Keywords for AdSense or Keywords for Google Search Rankings?

Posted by: dragonblogger  //  Category: blogging

I was engaged in quite a bit of reading and research last week after trading emails with my blogging mentor Damien Riley where we discussed AdSense 101 and leveraging keywords to capitalize on your AdSense earnings.  Thats right, by tagging your blog properly with AdSense efficiency your blog will earn more than if you use lousy keywords.  The problem is a double edge sword actually, since in order to have your AdSense pay higher page per impressions and CPC you have to have the most popular keywords for your blog topic, but to get the best search engine rankings you have to tag your post with keywords that aren’t over utilized or you stand little chance of making the top 10 Google search listings.

I was so heavily focused on choosing keywords and phrases that would keep my blog in better search indexes, I was really neglecting my ability to capitalize on my Google AdSense CPC, which has become much more lucrative for my blogging Yoda over the past several months since he started this new technique of tagging.  Therefore, I have decided to leverage a little bit of both types of keywords in my current and future posts to see if I notice any increased revenue from AdSense over previous months averages. I will continue to perform Keyword Tweaking over the next few weeks and hope I can see some revenue improvements form AdSense. My goal is to reach $100 per month in AdSense earnings by August 2010.

    Now it’s a tough decision! If we choose AdSense, search traffic may go down but if we choose search traffic, revenue will go down!

    I will be keeping both these situations in mind next time when I tag posts.

    And yes, best of luck for your goal. I hope you achieve it soon.

    Thank you, several bloggers have commented that search engine rankings are more important. One other trick is to put links in your post with the “high paying keywords” this will trigger the AdSense higher CPC, while you can still tag your post with the better search indexing tags.

    Thanks, do let me know if you reach your goal of $50 AdSense per month, so far I am at $16.00 for this month, which is fairly good, may be my best AdSense month yet if it keeps this up.

    No, based on the fact that I am earning adsense at around $20 per month now, I am giving myself 1 more year to try and get it increased to $100 per month. I don’t think I made the goal too far in the future.

    I’d go for the higher search rankings and the traffic that it brings – that will also lead to higher adsense earnings. They key is to write about things that people are searching for – and write about them in a way that people search for them. Also write for terms that don’t have a huge amount of competition – yet still have good search volume. So once again, choose a good niche with high paying clicks, write for good SEO and search rankings -and the adsense will follow.

    Well, in theory well chosen keywords from the ADwords tool will cause your posts to come up higher in a search. It walso helps if you have high PR but I have posts on my PR0 blogs that come in at #1. For example, currently I take the top for the boolean search “companies that pay you to blog”

    ADwords is great I’m not sure if its that effective or long lasting. I usually just stick to free SEO and do better than a lot of my friends that waste money on advertisements

    Like I said, I am not paying for AdSense, I am using the free $100 coupon Google gave as part of WebMaster tools, why not use free advertising.

    You cannot earn money without traffic…and the best way to get traffic is by ranking well in Google. So by ranking for your keywords, traffic will come and so will the money.

    PageRank itself does not dictate traffic per say, your pagerank has nothing to do with how much traffic your blog gets. PageRank seems only to be related to how many links back to your site there are online.

    I was thinking more about the strategy of optimizing adsense keywords. I haven’t applied to them yet, but I was considering it, given how attractive their returns are as a whole in advertising.

    Not to mention how heavily vested adsense is in regards to keywords and all of that marketing competition that’s going on, it would seem like a good strategy to take advantage of the words that pay most. :o
