much traffic you’ll end up getting. A 3000 exact searches per month keyword works out to roughly 100 a day.  Here is the breakdown of the suspected probabilities.

1. 42.30%
2. 11.92%
3. 8.44%
4. 6.03%
5. 4.86%
6. 3.99%
7. 3.37%
8. 2.98%
9. 2.83%
10. 2.97%

This is just an averge click through rate for listings. As you can see anything beyond the top three just seems sort of useless. Even the third position isn’t that great. At a hundred searches a day you’ll end up with on average 3 clicks a day at oisutuib 10. You can’t make cash online with that.

It is important to note that these statistics wouldn’t consider the fact that you can have a very appealing title and description. Obviously if your site stands out compared to the rest you’re going to get more click throughs. Keep that in mind when you create your title. That’s not to say that you should have big long titles either. A long title would stand out more when other sites have short ones and vice versa. These are all things to consider. Always test test test and that is how you’re going to make money.

Oh almost forgot. Your click through rate with the big G will also be effected by the amount of ad listings that show up. Sometimes they’ll just show up on the right side of the listings. That isn’t a big deal and I doubt that would really change anything. The ones that show up at the top would definitely take away a portion of the traffic. Also take that into consideration with the keyword.

Templates

I make my own templates. I build them so I have my sites looking different instead of them all looking the same. I do play with the templates though. I want to know what the hell is going on and I want to know what is going to maximize my profits. You really have to play with this. I’m definitely working on it.

I have fat templates and I have skinny ones. I have ones with a menu bar on the right side and a menu bar on the left side. I have some with a menu bar on the bottom and sometimes I put it at the top. I’m always checking to see what is going to happen. Maybe the stupidest little thing will cause my Adsense CTR to skyrocket. But this is testing. This isn’t your first objective.

First, Get the Traffic Than Worry About CTR

The only way you are going to be successful is if you think in a linear manner. Linear just means in a straight line. What I mean by it is that you have to think in a straight line and in single steps. To make a successful site you have to do step 1, step 2, step 3… step 153. Putting up a site and worrying about CTR when you’re really on step 3 is stupid. CTR is something that is in a further step. Get your traffic first, than worry about your CTR.

The same thing can be said when you just buy the site. Your goal after you buy the site is to put content up. You’re not trying to drive traffic to it. You put up the damn content, than you build links, than you get the traffic, than you worry about CTR. Always think in a linear manner, so you don’t get caught with a severe case of mental masturbation.

Precarious Adsense

Even though this sniper project is all about Adsense (well I have a few amazon ones), I’m still scared about it. I just don’t trust the hammer and fist of the big daddy Google. They created this program to make cash online, yet they just ban people. There’s nothing you can do about it. There is no phone number to call them at. You’re just banned (or disabled) and that is that. The Terms of Service are so incredibly vague that most people that are banned don’t even know the hell why it happened. If Google doesn’t like the nature of a site, you’re done. It doesn’t matter what you think, you’re done. End of story. That’s precarious and it just makes me worry a lot.

The fact is that the value is the traffic. All things aside, the traffic is of value. If the big G gives me the boot off their network, I can always find something to replace it with. As long as I have the traffic still available to me, I can monetize it in some manner. I can put up Amazon products and start making some sales. I know there are some other click through like programs. There’s also CPAs, even though it can be tough for some keywords.

I guess the point is that if Google wants to take away my ability to make cash with them, than so what? I can replace it. I might as well just assume that the big G is going to shitcan me and all I’m doing now is making some profit while I can. I suppose it is better than sitting on the sidelines holding a self righteous attitude about how Adsense isn’t fair.

Diversification

Isn’t this what it’s all about? I want to make my money from a lot of different sources. This protects me from royal fuck ups and complete outtages by shit networks. Nothing is more annoying than busting your balls for one particular network, just to see it go to shit. Your sales suddenly disappear and you’re making 10-20% of what you were making. That’s the annoying aspect of things. That was my newbie mistake starting out. Assuming a network was good and that they would do a good job. Nah. Never again will I think like that. The only person I’m putting that much trust in is me.

