August is the month when everything seemed to slow down really.
Adsense traffic and CTR, sales volumes, overall traffic to sites… And to be frank I expected August to be my worst month of 2011, as the “dead” period was so long… But during the last days of the months things started to pick up so fast and I saw nice increase in sales. Especially one of my sites that didn’t make a sale for 3 weeks straight. It got over 1200 clicks to the offer (imagine the traffic!) but the conversion rate was around 0.75% – and it was for a product name keyword! Only last days of August brought in those long awaited leads.
OK, down to the results:
August 2011 – $6089.50
It looks like another record? Seems like that…
WSOs…
OK, I spent over $1000 this month, mostly due to buying WSO almost on a daily basis. Once you appear on someone’s list, this becomes a nightmare – every single day you get these “brilliant” methods, case studies and traffic grtting plugins that will make your whole online adventure a breeze!
The same guru stuff, but on a WarriorForum level… The strategy is pretty simple – release some WSO (like how to got a whole site to the top of google with a “SECRET” strategies proven to work), build a list – and promote other WSOs every single day!
Soon I discover a lot of folders with ebooks and sheets on my hard drive, and a couple hundred bucks sent to the WSO releasers. Well, I have to say many WSO’s are nothing new, but there were a couple of cool things to add to arsenal. I even thought of doing the same, as with my level of skills I could easily release several WSOs on different SEO tricks, but I’d prefer not to create competition.
Anyway, in Sept I decided to stop buying this, as it really distracts from the money making activities. Using own brain helps a lot more.
AdSense…
Stating from Sept, I decided to put some serious effort into building adsense sites. I already got my 1st one ready. As the owner of the famous CTR theme, I decided to see how it works. My main niches in adsense will be education/medicine and related. Adsense sites are much easier to SEO comparing to the affiliate sites, as there’s no clear commercial intent behind these (you can easily turn off adsense blocks when submitting to some directories etc..) and generally the more traffic you get, the more clicks you get.
With affiliate sites this is not the case – you need targeted traffic, otherwise the site will not make any sales at all.. And this targeted traffic is much harder to get, as there are 1000s of other guyes smart enough to target the same converting keywords.
Best ClickBank Month Ever
Yes August made me $1129.69 on Clickbank. How I did this? I just decided to play with the product launch in the IM niche. I took the #1 rankings for the Rankd and Pillage set of keywords, and dominated these terms during the launch day, and weeks afterwards.
This strategy can bring a lot of money, and I only made $862.39. With the right approach, you can make thousands upon thousands. It’s not hard, just provide high quality content and some good on-page and off page SEO. All the methods I used are here in this blog.
August 14 was a great day, bringing over $200 in CB only… What I can say, Rank and Pillage is a great course, I bought it myself in order to write a good review, and looking at my stats, I only had 3 refunds with 39 sales.
Check Out Rank and Pillage Here
Sorry for my shameless affiliate link 
It’s only for those readers who start in affiliate marketing and want to learn successful strategies from A to Z.
Other Plans
I work a lot on affiliate sites for different markets. My plans are to maximize the leverage of outsourcing and get a good system for launching/ranking sites. SEO nowadays comes down to how many services you can afford + the right strategy. It’s all so simple. Top rankings are achievable for many keywords that seem too competitive… All I need now is a system in place to get things growing faster… $5K a month level is a good level, but my goals is to double it.

Hi Anton, you are doing really great. I am newbie and looking to setup some adsense sites. Can you recommend me some good adsense related product? (preferably under $50).
Can you tell me what kind of links you build to your sites? Are these purely from blog commenting and article directories?
Also. can you tell me which plugin you use to display those social buttons at bottom of your posts?
Thanks

Hello Marry!
Thanks
For the best you cand find on Adsense, I’d recommend you to read these blogs: http://nichepursuits.com – this is the best one where Spencer is sharing all his adsense building strategies for free (more than enough for ayone starting out) – you can also download his free ebook.
2. http://adsenseflippers.com – another sites where guyes are sharing a lot of HIGH QUALITY information about adsense, how to pick keywords, how to access competition etc…
ANy course on adsense will basically tell you nothing new after you read these blogs. So you can save $50 on buying domains or order content
My link building is really diversified – today it’s mostly high PR blog commenting (that I shared here how to find), lots of blog networks submissions, like Blog Blueprint, some article marketing with Unique Article Wizard, and more advanced stretagies like edu links, my own blog network and forum sig links… But with adsense usually all you need is blog networks submissions and article marketing. You can also add some high PR blog comments anytime.
THe plugin I use now (3 buttons below) is called AddThis – you can find it for free in the search plugins section of your wordpress panel.
You need to tweak it a bit: tick “none” above the post (or have buttons displayed both above and below the post content), click “Build your own” and add
google_plusone, twitter, facebook_likeinto the field. So there you have these 3 buttonsAll the best,
Anton
