So so so true Court.

The worst part is that there are so many people out there trying to sell stuff that uses these methods to make money online. It’s not only a waste of money, it’s a waste of time. Time that could be spent doing things the right way to make money.

October 19th, 2009 at 3:45 pm

I admit that in the past I’ve tried the social media route as well as the arbitrage plan. I have the Excel spreadsheets with lots of red (and tears) on them to backup how much those don’t work. Sometimes you have to try something to know what does and doesn’t work, so I chalk it up as a learning experience.

I’ve never tried the image targeting myself. I have a friend who once had the #1 image on Google for the generic term “cow”. He can attest that even with the traffic he received, very little income was ever generated from that position (under $10 — ever).

October 19th, 2009 at 6:33 pm

I would add that some content doesn’t convert well regardless of where the traffic is coming from. Sports content is very hard to convert into sales from my experience.

October 20th, 2009 at 9:45 am

Is it possible to hide your images from showing up on an image search?

October 20th, 2009 at 9:54 pm

Yep, those are definitely internet marketing strategies that don’t work. I think the biggest loser these days that people insist on sticking with is social traffic and Adsense or just about any other monetization method with social traffic… It just doesn’t convert!

October 22nd, 2009 at 8:39 am

I see what you guys are talking.

But if social traffic doesn’t work, why is Twitter and Facebook so popular?

I am sure these guys have better use for their time than to build a following on those platform.

October 22nd, 2009 at 4:19 pm

Nice list. Would agree with the spirit of most of your points. But there are several cases to prove number 4 wrong. I would say, untargeted social ≠ sales. But it is more than possible to be successful at this.

October 23rd, 2009 at 1:21 am

Now the social media is rocking the internet marketing most people believe the success..

October 24th, 2009 at 11:09 am

Well, I agree with most of the points but I think image optimization can work for the movie websites and social media can work for a few niches like Internet Marketing and Forex.

October 24th, 2009 at 1:31 pm

So image is not OK then that leaves me with vidoes…
That would work like miracle I guess, am I right?
YouTube videos —-> Adsense will work like gangbuster, right?

October 26th, 2009 at 4:00 am

I tried using PPC once and that was the biggest mistake that I ever made. It cost me several hundreds of dollars now I just stick with SEO as it is cheaper.

October 26th, 2009 at 1:52 pm

Great site, thanks for the info

October 26th, 2009 at 2:46 pm

I have to say, my Facebook ads did very well targeting small business groups. That was until the bids went from 25 cents to 2 dollars. My funds have now shifted to other places. Of course I was targeting local online marketing with local business owners which use Facebook to market their own business.

October 27th, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Interesting article. The Internet needs more posts like this that show people what doesn’t work.

October 28th, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Yes this is a total noob question but I must ask: I am a new member of The Keyword Academy with a new site, following the advise of Mark and Court. I’m in process of using the SEO techniques to get ranked. I thought the purpose was to get search engine traffic so that people come to the site and actually click the ads and I get paid…of course I eventually want to have something to sell them, but am I to understand that PPC and Adsense in this fashion is no longer realistic? Please advise honestly.

October 29th, 2009 at 2:56 pm

Hi I really enjoyed reading your post it was very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Aly

October 29th, 2009 at 3:39 pm

So are you saying that you can’t make good money through Adsense PPC?

October 29th, 2009 at 11:43 pm

Hi..
I have just downloaded your e book and it is very useful …Thanks .

October 29th, 2009 at 11:43 pm

Informative and valuable post. I agree with most of your views. Its really true. Thanks for this post.

October 30th, 2009 at 3:11 am

Court is basing what he has written from experience. It’s funny how some of you are saying social traffic can make you money, or image search, etc. It’s nice to hear other people being able to do it but until you yourself make a ton of money using those techniques Court recommended to avoid, perhaps you should stop buying into the hype and start doing what actually work. Just a suggestion.

October 30th, 2009 at 11:03 pm

Is it just me Court, or are you letting a lot of spam comments through? Seems like there are quite a lot of “I agree with your article. When will you write more” comments.

I think what you wrote is pretty self evident to anyone in the game. Those that have disagreed and say they can prove otherwise, it would be nice to see an example.

October 31st, 2009 at 7:58 am

The days of making money from adsense are pretty much gone. We can no longer except to make a huge amount of money from it anymore. Also, I think the biggest part about social traffic is building a relationship first and then the sales will come

October 31st, 2009 at 11:05 am

Donny you are right, Adsense is dead and social marketing is where the money is made now. The sooner Internet marketers like you realize that the better they will do.

November 1st, 2009 at 12:06 am

Great information!..
Thanks for this one. Can you suggest other site with the same subject?

November 3rd, 2009 at 5:25 pm

Someone finally has the balls to tell the Emperor he’s got NO clothes. Thanks man! Unless you’re a very talented illustrator selling images or services, image search especially is a complete waste of your time. If you think it will help SEO, try again. Nice post!

November 3rd, 2009 at 5:55 pm

I agree. We just find our competitors steeling images we paid for because we made it easy for them to find.

November 4th, 2009 at 1:08 am

Very Useful information !!