Even now I don’t feel that diversified, which is probably the big reason why I’m taking a huge step into Adsense.  I have sites I make actual sales for. I have CPA sales. Now I need some pay per click traffic. If I’m going to make cash online, I better make sure that I’m getting it from as many sources as possible and protect myself against bans or screw ups.

I’d also like to get Amazon producing a decent income too. I like Amazon, even though it has some pretty shitty commissions. They do improve after you get a lot of sales. The thing I like best about them is that people will rarely ever just buy what you had them click through for. They’ll end up buying a bunch of shit and you’ll get a decent commission. The first 21 domains (wave 1) I set up in this sniper site project had a few Amazon sites. I haven’t seen any results from them yet due to the fact none of them rank yet for their keyword. I have Adsense on all the sites that rank. The 20 new domains (wave 2) I made sure that I selected a few sites that indexed on the front page already to be Amazon sites.

We’ll see how that works because I’m still currently building the sites now. I’m still waiting for some sites to index. We’ll just have to see how it goes though. It’ll be interesting with the first wave of sites actually start to move up the ranks and get into key positions. That will be the interesting times. I’m making a pledge here that if my Amazon sites do pretty good, I’m probably going to make a new wave of sites that are completely Amazon related. I trust Amazon more because they don’t appear to be total douchebags with a ban hammer ready to use.

I guess I’m being a little mean to the big G. The fact is that a pay per click program is going to be something that has an extremely high amount of abuse and that is the reason that they have the ban hammer. That sucks for webmasters because we don’t have anyway to protect ourselves. It doesn’t matter how sweet our traffic is because some asshole could come along and go nuts on our ads. We’re at the mercy of things out of our control.

At least with Amazon you’re getting paid for providing value. Someone has to buy and make Amazon money before we’ll ever make money. That is the way it should be. They’re not going to have an over zealous person looking for excuses to ban. Even if your site sucks shit, as long as you’re making them money they don’t give a flying fuck.

Things I want to try

Obviously with me having 41 sites, I’m open to a lot of different types of testing. I’m not talking about big time testing, but little tiny things to see what happens. The sites rank fast and they’re pretty isolated, so I’ll get a good idea of what can help me and what is probably useless. I’ve currently just tried out whether putting your keyword in bold in the first paragraph actually does help. I’ve heard it countless times before, but I thought I’d give it a try in an objective manner to see what happens.

Something else I wanted to try is writing much longer articles. Like I’m talking tank articles. I’ve been reading How to Make Money Online With SEO and Grizzly’s blog for a few months now. Despite the great information in their actual posts, I think there are lessons to be learned just in the way they create their sites. I noticed that both of them write absolute monster posts. They’re just huge. You literally have to dedicate a half an hour of your time reading it. I think one of the posts I read at MMOSEO was actually 10,000 words. Think about how big that is. I probably have ebooks I’ve written and sold for $50 that haven’t even contained that many words. And it’s not like they’re writing shit either. It’s good stuff.

You should be able to tell that I’m trying this out too. Right now with this post. I’m trying to write a nice long post on how to make cash online. I’m talking about my snipers and I’m trying to go into as much detail as I can to fill up this post. So far I’ve made it to 2826 words. Not even close to the ten thousand that these other guys are doing. I’m guessing this is what you need to do to get a lot of long tail keywords. I’m not sure. It’s something that I haven’t investigated really.

I actually converted my main $7 report site into this to test. I could only get to around 2500 words. I put that up and put Adsense on the page just to see how it would perform. I’m still waiting for the big G to crawl the site again. I’m still coming up in the search results for the old version of the site. I’ll obviously get some good empirical evidence from it. I might actually get some results for doing a long post on here.

When I think back, I know one particular post on my old blog got a lot of long tail traffic. In fact, it was my longest two posts that I made on the entire site. At the time I thought they were long, but they were really about a 1000 words a piece (I broke it up into two).  It was my post on How to Beat the Taxman. I never got a lot of traffic for just one term. I just got a lot of traffic for a variety of shit at Google. I get most of the traffic around tax time though, which I’m sure you’d figured in the first place.

