How to make $20,637 per month with Adsense

That’s $20,000 per month. $240,000 per year. Here’s a guide that shows you how to do it step by step with Adsense and SEO.

Have you ever heard of people talking about big quantities like this with Adsense? If you’re a webmaster I’m sure you know what Adsense is and I’m sure you’ve heard you can make a few extra bucks with Adsense.

Have you seen those checks claiming a few extra hundreds or even more than a thousand dollars per month with Adsense alone?

Achieving those numbers isn’t that hard if you know how to rank a few micro niche sites to get a few thousand views per month and monetize them with Adsense. It’s the same principle and basics you’ve read everywhere and it works with anything, not only Adsense.

I have earned a lot more than that just with Adsense back in 2013-2014 with my viral sites strategy.

A few weeks ago I published an interview with my friend Zach who is making now 5 figures with Amazon Affiliate Sites. Just 2 months ago he was making around $8,000 per month and now he’s finally broken the $10,000 mark. Good for him. 🙂

I know how it feels. I know how challenging it is to go from $1,000 per month to $10,000 per month and the key most people don’t know is how to scale their business to 5 or even 6 figures per month.

In that interview I mentioned a small mastermind I have on Facebook and we recently had new members coming in. Chris Lee is one of them, and the reason I mention this is because he’s going to be the star today.

Meet Chris Lee from RankXL

This isn’t an interview though. Chris has its own blog at RankXL.com and he documents his SEO efforts and income reports there. Chris worked at an SEO at a company and a few years ago he decided to go full time into this and leave his job to build his own business.

I think he’s doing OK 😉

Last year he started blogging his efforts to build websites and he quickly captured the attention of many readers from different blogs and forums in the niche. In December 2014 he posted his first income report where he earned $4,118 just from Adsense and his ranked websites. His goal for 2015 was 5 figures (A.K.A. $10,000 per month or more) and he quickly achieved them in January after one of his sites improved its rankings the first weeks of the year.

Nowadays he’s earning more than $20,000 per month. All from Adsense alone. You can read his income reports here: RankXL Income Reports.

Anyway…

I’m telling you this because Chris comes from a company and he is prepared to deal with Google the right way. Instead of creating small niche sites that can potentially earn $500 per month, Chris focuses on building big authority sites so he earns $5,000-$10,000 extra per month with each one of them.

His methods are not about creating a small 5-10 page website with an EMD (exact match domain) and linking it until it ranks. He wants to be the authority in his niches and just so you can get an idea, in January-February he scheduled and posted around 160 new articles for his authority site just to keep it growing in different categories (resulting in a good increase of Adsense profits).

This is different to what I’ve seen in many forums and blogs about SEO. But we need to follow the trend because this is what works now. Haydn from NoHatDigital and Spencer haws from NichePursuits have mentioned it before.

Building an authority site that you can grow to 4-5 figures per month is a lot better than growing small niche sites that earn 3 figures per month each.

I have seen this work with my experiments and a very good reason is because Google still wants quality in their search engine results. And quality isn’t easily achieved within small sites unless they’re company sites or something similar.

Another great thing about having authority sites is that rankings are easy to achieve once the site has grown up some authority. Sometimes you don’t even need more backlinks to get first page rankings within several pages just because your website has grown an authority under the eyes of Google.

How many times have you seen something like that?

How many times have you found gigantic websites with very thin or simple content and NO BACKLINKS ranking in the top 3 results just because they’re so big that Google can’t ignore them?

Think about Amazon or IGN or any big news website. Most of them don’t focus on SEO (at least not as much as we do) and still get rankings quick.

Well, that is the power of Authority.

Another reason why this is very interesting is because Chris uses Adsense in all of his websites alone. No Amazon, no affiliate offers, no CPA offers, no private programs. He focuses on Adsense 100% and he’s killing it. Instead of focusing on monetization methods he just focuses on getting traffic and converting this traffic into clicks. This is very similar to what I used to do with viral websites.

Nowadays Adsense isn’t my style because I have learned a lot of monetization methods, but I’m sure Adsense fits 70% of my readers and web masters around the globe.

