Hi Gobala,

Thanks for the great bootcamp! It's good to meet you in the flesh and the rest too!

Here's a question.

I've come up with 5 (and more) topics and am now doing a keyword research for one of it.

One of the topic is 'paintball'. So when I've typed in this term in the google adsense keyword tool, i'm displayed with a big list of keywords.. Q:what exactly should I look out for here?

Thanks.
Aidil

The way i think is..make paintball as your main keyword and the main title of your blog/website.
and for the other keywords,you could use them as topic for your articles which you can put inside your blog/website as content.That's my opinion la..

Thanks Matt. edit: I've done keyword researches for more than 5 topics and thus have zoned into one topic based on the most volume of keywords. Now I'm on my way to building a site

When you do keyword research you always get a lot of data, which you have to look at more carefully.

For starters, take only keywords than contain "paintball" in them, arrange them in an Excel sheet and you'll start to see a pattern about the keywords.

Free Keyword Suggestion Tool From Wordtracker

Look out for (1) products (2) "how to" keywords

For the first example, products, lets take the keyword "paintball guns" - this is an opportunity to make money from selling paintball guns as an affiliate.

So you may even want your entire blog / site to be about paintball guns only (or mainly on that).

"How to" type of keywords represent the opportunity for you to develop free report or paid infoproducts.

Some keywords can also form the categories of your blog.

Alright. got it.
Thanks!
I'll keep my progress posted so that the rest of the bootcampers can benefit

Hi aidil,

Even im not attending the bootcamp, but im going to help you in keyword research a bit.. I think you should specify more on the what-you-are-going-to-blog/sell/do ... as an example, you want to blog on "what is paintball" and your main keyword should be "what is paintball" not only "paintball"...as you can see from the search engine result, "paintball" has more (actually a lot more) competitions compared to "what is paintball" so choose the "what is paintball" as your primary keyword rather than very competitive-general keyword like "paintball"...with this, you can also get more targeted traffic because you are more specific on that topic and maybe if you are doing affiliate offers, it might convert to sale!!! woah!!!

Hi Gobala,

Do we need to have more than 1 blog/website..like 10 or 20 blog/website..to really make money with adsense?

I have a video blog at blogger.com and so far..after 3 weeks, I only manage to earn $1.52 only.

Might need some advice from you on how to get more traffic to my blog and maximize my adsense earning.

[GobalaKrishnan]

Although theoretically you can earn a lot from Adsense with one website, the reality is that you will probably need more.

To get more from a single website you have to edit the placement of your ads, make it more visible and if possible the first thing a visitor would see..
