Blogger & Adsense - Step 1

As promised I now begin my series on how to use a free blogspot account to make steady income from Adsense.

Step 1

Go to Digital Point and access the free webmaster tools page. There is a link at the bottom right of this blog called "webmaster tools", so click there. (or just click here)

Once you are on the Digital Point tools page, select keyword suggestion tool. When it loads up enter a primary keyword in the "phrase" field. For my example I will use the word "socks". You will have to enter a alpha numeric bit of code that is displayed for your results to be displayed.

When you have your results you should see two columns. One for Overture results and one for Wordtracker results. These numbers show approximetly how many times a day people search online for a particular keyword. Notice the top primary keyword "socks" has the most searched for word, which makes good sense.

Now type the word "socks" into the MSN search bar and notice the results. Now look for the orange words at the top of the page;

Web Results
Page 1 of 20,607,987 results containing socks (0.01 seconds)

Notice the results are over 20 million pages containing the word socks in the MSN directory.

Now type the word "socks" into the Yahoo! search bar and notice the results. Now look for Yahoo's search results in the top right of the page;

1 - 10 of about 32,000,000 for socks - 0.10 sec.

Now type the word "socks" into the Google search bar and notice the results. Now look for Google's search results in the top right of the page;

Results 1 - 10 of about 63,800,000 for socks [definition]. (0.11 seconds)

This tells me that trying to compete for just the word "socks" is a bad idea. There are way too many competing pages in the big three search engines. So what do you do?

I explain exactly what to do in the next installment of this series. When you are finished using my free tutorial check out Rob's ebook, which takes you much further. My short tutorial is for beginners, while Blogging to the bank is the authority on how to use your Blogger account to make money.