So.. do you want to know how can you:

Do proper keyword research

Build a website with a good design for Adsense

Get out of the sandbox

Get links and start getting traffic

Monetize with Adsense

Plan and scale up for the next 3-6 months

In conclusion, do you want to know how to get an Adsense deposit for this amount every single month?

If so, keep reading because I’ve got something special for you.

RankXL Adsense Niche Course

I’ve been blogging about SEO and anything related since 2012. It’s been 3 years and a half and so far I have never promoted an SEO course. Weird?

Maybe.

I could have my own course, but I feel like I prefer having my own sites and posting case studies and articles a few times per month instead of building my own course at this moment. There are tons of SEO courses though. In fact, there are more courses around SEO than probably almost any niche in the MMO (make money online) world, but I have never promoted one.

I have written articles about tools and services to help you with your site, but I never promoted an SEO course.

Why?

Because almost any SEO course around the web is horrible and provides little value. I’d say around 90% of every course you find around to make money online is pure shit with awesome titles to get your $19.99 and then disappear.

I’ve spent several thousands in different courses (not only SEO) and I know the pain that it is to buy something and see it’s just the same thing you could read in a forum or a blog. Most gurus don’t even do SEO by themselves and they have never ranked a website of their own. They have read about it somewhere else and then they just compiled everything they could into a PDF and sold it at the Warrior Forum for $19.99.

No wonder why most people think making money online is just a scam…

But of course there are great courses too. You just need to know where to find them and you don’t expect to pay $9.99 for a guide on how to make thousands per month, do you? It just doesn’t make sense.

I’d rather pay a few hundreds or even a thousand four a course that will really help me learn the basics of a business that I can sustain in the long run than paying $9.99 for a PDF that will be forever archived in my computer without any use.

Anyway, I’ll stop bashing many of the courses out there and start talking about RankXL.

RankXL is an Adsense Site course made by Chris Lee.

From all the SEO courses I’ve seen around, I think this is the first one I’ve ever promoted because it’s a great course that focuses in something white hat with a lot of potential to become your full time income (click here to get it).

Chris has written 5 modules to explain the whole process from keyword research and building your site with proper SEO, to monetizing with Adsense and scaling the site to make $10,000 per month or more. Everything is very detailed and has images and graphics inside the platform to help explain the concepts and guides.

He also includes a lot of bonuses which will help you improve your earnings and track your efforts.

You want to threat this like a full time job? Chris knows this and he’s added a few things to get you started.

So yeah… this is no “Push this magic button and within 3 steps you’ll make $10,000 per month on Autopilot while you laugh your way to the bank” course.

This course is more like: “Want to build an online business and make it full time? Here are 30 steps you need to work on every day for the next 3 months until you make it“.

And it works. It works for me and for many other SEOs too.

RankXL course modules explained

RankXL has been divided in 2 parts. The first part is all about niche and keyword research and all the things you need to know before buying your domain and start building your site.

This first part has 2 modules with 18 lessons (or units) overall. The first module will help you find your niche, analyze its traffic, competition analysis, setting up all your pillar keywords and posts prior to launching the site.

The second part is all about on-site SEO and your site structure to make it an authority site that can rank multiple keywords in the ling run without having to work each page individually. It goes over some basic stuff like the essential WordPress plugins and how to use SEO by Yoast to control all of your SEO settings.

Part 2 gets a bit more interesting in my opinion because it talks about off-site SEO and some very powerful link building methods that most people won’t do because they’re too lazy to try them. This isn’t a PBN course. RankXL will go over several link building tactics that aren’t considered black hat so that you build a long term business and focus on scaling it instead of avoiding Panda/Penguin updates.

Any great blog with authority will focus on this methods instead of black hat link building methods.

The last 2 modules from part 2 are all about monetization with Adsense and scaling your business to multiple figures per month. Everything from optimizing your Adsense ads and WordPress themes for better CTRs are covered here along with a timeline and what to expect.

This is important because as I’ve mentioned, this is not a simple “push this magic button” course and you definitely need to keep in mind your effort and time spent before seeing results.

But if you are willing to do so and you make an effort, you’ll make this work. I’m pretty sure about it.

