Earnings from Google AdSense without earning the SERPS

The traditional technique to succeed with Google AdSense is to create enough content on your website to get into the first few pages of search engine results pages (SERPS). This would allow you to get hundreds or thousands of free visitors every day. There is a BIG problem with this… getting on the first three pages of Google, Yahoo or Bing is HARD! There is another (often overlooked) way to profit and thrive using Google AdSense.

The technique you can use is to distribute your content between your website or blog and the article directories. Your site will have AdSense ads on it. The way this works is that article directories allow you to have a link to your site in the resource box. When someone reads your article, they have the opportunity to click through to your site to learn more about your niche. AdSense ads can be clicked on your site.

I know what you might be thinking, “isn’t this just article marketing?” The answer to that question is “sort of.” Article marketing is generally discussed in terms of affiliate marketing, that is, driving traffic to a vendor’s website and earning a commission on a sale.

This technique is superior for two reasons:

Reason 1: You get paid per click with AdSense

You get paid every time someone clicks on an ad. This is in contrast to affiliate products where you only get paid if the vendor makes a sale. Clicking on an AdSense ad means less engagement with a visitor than making a purchase, and many people will click on an ad and not make a purchase. Using this technique you can benefit from that. You can also start making money much faster than just promoting affiliate products.

Reason 2: You can target very high value keywords and topics

There are some keywords that cost a mind-blowing $15 to $30 per click! Wouldn’t it be nice if we could participate in some of that? With this promotion technique, you can drive people to your site that addresses these high-value keywords and topics.

If you drove 500 people to your site and 3% clicked on an AdSense ad and earned $10 per click, you would still walk away with (500) x (3%) x ($10) = $150.

Keep in mind that this technique is also helping your search engine rankings by building backlinks, so you still have a chance to earn the SERPS. You can also use the immediate infusion of cash to hire a writer to create more articles and drive more people to your site. Finally, you can expand this technique to create videos, podcasts, and social networking sites.
