The Death of Adsense Blog Post

csandb • 5th Oct 2006 • General, Google

In my last post I blogged about a new report out called The Death of Adsense. I anticipated that it would become fairly popular so I set out to get my blog post ranked in Google for the term “The Death of Adsense” and added an affiliate link to the post so that I would have some incentive to get my post to rank high. I was pleasantly suprised to see that a week after I blogged about the report my blog post was in the top ten in Google for the terms “The Death of Adsense”, “Death of Adsense”, and “Adsense Dead” for which I currently rank 3rd, 2nd, and 1st respectively. I have been getting quite a bit of traffic from the ranking and have gotten several referals because of it. It’s too bad I only got $0.50 per referral. However, it was kind of fun to be able to just say “I want to rank high for this” and then just go out and do it. Sorry, if it sounds like I am bragging too much.

Anyway, In the follow up to The Death of Adsense entitled Life After Adsense, Scott Boulch reveals his system for making money without Adsense, Click Flipping, where one simply signs up for affiliate programs and send traffic through optimized Adwords campaigns. The key to making money doing this to track each individual keywords conversion and only run with keywords that are turning a profit.