As you can see, this isn’t a simple PDF (although you can download the written content if you need it). Chris includes a few extras like a 3 month checklist on what to do, a small Q&A pack and even 3 WordPress themes developed by him to get the best results with Adsense.

This is a life-time membership, so you don’t need to pay every month and you’ll be able to see any updates in the future.

RankXL price

This Adsense niche course costs $197 for a few days while it was at $297 the last time it was open. I could even pay around $500 for it, but I know I value my business education a lot higher than most people.

So, if you get RankXL through my link (of course it’s an affiliate link!) you’ll get full access and all the bonuses added in the last months. I’m being totally transparent because of course I’m making a commission of it, but in the last 3 years I’ve never promoted an SEO course because most of them didn’t fill my expectations anyway.

If you think this course isn’t for you, you can ask for a refund. But I’m almost sure that won’t happen unless you don’t have the time or commitment to make it work.

I don’t know how months will it take for Chris to open slots for new members, so please don’t email me when it’s closed asking if there’s still chance to enter.

Keep in mind this isn’t a magic course to make money. You need to spend time and efforts to read it and take action to make it work.

Of course, as always, please let me know if you’ve got any questions or feedback about the course in tphe comments below. You can also email Chris with questions and direct support via email within the platform.

Talk to you in the next one. I’ve got a very interesting case study coming soon 😉

Update: If you’re already making money with Adsense but you have low CTRs and CPCs, I recommend you to split test your ads with Ezoic.

I stumbled upon hour site and I think it’s a great review done for Chris’s niche site course. However, I noticed there seems to be some inconsistency in his product pricing (currently it’s at $197, but it says it’s on promo at 50 percent?). I’ve written twice to them since 2 days back and still no response.

That’s hard to say since i have no idea, but if you had more ranked posts you’d get more traffic, also you can work on improving your rankings or even using other traffic platforms like social media or email.

True to say it’s very educative post in my view .I have inspired to see the treasure of success.You have mentioned some nice things that really important to focus on if some one like to earn massive money from adsense. I am starting my blogging to read this guideline. I hope it will bring me real platform that i desired long.Thank you so much for valuable content.

I just want to ask if you had problems with Facebook when they didnt approve Ads. My problem is when i start to promote articles, after 2-3 days one of them becomes dissaproved after closed review and they ban my whole advertising account, do you have any solution for this?

Martin, you should follow their rules and terms of service when using their ads platform, otherwise they’re going to ban you. You can read them all in their website.

It’s difficult to get an account back but email them every day and tell them you didn’t know you were doing a mistake and it won’t happen again. They might reinstate your account back in a few days or weeks.

Great Peice of content! Learned many great things. These days I’m busy with event blogging and I think that rather than just focusing on content I should focus more on creating valuable backlinks to my blog. This is how I can make it work nicely. Thanks for sharing these amazing tips and tricks with us. LOVED YOUR BLOG!!!

I have a problem in my Adsense account, I receive around thousand or 1.2k page views each day and my CPM earning from those page views can be hardly hit 10 cents per day and when I get one click my earnings can be sometimes good. So, what recommendations should I do to raise my earnings to earn around 2 ~ 3 Dollars per day?

Adsense is a CPC network. If you receive 1 million visits but only 1 click, they will only pay you for that click. But if you receive 200 visits and 5 of the click it you’ll earn a lot more than the first case.

What you should do is increase your Adsense CTR so more people click it by testing different ad sizes, locations and colors.

Hey, thanks for the content. I bought a few Adsense sites from a guy called “adsenselive.com” a while ago and they are doing pretty good. But he is buying the traffic somewhere and I have to pay for it. (no SEO was done) The sites do not rank anywhere. I still make 2x-3x a month but it could be easily 10x+ if I would know where to buy the traffic. Does anyone know where to go? I found a few places like “growtraffic.com” but turns out these are all scammers. I hope I do not have to do viral FB videos or something like that. Just looking for the easy solution here. :’D

You can try and check what are the traffic sources he’s sending you traffic from if you use some analytics and tools. But I also fear about your traffic being bot or semi fake as many people send websites with traffic using this strategy and at the end of the day the sites get banned from adsense (not saying yours is the case, but I would try to dig a bit more).