November 4th, 2009 at 10:38 pm

nice tips, i’ll try

November 5th, 2009 at 9:12 pm

If you want to get involved, interact. Internet marketing is not just about dealing with Google’s algorithms but all the more dealing with actual human audience.

November 6th, 2009 at 6:39 pm

One thing I like about image search is that you can point images to any specific link. I clicked on one picture and it took me to Amazon. I thought that was pretty clever. With all the personal blogs out there, what do you suggest to get a few sales?

November 8th, 2009 at 8:03 am

Hi, I really enjoyed your commentary.

You really hit the nail on the head.

It seems that these methods keep being rehashed into “new stuff” and when it comes right down to it, you can redesign and repackage these methods all you want, but if they don’t work, they just do not work!

I don’t like to waste time and most certainly do not like to waste my money that could be better spent on methods that truly give me direction to make money without all the “stuff and fluff”.

November 9th, 2009 at 8:41 am

I cannot completely agree with this blog posted here. As one of my fellow commentators said if social traffic is doesn’t work then why many people are using them and also many internet marketing consultants are using it and are successful by doing so. Except this, I agree all the other internet marketing strategies don’t work as expected.

November 9th, 2009 at 9:45 am

@robertphillips | Social traffic can convert but a social media campaign tends to bring the best rewards when approached from a buzz marketing point of view. Generate interest and ‘buzz’ and people will flock to your site to see what all the fuss is about. A percentage of these people will convert, however when compared to a metric such as organic search engine traffic the conversion rate will be significantly less. You have to carefully weigh up the potential ROI of any social media campaign before starting otherwise Court is right – it just doesn’t work.

November 11th, 2009 at 1:01 pm

Someone finally has the balls to tell the Emperor he’s got NO clothes. Thanks man! Unless you’re a very talented illustrator selling images or services, image search especially is a complete waste of your time. If you think it will help SEO, try again. Nice post!

November 15th, 2009 at 8:38 pm

Great point I got my hands in PPC about 2 months ago and what a disaster! Of course I followed one of those heres how I did it. But there is so much compaction now the prices are so expensive theres no way you’ll make a profit unless maybe you own the product yourself and get 100% commissions from the sale.

November 19th, 2009 at 5:28 am

I really appreciate this article. It is always good to know what actually works and what doesn’t. I think it is great that useful information on how to create low maintenance income on the internet is posted. I will regard this in the future.

November 19th, 2009 at 10:46 am

nice tutorial, i’ll keep following this blog

November 19th, 2009 at 11:14 am

Thanks for the Ebook. I just downloaded sucessfuly Ebook

November 20th, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Thanks Bill G. for your feedback. Very helpful.

November 20th, 2009 at 3:11 pm

Nice post. A few contention that I think all most everybody here would agree. Personal blogging is way more an affiliate adsense or any for of business site, provided you are making an authority.

November 23rd, 2009 at 1:57 pm

This is a good post as usual. The only way to convert social media traffic is to wrap your offer in the information you are given them and this could be in the form of an article, video, review..etc.

November 24th, 2009 at 7:16 am

Thanks for the ebook. Can’t wait to try the idea’s in it. Creating low maintenance income on internet is so helpful today.

November 24th, 2009 at 5:51 pm

Now the social media is rocking the internet marketing…

November 26th, 2009 at 9:55 am

I got some more stuff that does not work…

December 1st, 2009 at 7:45 pm

I think I am making the personal blogging mistake right now.

December 1st, 2009 at 8:48 pm

I think social media like twitter works if you use it right.

December 1st, 2009 at 8:50 pm

Viral video is a good concept. I believe it help me to pick up more traffic this month.

December 3rd, 2009 at 1:51 am

Good article, and I agree with most of it, but ultimately, the success or failure of any one method really depends on what one is marketing.

December 3rd, 2009 at 9:14 am

I agree with a lot of what you are saying here but there are always contradictions.

For example:

If you work with a very targeted niche you will get a lot more traffic and buyers for the products as well. I have found that if you keep your niches very targeted and you only drive traffic that is interested in that niche you will have a lot more quality traffic and generate much more income successes.

December 4th, 2009 at 1:43 am

I am glad to visit your blog, because it is always updated and there are always new. information, or simply offer online success stories, many of which I could learn, the recommendation quality equipment, communicate with many people never even see

December 4th, 2009 at 11:24 am

Great article. It gives good insight. I’ve realized there are a lot of mistakes you can make if you aren’t properly informed.

December 4th, 2009 at 9:54 pm

Great and informative article. This will help a lot of us correct our mistakes or adjust our marketing strategies. Thanks.

December 5th, 2009 at 8:55 pm

Very imformative. Now I can get a head start in the right direction with good tips.

December 8th, 2009 at 8:40 pm

Thanks for the nice info.. I thought with huge traffic personal blog will generate income in adsense.. now i realize it’s not. Unless u sell links for you website in forum or else.

