Neobux Is Win + Google Sniper Review (and more) falling + Adsense Improvements

Alright, this is going to be a particularly long post, so I decided I'd open it with a particularly awesome picture- Veritas is a manwha (Korean version of manga/comics, basically, not sure at all what it means so don't ask; that may be the wrong spelling...) that deals with martial arts. The main character becomes the apprentice of one of the most powerful (and douchey) martial artists alive. A few months after he gets some training, his master leaves and ends up getting killed by another group of martial artists that have actually founded a school to teach forbidden and deadly techniques. The plot is so complicated that you would expect the story and character interactions to be more interesting, but it's really not. That said, it's a good manwha with tons of awesome action scenes and this isn't a review of Veritas anyway, so onward with the post!

So I missed last week, but I should have told you guys that my Google Sniper Review. Is slowly eeking its way up, even as my ranking for Google Sniper scam falls. Oh, and I'm apparently on the second page for the more common, yet less targeted "Is Google Sniper a Scam". Needless to say, I'm going to plug Google sniper review, Google Sniper Scam, Is Google SNiper a scam, a few times in this post. Either I lose all ranking or I dominate a few terms. My guess is that I'll dominate given that this blog is pretty targeted, even though it's not powerful, and Google Sniper or a variation (like George Brown's Google Sniper) aren't really competitive key phrases. Maybe I'll even get a double listing if I plug my review of my Google Sniper Review, but I doubt that.

Anyway, all my other rankings are also slipping. My blog that was ranking 4th for its keyterm (that got a solid 300-500 searches a month and brought in some sales every now and then) dropped like a stone 10 spots. Okay, so that wasn't that big of a deal as some new guys are horning in on the niche posting Ezine articles (which you wouldn't have to do according to Google Sniper- is Google Sniper a scam then? No, it's not, I'm just plugging the term) that will rank high for this month, then they should drop. What really pissed me off is that I was on the second page, result number 11, for the shorter tail of this key phrase that got 2900 searches per month. I was hoping I'd move up not down. And man did I move down. I was result 45 yesterday, but now I'm back to 33 (according to rank checker, which is really wishy washy- I change rankings like, every two hours according to it). My other site, built in the perfect manner following George Brown's Google Sniper teachings (even down to the Youtube video) has seemingly stabilized at position 30 for its 3000 a month search term.

What worries me about this site (the perfect Google Sniper site) is that it's disappeared from Yahoo completely when it was a meager result 60. Sometimes it pops back up at 148 or so, but every time previous to this, whenever Yahoo's result went further back, Google followed shortly. I'm afraid I might get uber pimp smacked soon.

That being said, my "Money for the here and now" project is going well. How well? Well, let's find out, shall we (and stop using the word "well" while we're at it- you'd think I'm trying to rank for that over is Google Sniper a scam- and yes, that was another plug). Here are some payment proofs from, none other than Neobux: First, the actual payment in Neobux. As you can see (well, maybe, can't figure out how to blow it up) I cashed out about $38. Again, this isn't profit because I had previously paid for Golden and put in an additional $30 earlier, but that means I've paid off my first $30 of rental fees AND paid down $8 on my Golden Balance. My balance right now is also, like, $5 and it's just been two days since my last cashout. I think I'm going to try to get the maximum amount of referrals, keep a one average, and then avoid cashing out until I get the money for Ultimate next. Judging by this, I suspect it'll be 3 months before that happens. But when I've got Ultimate I'll be able to rent 300 referrals at a time so hopefully it'll only be 4 months in total before I've "reached the limit" with Neobux and be making some serious bank every day (think $20 residual income daily). Naturally all members aim to do this, and there's no way everyone can have everyone else as referrals and Neobux remains capable of paying out, but I just want to get in on it for a little while before Neobux collapses into itself.


Anyway, here's the Paypal shot. Proof enough? Now go Join Neobux and make me and you some money!And for the final picture and topic of the day: Is Google Sniper a scam? Wait, never mind, that was just another shameless plug. I think I might tweet that post after this too, now that I think about it. But seriously, final point.... Adsense.

So I have a real love/hate relationship with Adsense. I never get really excited even when I make money with them, because it's rarely more than a dollar, and that's few and far between. And while I know a lot of people that love doing Adsense- most notably Ben of Make Money Online with SEO- and niche sites, I just don't see it as really possible for me right now. Actually I'm not sure if I'd ever be good and just monetizing with Adsense. You really have to shift your focus and get down deep and make a ton of these sites and get really focused backlinks to them continually. And I'm sure you're wondering "Well isn't that the same as any other site?" and yeah, technically I'd agree, but in my opinion sites that monetize with things like Clickbank or a CPS (cost per sale) CPA offer are powerful because you're not just building backlinks when you write an article or blog comment, you're preselling the people that click that little link in your resource box and preparing them to buy a product you've specifically tailored your webpage for.

With Adsense? The referral traffic you get from articles that may rank probably isn't going to click as readily as organic search engine traffic, but that traffic takes forever to get to a level where you make $1 a day, much less $100+ a day. Some Clickbank marketers probably make a majority of their bank just from referral traffic (honestly I've heard of a guy who gets 10k a month just from article directories and direct linking to the vendor page) And you have no actual control over what ads are displayed; you might get really great ads that people in Adwords are paying a fortune for, but you may also get really low paying ads.

But enough about this Adsense tangent, I'll just show you my earnings. Oh, and quick question: Is Google Sniper a scam? Now I'm doing this less to plug and more for fun.

So I've seen a slight improvement. My $0.00 days are fading, but I still don't see huge numbers often. I was particularly proud of my $1.97 last night, though, lol! One thing I've really started to take the time to look at is how powerful product name keywords are. The payment on that $0.43 day and that $1.64 day were all from one Hubpage I published a week ago that ranks 7th for its key term. The other $2 was from the first hub I ever published which ranks well, but it's a horrible key term. I would actually not mind showing you the hub, but you could trace it back to my account and sneakily steal everything I've been working on (cause I don't use multiple hubpage accounts... yet). Which is also why I've never plugged my referral link in here for Hubpages. In case you were wondering.

Well, that's pretty much it for me this week. CPA has halted now; I've made $14.50 since implementing my little plan earlier, but I actually anticipate that increasing soon since I've worked out a devious new plan (updates on that later). For now I'm going to get another couple hundred from ChaCha, and next week start anew with Clickbank. For the last 4 weeks I'm going to pump out a crap ton of articles, build superb landing pages that are linked from the articles, and mix a little bit of direct linking in there maybe. I said my first goal was the clear a total of $1000 online by New Year's (not counting ChaCha cash) and I've still got a LONG way to go (think $800). So tune in next time, where you'll find out the answer to: Is Google Sniper a Scam?

Or not... Make money online, as always, and enjoy my Google Sniper review- okay seriously done plugging now; I probably over did it and I'm going to lose rank, but who cares?

Peace homies,
