I've been checking out a lot of the popular SEO/Adsense products lately, and there's some good ones. But the truth is, we've been doing a lot of those things here for years.

This thread is my "response" to these "new" concepts.

I'm building another bot and template system for Commentz that will focus on SEO and Adsense click throughs.

The basic template will be clean and easy to work with. You won't have a lot of options, instead you can be productive.

We won't be adding "commentz" forms to these pages...These are our money sites. We don't want to allow people to modify these pages at all.

The reasons for using Commentz:

1. Template ready to go.

2. Creates linking so you don't have to

3. Creates RSS - essential

4. Pings - essential

5. Easy to update a lot of domains all from your Commentz Tuel

As you build more and more sites, to maintain your rankings one month you build a few links, then next month add a new page.

Commentz makes it much easier to add new pages across a lot of domains. Don't worry about drip-feeding for these. Instead, every 1-2 months paste a new article into Commentz.

The hard part is coming up with content. Each site will need 6-10 original articles, each should be fairly informative where an average reader would say "I didn't know that".

You'll also want some extra good/unique articles to submit to article directories.

In general, you will create a different link-wheel for each page, using totally different properties for each.

A Ping.fm account with the 9 or so RSS friendly sites like Twitter and Facebook.

You will also bookmark each page with 5-10 different sites for each page.

Submit homepage to directories.

Set up 2-3 Camouflage sites for each domain and point some profile type links to the camouflage pages, which point to your link wheels.

As you create more sites, you'll want to add in a few other marketing methods into the mix to test, like contests, press releases, software submission, videos, podcasts, etc.

Sugested software:
Market Samarai (niche/keyword research) - If you don't have it, get Dave Kelly's (Linkvana) keyword research report here:
http://www.dombom.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=119&forum=DCForumID42&page_num=1

Bookmarking Demon - If you don't have it, you can use RSSBot or I'll try to create an account creator to use with one of the free services like www.SocialMarker.com

RSSBot or other RSS submission - If you don't have one, I'll try to create a bot to do the most important.

I'll go into more detail soon...

Go to Amazon and Google and get your affiliate codes.

AdSense:
Make sure you use a channel to track every site.

Also, use a basic color scheme. Make sure the links are blue, as this is what most people are most familiar with.

You will need 2 styles of ads:
300x250 - Ad Block - add to top.html

728x15 - Text links add to footer.html

Note that they are different sizes AND different ad formats.

Go to Amazon and get the following banners for the category that closest matches your keywords:
728x90 banner - Add to header.html
120x600 banner - Add it to navigation.html

Note that these four html files are called using SSI tags in the templates:
footer.html
header.html
navigation.html
top.html

This means that if you change anything in one of these files, it will affect every page on the site.

Remember, the Adsense, Amazon and picture code is all in the .html files that are called using SSI. This means you won't see them until you upload them to your site, then check them out in your browser.

Don't slack off with this...Amazon is important for 2 major reasons:

1. It is against Google's TOS to build sites just for AdSense. Putting another revenue stream adds a bit of protection from Google's TOS.

2. The banners help control where your visitors look...Tests have shown that people have trained themselves to look away from banners. Because of this, we are using Amazon's banner to manipulate where people will focus on the page. We want our Adsense ads to be the "center of attention".

The next step is to add a graphic related to your keywords.

Go to Moreguefile.com and find an image. Morguefile has the most liberal usage license of anyone, so ALWAYS use them in your projects.

Find one that's pretty close to being square in shape.

Resize it so that it scales to 340 pixels wide.

Rename the graphic using keywords, optimize the alt tags, and change the appropriate html code in the top.html file.

This graphic is important for a couple of reasons:

1. A good looking graphic makes pages look a little better and less like spam. Most spammers won't mess with adding a pretty picture.

2. The size, shape and position of this picture teams with the Amazon graphic to really force people to focus their attention of the block of Adsense ads. And in turn, these two work in force with the "heat map" data that shows the natural eye movement of Western readers when we read (scan) a web site.

Below is a screen shot of how a page will look in general:

Notice the html files in the graphic above:
header.html
navigation.html
top.html

...Again, these are being placed into the pages using SSI tags.

I've added a few "header" graphics as well as some images so you can quickly change the general appearance of the sites.