Hey Servando! Just one simple short question for you. I’m from a relatively poor country, Macedonia, and i’m DYING to know: Is it possible to do at least 500 euros per month, i would be more than happy with it, don’t even need more than that. Just 500 euros per month, and that is it. I’m talking about a website that would be working on ad-sense, and no special niche, just the type of site where you’ll see like check this healthy tips, these hairstyles, these cute animals, people that look alike, all that jazz, just a jack of all trades. Nothing all that special. I had a website in the past, i made around 2k euros in less than 10 days, back when Facebook was a bit different, but it died. That fanpage is gone now, i had 6.5k fans. Im wondering if i can start from the bottom again? Is it worth it? I would LOVE to hear from you! And thank you for your posts and time!

Hello Morx. In this example I mentioned people making over $20,000 per month. So yes, 500 euros is possible and much easier to do. You will need a especial niche, do keyword research and all the things that are shown in the course. You can’t just go and say you want to do nothing special and make money. That’s not how life works.

Yeah i know, i just meant that otherwise. Like, do i really have to be specific? My old website was called Women Style Book. It doesn’t exist anymore. And i didn’t had any specific niche. It was just a website for things like check out this cute dogs, or what haircut is best for you, foods, fashion etc..

I know you suggest that i would need to put a specific product/niche of what i would write, but is it really necessary?

I’m sorry I’m posting this here, i do realize it isn’t connected within the range of making 20k.

That completely depends on your keyword research and the competition available. A wide niche could be easy and a micro niche could be more difficult if the traffic is worth more. it’s never 100% necessary, but the proper keyword research will tell you how to do it and you need to take a decision based on that.

Hi Servando, I really like your blog and topics. I also started an adsense site but still without earnings, but i didn’t do any backlinks. My questions are: Which is the best theme for adsense? Right now i am using superAds, it was created for adsense it has good ad placements. How long should i write an article for a keyword/topic? Are 1500 words ok ?

Hei Servando, You are a really an awesome guy. From this post, i am really appreciated for make money with Google Adsense. I will follow this post for my targeted earning from Adsense. Hope so from you a post about how to increase click through rate.

Great post Fernando 🙂 I want to apply for adsense too i have my site set up and 20000 words in content and i started link building to gain some organic traffic before applying. But my main issue that got me really confused is how to get images that i can use on my adsense site. Can we still use google images today in 2017 for adsense? And if yes what option i must choose when i go to the advanced search settings? I can see there are 6 options which one i must choose? If you could also kindly let me know any other places that i can get images and with what options i would really appreciate it 🙂 Thanks again for the great value you are providing to your readers 🙂 Martha

So in your opinion what’s the best failproof way to make money online for a newby? That Adsense course you are promoting, if we follow that to a tee and work hard at it can it actually work fail proof? I really wanna make money online but I wanna know that the specific method I choose is as fail proof and clear as possible. Is Adsense the best way for newbies or do you recommend something else. ?

No course is 100% fail proof. The biggest problem in many courses are the students. Think about it the same way you think of school. No career will guarantee you a job or an income unless you put in the effort and it will come at price (4+ years of career plus monthly payments).

The course is an important part for sure, but half of the success is the mindset and efforts of the student. If you feel like you need to rely in a course completely and if it doesn’t work for you for any reason you’re going to blame the course then please don’t buy it. That’s not the right mindset.

As for your question, yes, I think Adsense is one of the best strategies for newbies getting started in this industry.

I have interest in the course does it still work for 2017? Chris Lee uses some kind of PBN to rank his wordpress blogs, and he recommends this within the course?. I’m wondering why I’ve already lost a lot of money in the past and want to make a secure investment now with adsense…

Hi, I just want to build a website (wordpress blog). it will be about healthy herbs etc. i just wonder if i can get some help or tips in order to get approval from adsense . im targeting to earn at least 500-1000 $ per month after 1 year. i have separeted minimum 500$ for hosting , Domain, and Premium adsense optimised wordpress themes. Can you share some advices about how can i start and what should i do in order to get approval from adsense and earn the amount i mentioned above?

