Here is the actual method as I posted it on my forum in august 2011, perhaps I'll make updates to it in the next months but honestly from past experience I don't think so..
On my forum you can find a free ebook which contains 4 pages to print, it's just a helpful tool as you go along with my method based on 4 weeks, that's all.
If you want to be paid by AdSense each month for years to come follow my 4 weeks method..
Yes, if you want to be paid by AdSense each month for years to come follow my method, otherwise just keep doing what you've been doing, obviously it works perfectly..
I'm talking about/to people who complain that they're trying hard and not making enough money with AdSense, well to you I say stop right there, I offer you a personal, exclusive method of 4 weeks. It's like a fitness program, you simply have to follow it, imagine you have to do it otherwise you'll be killed, then you'll see that it's not that hard, just need to keep motivated for 4 little weeks, that's 28 days, are you worth it or not?
A bit of warning, don't take offense about my tone, if you think it's arrogant or whatever, because firstly I couldn't care less and if you're offended and don't trust me because of that then you don't deserve to be successful anyway, grow up, welcome to the real world. I'm just direct and I'm not abusive, ok? I just am not a native english speaker, so I have a very limited vocabulary and for the tone it's because I'm a bit fed up reading people complaining when it is really simple to be paid each month by adsense, that's only $3.3 per day, you can't live confortably anywhere on $3.3 per day... You should do several rounds of my 4 weeks method if you're starting really low in your adsense earnings..
I hope you have time because it's going to be quite long to read, but imagine how much time I've spent (wasted?) to write it, so don't whine please.. :-)
To receive a payment by AdSense at the end of next month you need to have earned $100 during the current month. $100 a month is roughly $3.3 per day. Assuming you have a CTR of 5% and an average CPC of $0.1 you need about 30 clicks or 600 ad impressions which is about 400 unique visitors per day (I'm simplifying a lot because it doesn't matter)
So anyway, you see that getting 30 clicks on your pages every day is very easy, but at two conditions, you have to get the required traffic to your pages and so you need
content that will attract people to your pages and secondly you need a correct ad placement so the CTR will easily reach 5%.
So to make things very simple I'm not going to explain everything about the thinking, because I have already talked about it before in my blog and also because it doesn't matter I should get started with explaining my sure method to achieve this simple goal for every months to come.
You have to know that it will mean "working" every day for 4 weeks, but maybe just one hour a day. Can you do it really? If not, stop reading honestly you'll never earn anything, continue what you're doing it's perfect.
So from now on I'll only describe my method and not say why, if you have questions post them in the comments, and also perhaps one day I'll take my method description again and paste it into a new blog post with more details about the why and how this works...
What you need:
- some place to post your content, preferably your own web property (I mean a proper domain name and webhosting, with a CMS installed such as Drupal or WordPress) but if you don't have that you can use my website (Best Reviewer) or blogger, but that is weak and you should be ashamed of yourself. The best advise I can give you is to buy yourself a proper web hosting at Dreamhost ($8.95 per month) which comes with a free domain name, after on the same account you can have more sites with their domain name and you don't pay more (except for the domain name itself, $9.95 per year if you buy it at Dreamhost).. If you don't yet have a web hosting and are not dumb and want to follow my advise then you can use the promo code JAMESCOLIN (when they ask for it on the order form) that will give you $50 off your order. So in fact you're not paying $8.95 per month..

- know the basics of Google Insights:
http://www.google.com/insights/search/#
- install Google Analytics on your site (that's why it's best to have your own proper web hosting, but you can still put it on some places such as blogger, but some don't allow that, bummer!) here's the url for Google Analytics:
http://www.google.com/analytics/
So, in Google Insights you have several categories:
Arts & Humanities
Automotives
Beauty & Personal Care
Business
Computers & Electronics
Entertainment
Finance & Insurance
Food & Drink
Games
Health
Home & Garden
Industries
Internet
Lifestyles
Local
News & Current Events
Photo & Video
Real Estate
Recreation
Reference
Science
Shopping
Social Networks & Online Communities
Society
Sports
Telecommunications
Travel
That's 27 categories, it's handy because my method takes 4 weeks to complete, so that's 28 days, you guessed it, 1 category a day and one day for something else that will involve using Google Analytics, I'll tell you at the end. You can repeat my method every month if you want, but you don't need to, doing my method one time will allow you to receive minimum $100 every month from AdSense, but if you do it again then that will be $200 per month minimum until you die or remove the pages totally from the internet.
