Further action regarding placing ads between the posts

Now after doing all this, you can do more things go increase your income further. If you start getting automatic traffic, than you can try placing ads between the posts. You can also blend them with the blog template and chose from color combinations available. For your ads to appear between the posts, what you have to do is go to your blogger account, open your blog layout, click edit button of blog posts, and then select the box "show ads between posts". This would increase your overall clicks from same number of visitors available for your blog.

There are also many services available on the net for getting visitors, whether targeted or untargeted. They do it for a fee for a specified period. This although is not advisable by Google may lead to banning your account also. Therefore, better not do it. But many people might be taking benefit of this also unnoticed. But you can popularize your blog further by sending your url to various forums, orkut, yahoo groups etc. Sometimes good results by word of mouth can not be ruled out. If there are large populated organizations which have some relevance to your blog content, you can have a word of mouth with some of them to read your blog and tell their colleagues if they liked it.

Next steps

After creating good content for your blog, now you can do following further things:

1. Submit your blog to search engines. This can be done free of cost. Open submitexpress.com and submit your blog url to various search engines as per the directions available in that website. You can also submit your url in some other sites available on the net as per your choice. But a word of caution. Don't submit your url more that once in a month to the search engines, otherwise it may be considered and penalized as spamming activity by the search engines.

2. Making your content keyword rich and optimizing the content. Good keywords are those which get good traffic and get you good adsense income. Your content should contain all such keywords which are used frequently by the viewers of your subject while surfing the net. In this way your blog will always appear during the search. Secondly, there are keywords which make google paste high paying ads on your blog and thus fetch you good cpc when someone clicks on your ad. This most probably will be taken care of when you get content written by professional content writers.

3. Other types of optimization include getting good one way backlinks from other websites. What are backlinks. When a website includes your url in any of its pages, it is said to have a backlink pointing to your site. If that site has a good traffic, say 100000 visitors per day, then chances are that at least 100 of such visitors may click on your url, which would mean you get 100 daily visitors from one backlink only. But if that site does not get any traffic, there is no use of having backlink from that site, but that does not mean that you should not have backlink from that. In future, that site could start getting good number of visitors and you may get benefit in future.

4. Many sites sell their back links but dont do that as search engines penalize such action whenever detected. However what you can do is find out page rank increasing services available and if they assure to get your page rank increased at some reasonable cost, then that would be good. If you get page rank of even one, that would fetch you good traffic regularly. That would mean that people start reading your articles and this combined with your adding one article per week, would increase your chances of increasing the page rank to 2 or more in coming months.

Identify all the steps you need

Now like any other project for starting a business, you first need to identify what all you have to do for creating a good adsense income. I may first clarify here that it is not a get rich quick scheme, so do not expect the results to appear quickly. It may take a few months, may be a year for the results to show and you have to be patient and keep the continuity of your efforts going on till that time. Secondly do'nt be misled by the page rank of this blog as it has been started now only and like other blogs, its page rank shall also be showing in a few months time.

So what you need to do in a nutshell, is as follows:

1. Create a blog or more as per your ability. You will get the blogs free from blogger.com without any web hosting costs as well.
2. You have to chose a niche subject. What is niche subject? It is a subject which is very much liked by a large section of people in the world. The example is health care products, weight loss, fashion for ladies, dental care, bad breath, dog training, car insurance etc. By chosing a niche subject, you are assured of inviting attention of the viewers concerned with that subject. For instance all persons suffering with obesity will like to get in shape and lose weight. They are supposed to read articles on this subject on the net most of the time and if you are able to give them desired information, you can get good number of viewers.
3. Create content. For content creation, this can either be done by yourself or you can get the help of content writers available on the web. I think in the beginning, your blog should have at least 20 articles on the subject. So if you are able to get the content @ $5 per (or Rs.200) per article, you need to spend $100(Rs.4000) for 20 articles.
4. Thereafter, you can ask the content writer to provide one article per week for your blog. This would mean your monthly expenditure of $25(Rs.1000). In this way, in about an year's time, you will be having a blog of about 72 articles at a cost of $360(Rs.14000).

What we shall discuss now is the procedure of getting your blog noticed by most of the viewers, being liked by them, getting a good page rank and good ad sense income.

But the question is if one is not a master of the art of blogging, can one still get good income from ad sense? The answer is yes. In the following articles, I shall discuss this.