The approval process is very slowly this last months, but a few things you could do: 1. write at least 5-10 pieces of good content. It doesn’t matter if you write them in 1 week or 2 months. 2. Finish your website design before the approval and add contact pages, about, etc. so it looks like it’s complete. 3. Create social media accounts (FB and Twitter) to make it look like it’s going to be professional.

Everything helps as Google wants high quality websites and not just money makers.

I was wondering. bEFORE I PAY CASH TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE CASH? IS THERE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE TO THIS PLAN? IS THIS A METHODICAL SYSTEM THAT WORKS IF YOU FOLLOW THE RECIPE? OR IS THE A STORY ABOUT HOW you MAKE CASH?

aLSO ARE THERE ANY SYSTEMS THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY more CASH FOR TO UTILIZE WITH YOUR SYSTEM?

It’s a system that you can follow, and they have a 30 days guarantee in case you’re not satisfies with what you learn. If you read the article you’ll notice how all the guides, systems and overall layouts in the course are being built.

To set up a website you will always need some initial cash. If you don’t want to invest money and you want to make money just like that it’s probably not going to work for you. All businesses require investments of time and money.

Hi SeRVANDO, i HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING ADSENSE AD PLACEMENT ON WORDPRESS SITES.

i HAVE RECENTLY STARTED PROMOTING MY WORDPRESS AFFILIATE WEBSITE AND INSTALLED THE ADSENSE PLUGIN. tHE PROBLEM IS THAT i CURRENTLY HAVE AROUND 60 VISITORS A DAY (ALL FROM fACEBOOK) BUT LITERALLY NO ONE IS CLICKING MY ADS. i HAD 1 CLICK IN OVER A MONTH..

i SUSPECT THAT IT’S BECAUSE ON MOBILE ONLY ONE OF MY ADS IS SHOWING UP ON TOP AND THE REST APPEAR IN THE VERY BOTTOM WHERE i’M SURE NO ONE SEES THEM.

mY QUESTION IS, HOW CAN i CONTROL AD APPEARANCE ON MOBILE? THE ADSENSE PLUGIN LETS ME CHOOSE WHERE TO PLACE THE ADS ON DESKTOP AND DISTRIBUTES THEM AUTOMATICALLY ON MOBILE, IS THERE A DIFFERENT PLUGIN YOU RECOMMEND?

i FEEL LIKE IF i HAD ADS APPEARING INSIDE MY CONTENT i WOULD BE GETTING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE CLICKS..

Hello Dana. You’re right. The official Adsense plugin places the ads in a way where they think it’s not so intrusive, but it definitely decreases the revenue. You can use other plugins (not official) to place the ads in the middle of your posts. There are a lot of them. That should increase your CTR a lot.

I have another question. I am making around $400 with Google Ads. I already have Taboola for native ads as well which Makes me around $500/month for my website with around 3 millions page view monthly.

The question here is, I am earning through Google DoubleClick partner and not adsense but the ads are more or less the same since it’s by AdChoice. However, in your opinion does earning through adsense give more revenue than through a partner? Also. Is there any more network you recommend that is not mention on your top 10 adsense alternative?

Wow, how long does it take to even get to 10000k a month? Im starting off fresh, and I have looked at your blog and the Rankxl blog for some insight. its nice to know that its easy to do but is that income just from one site that your making 2,000usd in a day?

Hello Maddie. I’m not accepting any more guest posts for the time. I might accept a few ones if the title or topic is quite catchy and interesting but the ones you offered at this moment sound a bit generic. I’m mostly looking for guides and case studies. Sorry.

Hi Servando. my name is Eric and i run a popular pet blog that gets Around 700,000 visitors a month. AT present, I am getting about $1,800 a month in income. I need your help. I can share all analytics with you.

Hi Eric. You have a lot of traffic. Are you monetizing it with Adsense only? I bet if you launched a shopify store you could do $10,000 per month. I’m sorry but I don’t give private coaching or anything like that though.

