Keyword Elite AdSense Arbitrage Experiment (Part 4)

Boxing day is a big shopping day, but I'm planning on staying home today. Let's

continue with the keyword arbitrage experiment. Again, refer back to

AdSense Arbitrage and Leveraging

First, though, I want to state that although I have now actually read Michael

Plante's ebook AdSense Arbitrage

and Leveraging, I'm still going to base this experiment on the information

found only in the free

href="http://www.memwg.com/KeywordEliteAdSenseArbitrage.pdf">AdSense Arbitrage -

Still Alive and Well special report. Michael's book is much more detailed,

however. For example, he tells you specifically which

href="http://www.memwg.com/go/keyword-elite.html">Keyword Elite options he

uses in the different stages of his process. As far as I can tell, he doesn't

leave anything back, and the book has a nice conversational tone to it. I'll do a

full review of it later, but if the arbitrage business is something that interests

you, it's not a bad place to start.

Step 4: Content Creation

To recap, we now have an initial list of keywords to work from:

Now our job is to write a small page of content relating to one or more of those keywords. I'm going to focus on spyware removers. Here's what Michael says on page 7 of the report:

… used an article generating

software I own to produce a keyword specific article for some of those high paying

keywords. My keyword density is somewhere in the neighborhood of 6%…. I posted

this article on a domain I already own, under a subdirectory named after the high

paying keyword.

Now, normally using someone else's article isn't recommended, but he makes this

point:

Since my premise here is going

after targeted PPC traffic, I am not concerned about the issue of duplicated

content, since I am not primarily concerned with getting the page indexed.

One important thing he mentions is that he adds an outbound link on the page to

make sure the user has a way of getting away from the page. This isn't strictly

necessary in my opinion, because the user always has the option of hitting the

“back” button to go back. The AdSense terms and conditions only forbid you from

interfering with the user's navigation via the browser buttons. Still, it's not a

bad idea to include such a link. In fact, if you're using someone else's article

instead of your own content then it's often a requirement to include the article's

bio box on the page, which typically includes a link or two back to the author's

website.

Now while I could use software like

href="http://www.memwg.com/adsense-cash-machine-review.html">Desktop AdSense Cash

Machine to create the page, I'm a writer and I prefer creating my own pages…

so I wrote a short article on spyware removal. Here's the link to the

article without any ads on it:

href="http://www.synclastic.com/spyware-removal-text.html">Why You Don't Need A

Spyware Remover (text only)

If you want to see what the keyword density is like, take the URL for the page

and enter it on this page, the

href="http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html">free Ranks.nl keyword density

analyzer.

Once I was satisfied with the page text, I moved it to its final URL and

enabled the ads:

Why You Don't

Need a Spyware Remover (ad-enabled version)

As you can see, the URL includes the “spyware removal” keyphrase. Remember to keep the AdWords limit of 35 characters for the display URL in mind when you add the page to your site. Alternatively, I could have created a “spyware” or “spyware-removers” subdomain, but I chose to keep it very simple, and it's a free and painless way to test arbitrage scenarios, providing of course you have a domain that is generic enough to use for your content.

I decided to

vary the title a bit, though, and went for “spyware remover” there instead. It's a

good idea to mix up keyword variations whenever you can, which is easy to do when

you're writing naturally. However, you want to write your titles and headings very carefully, because you'll be writing AdWords ads that need to be relevant to the content of the page.

OK, so much for the content, now we need to start driving traffic to the page.

But that's next time…