So the method is quite simple, I take the category SPORTS as an example and from that example you'll have to use your brain a little bit, it's the same for all categories, remember you'll do one category per day.
So you go to Google Insights and you don't put anything in Search terms input box, you let it empty, on the right you have 4 dropdown lists which default at:
Web Search
Worldwide
2004 - present
All Categories
Change it so it looks like:
Web Search
United States
Last 12 months
Sports
press the button Search on the right. OK, on the next page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at the two lists "Top searches" and "Rising searches"..
For the purpose of this demonstration I'll show you what I get at this moment, it will surely be different when you'll do it yourself, because it will be in the future compared to me (duh!) so:
Top searches
1. football
2. basketball
3. nfl
4. golf
5. sports
6. baseball
7. nba
8. soccer
9. espn
10. club
Rising searches
1. super bowl 2011
2. fb
3. packers
4. bulls
5. giants
6. steelers
7. nba
8. super bowl
9. twitter
10. cricket
The goal will be to choose 1 keyword from each list, so make sure you use your brain and show some creativity here.. First rule to help you, if one keyword is present in both searches, pick this one as the first keyword, so here we see that NBA is in both lists, so I take NBA, then for the second one I would also take another word present in both lists but there is none, so I'm free to choose anyone of the keywords in the two lists, of course you want to choose one nearest to the top of the lists. So I'm making a choice now, I'll pick FOOTBALL.
So now I write down NBA & FOOTBALL that's my first couple.
Now you go back to the top of the page and repeat this process by changing only the period/date, instead of Last 12 months you do it with Last 90 days, you pick one keyword in each list and once more with Last 30 days.
Don't take the same couple of keywords, that is now you have 3 couples of keywords, in my case:
Last 12 months: NBA & FOOTBALL
Last 90 days: GOLF & PGA
Last 30 days: FOOTBALL & FANTASY FOOTBALL
Now, go back to Google Insights again and this time you'll enter something in the search terms. You can put up to 5 search terms, sometimes with 3 couples of keywords you'll have 6 different keywords, but sometimes like in my case you have less, so I can save a few seconds by doing it all in one time and input my five keywords in the Search times input boxes:
NBA
FOOTBALL
GOLF
PGA
FANTASY FOOTBALL
And then set the dropdown lists as follow:
Web Search
United States
2004 - present
Sports
Press Search button and scroll down to the bottom of the page..
Now you need to listen and understand, for each keyword you'll do the same as before, pick two keywords (often they are keyphrases, that is 2 words or more, but there can also be single word keywords) one from each list, if some keywords are in both lists, pick those. If there are numbers in the keyphrases, pretend they don't exist, that is for instance for NBA I get "2010 NBA DRAFT" if I pick this keyphrase I will consider only NBA DRAFT without the year, that's what I mean by using your brain a little.. Also note that above the two lists there is a dropdown list that you use to switch between your inputed keywords, that will show the different lists for each keyword.
So I do this process and here are my results:
NBA & FOOTBALL: NBA DRAFT/ESPN & FOOTBALL SCHEDULE/COLLEGE FOOTBALL
GOLF & PGA: GOLF COURSE/GALAXY GOLF & PGA TOUR/PGA SUPERSTORE
FOOTBALL & FANTASY FOOTBALL: NCAA/NCAA FOOTBALL RANKINGS & YAHOO FANTASY/ESPN FANTASY
So, now we're done with the keyword research, really.. here comes the "hard part" of my method, yes you have to create 3 pages on your site, you can't copy & paste and if you know nothing about the keywords then you'll have to do a little research to at least understand what the acronyms mean.
Write 500 characters minimum (that's characters not words) piece of text about those topics, here's how:
Come up with a title which include the couple of keywords, then write a text by using the 4 keywords per couple as well as the couple of keywords. Short example for my first couple of keywords:
TITLE: Is football better than NBA for TV?
TEXT: I watch a lot of sport on TV and yesterday I found myself asking an old buddy of mine: "what do you prefer watching? Football or NBA?"
He then came up with an interesting theory, that college football was far more superior to any ESPN match on TV because of the length of the number of players and the action.. The fact that those NBA Draft guys are so tall and the court so small make for too heavy TV action with wide angle and zooms, it gives him headaches. Instead the football schedule is very easygoing, well he ended his theory rather confusingly and we then talked about something else..
