Automated Adsense blogs, does it work?



There has been a growing number of people selling the idea of so called "automated Adsense" blogs. The basic concept behind these is quite simple. What is being sold is pretty much a blog used purely for Adsense purposes. The contents itself is aggregated from various sites depending on topic so indirectly it fools Google, Yahoo and other major search engines into thinking that it is just a blog like the rest of us who writes diligently. The biggest difference is obviously that the content itself is not unique and is usually taken from news resources and displayed into the blog site itself. So what these sellers sell is that the more you buy, the chances of visitors stumbling upon your blog or network of blogs is higher thus providing you a greater return of what we know as Adsense. Through today's video I will provide you some of my opinions about this concept in whether it works or not.

Let's hypothetically say that you have stumbled onto a site like this, what would you do? Chances are that you will hit the "X" button a lot faster then anyone else. Like a junk site, the visitor knows that he or she has stumbled into something that's useful or junk. To get a grasp of consistency in any type of ad agency, the golden rule to remember always is the retain your traffic. Instead of showering them with junk which shuns all of them away, think more like how you can provide something that they are looking for exactly?! With these type of blogs, they provide only irrelevant information which almost all visitors will never come back again. So let's say even if you market well on these websites and that you get a lot of traffic, the money would come at most the first day or two and spiral down to the tubes. It's good to have multiple number of blogs, but if you can't maintain them it is probably best to just do what you can like myself of just maintaining one blog. No one wants to visit a blog with no updates, so yes there are no shortcuts around it.

If you want some serious residual income, do it the safe and long way. Yes it can be a pain sometimes and at times very time consuming but it's all worth it once you get to the top of the hill. Best of luck with all of your blog endeavors! -Swapw

Don't bombard advertisements






It has been sometime since I have gotten back and blog but I'm glad to be back from my brother's graduation and life in CA.

Advertisements are the main income for many bloggers like myself and web sites, but I've seen it done over and over again from both new bloggers and experienced bloggers a fatal mistake that is surprisingly not uncommon and I have decided to talk about it today. We've all seen web sites where advertisements are everywhere in that it completely confuses the readers of where to navigate which causes the most of us to close the window immediately. Other web sites where it provides with very little or no content making the web site seemed very irrelevant and others with good content but so hard to navigate that it eventually loses all of its reader's interest.

Through my video, I do go in depth of why these type of money generating techniques are extremely unsuccessful ways to generating a profit and what you should do to really generate consistent profits over your blog. You might be surprised, sometimes having very good selections in a few advertisements may actually generate more profits then you ever thought it would making it a smart way to generate money!