I’m very curious to see what is going to happen with these long posts. Obviously I’m not going to be doing these really long articles for article directories. Fuck that. I’m not writing beast articles, just so the directory gets all the long tail traffic. I at least know that the long tail stuff will go to even sites with zero backlinks, as long as they actually have the words on the page. I resent writing over 500 words for article directories. I’ll save the long pages of text for my own pages.

Another thing that I’ve been wanting to really start adding to my pages is the Conduit Method. This is a program that was created by Chris Rempel, who just happens to be the author of “Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate”. Obviously you can go pick up his program if you want for $14.95. It isn’t that much. It’s really a simple idea and I’ve been doing it long before I ever heard of Chris Rempel or his method.

When it comes to selling products, people will typically list the name of it and give a review (or try and market it). Whatever you’re doing, the only text related to the product is the product itself. The idea behind the Conduit method is to throw in as much information as you can that is related to the product. It could be anything. It could be the shipping weight, to the price, the creator , to the support number. It doesn’t matter. For example, Chris Rempel has his mailing address for the Conduit Method as 103-2529 Wark St. Victoria BC, V8T 4G7 CANADA. Obviously you want to dig up as much information that is related to the product in case someone ends up searching it.

Basically is someone searched Chris Rempel Wark Street, you want your page to come up. Or Maybe they’ll search Conduit Method Victoria. The point is that you want them to come to your site. They know about the product. A lot of the long tail traffic you’ll get won’t be related to street names, but things like price or size (physical product). The reason this traffic is so good is that the person is obviously already presold. They’re just looking for technical information on the product and you want them to go through your affiliate link before they go and purchase.

It isn’t that complicated of a method to apply. In one way or another you probably applied it in one form or another. I actually sometimes get traffic to my sites from people searching the names of people that gave testimonials on a sales page. I typically grab testimonials from sales pages and put them on my site too, so it should show you the possibilities.

I have one page on this current blog that gets a lot of long tail traffic for applying the techniques of the Conduit Method. Please keep in mind that I don’t build any links to this blog. I do nothing for this site because I haven’t done a thing to monetize it. It is my Michael Jones Scammer Warning page. I think this page will give you a good idea about what I’m talking about. Look at how much of the information is filled with technical information of what I’m talking about (which is Michael Jones and how much of a douchebag scammer he is). When I created this page, I tried to dig up as much shit as I could put in there. I put in addresses, email address, other business names, names, pen names, etc. I filled it up with as much technical information as possible and I get traffic for it. In fact, most of my traffic for this site comes to this page. Apparently a lot of people are pissed off at this guy.

The difference between that type of page and a sales page is that this is all technical information. It is all facts and nothing else. People search all sorts of things with it too. If you search the phone number, my sites comes up in number 2. If you search michael jones is a scammer, my site comes up number 2. You should be getting the point. There are an infinite amount of combinations that will get me traffic, even though it won’t help me make cash online since the page isn’t monetized.

You should also understand that the conduit method is really hit or miss. Typically you have to go after products that are at least popular enough for people to search these various long term keywords. The good news is that big products typically have this volume and very little people actually add in all the technical information and facts that make Chris Rempel’s method work so well. If you look at my Sebastian Foss Scam, you can see that it is of the same format and style, but I don’t get much traffic for it. I might get a few hits a month.

Apparently this scam artists isn’t as popular as Michael Jones in the search engines. I don’t know why either because this guy had his own affiliate network. One day the site doesn’t load. One day turns into weeks. Than all the websites with his affiliate network just go to domain name parking. What a lame ass.

Okay, got to get back on topic. Oh things I want to try. I have another one here that I want to try that still sort of fits in with the Conduit Method. Instead of focusing on technicals of a product or person, I could focus on season and holiday. I’ve created themed pages before for Christmas, but that’s about it. Obviously changing your sites around all the time to meet different seasons would be a lot of work, but you would probably pick up some bonus long tail traffic.

