Double Adsense Income (Part 2)

This post is the Part 2 from the last post "Double AdSense Income". I will tell you about another two techniques I discovered.

4. Social Bookmarking Sites
Another powerful techniques to get traffic and make more money from Google AdSense is using Social Bookmarking Sites. Social bookmarking sites are websites with a lot of topics and bookmarks. It works almost like pinging services.

Some Social Bookmarking Sites enable users to Submit Articles and some allow users to interact with each others. Social bookmarking sites are a great source of traffic. Thousands of people are using such service. Some people use it to "Bookmark" their favourite sites, some just ant to share their ideas and opinions with people in the bookmarking sites, some people wish to share and help others and some want to get traffic to their blog from Social Bookmarking Sites.

There are hundreds and thousands of them on the internet. You do not need to find it your own, I have do some research and create a list for you.
These social bookmarking sites have great source of topics and traffic. Use them properly and get the traffic to your blog.

*The list is quite long and if you are going to submit to them 1-by-1, it is quite time-consuming but it really wort your effoet to do so. Don't be lazy. ;-)

5. Creating Contents
I found that when I wrote new posts to my blog, the numbers of visits and time of visits will be different. Sometimes the number of subcription also changes when I create a new post.

I tried to find the favourite topics my readers like and try to write more. This way can help me get more readers and I can help them with the topics they have problem with.

So, try to get to know more about your readers. Create contents that are useful to them. This is mutual benefit because your readers get to solve their problems and you can get their subscriptions.

Double AdSense Income

Lately, I tried a lot of techniques to increase my AdSense Income. It is a tough but great experience for me. I tried modifications like changing the blog's template, creating videos, searching for new ideas for AdSense, changing the look of AdSense Ads and so on. It is really time-consuming and it worth my efforts.

My experience few days ago bring my AdSense Income to new height. My AdSense Income comes to double. Normally, I can earn around $1.50 per day from AdSense. After the tough experience few days back, my AdSense Income per day jump to $3.00 and more per day.

This is great because if the AdSense Income per day is $3.00 (or more) per day, I can generate $100.00 per month and get a cheque from AdSense every month. I just received my AdSense cheque few weeks ago, now I'm heading towards another one. AdSense is a great program and I get some pocket money from it without paying even a penny.

You might be asking "How I do it?", "How I get $3.00++ per day?" and so on.

How Do I Get $3.00++ per day from Google Adsense?
It is quite easy but also quite tough and time-consuming. If you are willing to spend time sitting in front of your computer and do all the things I mentioned below, you can earn more than $3.00 per day. Trust me!

1. Join a lot of Forums.
Joining forums. You might think "Bullshit! Everyone knows about this.". You are right but not everyone are willing to do it. (I'm the one that is lazy to do it.)

I tried to join around 15 Google Groups and 5 forums. These forums are the source of my traffic and the source of clicks. In these forums, I can place my "Signature". In the signature, I will place the link to my blog. So, this can help people to find your blog and generate GREAT clicks on the AdSense Ads.

It is important that you find good forums with a lot of active users and enable you to use Signature for every reply you done in the forum. With a lot of active users, you can interact and get reply very fast. This indirectly help you to create good relationship and create your reputation in the forum.
**Try to be friendly, do not be rude and offensive. People will not visit your blog if you are rude and offensive.

Introduce yourself and your blog in the forums and this can help you get a lot of traffic to your blog.

Good Forums:
DigitalPoint Forum
Google Groups
Blogger Forum

2. Less Is More Technique
What is this technique? It means that you place less AdSense Ads on your blog and it can help you generate more earnings. Is this possible? Yes.

Google is very popular with the Smart Pricing technology. It is a technology that can hep Google earn more money but you get lower earning per click. Smart Pricing technology will arrange the Ads in the AdSense block from the most expensive Ads to cheaper Ads. So, the highest paying Ads will be the first in the AdSense block. With less AdSense block, you are actually getting clicks on higher paying Ads,. So, you will get a lot of earnings even though the clicks are less.

**Important : Less is more!!! If you are getting a lot of traffic and a lot of clicks but earnings are not very impressive, remove the AdSense Ads from your blog for 1 day to reduce Smart Pricing. Paste the 1 AdSense code again after 1 day. The more expensive Ads will appear and you can make more from every click.

This technique help me to double my AdSense Income. You can be the next to DOUBLE your AdSense Income too.

3. Ping! Ping! Ping!
No matter how good your blog is, no matter how good your articles/posts is, if you don't use proper technique to tell others about it, no one will know about it. So, I use Pinging Services.

This is a good way to get some visitors to your blog and read your posts/articles. Pinging Services are very good because you can tell all the people/bloggers in the pinging services about your blog and your posts. You are increasing visibility of your blog and gain more visitors.

If you decide to create a blog to earn money from AdSense and don't tell anyone about it, then you are wasting your time. You need to tell the world about your blog. This is the way to get clicks and make money from AdSense. Make your blog as popular as possible, the traffic will come automatically, your AdSense Income will also increase automatically.

So, make it a habit to ping your blog and ping your posts everytime you update it. Get the traffic and generate the most MONEY from Google AdSense.

*I will write more tips on my next post because it will be too long to write all of it in this post.