Use the general graphics and layout I gave you for the first 2-3 sites. Be quick and productive. After you get a few sites done and master this system, then you can spend a little time finding better graphics. Until then, get sites up and link to those sites.

The header graphics all named header-something.jpg. I put these at the very top and bottom of each template (form #16 in Commentz) and the index.html file.

The easiest way to change this image is to choose another header image and save it to the same folder as your site, naming it:
header.jpg

...And over-write the existing image by the same name.

There's also a bunch of 340 pixel wide pictures to use as the "main" graphic. You can mix and match the header and "main" graphics to get a lot of different looks.

Or, you can use your own graphics...Make them:
Header: about 960-980 pixels wide - 75-125 pixels tall.
Main: No more than 340 pixels wide.

Do NOT spend a lot of time on header and main graphics! You're not after awards. If you must change the graphics:

Make a quick 975 pixel wide banner online here:
http://cooltext.com/

Another option is to use a pre-made header graphic. There are some on the Bombsquad for download. Open them up in a graphics editor and resize to about 960 pixels wide, then make any modifications. But you really shouldn't spend much time on this, unless you have a VERY good reason.

For the "main" graphic, go to www.morguefile.com and to get your images. This is IMPORTANT!!! Morguefile has the most liberal usage license there is...There's no reason not to be safe and legal.

Once you've selected an image, you need to crop and/or resize it so that it is 340 pixels wide or less. It's OK for it to be smaller, you may want to test this once you get traffic.

I suggest you optimize this image a bit whether you use one of the ones supplied or your own:

Rename the picture: mainkeyword.jpg

Add a 1-2-3 secondary keywords to the alt and title tags in the image tag:

<IMG SRC="MainKeyword.jpg" ALIGN="Left" title="another keyword" alt="yet another keyword or two">

This main image can be edited in the top.html file.

Go ahead and download the package (Coming soon) and get used to how the templates and SSI structure work. If you spend just a little time learning this system, you'll be able to churn out highly optimized Adsense sites, complete with RSS and ping in a fraction of the time it would take any other way.

And since these sites are STATIC html, they are perfect to flip. These static sites are a snap to move to another host, unlike blogs which can be a real pain.

I'll post a bot to help automate Commentz to set up Adsense specific sites ASAP.

Commentz Adsense Blueprint Bombot Read Me

For help setting up a Commentz project, watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y04WmrPSzfk

Note that the video is for the "camouflage" type pages and uses one of 50 folders.

This Adsense project only has one template folder. The "look" is changed using the various header and "main" graphics detailed above.

Create the Commentz Project

Make a copy of the Bomber Adsense Kit "Template Files" folder.

Rename the folder (no blank spaces)

Start Tuelz.exe

Start CommentzAdsense bot

Enter the same name used for the project folder for the Project Name:

Click START button

In Commentz, browse to the project folder you created above.

Scroll down to Part 24 in Commentz

Fill in FTP info

Browse to correct dirctory (folder) on your site where you want to put your web pages.

Double check that the URL automatcally created by Commentz is correct

Scroll down to Part 24 in Commentz

For "Select Pingz Services" select "ALL", but do not check the special services.

Click "ADD PROJECT".

The project has been added and your ready to add your pages.

Adding Pages using Commentz

From the Commentz main page:
http://127.0.0.1:12345/commentz/

Click the link named for the project you just created

Click the "New Thread" button

FILENAME - For your first page, rename this index.html. For each additional page, you can use the default page naming system, or create your own file name. This is a powerful SEO feature, as page file names play an important factor in ranking.

Meta Keywords - Optional

Meta description - Fill in a description that will make readers want to click. Don't worry about keyword. Priortiy is clicks here.

Page Title: Pick the best keywords for the page. Very important! This text will also be used as the anchor text for internal linking the site. Also very important!

Topic Subject: This can be an exact match or a close match of the Page

Title. For this project, this text will be the first text displayed on the page and uses h1 /h1 tags.

From/Author: Ignore-not used for this project

Author's URL: Ignore-not used for this project

Paste in the content/article into the "POST COMMENT" form.

