One of the strategies for making lots of money with AdSense is so obvious that it rarely gets mentioned: build lots of Web pages. Thats pretty obvious, right? The more Web pages you have, the more opportunity youll have to show ads -- and the more clicks youll get. And yet a lot of AdSense sites on the Web are fairly small, just a few pages with ads on each. If youve created a site to sell a product or discuss a topic that you find interesting, thats understandable. Your sites the thing and the ads are just a way to help pay for it. But for those sorts of sites, a magazine could be an excellent solution. So, for example, if you had a website about mortgages to promote your lending business, you might only need half a dozen pages to describe each of your services. But you could also add a magazine that was filled with articles about interest rates or how to choose the right type of mortgage or buying a home or whatever you wanted. You could write those articles yourself, hire writers to do it for you or invite Realtors or other people in related businesses to submit pieces and receive some free publicity in return. Youd benefit by offering your users more content. And of course, youd make money by having more places to put your ads. One option that might have made it easier for people to create their own magazines is the iJoomla Magazine component. If you used Joomla (the old Mambo program) to build your website, then you might be familiar with it already. I have to admit, I havent used it. But I have heard that since it came out a couple of months ago, its been flying off the shelves. Its supposed to make creating the layout for a magazine an absolute breeze. All you have to do then is slip in the content. If you can lay your hands on enough of that, you should have a bumper site ready to roll in minutes. It sounds like it could be a good solution for people with small sites who want more pages to place their ads on. But like I said, I havent tried it so if any of you have, lets hear the results! |