Thanks

December 10th, 2009 at 1:46 am

Thanks for the nice info…very useful…

December 12th, 2009 at 11:18 am

I have to agree with the post. As someone who’s dabbled in internet marketing for years, the days of ppc -adsense is long over. It was sure good while it lasted…

Social marketing seems to be good at establishing a brand and creating a following but not very effective for the quick sale.

December 17th, 2009 at 4:24 am

This is a good list although it would still depend on a publisher on how he can handle these promotional strategies in quick basis. What I found true here is the PPC advertising as it comes a little tough. On the other hand, blogging with AdSense has got more challenge though it will not be very hard as long as you got all the relevance intact and that you filter those keywords the way they should cater your audience.

December 18th, 2009 at 3:17 am

Ohh I 100% agree with the image traffic, I used get 1000 hits a day from that and in a month like 10 adsense clicks – major waste of time and it chews right through your bandwidth.

December 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Портал просто отличный, все бы такие!

December 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm

that is very true,thanks for writing the truth and for the blog tips

December 18th, 2009 at 3:14 pm

you are very true, thanks for the truth and for theblog tips

December 22nd, 2009 at 11:41 pm

Thanks Court for this useful post. I think even beginners would also expect these strategies to be ineffective. But it’s surprising why many still make the same mistakes, in spite of the flood of information online. Perhaps for the lack of right mentor?

Jose

December 26th, 2009 at 10:20 am

I have been able to make money successfully with using social media. I agree with a previous reader..Twitter is a little spammy but if you go after a particular group, it can work out great for you.

December 28th, 2009 at 3:53 am

What is social media good for if you are not going to earn money from it? Link building?

December 28th, 2009 at 9:38 pm

nice article, thanks for the information, keep sharing…

December 29th, 2009 at 9:21 am

it really depends on what your goals are if it is direct / immediate sales than imo social network sites are not going to deliver however if you want to get people to visit.. and maybe hook them in to your site it can work. also links from social networking sites can be very beneficial. It is also pretty easy to do now so it is worth it IMO just to cover all your bases

December 29th, 2009 at 10:29 pm

what kind of business that is best for beginner?

December 30th, 2009 at 4:54 am

The bad division is that there are so various citizens not in there irritating to sell matter that uses these methods to build capital online. It’s not only a misuse of money, it’s a misuse of time. Time that might be spent liability effects the true system to make money.

December 31st, 2009 at 10:30 am

The most honest appraisal I’ve read so far especially about social media. I doubted that this was a good way to sell all along, like you say, people are there for entertainment not to buy. I’d feel quiet embarressed if I tried to sell to someone on social media sites.

January 1st, 2010 at 5:26 am

The post is really very informative and very useful and I would people in the business can really appreciate this guide post. Congrats.

January 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm

Я абсолютно не знаю английский язык, но я подпишусь на этот блог и буду читать его через переводчик. Этот комментарий пишу для того, что узнать, удалят его или нет.

January 3rd, 2010 at 11:41 pm

I agree with your post. These are not good marketing strategies, it will just cost you a lot of your money and time. Can you ever imagine selling something on a social media site? It’s bad advertising.

January 6th, 2010 at 1:05 am

It is interesting how over the last few years we have certainly seen a shift away from adsense and move into affiliate. People see the benefit in promotion of product rather than advertising.

January 7th, 2010 at 2:15 pm

What I can say is WOW….I need to stop reading for now…Almost 4 and half hour I read your blog..and its full with exciting information…keep the good work. Waiting for more post in future…:)

January 8th, 2010 at 12:30 pm

Court,

What strategy do you have for a blog that won’t index? I’ve got a couple of sites that have been live with content posted (2 blog posts posted on seperate days actually) for 2 weeks. I tried adding a sitemap to 1 of them and even pointed a link from an article directory with no indexing whatsoever. The privacy setting is turned off under writing settings and I didn’t insert any no-indexing code so I don’t know what’s up.

I don’t really want to put anymore work into them until I know they’ll at least get a chance. Does this ever happen to you?

January 8th, 2010 at 4:41 pm

nice article, thanks for the information…

January 10th, 2010 at 1:02 am

I have been around long enough to know these things don’t work, but if you’re a newbie, you’re gonna fall for at least a couple of these things. I know I did!

January 10th, 2010 at 3:31 am

I like second point “Personal Blogging”

January 11th, 2010 at 1:40 am

I made the mistake of personal blogging and only realized later that it was not very effective marketing. People often fall for these bloopers because of the misleading information that is prevalent out there! Thanks for spreading the word and stating it like it is!

January 11th, 2010 at 7:15 pm

Very very true. You have actually gone through some of the mistakes I made

January 14th, 2010 at 2:55 pm

Sales result from targetting the correct market. I fully agree that trying to sell to social traffic is pointless. This is why my website is around the service that I offer and my market is pointed to people who need the service.

This is an excellent article, thank you.

January 15th, 2010 at 8:18 am

Well done , keep the good work !!!

January 16th, 2010 at 3:38 pm

Thanks for the tips! Great site!

January 17th, 2010 at 2:31 am

It’s funny when people tell me they have a lot of traffic from Twitter but they are not making any money from their Adsense. This never gets old!

