Many of you know I like earning passive income from Adsense. I’m totally in favor of making “hands free” money… in fact, it’s like the holy grail of making money… it’s how the very rich make money… they put their piles of cash to work for them and let their money earn interest payments on cash and dividend payments on shares… passive, hands-free income.
Most of us aren’t amazingly rich, so we need to find another way to earn “hands free” money… and Adsense is the best way I’ve found so far.
(”Adsense” is a Servicemark of Google. “Adsense” is the most well known example of what is more correctly called “contextual advertising”. But I’ve found that people only know what I’m talking about if I talk about “Adsense”, not “contextual advertising”!) 
Here’s a link to sign up for Adsense if you don’t have an account… it’s free…
OK, so I was making some money from Adsense on a few sites… one of which is quite a large directory site. It was basically neglected and just sitting there in Cyberspace, so I threw Adsense ads at it and was making a few dollars… it was fun… a small-time example of “hands free” income.
Then, at the beginning of this month, I used a few tricks to make better use of the Adsense ads… to try to get more clicks from the same number of visitors. I didn’t think the tricks would work very well… but they did! I used the “CPM” method to do a direct comparison of the amount of money I was earning per thousand page impressions… my small tweaks had DOUBLED the earnings per thousand page impressions. Basically, if the traffic stayed the same, I would earn double what I was earning before… each day… twice the amount of money.
Now this applies whether you’re earning $1 per day or $1,000 per day… if you double the CPM you have doubled the amount of money you earn per page impression and, if the traffic stays the same, you’ll double your monthly earnings!
What’s really interesting is that I did what I’d call some “basic tweaks”… nothing too clever and all totally legitimate. But today I was shown an advance preview of a series of movies created by a friend of mine who takes Adsense very seriously. He should, he’s earning $19,000+ per month from Adsense!
In his movies he shows how he uses really clever tweaks to maximize his CPM… and his stuff made my tweaks look like kindergarten playtime! This guy earns his $19,000+ per month from only 10 websites… so he must be getting the absolute maximum clicks from his site… and now I know why… his tweaks are bringing in clicks by the truckload!
OK, so I’d love to tell you where you can get these movies, but they’re not available yet… as soon as I can let you know, I will. Stay tuned to this blog!
Until then… I’m off to go and apply some of his “clever tweaks” and see if I can’t double my CPM again!
(by the way, these tweaks are totally legitimate and Google-friendly)
