In the next couple of days I will be doing a post on the highest paying keywords that you can sink your monetizing teeth into with your blog or website.
I've had a good friend hand me a list of keywords that are pulling in serious figures for the blogs attacking these niches. Now the majority of these are in very competitive markets, so it's no cake walk - but its certainly nice to know which words are bringing in the big dollars so you can at least have a chance to attack it or you may possibly get lucky are score a ranking somewhere in the top 20.
Either way it's nice to know.
Anyway, I am lying in bed right now on the laptop and after having a few wines, I can't really get motivated to dig the list out and start typing those keywords in
Stay tuned, in the next day or so - all will be told.
(In the meantime, my AdSense revenue still remains strong. I am closing in on $25 USD per day which is great and 1/4 of the way to my target of $100 USD per day)
I have continued to use RubiCon Project for combined advertising here on this blog, however when I tried it on my other sites - the clickthroughs and earnings went WAY down from AdSense. So the content matching from other networks is no where near as good as the AdSense engine at this stage, or at least my niche didn't have relevant ads for those networks at this stage.
Ok, bedtime for me - talk soon
Highest Paying Keywords
Sabathil Harpsicord and Clavichords
I was lucky to meet the lovely Barb Sabathil earlier last week, a friendly visitor that stopped by to help me out with Technorati Promotion. Barb is the daughter of Sigurd Sabathil a 3rd generation harpsichord maker. Her father has been building clavichords and harpsichords for over 50 years, and he also lovingly restores antique pianos. You can reach them on sabathil.and.son@gmail.com for information
on pricing and availability of our instruments.
Bard found me through Facebook, so never underestimate the power of Facebook mmmmmK?
No really thanks again Bard, the response to the mini-comp was great and I did achieve some high Technorati stats. Climbing the mountain that is the big Technorati is long and hard - but results are worth the effort.
Now on to Barb, you can check out her Squidoo lens here which relates to the musical business I was explaining above. A nice well put together len too mind you.

Also what surprised me is the fact that Barb didn't know about EntreCard credits. Ok, so not everyone is going to know about EVERY blog promotion tool, but I thought EC had gone so mainstream that it was common knowledge. Not true, there is still scope for EC growth so getting in now at www.entrecard.com makes good sense.
And finally apologies for the delay in posts, I have really been slack in March and this is probably due to my flagship NRL site coming out of hibernation as we enter winter in the Southern Hemisphere and Rugby League / NRL Results are starting to come in.
Home Hacker; Life Hacking Tips
Home Hacker is a perfectly concise blog and one that gives you the information you need and want without stuffing your face full of ad's and other unwanted stuff.
When Andrew who runs Home Hacker stopped by recently and checkout my Technorati Competition, I was pleasantly surprised to find such a nice blog at his end. Content wise, the blog covers off a lot of life hacking and general IT tips that will make your day to day PC existence much easier.
For example; "I just killed my computer, how do I fix it?" perfect for the home novice or the budding computer repair guy who trundles out to do a few cash repair and fix it jobs in his local area.
The other area I found pretty cool, was Andrews coverage of the general Windows errors and what to do when important files shit themselves or go MIA. Stuff like the ol' HAL.DLL or anything else in your Windows System 32 directory.. Man, scary just thinking about it. I am sure things will get even more stressful under Windows Vista. (We'll leave that for another day!)
Anyway, this is truly a handy blog and one I hope stays around for a long time to come. It seems like Andrew is also a keen EntreCard fan. The popularity of EC continues to grow and users are lining up thick and fast. I look forward to flicking you a stack of EC credits mate, so drop a comment on this thread with your email address for EC or simply email me at asutcliffe@gmail.com
Peace out and thanks for getting in touch.
What is Technorati? Get a free review and ECs
Personally, I don't use Technorati in any other form than just a social bookmarking or promotional tool to push my various websites up the link love rankings.
When I logged in today, I noticed my Technorati Authority has climbed a little - not bad considering I haven't really worked on.
So I thought heck, I am going to do two things. I am going to visit Technorati daily and try and get a greater overall understanding of the service. Forcing myself to visit, will give me a better picture of how it all works and hopefully this will rub off on promoting my sites.
Secondly (as much as I hate competitions) I thought by offering some incentives, I could get some fellow bloggers to add me to their Technorati favourites and boost my standings a little bit.
I want to keep it simple, so here we go:
Add this blog to your Technorati favourites; leave a comment on this post letting me know and possibly send me an email to: asutcliffe@gmail.com - the first 5 people to do so will get 200 EntreCard Credits Each, a return fav in technorati of their blog and also a personal review post of their site.... Sound ok?
Anyone after the first 5 still gets a Technorati fav back and a review / link - just can't provide the EC's ... ;)
Start here by clicking this link to Fav this Blog in Technorati:

Lets do this!
AdSense Growth and SEO Rank
I have started plotting my daily AdSense earnings on a spreadsheet now, so in a months time I will publish it here for all to see. So far in the past few days I have been recording things I am seeing at least a few cents growth every single day.
The good thing about the continued revenue and advertising earnings growth is that it motivates you to continue building your portfolio of online websites and blogs.
I have slowed down on the content creation for most of my sites now and am working hard on SEO Ranking them for the next few weeks.
As I see the sites / blogs move up in the Google SERP's I will then move back to more content creation and vice versa.
At the moment I have a big mix of Owned Domains, Blogspot and Wordpress.com addresses all mixed in. The SEO benefits of the blogspot.com domain are not to be discarded. While so worry they are building PageRank (PR) for a domain they don't own - the flipside is that the Google owned blogspot.com domain is seen in a good light by the Google search engine at least. They rank and get spidered VERY quickly.
For sites where regular content is being displayed, for neatness and repeat visits - you can't go past Wordpress. Harder for newbies to grasp and it does have some little quirks that can take you while - but in the end it's worth it.
I've been doing some charts on my structure of meshed link building, and it really looks scary! I divide it into three sections.
Section 1. A handful of 'base level' or throw away sites. These sites once they are ranking in the search engine are purely used to link and build 'link juice' for the middle range of promotional sites. These 3 to 4 sites only link to around 5-6 mid level promotional sites.
Section 2. Here I have around 5-6 mid level sites, from various domains. Some from blogspot.com, some from orble.com and a few owned domains of mine. With these sites (they have various PR, from 0 to 3) I purely write content and link to my network of 30+ adsense sites. These sites have slightly better quality than the level 1 sites and obviously all hold better link juice and work well from all domains.
Section 3. The Front Line. Here I have 30+ sites all pulling in AdSense revenue. Some of the newer video sites I released in the past month have quickly had 50+ pages spidered by Google which is exciting.
(Now I simply find the strongest and least busiest keywords in each niche and hit them big time with backlinks and cross referencing for best results)
I'd like to hear your thoughts or tips on how you build your network and achieve good results.
BlogRoll Size
What's the most websites anyone can have in their blogroll? Obviously as the amount of sites you maintain grows, trying to keep up with the content can be tough.
You have probably noticed here at 30 Day Man, my posts have dropped right back from a daily occurrence to sporadic at best. This is a direct result of my push to drive my earnings from my AdSense network. I just did some numbers and my list of sites probably exceeds 50 now.
Of this 50, probably only 3 of my websites require daily updating, quality content and maintenance. The rest are fairly static and the maintenance required is more around link building and improving their rankings in the search engines.
My policy recently has been to increase the amount of average websites I have to multiply earnings. 1000 x blogs earning $1 each seems easier than a single blog earning $1000 .. ? Right? Well I am not so sure and I think various people would answer differently.
Do you have a massive portfolio of MFA (Made for AdSense) type websites? Are they earning a good return each day? How fresh is the content? Is it hard to maintain? How do you keep you Google SERPS strong?
I would love to hear from you!

Google Indexing Results
I recently spoke about a software package I bought; Niche Video Sites. A server based software program that allows you (with your own hosting) to launch quick, yet large video sites on particular topics.
A few weeks have passed now since I went live; a few of the sites I created were:
a. Blackjack Strategy
b. Poker Blog
c. Roulette Strategy
Firstly, take a look at these sites by clicking the links above. Then go to google and do a search for (be sure and click - 'repeat the search with omitted results' when Google lists the results - so you get the full listings of the indexed pages)
a. blackjackstrategy.hotonlinecasinos.info
b. pokerblog.hotonlinecasinos.info
c. roulettestrategy.hotonlinecasinos.info
a. You should see 14 indexed pages. Not bad for a thrown up site, it seems after a tiny bit of link building this site has been spidered a little deeper and more pages are being added daily.
b. 27 pages indexed! Amazing. (Remember to click 'omitted results')
c. Close to 60 index pages or at least links or references from other sites including YouTube. (This is a stunning result)
It's certainly been an interesting test and I would recommend the niche video site creation software to others. Having a server based creation client to all the work is great, the only hard part is performing some minor SEO work to boost your content up the rankings.
My AdSense has seen some nice growth, I now average over 3000 hits daily and am managing earnings of $15 a day - which is getting ever closer to my target of $100 US per day.