-Kai

P.S. I think your $1 trial for Keyword Academy is definitely worth over $100 to be honest. I learned a lot of new stuff from there.

January 17th, 2010 at 1:28 pm

man this post on 5 Internet Marketing Strategies That Don’t Work was great and excillent each and everything is true and this is how it works.true.absolutely true.

January 19th, 2010 at 12:36 pm

@Donny? The days of making money from adsense are gone? Okay, keep spreading the word.

January 21st, 2010 at 4:08 am

I’m not that social anyway so I’ll stay away from social sites!. As far as the rest of those dead money trails,I’ll stay away from them to. thanks for the upto date info. on those marketing techniques.

January 21st, 2010 at 2:25 pm

Great posts and tips! Thanks.

January 23rd, 2010 at 9:52 pm

I concur. I made very little money with adsense. Only 100 dollars in one year. Furthermore, most of my sales comes from word of mouth.

January 24th, 2010 at 12:36 pm

Great article. You never really think about it, but your definitely right about pay per clicks in social networking sites. It just doesn’t make any sense.

January 26th, 2010 at 11:25 pm

Great post! keep writing.

January 28th, 2010 at 4:08 pm

nice post, for the longest time i’ve tired optimizing for images but i quickly learned its very hard.

January 30th, 2010 at 4:05 pm

I think you should add Twitter to your list also and make this the 6 Internet Marketing Strategies That Don’t Work.

Unless you have thousands of follows I don’t know how anyone makes sales with twitter.

February 1st, 2010 at 10:00 pm

You nailed this one! Entertainment and info junkies are not looking to click and buy!

February 3rd, 2010 at 2:04 am

I m agree with your article, but i have understood all points but i have not understood point 3 can anyone explain me the details of this point. I m very confused with Social traffic-Adsense. I know Adsense but i m very confused about social traffic-adsense. Please can anyone explain me.

February 3rd, 2010 at 8:12 pm

That was one hot niche elaboration. And you made it simple by comparing every two and how they conflict with each other (e.g :personal blogging–>adsense)
that was brilliant.

How to make money at home

February 5th, 2010 at 8:13 pm

Hmm i disagree with the comment about not being able to monetize image searches, i currently make an extra $350 per month from image searches, so they can and do work, it just depends on how you’re doing it and what you’re trying to promote.

February 8th, 2010 at 10:03 pm

I hope PPC doesn’t itself head down this path

February 11th, 2010 at 2:48 am

well ,while i learned about the online marketing ,SEO is the first point but when u say anything about the image its quite simple images are the first attraction and it makes so easy to click on the ads displayed then iam completely disagree with the thought of images searches does’t do anything for u!!!

February 11th, 2010 at 2:52 am

well its quite possible for one to make an very interective site using ppc(pay-per-click) services then it is very easy for one to make money from different images and and different clicks,one cannot blame on images clicks does’t do anything.

February 16th, 2010 at 1:20 am

I agree with court that PPC and adsense does not work, i spent hundreds of dollars tweeking my PPC add trying to make it work, but it never did.

February 17th, 2010 at 10:05 am

great information, thank you for sharing, regards

February 17th, 2010 at 7:41 pm

Interesting post, very few people make money with adsense. Only skilled SEOs seem to make it work for them

February 18th, 2010 at 5:02 am

good post, useful information

February 19th, 2010 at 7:38 am

As an example, how is in your opinion this bodybuilding and steroids – related website doing in terms of ad optimization?

February 20th, 2010 at 9:41 am

Wow! a great post about internet marketing strategies. I think if we want anything from our deeper mind and work proper to have target. We must be succeed.

February 21st, 2010 at 10:11 pm

Great post you summed up a lot with a quick read.

February 23rd, 2010 at 9:11 am

Thanks for tips for the newbie in internet marketing. But does Facebook and twitter are effective?

February 25th, 2010 at 9:28 pm

I totally agree with social traffic not really clicking on adsense. If you have adsense, it is always best to focus on increasing your search engine traffic.

February 26th, 2010 at 4:22 pm

Great posts and tips! Thanks

February 26th, 2010 at 10:41 pm

Great Tips to help others!!!

March 1st, 2010 at 8:09 pm

I have so resisted twitter because I thought it was a waste of time. My findings with the poor results of adsense on blogs totally confirms your post.

March 4th, 2010 at 3:50 am

This post is definitely the hard-hitting truth. While 2-3 years ago a couple of these may have been moneymakers…not anymore. They are bits and pieces and to go after them too much without care and without time investment into the most important things first, can be a disaster. Thanks for providing honesty and reality to the landscape.

March 5th, 2010 at 10:10 pm

Same with me. I rarely use twitter any more. The adsense information is about what I expected. I have rarely had good results.

March 6th, 2010 at 1:38 pm

Please start blogging again…We need a lot more of this type of content. You and Grizzly are the best.

March 6th, 2010 at 5:19 pm

I am new to this blog and amazed that a lot of people gave response to this post..I personally like the idea of doing personal blogging to give something to the people so that they can get what they want I think this would be the real effective way to earn some money…

March 10th, 2010 at 2:38 am

I’ve never been able to figure out how to make Twitter work for me. Great info in this post by the way.