What do you think guys? Do you prefer to watch NBA or Football on your big screen TV?
OK, I just came up with this text without any effort, I know absolutely nothing about basketball and football, I didn't do any research, but you should, I still don't know what means ESPN, I suppose it is an organisation, and I'm not an english native speaker, so it shows a lot I'm sure, but what do I care seriously, all my keywords are inside and it's good to go if I'm really lazy, if not for a real website I would make a little more effort, look, the same text with keywords in bold:
TITLE: Is
football better than
NBA for TV?
TEXT: I watch a lot of sport on TV and yesterday I found myself asking an old buddy of mine: "what do you prefer watching?
Football or
NBA?"
He then came up with an interesting theory, that
college football was far more superior to any
ESPN match on TV because of the length of the number of players and the action.. The fact that those
NBA draft guys are so tall and the court so small make for too heavy TV action with wide angle and zooms, it gives him headaches. Instead the
football schedule is very easy-going, well he ended his theory rather confusingly and we then talked about something else..
What do you think guys? Do you prefer to watch
NBA or
Football on your big screen TV?
Now, you do this work three times and you're done for the day.. You can do more, and in this case you can choose more couples or more keywords per couple, but don't burn all your energy, it's better to do 3 pages a day for 4 weeks rather than doing 10 pages per day for 3 days and then stop before finishing all the categories. Plus by doing only 3 pages a day, you can allow yourself to write more text per page, more is better. My small text is not enough, I don't know how many characters it has, maybe 500, but 500 is really a minimum and you should know that the more there is the better, simply make up a story and find an angle to talk about the topic that Google Insights gave you for today's category.
I hope by this time you have completely understood what is your daily work, if not then you seriously need to ask a clear and precise question so I can help you understand..
I recommend you set up your site, the categories, and when you're ready you star with the first category Arts & Humanities and write your 3 pages and put them in the Arts & Humanities category of your site. Then share those 3 pages on social media, at minimum you should have a facebook, google plus and twitter account and like/+1/tweet each one of your 3 pages. If you have time left you can digg/stumbleupon/delicious/reddit/etc.
Don't do anything more, don't comment spam or forum spam. No! Just rest, enjoy what is left of your day and wait for tomorrow and start the Automotives category..
Can you do that for 27 days straight? Then what do you do with the 28th day? Easy you open your Google Analytics account and look at the search engine referrers. You want to know what search queries your visitors used on Google in order to come to your site. Granted most of the queries will be for pages that you've done earlier, you might not see queries for the pages you've posted on the 25th, 26th or 27th day, but it doesn't matter, just look at those queries and then take 3 amongst the top 10 queries and create one page for each one with the title having the exact query and the text being an explanation, or anything else, here again you can be creative, repeat that query several times in your text..
If you need an example for that last day, let's say in your top search queries there's one being used by many visitors to get to your site and is « what sport is most popular, nba or football ? » and you want to pick it, ok then you'll create a page that you'll categorize in SPORTS and you'll entitled it exactly the same « What sport is most popular, nba or football ? » then in the text of this page you'll talk about the pros and cons of basketball NBA and football, you can place in a sentence or two the same query again, such as « Many times people ask me, hey guy,
what sport is most popular, nba or football like if I was some kind of sport guru, I tell them that I have no idea and it's up to each individual's own preferences to know if they prefer
nba or
football, ... »
OK I added this small paragraph because I thought I was a little short on the 28th day explanation, but it's very simple really and that's the day where you have the most freedom really. You can also use Google Insights on this day in order to explore really all popular keywords related to the words in the search query and include them all in your text in creative ways, up to you really if you aim for quality that's what you should do, go the extra mile !
You're done!
Look at your adsense account and tell me you're not SO HAPPY, I dare you! :-)
You can then take some rest, relax, enjoy, and maybe start another 4 weeks round to increase your daily earnings even more, by that time honestly it will have already become an habit and the daily chore won't feel so difficult. You may even like it, you masochist! Also you can admit that by now you've learned many little different things that you didn't know before, so you can write better texts in the next round with more ease than on the first round.
You should have now a minimum of 28 * 3 = 84 pages optimized for popular keywords in 27 categories. If you don't have that to show, something went wrong in following my method:-)
Try again !