Even though I haven’t tried this yet, the first thing I would be doing is coming up with various words for the season. Let’s just say I’m working on Christmas. Obvious you’d have words like Christmas, gift, present, tree, Jesus  Christ, Christian, Chanukah, New Years, ornaments, good will toward men, etc. You get the idea, but I want to make a huge list. I want to get every single possible keyword that would be associated with Christmas, but not to a specific product. I can fit the product around the keywords. Even something as simple as last minute Christmas gift ideas could be enough to gain a lot of traffic.

Obviously, I wouldn’t do this for all my sites. That would be a huge nightmare and would probably send me over the edge. I would probably do it for my best performing sites. The idea in that case is that I’m going to hang onto good sites for years, so I can just reuse the same articles I make year after year. It makes it easier. There would be a lot of seasons to go through though. You have Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, Independence Day and you also have themes like Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall. It is a lot of work, but something I feel I have to at least try. I might be surprised by how well it works. If it works, I make more cash. I’m not going to cry over that.

There is also another variation of this that I want to try, but this is something that is going to require very fast indexing because I want to try subjects that are hot in the news now. I suppose it doesn’t have to be even that recent, but something (or someone) with a popular name. My mentor back when I was doing adult sites told me that there was one boundary you don’t cross and that was no politics. I think that was mainly for legal reasons and the regulations on that aspect of being an adult webmaster, but I’m curious.

I think I’m in a safer arena here in the mainstream of sites. I don’t think I’ll have a problem talking about Obama’s Health Care plan or how GOP Representative Joe Wilson is a Douchebag. Obviously politics is a touchy subject and I would NEVER EVER do this on a page with Adsense on it. But the point is that I can cash in one some of these subjects. Joe Wilson is a douchebag. Someone might search that. Someone might search Joe Wilson Money and end up at this page. I don’t know.

Let me prove a point. Christine Taylor is hot. Like she is smokin’ hot. When she was in the movie Wedding Singer she dressed up in some great looking 80’s outfits. Man oh man. I’d do here. I’d plow her constantly. The things I’d do to Christine Taylor will only live in my imagination, but man. Any hole.

Despite this site not being about anything related to hotness or Christine Taylor’s tight ass, it’s something that could be searched. Obviously if someone is looking for her tight ass, I want them to come here because there is none for them. But that’s the point. You can probably go to Google over the next few days and see if you can find some combination of Christina Taylor related keywords and see if my site comes up. Ben Stiller is one lucky bastard.

Even though these examples suck ass and I’ll admit that, I’m sure I can come up with something related to the subject. If you have a site selling vintage records or something like that, you’d want to take advantage of current events. When Michael Jackson died, or at least was in the hospital, I would of been pounding out a page for a site like that. The amount of traffic that you could pick up would of been insane.

Maybe that’s what I’ll have to do with this blog. Stop thinking about how I can make cash online and try to get as many people to this site looking for the tight ass of hot celebrities. Maybe I’ll try to pick up some long tail traffic for Spencer Grammer. She’s the daugher of Kelsey Grammer. She’s also on the television show Greek. I saw her in that show wearing nice tight booty shorts. It was nice. Greek’s new season started this month, so maybe some people will be looking for a little Casey Cartwright ass.

Okay, I think I gave more than enough examples of what the hell I mean when I’m talking about the long tail of current events. I probably never even needed to go into detail, but why shouldn’t I get some weird traffic for telling you about it?

Hard Work

I don’t want you to get the idea that making sniper sites is just easy and you don’t have to do hard work. I know when I say that I ranked for a keyword that gets 10,000 searches a month, and I got in the top 10 by just indexing, I may have made you think that this is easy. Not all keywords are going to rank that easy. I have more sites that aren’t ranking in the top 10 and I’m going to have to nurse them all the way to the front. I’m hoping I won’t have to do much of it, but there will be some definite nursing.

You have to remember it is the volume here that will keep you busy. For me to add one page of content to all my sites, I’d have to write 41 articles of content. Creating the sites up to a level that would allow me to put Adsense on it requires a lot more work. There was a period last week where I wrote around 90 articles in two days. Think about that. 90 articles in two days. My brain was literally mush when I got to that point, but this is how hard I’m working. I’m not fuckin’ around.