March 15th, 2010 at 11:52 pm

you save me time thinking of starting a personal blog. Thanks a bunch, its helps a lot for beginner like me.

March 22nd, 2010 at 10:30 am

Nice post man, i like the way you tell it straight, keep up the good work.

MyMoneyFish realy works guys, I have gonnet PAID allready, i joined the progran in december and im a founding father, i got over 6000 people in my downline and over 2000 spillover, they paid me like 2 weeks ago to my alertpay it was a very good over $12,000 in my pocket.

March 22nd, 2010 at 7:00 pm

Thanks for the info. I’ve tried social media marketing alongside other methods for the last two months – total profit $5.56!

March 25th, 2010 at 12:54 pm

I completely agree about image search traffic being more for the ego than the bottom line, I get a fair bit from image searches but can’t convert them.

March 25th, 2010 at 1:21 pm

I’m just really, really confused. The $5000 ebook says “find a bunch of keywords, create a website, get ranked, and make money.” I’m confused about a couple things. First, I get that there’s more to the formula (e.g., gotta have ads to click on, and those leads need to be converted to sales). But the ebook gave me the impression that I should be running a blog and loaded with articles, and have a bunch of outposts with links back to my site. If AdSense is dead, then why is the ebook teaching this? Do I need to have my own product? What if I don’t have a product? I not exactly seeing straight, honest answers here, just a bunch of advise about ways to make money. Will the TKA teach me what I need to know inside, or will I just be paying for more advice? I’m ready to subscribe, but c’mon, please give me a warm fuzzy. I get the concepts, just haven’t figured out how to put it all together… and what I want to stay away from the most is having to become a pro-blogger (which sounds like *not* the easiest nor best way to make money). Thanks for being patient with a total noob trying to hit 4th gear.

March 30th, 2010 at 7:38 am

I’ve been blindly doing web design and never thought of blog until recently. At least I know that I don’t have to waste time on blog and adsense.

Thanks

March 30th, 2010 at 9:24 am

One bad thing about this is that a lot of people are doing exactly one or all of these things. Most of the times they won’t get successful in making sales or getting clicks. The market is a bit overhyped and a lot of people, as you say, just visit websites for either hoping that you will solve their problems or they are visiting your site to see if you have something exciting that will entertain them.
My own personal advice? You shouldn’t come to the internet to make money if you expect instant results. You must love what you are doing – and you should blog! You must love reading, writing and learning. Spending countless hours online to actually come to terms of truly being . . . a blogger!

April 4th, 2010 at 6:17 pm

Interesting point of view about social traffic. I agree that it has very bad quality. But it can be useful when you use counters that give you positive output. I’ll try to publish more thoughts regarding it at my personal blog vorona7001.com.

April 6th, 2010 at 9:42 am

thats is true, good article!

April 6th, 2010 at 4:47 pm

your article is good

April 7th, 2010 at 8:35 am

interesting views on a big topic

April 11th, 2010 at 7:54 pm

I found you #1 on google searching “internet marketing” great work!

Social media is alot like TV advertising it is more for exposure and to boost your image… I always go back to when it came time I needed a vet and the first one to come to my mind was the one that friend requested me.

Its not so much a call to action or instant conversion. I think we are major skeptics to ads and people prying for your money, but if you build a reputation when it comes time you may be the first to come to mind,…

I especially agree with 4, social media is not for sales – more for customer relations.

May 5th, 2010 at 11:48 pm

What is social media exist?

May 7th, 2010 at 9:18 pm

Great advice. This could potentially save a lot of wasted time and energy on things that do not work!

May 13th, 2010 at 11:08 pm

Thanks for this article it can be very hard to establish youself on the internet with so much misleading information flying around the good thing now with social media it makes people accountable so we can always google the persons name and find out if they have done any scams or got a bad name which is very helpful. People can get caught out with lies and deception and buy into all sorts of information wasting there time and holding them back from actually starting there own business.

May 16th, 2010 at 9:27 am

Hey Court,

Good article. I think you’re exactly right. It all makes sense when you think about it in the way you put it.

Thanks!

I personally prefer to work with a professional Brand Market Research Company. Professionals can help you with: creative advertising development, brand/product concept generation, concept development, strategic brand development, new product development research, positioning research, new product development, name generation and naming research and Packing research.

Yes, I think that professionals will do more and show me more results about travelling in Europe. Of course if you have much money;)

Thats right: “people don’t really care about us. They are self interested.” – therefore it’s difficult to explain, that we can especially things better. People are looking for solutions, nothing else.

Interesting article. May I also add…. you need to post more everyday. I wish the author would add more about this internet marketing thingy.

June 26th, 2010 at 1:08 pm

I somewhat disagree with the first one, if you’re site is either a porn site or a stock photo website. Otherwise you hit some great points on the rest. A lot of people are wasting a lot of time…they should be reading this post.

Now the social media is rocking the internet marketing most people believe the success..

July 3rd, 2010 at 10:56 am

“The bottom line is that people don’t really care about us. They are self interested.”

Sad but true.