Hi, Servando I really like your content…but I wanna ask you a question off this topic. For a Few years i’ve been making money with adsense (5 figures easy) ,my accounts got disabled a few times opened new ones with the same address had no problems but these few months (from june) I’ve applied like 6 times the same way I always did but adsense didn’t reply yet not even a disapproved email or anything. could it be that my address is form Switzerland, did they ban my country (as are a few in europe) also I tried a few different addresses in Switzerland… Thank you!

Hello. Don’t take me for granted but I’ve heard many times that there’s a limit of adsense accounts you can request per address. I think it was 3 per address or something like that from what I heard last year.

So if you’re trying to open more and more with the same profile they might just be ignoring you for obvious reasons.

However, if you tried with Switzerland and didn’t help either, maybe ask some friend from other country to try it? Or could it be that you’re using the same websites to apply?

Hi Servando Just discovered your blog from Chris lee’s blog & this is my First time commenting on your blog post. nice review! I must say that it not the waste of time. Actually, I’ve bought the course that has been recommended by Charles float on his blog and agreed with Charles says:

RankXL Niche Site Course – Another niche site focused course, this site focuses a lot on Adsense sites but could be easily converted to other niche site affiliate programs such as Amazon.

I’ve printed out the pdf course of 361 pages (not included bonus), so I can actually implement it. agreed with you, “it’s a great course that focuses on something white hat with a lot of potentials to become your full-time income”.

anyway, Great review and very detailed! I look forward to your next post.

imer

p/s: i think your blog’s theme is from smart passive income pro theme by studio press, am i right?

I read an article on your blog sometimes six months ago about adsense earnings. It was so wonderful, I just searched for the article again, got it, after reading it again and again, I find it necessary to subscribe to your newsletter. I can’t afford to miss any of your post again.

Some questions to consult you He of course form is a PDF file, or video? To be honest, my English is not very good. Is not open at the moment, please? Payment via your connection can just represent open?

Hi Servando, i can see from your screenshot that from 4 million Views you have over 200, 000 clicks. I have a question, for 4million views I only get about 9000 clicks, what could be the reason for this?

It’s easier to think there’s a magic bullet that will suddenly make everything work instead of believing you need to work hard for weeks, and put efforts and dedication to see results. So there will always be people who think they can find a magic bullet and are willing to pay for it…

Too costly course..:( I cannot even afford it i wish you could have written the guide on your blog as well to help thousands of people like me. In the end we all want money . isn’t it? Anyways I appreciate your posting useful guides on the blog.

Last courses I have paid were with more than $2,000 and up to $10,000 USD. So $297 for a course is almost nothing for me nowadays to get started. Any business, or school or type of education will probably cost you more unless it’s something super basic that you can find anywhere else. I like to invest in myself to grow my business.

I am sorry Servando for posting a harsh comment on your blog but trust me I am very tired of paying for courses now. I don’t think I have managed to make even $$ from their courses. You are talented and definitely different from other marketer- why don’t you use a different approach, instead of telling your viewers/subscribers about all the money you are making why don’t u set some money making sites for them by having them invested on their projects instead of selling your course. Well I can already see that a lot of users are already interested in investing money on the set up rather than on the course. How about making set ups for beginners, this would be more lucrative. You might already have that century old proverb “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” You have got my point buddy.:) Cheers

Hello. Don’t need to feel sorry about it. If that’s how you feel I always listen feedback from my readers. First of all, this isn’t my course.

Second, if I setup things for others then I would be doing the contrary of the proverb. It would be like instead of going to school to learn business, you’d better tell the teacher to setup the business for you. You wouldn’t learn how to fish, but you’d receive a “free” thing that you couldn’t replicate in the future.

If you’re tired of paying courses then don’t, but honestly most people that get to that point don’t rally take action on any course because they’re waiting for a magic bullet to solve their problems. I’m not saying that you fall in this category, but most people do. Best Regards!

Hi, first off. Great post! Look, I have nothing against you but these are all teaser. You’ve said yourself, 70% of your viewers comes via Adsense interest. This is a promotion for your friend’s Adsense course. It doesn’t give the details on how did you manage to get that exact revenue on adsense which I presume all your viewers click on that email link to know ‘How’. Giving some would definitely increase your regular thus increase your new viewers percentage. Just my two cent.