The only way to make cash online is busting your balls working. Like I said in my previous post on this topic was that I have an objective of making one dollar per site per day on average.  That’s not a lot of money, so I’m dedicating myself to a business of volume. Obviously I could take my time. Instead of hammering out 20 decent sites over a period of a few days, I could just take my time. I’m not going to argue with that line of thinking. If that is what you want to do, than do it.

Here’s the way that I see it. All sites need to marinate, especially the new ones. It isn’t a matter of putting a site up when you want that counts. It’s how long your site has been sitting in the Google index that counts. I hope by now that you recognize it’s a lot easier to hold a strong position than it is to push someone out of that strong position. It is proven that age gives you trust with Google. The longer your site has been around, the more the big G trusts it. Slowly building decent links over time will result in a lot of trust and eventually authority.

The fact is that this all takes time. If I have a choice between getting a site up now or taking my time and getting it up in a month, I’ll take now. Because now means that it will have a chance to marinate with all search engines and be one step closer to trust. At least with this sniper project, some of the sites are indexing in the top 10. I can’t sit around like that. If I can get in the top 10 immeditately by just putting the site up, I might as well make some money. The site sitting on the sideline doing nothing doesn’t help me any.

The idea that I’ve been trying to follow is to get the sites out there and have them fully built. I’ll worry about link building and all that crap later. The fact of the matter is that you can make some money getting them out there. It’s not like you’ll be busting your balls for nothing. You’re going to make money. All my sites aren’t in the money position, yet I’m making money. I’m obviously making enough for me to go out and buy another 20 domain names without actually seeing any money position results with the first wave of sites.

Even though I’m throwing up content in an extremely fast manner, I’m not throwing up crappy content. I try to write things that would actually benefit the reader. I’m not saying that this is easy though. Some of the keywords I’ve gone after are on such inane things that it almost destroys my brain trying to figure out what the hell I can write about. Remember, a site has multiple pages, so I have to figure out multiple pages of potential content and that can be daunting. But despite that I keep trucking away at it. I can either piss and moan, or get to work. I choose work.

An Aside

I couldn’t help, but notice that some of the sites indexed and than like 24 hours later they deindexed. Just thought that was a little odd. I’ve only seen it happen with these snipers, but I guess I haven’t actually paid that much attention to results like this before. I guess I’m trying to really document a way to make cash online. I noticed one particular site that I actually indexed in the top 10. I created the full site for it. Received a click through with Adsense and now the site is deindexed. I know it will be back in like a day or two, but I just find it funny.

I wonder if this is an issue with Google’s Dance/Sandbox thing or if it is just a datacenter thing where I end up searching a different data center at a different time of the day and that leads to different information. I don’t know. I’m an engineer, so I’m always thinking in systematic fashions and want to figure out everything.

Anyway, let’s get down to the numbers here.

Total Invested: $354.20 US

Total Earned: $24.17 US

I’m pretty happy with the way things are progressing. I noticed that I have good days with Adsense and than I have bad days. Not complaining though because the bad days are a lot better than what I was getting before. The point is that there is an upward trend with what I’m making with the program. Last post I was at $8.37 for the week. This week I did $15.58, so that is just under two times what I made last week. It’s also important to note that the 20 new domains that I bought haven’t started to earn yet. I think I’ve had one click so far from the sites, so you can rest assure that the jump in revenues is due to the first wave of 21 sites.

It is important to know that this isn’t the fun time. None of my sites are in the money spot (top 3 at G). Until I have sites getting into that position, I’m not in the fun zone. That’s when the real volume is going to come through and I’ll see whether it is game time.

Keeping it all organized

I almost forgot to talk about the organization of things. Right now I’m at 41 sites. As I add more over the months it’s going to be hard to keep track. If I expect to make cash online I have to keep things organized perfectly. The only way I’ve been able to keep track of everything is with spreadsheets. If you don’t know much about spreadsheets or even like them, I suggest you learn to like them and it’s not like you have to do mathematical manipulations with the numbers.