July 3rd, 2010 at 3:55 pm

so true about this, yet so many internet marketers still rely on such media to advertise their products or services.. anyways its not our money and time which is wasted, but we are concern for those people, i agree with the idea of court, to help as much people as we can maximize their time, money and potential and reach financial freedom.

thanks for the post.

July 4th, 2010 at 4:26 pm

Hi,
I was thinking of using adsense to get a larger traffic income to my site, on the site I’m currently in the process of creating content and getting ready to go live with my website http://thebloggersway.com hoping for it to take off with me adding great content.

PS. Great blog, love to read it….

July 4th, 2010 at 7:06 pm

I have been to some of these mistakes.

July 5th, 2010 at 2:47 am

Same here. I am glad I stumbled on this article. Thanks!

July 6th, 2010 at 8:27 am

Great information, saves a newbie like me a lot of time, I was considering doing a few of these until I read your blog. Thanks a ton.

July 6th, 2010 at 8:56 am

Unless you’re relentlessly committed to buying media, or going all in financially as a “super affiliate”, and being accepted into upper crest affiliate programs like neverblue/maxbounty or the like, you can plan on disappointment from arbitrage and other similar strategies.

July 8th, 2010 at 1:38 am

I agree that you really cannot get adsense clicks out of social traffic. If you truly want to make money in adsense, you ought to set up micro niche sites to get targeted traffic.

July 8th, 2010 at 7:58 am

That’s a great article, and so true.
Image search really doesn’t work, people just want to find images, not buy products.
I totally agree!

July 12th, 2010 at 9:06 pm

I have a journalist friend that I keep trying to explain to that no one is going to read his blog simply because he wrote it and he is a talented writer. He also refuses to write about things that aren’t completely un-rankable for.

July 14th, 2010 at 5:06 am

I am here with you.
I don’t agree or don’t find it useful to use PPC, will not provide you good results unless you have HUGE traffic, don’t put all your eggs in one basket though!

August 11th, 2010 at 1:43 pm

I agree 100% about social media. If you ask the average person with hundreds and thousands of friends on Facebook how often those people visit their website and then how often those visits convert to sales the numbers will be very small.

Everyone is asking the same question: How can I make money off of Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter? The irony is that they are creating more and more sticky content for those websites and ultimately helping Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter generate more money while generating very little success for their own business websites.

August 13th, 2010 at 11:06 pm

This post is like 3 years ago already but it is still very much applicable.

August 15th, 2010 at 1:46 pm

About the Image Search, it’s even more difficult now to get those “searchers” to do something now that Google has changed its Google Images.

I agree with all your 5 things you told which not working these days.

Social traffic hardly converts with adsense. I have my own friends making site which hardly producing $1 for 60+ clicks. that sucks.

August 23rd, 2010 at 9:44 am

Thanks for the post, it’s helpful.

August 27th, 2010 at 5:23 am

5 things to not do. thanks a lot fur such great suggestions.

August 27th, 2010 at 1:45 pm

Totally agree with all these steps wholeheartedly.

If you want to be a serious force in internet marketing you definitely have to keep these things in mind. I definitely suggest people look into CRO, or conversion rate optimization if you want results that really matter.

August 30th, 2010 at 1:46 am

I saw most of article on advantages of internet marketing strategies, but this is so unique and interesting article for me, because of this article i knew what should i do and what should i dont. Thanks for sharing informative information with me.

Is it possible to hide your images from showing up on an image search?

September 17th, 2010 at 4:49 pm

@Indianapolis Web Design

Yes. Simply put your images in a folder, and rewrite the robots.txt file to forbid indexing of those images by the search engines.

In addition, if your hosting has CP Control Panel (most hosts do), you can lock external access to your images.

October 20th, 2010 at 4:44 am

This is such an informative article. It is really an eye opener for some regarding internet marketing.

October 20th, 2010 at 6:46 pm

great post and I know from experience adsense traffic or getting money from it so that I did not have to do anything else is like mission impossible except from all the gurus that keep emailing on the next big undiscovered way to get traffic to market your website gets a little tiring sometimes. Santa Maria Homes For Sale

October 24th, 2010 at 10:36 pm

Great post again!

Unless you give something to people for free that has value they are very unlikely to click anything you want them to. Everyone is looking for their favourite radio station WIIFM (Whats In It For Me) and if you can’t give them anything then they aren’t going to click anything for you. The market is changing all the time and we need to keep on top of it if we are going to survive.

October 25th, 2010 at 3:03 am

I never like Adsense. First of all, nevermind whether people click on them or not, even if they click, Google is not going to make you rich. Secondly, if you put in so much effort getting traffic to your site, why sent them away by letting them click on Google Ads? Isn’t it better to put in extra effort to make sure your visitors like to read your post and established trust in you, ie put in lots of great content. Then you can get them to click on things that you trully want to promote and sell. That, I believe will make you more money than Adsense. So, does Google ADs make SENSE to make money for you?

October 25th, 2010 at 12:17 pm

Hi there! Thank you for the useful advice!

