In my experience, sites that make the most money with Adsense are ones that receive traffic from search engines and give users a taste of what they’re looking for, but not everything. This Adsense post is quite amazing in its analysis, btw. I’m a consistent reader but not much of a poster.

For example, it’s far better to have links to your site with ‘ Personal Development ‘ as the anchor text, rather than something like ‘Glen’s web site’ I knew I could get a lot of links with my desired anchor text so decided to go for it. My guess, is quite a lot.

Make Other People Care When I was 16, I received an email from Google Engineer Matt Cutts. For example, if you mention the comments you’ve been leaving on recent blog posts (which you really have) or the relevance of your post to one that the blogger wrote recently, you’re giving them a reason to care. Again mindblowing.

No Follow Certain Links – Adding the nofollow attribute to certain links tells search engines not to pass Pagerank to them and not to give any ‘benefits’ to the receiving page or site. I also nofollow links to pages that don’t need my link juice such as About or Contact and even things like my RSS feed.

The last point is also something important to remember if you launch a product, for example. The best type of traffic for blogs is search engine traffic and mentions from other blogs. The other side of the coin is to focus on getting traffic from search engines or other forms, and monetising them in different ways.

For those of you who don’t know why links are important, let me just say that if you want to get traffic from the major search engines, they’re crucial. Links from other sites to your site are basically a ‘vote’ that tell search engines you are trusted and you are a good resource for whatever your content is about.
