Project Monetizing Site with Google Adsense & Kontera
Written by Pablo Palatnik on August 25, 2008
I am going to blog my updates and project for those who are just starting in the online marketing space trying to make some extra money at home by starting a website and trying to make money from Google Adsense or any other type of contextual advertising network.
I won’t give you the name of my website, but will post statistics and you’re welcome to ask your questions.
I blogged about this site about a week ago in a post I called, “Achieving #1 Google Results Without a Link” so that is why I’m recording this project in particular. You don’t need to do any SEO to rank in the engines but it is critical that you do have SEO on-site factors to your website such as optimizing specific URLs for titles, descriptions, keyword density, etc. THE BASICS.
There is currently a little less than 100 different URLs on this site and I strictly depend on low searched long-tail keywords (hence why it ranks.) This was a site that I just had laying around and I as I saw had some good rankings, I started to place Adsense and then also decided to go with Kontera.
**NOTE: IT IS CRITICAL YOU UNDERSTAND THE KEYWORDS IT RANKS FOR ARE LOW SEARCHED KEYWORDS.
Here are snapshots of my winnings in Aug since I started placing Adsense and Kontera which I believe began around Aug. 5, 2008 (as I update this project in future posts, I’ll be more precise in terms of time, etc.)
Google Adsense Earnings:
Kontera Earnings:
Here is the analytics for this page (look how low the traffic is! All Google,Yahoo, and AOL organic traffic):
OK..so from Aug 1-25, 2008:
Google Adsense: $13.21
Kontera: $0.94
Total Earnings: $14.15
Each new URL I make for this particular website takes about 3-6 minutes to build with all original content.
You may be asking yourself, “why waste time with such low numbers (money and traffic) and is it worth it?”
This is a long-term project for me and I will add 3-6 or 7 URLs per day for the 30 days which I will give my next update. I will not optimize the site at all but just keep adding content. This is 100% organic optimization.
Note the PageRank for this website is currently 0.
Next update will be Sept. 25, 2008
