You know, many people don’t realize that its a very wise and powerful thing to do is to re-source their old content. Hell, even the mighty Ezine Articles has been advising us to do that. Take an old article, re-write and you get some new SEO link juice from it. I do it all the time and usually it turns out pretty good. It gets hard to keep coming up with new and fresh ideas sometimes.

Later, gotta get back to doing some work.

Make it a great day or should I say have a remarkable day. Ok I had to just add that one time. me bad..lol

Wow, a another great post and very informative.

Ok my 2 cents worth. Well maybe 3 cents today…

I agree that 1 of the keys to dominating any internet marketing arena is to understand your market. I have always looked at the total search results and use G’s keyword tool. However, what I found helpful for me today was looking at the total approx dollar value within a market and I have not done before until you showed me how to connect the dots and make that calculation.

The other aspect that I found helpful was your focus about for each of us establishing our Unique Selling Point. I have been guilty of this in the past with some sites by adding content that was only ok. Over the past year, I have increasingly been writing good quality content for a number of my sites that I want to have as authority.

The other interesting point in reading your Grizzly like post (lol) and hopefully helpful for your readers is that internet marketing takes time. Yes, finding smaller less competitive terms is ideal in many cases to make money faster, but that is part of the whole internet mindset problem. People see someone like Griz or Ben or yourself making some good coin and they think, oh slap up a website, put some re-hashed content up and they are now making money. Its like the 1 night stand mindset with no real purpose or intent for a long term commitment. Either way folks, if you want it, you will have to work for it. Or from the Kevin Costner movie – if you build it,they will come. you know that really is true today as it was in the movie many years ago. Build up a quality site and people will find you and pay attention.

Personally, Leo I have both small type niche sites, but have a few real authority sites, but intend to bring up 2 or 3 more over the next year. But in doing so, the one thing that resonated for me was that I will ensure that on those sites, they will have good long quality (or should I say Remarkable) posts.

Make it a great day

P.S. Are you trying to rank for the term remarkable? ok I couldn’t resist (lol)

Thanks for the compliments. I dunno if I am deserving but thank you. To answer your question, yes, adsense rates would most likely be higher in the make money online niche as the users are usually more likely to be enticed by the ads promising the world. However, as Grizzly found out, when you are dealing with a market that is used to purchasing product online such as the MMO niche and yes, the internet marketing niche, pushing affiliate products will greatly outweigh adsense earnings.

And if Grizzly was smart (he is a master at SEO and adsense…his marketing prowess may be lagging behind…), he would have already leveraged his **FAME** for bigger bucks. Then again, that would destroy his MO at this point, I guess. At any rate, he is doing pretty good just doing what he is doing, if you ask me.

Every niche has a different set of rules depending on the market. If you were ranking in the credit card or webhosting niche, it would be absolutely dumb to place adsense on your site since you could make an absolute killing from the affiliate offers. On the other hand, a general fishing or surfing site may do better with adsense. And when it comes to the entertainment market, who could resist those juicy CPA offers for email submits…..

It is very true what you say – grizzly is a social blogger in combination with seo, answering comments, being friendly and all that stuff. And I find it interesting how many comments grizly gets with his 3k subscribers compared to 120k+ subscribers of darren rowse (around same but with darren lots more subscribers).

And your predictions have been very good if you didint rewrite this post, because griz did indeed get that #1 spot just when you predicted it as far back as 9 months ago!

When you compare the make money online terms with internet marketing, your estimations might be flawed a little(i think, probably its just me), woudnt you think that people searching internet marketing are already more aware about adsense and ads and would be less likely to spend money and there would be lower click throuhg rates? than those make money online ads?

Thanks for the great free lesson!

As an aside, when you start getting into more and more competitive markets who use PPC, you will notice that the ad itself in a lot of cases is nothing more than a loss leader.

Where did you learn about lifetime value, metrics, cost per conversion? Would like to look more into understanding metrics. Like you said, if we took a more methodical approach, and knew on average the cost per conversion, I bet I could grow sales exponentially, but I think lots of IMer’s out there keep throwing at the wall, but never come back to optimize.

I myself and guilty of that…