I have a new found respect for internet marketers. I too believe that the most effective way of getting people to purchase anything being promoted is to provide them with something of value. Gain their trust first with valuable useful content that solves their problem and the rest will pretty much follow.

November 7th, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Very nice post!!Thanks.

November 9th, 2010 at 1:19 pm

What an awesome article. Its nice to know that there are people that actually know what they are talking about.

November 11th, 2010 at 12:44 am

Your right! Time is money if you are doing the right things!! Tnd these “right things” we should to learn from those who hold the experience and outcomes. Them we have to watch and try to do the same. Then we have the right to expect the same results comparable with our mentors.

November 18th, 2010 at 2:04 am

Very good post. In my opinion it could be true the part about the Social Media that it the quality of traffic is not so good but may be the brand awareness could be a meassure here !

November 26th, 2010 at 9:59 pm

Hi..

Thanks a lot for ur advice…but few of this strategies brings many visitors for me…

November 30th, 2010 at 3:28 pm

I agree that the traffic derived from images you get ranked is not the best quality. Getting hits to your site doesn’t necessarily mean your going to make money, and these people are just looking for images, they couldn’t care less about your site. MAYBE you might get an adsense click, but a sale of anything would be close to a miracle.

November 30th, 2010 at 6:15 pm

Your right! Time is money !

December 2nd, 2010 at 1:51 am

I agree with you. Social traffic just doesn’t turn into sales or adsense clicks. That’s why we must have good SEO these days!

December 5th, 2010 at 10:25 am

It is interesting how over the last few years we have certainly seen a shift away from adsense and move into affiliate. People see the benefit in promotion of product rather than advertising.

December 10th, 2010 at 7:26 am

December 16th, 2010 at 1:50 pm

Re: Item #2, the blog….

I quote (from your own post “How to start a video blog series”):

“My blog was started in February, 2007 and has grown to have around 3,500 subscribers and is on track to produce more than six figures this year. During the last 16 months, I have learned a lot of things about starting a blog that makes money.”

So my question is: If one year after starting the blog you were earning six figures, how come you say that blogs don’t work?

December 16th, 2010 at 2:26 pm

I didn’t know that so many methods to make moneyon the internet don’t work.I would like to know other methods to make money on the internet so please write some.

January 15th, 2011 at 7:24 pm

so what marketing strategy will work?

January 18th, 2011 at 1:57 am

I think the point is mute but there are avenues that would give you what you want. They are listed but the ‘spin’ is all wrong… you do need to fine tune the signal… and give QUALITY content. That will help you get fans… followers and your own community… then they will grow accustomed to your site… and the rarity of clicking will go up!

“Personal Blogging –> Adsense. The bottom line is that people don’t really care about us. They are self interested. If you are trying to establish a blog while hoping that people are getting interested in YOU, you have a long road ahead of you. People care about what you can provide to them – they care about how you can solve their problems.”

i disagree with this point, if you’re world star. say Michael Jordan or Akon, people will care about you nd your personal blogging….

January 25th, 2011 at 3:23 am

I totally with agree..!!
These things dont work i have tried all of them and now i feel it was just a waste of time..!!

January 26th, 2011 at 7:58 pm

it is a good point you give, But sometimes things can be different when you blog and give people reasonable post in a way they will be visiting your site it will establish trust between you and them though it will take time before you can start making money when you have more traffic in your blog by making your readers trust you . people want solution to their problems not giving them junk information.

January 26th, 2011 at 9:09 pm

Interesting post and very helpful to someone like myself who is new to marketing, nice also to see different points of view. I personally believe you need to brand yourself….. and over deliver on just about everything in order to make a sale. People are just so much wiser and thats not so bad.

People like these kind of experts will dictate trends in internet marketing, we need to step close to them and keep up, that’s the way it goes and that’s the way I see it.

Interesting Article. I will use better the internet for market my webs with this

March 28th, 2011 at 10:03 pm

Totally agree with you. I have used adsense many times and have not made anything from this method.

March 30th, 2011 at 11:47 am

first time to your blog very straightforward stuff – but very interesting – wondering how you got #1 on google with your blog and lots of comments. I will be back.

Awesome blog and great article Courtney. I do agree with the personal blog & adsense deal, it doesn’t work as people are ‘selfish’ I guess you could put it!

April 1st, 2011 at 5:34 am

It’s a great blog and good community. Every body participate with their own views. so nice place to be. It always help to get more info not just from the blog itself and from the community too..

“Social traffic –> Adsense”

I guess that is the reason why Facebook ads seldom worked for me. Compared to Adwords, what I paid for FB is peanuts, but then again, you get what you pay for. It is just like you say, people visit social networking sites for entertainment and recreation, not to buy stuff.

April 6th, 2011 at 12:16 am

I can’t see a personal blog making much money but a blog with some decent useful content can make some money. A few months back I made an ugly site to do some testing and I was able to make some money with Adsense with very little traffic. Either my content was good and made them click the ads or the site was so ugly they just clicked anywhere to get off my site.

April 8th, 2011 at 1:04 am

Most blogs today are just a covering of the real ones, they think they have endless description and reviews that doesn’t seem to work or get anything from it..that is useful enough..