I have all the sites listed under one column. Obviously they’re broken between wave 1 and wave 2 to keep them organized. Here is the type of information that I hold onto: date the site was created, date the site was indexed, starting position, current position, type of template, number of pages of content on the site, number of backlinks I’ve actively built.

This makes things a lot easier for me. I look at the spreadsheet and I can see which sites need a little link love. Adding fresh content to the sites is also important to do from time to time. It is important to make sure that all pages are getting their share of content. I’m obviously doing something wrong if one site is ending up with 20 pages of content, while another site is sitting there with 5 pages.

The starting positions and finishing positions are just things that I like to keep for my own information. It’s nice to see a site start at position 105 and move all the way up to the front page. It shows me that I’m progressing over time. Keep your shit together. I even made another spreadsheet for domain names. I have the domain name, registrar and the date it expires. I had to because I just had way too many to keep track of.

Parting Words of Advice

This post has been dragging on for a good while now, so I think I need to conclude it with some words of advice. The people that have actually read this post will fall into three different categories. The first will be the person that dismisses it and forgets about it. The second will end up with inane questions and will never take action until they’re answered. The third will take immediate action and figure it out as they go.

The vast majority of you will fall under the first two and it is unfortunate. If you dismiss it, well I can’t do anything for you. It is the people that have inane questions that are the ones that really annoy me. Do you remember where I said you have to think in a linear manner? Stop worrying about step 56 when you still have to take step 1.

And really the questions people ask aren’t things that can be answered. How the hell do I know which template is going to help you earn fast cash online? How will I know whether a 300×250 Adense box will do any better than a 250×250? All these are inane questions. Inane means stupid and pointless if you haven’t taken the time to look up the definition. For the people out there that want answer to these stupid questions, all I have to say is figure it out. Put up a site and find out. That is what everyone else, including myself, has to do.

This isn’t rocket science. Spend some time doing some keyword research and find yourself a few good keywords. Go out and buy domains with the keyword in the name. Put up your site. Bam. It’s that easy. If it works out and you get on the front page, congrats. If it doesn’t, you learn a lesson. Start building links and see what happens.

If you see a keyword and you’re not sure if it is weak or not, don’t sit there with your thumb up your ass. Find out. You can buy a domain for the keyword and see what happens. Even if you’re cheap you can setup a blog on Blogger or something and start building links to it.

This isn’t rocket science. If you want to make cash online all you have to do is get off your ass and try. Don’t worry about failure. I’ve had plenty of site failures. I’ve made full product ebooks I was planning to sell for fifty bucks fail. It happens, but I learned from it. I’m wiser for having the fuck up on my resume.  You should get some fuck ups on your resume too.

You have to accept some inevitabilities about life. Bitchin’ gets you no where. Whining gets you no where. Complaining gets you no where (at least when you complain about your own life or situation). Try and think of internet marketing as weight lifting. When you have to lift up a 100 pounds, no amount of bitchin’, whining and complaining is going to get that weight off the ground. It’s a weight. It frankly doesn’t have consciousness nor if it did, it wouldn’t give a shit about how you feel. Also, asking inane questions about what you do when you get the weight off the ground is stupid too.

The only thing that will get that weight off the ground is lifting it (verb). The only thing that will help you profit online is working on websites.  Sure you might try to pick up that weight and not be able to do it. Just as you’ll make a site that makes you no money. You learn from it, you get better and you eventually lift it.

And that’s what it all comes down to. I recognize the fact that the only way I can make money online is by working to put up a website, creating content and building links. It doesn’t matter if I’m tired and stressed out. That doesn’t change the fact that I have to work on websites, create content and build links. It doesn’t matter what I feel.  All that matters is that I get the work done.

I guess at this point I’m going to have to wrap this up. All I’m saying is that you just have to try. Trying is the value, not the fact that you might fail. You don’t have to know everything because I certainly don’t. I don’t know what the right template is, but I made several anyway. I don’t know the best color scheme for my Adsense blocks, but I put them up anyway. You don’t have to know everything now because you can always learn it as you go. And often learning it as you go is much more educational and much more informative than anything I could tell you here.
