I started this challenge about six weeks ago with the aim of making money from Adsense so I could be stop spending every waking hour wondering how I was going to make a living without having to go back to working for someone else. At the time I didn’t have much of an idea about what direction my efforts would take me, other than having devoured much of Grizz’s writings over at his Make Money Online For Beginners website. Grizz’s articles gave me the drive I needed to commit myself to this game full time and the belief that it was possible to succeed. What I did find was that with all the information that was available on that site for free I started to get information overload and was wondering where to start on my journey.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, Grizz’s site pointed me in the direction of the Keyword Academy where I have really found everything I need to give my make money quest a push in the right direction. The plan of action set out at the Keyword Academy has allowed me to really concentrate on the things that matter without worrying about what I should be doing on any given day. I just blindly follow the advice of two guys who have been down this path before, as long as their theories are correct then I shall be counting a vast amount of pennies before long

Problems With My Approach To Making Money With Adsense

When I started this blog I had illusions of getting my Adsense Income to $50 a day by the 1st of July but I know realize I was being overly optimistic. It takes time for sites to mature and climb up the Google rankings so even if I turn out to be building sites that are successful, it will take a few months to see the returns.

For the moment I need to keep my head down and churn out the sites in the belief that the work I am doing now is going to turn into money in the future.

Mini Update On Adsense Income

My Adsense Income seems to be rising very slowly at the moment although at least things are moving in the right direction. What I can say on a positive note is that I feel like I’ve been putting some quality work into my niches both old and new over the last month. With any luck this concerted effort will start to pay dividends in a month or two.

Cool Making Money Online Site To Check Out

I’ve got a friend who is writing some great content over at hub pages at the moment some of which is geared towards helping us make money online. One page you all might find especially helpful is her Make Money Writing Hub, check out it and see if you can’t learn something!

As I mentioned in the last post my server was hacked. Well I never managed to get it sorted out so I moved all my sites over to a new Hostgator reseller account which was a bit of a pain in the arse but after a few days I’ve got all my sites back up and fully functioning. The Hostgator looks pretty cool and seeing as it a reseller account rather than my own server I’ll be able to concentrate fully on making money with adsense rather than sorting things out behind the scenes.

I’ve got a new site up and running in the fitness niche which I have been working on when I’ve had time.

What I’ve Done So Far On My New Adsense site in the fitness niche:

1. Set up a blog on my Hostgator Account which I have added 5 posts to.

2. Written and submitted an article to ezinearticles.com with 2 links back to my main money account.

3. Built 2 blogger blogs with links back to my main adsense money site.

4. Built a Squidoo lens and a Hub Page with links back to my main adsense money site.

5. I haven’t added Adsense to the site yet as its not getting any visitors and I’ve heard that adding Adsense too quickly can affect your SERP ratings although I’m not sure how much truth is in the rumor. I’ll probably add the Adsense as soon as I start seeing some traffic.

How I build the first links to a new site

1. Signed up for an account with Unique Article Wizard which I have heard great things about regarding its ability to get quality backlinks to your sites. It certainly looks good so far with a couple of sites already showing increased incoming links. I’ll write more about this in the future if I start to see improvements in my search engine results.