Check "Check to Upload New Page Now" button

Click "APPROVE/ADD NEW THREAD" button

----------------------------------------------------

Each time you add a page using Commentz, the program automatically:

Adds the content to the template

Adds the page title, meta tags and H1 tag to the pages

Adds a link to the new page to the navigation.html file. This file is then included in all the pages using an SSI tag, which means a link to the new page is added to all existing pages.

Adds the update to an RSS pheed

FTPs/uploads all the modified files to your site

Pings Ping-o-Matic after each update.

Learn this system. It takes away all the BS and is designed to give the maximum results with as little work as possible.

It's a lot easier than the directions make it seem. The hardest part is browsing for your project folder on your computer and filling in your FTP info. But you only have to do this once. And really, how hard is that? 99% of the work has been done for you, from layout to SEO to auto-linking to pinging.

You want to make sites that are 6 pages, one home page and 5 more content pages. This is smaller than others suggest, but I think it's important to get sites up.

You still need about 20 pretty good articles per site:
6 for the domain to start
4-10 for updates to the site
4-10 for article marketing

Adsense has a bad reputation, but it's still a great way to make money. You don't have to learn to sell or write sales letters, or learn how to build a list. You sign up for one affiliate program and it will handle be good for zillions of niches. And, it will match your niches automatically. Plus, it offers great tracking.

You may hear a lot about CPA...Here's what they don't tell you: A lot of those offers don't last long. Anyone that's tried CPA for any length of time has spent all day adding a CPA offer to their sites, only to get an email that evening that the offer has expired.

Only use Amazon and maybe eBay along with Adsense. You don't want to mix affiliate programs, which leave HUGE fingerprints to who you are. Save other revenue streams for silver sites.

Goals:

1 - Set up a practice Commentz Bomber Adsenese site in a folder on a website you own. Make sure the system works and get to know the basics.

2 - Create 3 domains that share some kewords

3 - Create 7 more domains, for a total of 10. Make these domains sort of related to the first, but branch out.

4 - Create 15 more domains, for a total of 25. Make these domains sort of related to the first, but branch out.

As you go, you'll get faster, so each step isn't as big a jump as it may seem.

You really need 25 sites to make money. It may seem like work and it is, but all the work is upfront. And if you're not willing to build 25 sites, then Adsense sites isn't the best strategy for you.

This is an easy system to outsource and expand. After you generate a solid cash flow, the jobs can easily be outsourced.

The weakness of this (and all) Adsense system is that it takes a few months to get decent SE traffic, then another month or more to get paid. You need to plan for this.

Try to make an early goal of generating enough cash flow that you can outsource either content writing or promotion.

Promoting 25 sites isn't much harder than 5 and in many ways better. If you bought the software, id doesn't cost any more. So if it works, use it to full benefit.

Remember:
1. How fast and easy it is

2. How much power and control you have for SEO and design

3. Commentz adds links when new pages are created

4. FTPs/uploads for you

5. Creates and modifies RSS pheed

6. Pingz Ping-O-Matic after each update

Hey Blase,

Seems I'm having problems with my Youtube account for some reason.

I uploaded the video to my own server:
www.dombom.com/iframes/Commentz_Add_Page_2/Commentz_Add_Page_2.html

Sorry about the problem...

This looks like a good simple project for me after I get done with the one I am working ever so slowly on right now.

I think I understand your use of the amazon banners. As a CO affiliate and having a little problem using amazon that way now, would there be any problem signing up with any other program where I can get a banner?

I understand that amazon offers the best selection of banners on different products that would match a site and that you said to save other programs for silver sites, but you know the problem I suppose.

I'll just have to look around and see what's best at that point, I guess.

I'm back in Colorado right now too, so I know what you mean. I still have a mailing address in Las Vegas and use an LA proxy whenever I log into Amazon. I'm afraid I'll forget the proxy one time and get the Amazon "you're fired" email.

You can use anything you want. Amazon is just easy for obvious reason. Try something like ebay...If they have banners?

Or even better, for the first month or so after actually promoting the site you may want to take all ads off, even the Adsense.

Just open the html files used for SSI and delete their contents and reupload, you don't even need the "main" graphic. Once you start getting some links and/or traffic, add the Adsense and banners then.

Okay..you are on Mister.

I was going to do some niche WP sites any way. I am willing to try HTML but I am not much of a coder.

We will see what happens. I need to go through this thread.

CT

is there an example site??
