Wow, the weather is great here. I really should spend some more time outside.

So! Are you signed up with Dreamhost? Adsense? Adwords? Did you get those ebooks? If not, go see my other posts, please.

Today’s tip. Have you thought of some possible topics you’d like to create a site around? Your next step is to go over to Wordtracker, Google Trends, and Overture and do a little research. Oh you’ll also want to just go to Google, and type in your word or phrase. Then look to the right and see how many ads there are. You need to have a good number of ads, or else nothing will show up on your site, and you won’t make any money! We’re just talking about Adsense here. If you had a product you wanted to promote with Adwords, you would really be hoping for LESS competition, Anyway, type in some of your ideas at Wordtracker, and Google Trends, etc, and see what you get. At Wordtracker, you’re looking for a high KEI, and a lot of searches. If people aren’t searching, you’re not going to get traffic. Duh. Remember - be sure to be specific! Find your niche. You want MORE searches, LESS competition. Got that? Good.

Also, be sure to take a look at the ads on Google, and see what they’re for. Remember that people are LOOKING for something. They’re looking for a solution. They’re searching because they have a question or a problem. The ads that they will see on your site need to offer solutions. Say I was looking for horse saddles. And I came to your site, and it’s about horse saddles, but doesn’t have them for sale… I’ll look at your links, and if they look helpful, I’ll click on them. Make sense? Ok, now do your homework.
