OK, so I’ve spent a lot of time today researching into different things I could be trying out and I’ve decided on what I’m going to be doing next.  I actually found 2 things I could potentially focus my attention on:

#1.  Building Hubs For Adsense

The idea for this comes from Court’s 100 Hubs in 30 days challenge at the Keyword Academy.  I’m sure you’ve all seen it by now, but in case you have not, here it is:

http://thekeywordacademy.com/

What I’m going to be doing is finding keywords that I’ll be able to rank for that have a high CPC and good amount of searches, then create Hubs for these keywords.  I will then interlink my related hubs and eventually when they’re all build, work on building backlinks to them.

The main way I’ll be building backlinks to these hubs I’m thinking is through runs of UAW and/or using Steve’s backlinks to create 10-11 hub backlinks at a time via site blogrolls.

There is a revenue share of 60/40 here, with 60% of the adsense impressions going to YOU, so by piggybacking off of the authority of Hubpages and building backlinks to them, you can make some good rankings in google and then earn yourself some good amounts of Adsense money.  You can also put in Ebay or Amazon ads and potentially earn some comissions from big ticket items.

Now, the second idea I had was:

#2. Angela’s GoArticle + Backlinking Technique

If you haven’t heard of this one, find out more about it here:

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/83987-free-warrior-special-offer-few-simple-principles-can-make-you-400-000-more-per-year.html

Basically the idea is to post articles up on GoArticles(which get IMMEDIATELY posted, there’s no waiting involved), then begin building backlinks to them so they rank up on page 1 of Google.  Apparently GoArticle articles are more responsive to backlinking attempts, more so than EzineArticles.  Not only this, but you can put links in the article in the body and you can link directly to the affiliate sales page!  Angela mentions that she has often put up an article, done a backlinking run through one of her packets(30 backlinks), then woken up the next day to see the article on page 1.

After thinking it over, I’ve decided I’m going to do BOTH of these approaches.  Building sniper sites is an amazing way of making money, and I’m so glad I was able to find something that actually works, however I do believe at the same time that there is a better way of getting this done…I don’t want to have to build 200 Sniper Sites to only get 2k/month…Granted that’s nothing to scoff at, however, I believe there are other methods that will be even more effective and with less out of pocket expense (not that I wouldn’t pay 2k/year for 200 domains in order to earn 24k/year)….

It will be interesting to see how my sniper sites end up doing as they age and as UAW continues to build backlinks for them, maybe they will improve and bring in more $$, who knows?

In the meantime, I’m going to be trying these 2 techniques…

I’m going to give each technique a fair shot…

Already today I have decided that instead of making adsense sniper sites out of the 19 keywords I recently found, I’ll use those keywords to make Hubpages.  I’ve so far come up with a swipe file for me to use for material to write up these hubs and I’ve written up 2 600-700 word articles so far for 2 of the keywords.

When I get around to using Angela’s technique, I’m probably going to start by just using some of my existing Ezine Articles and posting them over to GoArticles so I can build backlinks to them over there.  Angela has mentioned this should work perfectly fine…that you do not have to come up with new content all together.  Whatever has the most/best backlinks will end up ranking higher.

By the way, I’m very much past the whole not being able to own all your money making web properties…this is what stopped me from trying something like this before.  All that matters is what works and what puts money in the bank account.  I’m going to keep the # of hubpages per account to maybe 10-30 per account, but I’m not going to worry about any of them getting shut down..I’m not putting all my eggs in 1 basket…Too often fear stops people from taking action, as long as the overall trend is an increase in my bank account, that’s all that matters…

Earnings For Today:

• $54.25 – 2 Sales, $27.12, $27.13 from the main sniper site niche
• Adsense = $10.63 – I believe this is my biggest Adsense day so far…Adsense income seems to have gone up ever since the Google PR update
• Hops = 446

UPDATE

******************************************************

George of Google Sniper recently came out with a personal coaching WSO that I’ve signed up to, I couldn’t turn that one down considering how much I had been following along with his tactics and considering I’m looking for some new direction.  I will STILL be doing the above until I FULLY learn what George and Alex have to teach and how to implement it…

www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/91866-live-coaching-let-2-super-affiliates-personally-coach-you-step-step-making-1-000-month.html

This should be interesting, I’ll report back here on how it works out , but again, I will be still doing the above in the meantime!

Today I didn’t do too much other than work on setting up my site so I’ll take this time to go over what has been going on the last 5 or so days.

As of right now, I have created 29 sniper sites…I also have 13 more domains registered in 2 different niches that I have yet to turn into sniper sites.  The 29 sniper sites plus my 8 main authority sites = 37 sites total.

Now to give you an idea of the kind of hops these sites are generating, have a look at my hop count for today:

These are my tracking id’s in Clickbank.  No Tracking Code + Null are for my authority sites with Clickbank products (Site#1 – Site #5).  Out of the 42 hops there, about 26 are for Site #1, 3 for Site #2 and 13 for Site #3.  The rest of the 48 hops are for my sniper sites!

It’s crazy, I think today is the first day the sniper site hops have been MORE than the hops I got for my main authority sites.  Before I was only getting an extra 20 or so hops from them.  BTW, today is also a record for the # of hops, I’ve never had 90 hops in 1 day before.

So, aside from all that, I should mention that I got 2 more Sniper site sales in the past 5 days…1 was yesterday for $31.85(new niche) and the other was today for $20.04…this makes for 8 Sniper Site sales within the last 30 days for a grand total of $172.13.

What’s interesting to note is that the site that got the $31.85 commission has only gotten 3 hops IN TOTAL before getting the sale and the sniper site that got $20.04 today has gotten 28 hops total in it’s lifetime and yet got *3* sales!

It’s insane…I looked over those sites to try and see why the conversion could be so high and I realized that when I read my own copy, it actually read quite well, better than some of my other sites, so I believe that has something to do with it…it could also be the keyword though.

I don’t always get results like that though.  One of my Sniper Sites that gets a ton of hops (104 in the last month) has had 2 sales which isn’t too bad and then there is one that has had 126 hops yet only 1 sale…Then of course I have a boatload of other sniper sites that have anywhere from 3-36 hops so far without a sale.

Now I started creating these sites around March 26th and most of the 29 I have were created within the last month, so I think it’s still too early to be thinking I should be getting more returns for my efforts.

One thing I’ve noticed is just how HUGE a difference going from position 5-10 on page#1 up to position 1 on page 1 can make.  1 of my sniper sites today was able to make that transition and rather than getting the usual 1-3 hops a day it instead got 12 hops today being at #1!

I’ve decided recently that I’d slow down on the site creation for the time being and work on building backlinks to these 29 sites I’ve already created.  I’m planning on doing a Unique Article Wizard run on them, maybe covering 2 sites per article I submit with UAW….Then after that, I’ll submit backlinks for the sites via Steve’s backlinks(similar to Angela Edwards’ links).
There’s more I want to talk about but this has gotten kinda long so I’ll go over the other stuff in the next post :>

Earnings For Today:

• 1 sale for a sniper site = $20.04
• 1 sale for Site#1 = $26.20
• Adsense = $4.30

Here’s a visual look at my sales over the past little while:
