5 Easy Steps to Getting Your Adsense Account

In this module,I've outlined the first step you need to take to get approved for Google Adsense.

Step 1: Go to Blogger.com and sign up for your free account.

Why Blogger? Here are 3 reasons why: (1) You need a blog or a website to run Adsense ads on and Blogger makes it as easy as 1...2...3 to create your own blog, publish it and run Adsense ads on them; (2) Google loves content from Blogger blogs. And in case you didn't know, Google owns Blogger; and (3) my favorite reason - it's FREE! (note: a free hosted blog is cool to get your Adsense publisher ID and/or to test your niche ideas. But as you develop your blog, get more traffic and make money from it, you'll definitely want to get your own "dot com" domain name and your own web host.

What you're doing here is creating a Google account - enter an existing e-mail address, create a password at least 6 characters in length and enter the name you want to use when you sign your blog posts.

Just go to Blogger.com right now and get your account set up today.

In Step 2, you will choose a name your blog and the URL for it. So be sure to check back soon.

Before we go on to Step 2, I'm going to give you links to 3 of the coolest, free but powerful keyword research tools available online. These tools will help you research and analyze keywords that you want to target for this project.

SEO Book keyword suggestion tool

This is one of my favorite free keyword research tools because it pulls data from MSN, Yahoo!, Google, Wordtracker, news research, blog searches, tag searches, directories and a whole lot more.

Google External Keyword tool

This is my favorite keyword tool because you can create massive keyword lists (by search term or by website URL) using Google's own data. And Google recently added actual search volume numbers instead of those dumb shaded search volume bars. Do I really need to say any more?

Free Keyword Suggestion Tool from Wordtracker

With the free keyword suggestion tool from Wordtracker.com you can generate up to 100 keyword results that reflect the daily search estimates for those keywords. You can use this tool together with Google's external keyword tool to zero in profitable keywords for Adsense that you can get good search engine rankings for.

In the next module, we're going to take the second step to getting you approved for Google Adsense.

Take a little time to research this and give some thought to selecting a name for your blog and choosing a URL because .....

the name and URL should be unique and should include your primary keyword phrase

both should be on point for your topic based upon your keyword research data

For example, if your topic is " training tips for Dobermans ", then you might want to name your blog "Training Tips for Dobermans". You might want to use http://training-tips-for-dobermans.blogspot.com or http://trainingtipsfordobermans.blogspot.com as the URL (note: the hyphen [-] is the only non alphanumeric symbol that can be used in creating a URL for a blogspot).

In the next module, I'm going to show you how to bring your blog to life and make it look more like a website.

If you want to make your blog look more like a website and "pimp out" the template to make it more appealing to the eye, I'm going to show you where you can get some cool Blogger templates and a cool script that can make your blog stand out!

Step 3: Now it's time for you to select a template to bring your blogspot to life!

When you set up your blog in step 1, you probably noticed that Blogger has a number of pre-made templates for you to choose from and use. The default template is Minima and if you want to change it, just click on the one you like the most and save it. You can easily change your template anytime you want.

If you find the regular Blogger templates to be a bit too boring for your tastes, you can change them. You should definitely check out JackBook.com's Blogger templates to make your blog more attractive to your visitors. I discovered the site while doing a Google search for "free blogger templates" and found a very clean 3 column template that I use for the majority of my Blogger blogs. Go to JackBook.com's Blogger templates gallery to select a template that catches your eye. And I hid that dorky Blogger navigation bar that appears at the top of your blogspot by adding a cool little script that I discovered at Derya's WebResource.axd. Just copy and paste the script below the head tag in the HTML of your blog's template (don't forget to save it).

(Note: Before making any changes to your blog's template, you should save a copy of it on your computer. That way if you mess something up, you can easily restore it. It will also save you time when setting up new blogs.)

You can also add or delete page elements or change the fonts & colors of your blogspot from the Template tab under Edit Layout.

We've covered quite a bit of info with these 3 steps, but you should be able knock them out in no time at all. 15-30 minutes tops.

In the next module I'm going to show you how to create the content you will need to get approved for Google Adsense.

Step 4: Create your content!

Here are 3 tips I want to share with you on creating the blog content you need to get approved for Google Adsense:

Tip No. 1: Stay clear of Spam topics

Don't choose topics like debt consolidation, Mesothelioma , or credit card debt as blog topics to get your Adsense publisher ID. BUT make sure you choose a topic that's commercial enough for big G to run/show ads on it. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by entering your topic in Google's search bar and seeing if there are any Adwords advertisers showing up on the right side of the search results. If you don't see any ads or there a just a few, go back to the drawing board an pick a more commercial topic.

Tip No. 2: Don't keyword stuff your blog posts

Don't over use your primary keyword phrase in your posts. A good formula to follow is to have your primary search term appear in the title of the post, in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the first sentence, in the middle paragraph and in the last sentence of the last paragraph of the post.

Tip No. 3: Write 3 - 4 solid posts for your blog

By "solid" I mean informative. You're going to publish to your blog every other day. For example, if you make your first post on Monday, you'll make your second post on Wednesday and your third post on Friday.

You could do what I did as an alternative. I created 2 detailed, informative posts on my subject. I spaced the posts 2 days apart, added a detailed topic related "About" page and added an RSS feed covering news about my topic. The day after I made the second post, a Saturday, I applied for my Adsense publisher ID. I was approved the same day.

The key to getting approved on my first attempt? I believe the key to my getting my Adsense publisher ID was the quality of my content, which was a direct result of my in-depth knowledge of my topic and just a teeny little bit of writing ability :-).

4 easy steps down, 1 last step to go to get approved for your Adsense publisher ID.

What do you do if you feel that you can't write or don't know enough about any subject (which is pretty hard for me to believe)?

Use PLR

Everyone has PLR (private label rights) articles on their PC. Don't let your private label rights content gather digital dust on your hard drive; put it to use now. Just be smart about it - put in the work and do a rewrite of the PLR. Some experts say do a 35% rewrite and others say do 50-55%. I personally do at least a 80% rewrite on all PLR articles. It's more work, but it's worth it and I don't have the problems other marketers have when using private label rights content. Run your rewritten article through DupeFreePro to compare it against the original article - it will give you this information in percentages. This free software will also check your rewrite against other articles that are indexed in the search engines.

If you have low quality PLR, PLRWholesaler is an excellent private label rights membership that offers PLR articles, ebooks, reports, software, etc. and right now you can get a VIP membership to PLRWholesaler for free.

If you don't know how to use PLR the right way, this page will help you discover some smart tips on how to use PLR the right way.

Use GistWeb together with Google search.

GistWeb is a free tool that can give you the summary or "gist" of a web page's content. You can also use it with web search summaries. It's very easy to use and it can help you with creating content for your Blogger blog. But don't get lazy and use the Gist summary as is! Rewrite it in your own words and run the rewrite through DupeFreePro to make sure your rewrite is unique when compared to the Gist summary.

If you're really stuck and can't come up with a commercial topic, scan Google Hot Trends and the original Yahoo! Buzz log. When you discover a hot commercial topic, run it through your keyword research tools to get an idea of the estimated daily and monthly searches, as well as an estimate of the number of clicks the term gets per day. Then run the search term through GistWeb to generate content ideas.

Play the Adsense Game
