Automated Blogs

Filed under: Adsense, Automated, Blogging, Income Steams, Instructional, Writing — Jan @ 2:42 pm

There is lots of information on line about the best way to make money from an automated blog without loosing Adsense. I don’t have the time to thoroughly research it, but I do know it is just a “honeymoon” but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts! Here is my plans and purposes for my blogs

Purpose of the blogs:

  • Provide “basement” (back links) links to my first house that I’m building. My first “house” in my “neighborhood” I’m developing is for Jan’s Group Home Support.
  • Jump-start my income on line. The blogs got me to my second $100 with Adsense so I can get a check next month and I still have rest of the month to add to the total of that check!
  • Try out alternatives to Adsense for income.
  • Find out which blogs make the most money and then develop those keywords.

6-7 week plans for the blogs

Week One-May 11-17, 2008

For each blog I’m doing the following:

  • Income tracking-create Adsense channel for each blog. Since I want to track the blogs as a group, I gave them the same short name and added the numbers 1-10 after each blog so they will show up together on my reports. I added the code for each channel to each of the Adsense ads
  • Traffic tracking-I added a stat counter on each blog. I gave them the same names as the Adsense channels
  • Back links-I added links to the sites I want to support on the floors above the basement. For now I included “roof” site since my house is at the beginning stages. Later I will have that site alone at the top with all the other ones linking up to it similar to a pyramid shape
  • Name each blog
  • Create a folder for each blog and put in the “basement” folder for the house
  • Put a reminder on my Google calendar to take down the Adsense Ads

Week Two-May 18-24, 2008

  • Affiliates-choose three per blog, pick type of add, and safe code in folder
  • Shopping Ads-add one ad to each blog
  • Glance through posts to and save sites that can be a good resource in the future

Weeks Three and Four-May 25-June 7, 2008

  • Start putting alternative ads on blogs (starting with ones that make the most money)

Week Four-May 25-31, 2008

  • Take down Adsense
  • Evaluate income and traffic on each blog
  • Pick top three keywords to develop into simple 6 page sites with Adsense and alternative ads

Weeks Five and Six (and maybe Seven)

  • Write content
  • Buy 3 simple website designs/set up
  • Add sites to second floor on house
  • Set up ads