April 8th, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Sometimes simple logic does escape us. Social media user are hard to reach but when you do it well, it does bring lots of traffic and sales.

April 9th, 2011 at 3:20 am

Thanks for this useful information

About this post, it’s really nice.Thanks for posting it.I would like to read some more informations about what
you wrote in this article.It helps me a lot with my businesses, inspires me.

April 11th, 2011 at 2:12 pm

ну просто ооочень ценная информация ! )

April 11th, 2011 at 7:07 pm

This seems to be a little too general for marketing. Its all about numbers. You cant expect to sell anything to everyone. But for the most part you are right.

April 12th, 2011 at 2:23 pm

Wow! You nailed it right on the head. I always thought adsense was a waste of time anyway- earning a few cents a click? It’s a joke. No one got rich that way.

The best way to do business on line is to build a list, build some trust with your list, show them you are a real and honest person who can help them solve their problems or achieve their lifestyle. They would not hesitate to buy from you then.

April 14th, 2011 at 10:25 pm

Build trust and a following on the Social media sites while building your list.Also try not to come off as a pushy salesman,but to offer valuable free information.Build a relationship and don’t look like an affiliate marketer.

April 15th, 2011 at 12:05 pm

I have the Excel spreadsheets with lots of red (and tears) on them to backup how much those don’t work. these things do not work I am only just starting out with internet marketing and do not want to waste my time and money, is anyone prepared to tell me what does work all comments will be welcomed. Someone agree they have to do commercial work if we want to sell our content.

I found this post to be very informative. Thanks. You know alot of times one thing will work for some people and not others. And it depends on the market too. Trial and error is expensive. but i’m using a technique now that worked 12 years ago, but stopped being effective for awhile. and now it is working great.

Completely agree with you about adsense.. Once upon a time you could make money at it but their own algorithms are making it a little harder at times.

The next step will be to change the law to require the regstered owner to pay the fine.

And while they’re at it, require you to supply a credit card number to register the car so they can just charge the credit card.

Very good point on the number 2. Personal Blogging –> Adsense. I agree totaly with you on that one. People want to get tutorial to help them or something free. You have to be a celebrity to get people to read about your normal life.

June 4th, 2011 at 4:11 pm

Thank you for this post. It is Very Useful and interesting information, but I don’t like Google Adsense.

June 4th, 2011 at 6:25 pm

I wish you the best of luck.

June 6th, 2011 at 1:48 pm

Wow. Pretty enlightening. I have thought that the social linkers would be willing to pay. But your point is just the opposite. Thanks for the post.

June 6th, 2011 at 1:57 pm

Good to know that picture searching is pretty much useless as a strategy.

June 6th, 2011 at 2:16 pm

Its true. Social clickers don’t become social buyers very often.

June 7th, 2011 at 12:01 pm

I liked them before. And now I come here by proving them. They are really good marketing tips. What I had to do and what to do not. I learned them very well.

June 9th, 2011 at 7:00 am

This seems to be a little too general for marketing.

June 9th, 2011 at 12:39 pm

Yes correct I think working on SEO is most important rather than only adding content to the blog.
Keep up the good work, really effective for marketing strategies

June 10th, 2011 at 10:03 am

I just want to say laughing out loudly. I really enjoyed reading your post it was very interesting. Basically all of them are true. And the Adsense system seems to me really worthless. Thanks for sharing.

June 14th, 2011 at 1:25 am

Really this is one of the best article which i have ever seen. Before to read it i have always seen the importance of these stuff and now have some different point of view what ever i have read before.

June 15th, 2011 at 11:58 am

A key point is brought out in this article – give people what they want. This entails finding a niche with a need and then a product to fulfil it. Too many start out with a product, whether someone esles’s or their own creation, and market it without identifying a demand. If they’ve created their own producy this can be a huge waste of time and money.

Look at the niche, identify the problem and then find or create the product!

June 21st, 2011 at 9:15 pm

To some adsense is like everything.. and to others its just a second choice. I totally with the 5 tips you just gave.

Very helpful information. Keep up this blog. Thanks!

July 9th, 2011 at 3:46 pm

I have found that when using Adsense, DO NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS OF YOUR SITE. They will think they are doing you a favor by clicking on ads, this can be very bad.

I love the talk of finding a niche, this is truly a gift. Its hard to find a niche until it has become mainstream.

July 31st, 2011 at 8:03 pm

I do agree to all points above, though Image Search isnt completely useless, depending on your topic you blog about.

August 30th, 2011 at 12:44 am

I agree especially with the social points. It’s a new way to gain credibility, listen/engage with customers, but most are information/entertainment addicts.

September 29th, 2011 at 7:59 am

Thanks for the post. The strategies that you mention that do not work are helpful for a person that is starting to build their blog. I totally agree with everything you said, especially with the social traffic-adsense, people usually do not click on ads, because they think it might be a virus or spam. I have been doing some research on internet marketing and I found The Dalai Group, they do a really good job in online marketing, they focus on quality customers and followers. One of their specializations is the Hispanic market in the US. You should definitely check them out. I cannot wait to read more of your posts, thanks again.