Hi Servando, I hope it’s not too late to put another comment here. What kind of blogs/sites are good for AdSense ? In case of tech related sites, where 99.99% visitors uses some kind of Ad blocker to completely blackout AdSense.

Definitely tech related sites are some of the most difficult ones, but it all depends on your audience and they keywords they are searching for.

What I mean by this is if somebody is looking for “the best cheap phone” to buy then they might be a good prospect. But if they’re reading a tech site just because they love technology and read in in their phones on a daily basis then they probably have ad blockers and software like that.

I have some niche sites related to technology that earn very good money with Adsense. Since you’re relying mostly in search engine traffic for this method the niche doesn’t matter as much. You can check the average CPCs in the adwords tool to have an idea of what works better.

This course sounds very interesting, for sure, and I’d love to take it.

But is it a big stretch to adapt a course like this to be powered by PPC ads, like Facebook or google (realizing the Adsense monetization method would need to be replaced at a minimum) rather than natural SEO alone?

I’m disheartened by what I’ve been reading about SEO and it seems to me unlikely I’ll get many sites ranked in google’s top 10 natural results. Maybe I’m wrong, but my head’s spinning trying to figure out how. I’ve been using market the samurai software, and the competition looks pretty tough, even for small niches. But then again, I’m sure there’s much I don’t know.

Hello Chloe. The discount was back in August 2015. The course has been relaunched (yesterday) and it has a lot more stuff now and the new price is $298. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll update the article as this change just happened 1 or 2 days ago. i’ll see if i can get you a discount 🙂

Hello Servando, would it also be possible to see if you could get a discount for me too, I saw this article today but when I went to purchase the product it was $297 USD for me as well. Considering I live in Canada, converting it is a little over the budget I can currently work with. Any help would be apprecaited. Thank you

Hello Ahmad. I reached out the creator of RankXL but unluckily I couldn’t get a discount. What you can do is select the 3 months payment instead. I just updated the article with the links to that payment option.

Hello Chleo. I reached out the creator of RankXL but unluckily I couldn’t get a discount for the new version if his course. What you can do is select the 3 months payment instead. I just updated the article with the links to that payment option.

The course has been closed for new applications and will open more spots in January 2016. There’s no way to get in right now, but you can join the email list and be the first one to get in when it’s open next year.

I’m not an expert but I’ve been wondering this too and reading s lot. Id say no, not for natural SEO driven traffic. I think you need to build an authority site to rank now. A smaller site may achieve some success with PPC, perhaps?

But again, I’m just learning too. If I’m wrong, I would actually be VERY happy to hear it!

I am not sure 1000%, BUT in case I am not mistaken, do you think you should consider taking your screenshots of Adsense off the site (unless they are fake), because of their non-disclosure policy? I spend the last 20 minutes reading your blog, but to be completely honest with you, I find it hard to believe the info here is legit. I mean for someone who is making a living online, you should be aware of what you can, and what you cannot share with your audience. If you still use Adsense, and if you are serious about it, do yourself a favor, and read about their non-disclosure policy. I think you can actually google about it. If I am wrong, please let me know, and accept my apology.

Hi Mary. Thanks for your concern. I appreciate your feedback. They are not fake and I know people who earn more than 6 figures per month with Adsense ($100,000), so $20,000 isn’t that much honestly.

As for the thing about the screenshot, I’m well aware of it and there’s no problem by sharing just a quick snapshot of the dashboard. However, Adsense might ban you if you share the whole reports with CPC/CPM and all that stuff and that’s why most people blur that part out of their screenshots.

Also, this course is from a friend who’s good at Adsense monetization, so it’s not exactly my account anyways. I guess $20,000 per month makes him pretty serious about it, although I know he could scale it more in the future 🙂

If they are making that much with Adsense, why don’t they use a monetization method that brings in more money? Is their a reason why Adsense is better for certain types of projects, vs other methods, like affiliate products, for example?

Well, you can’t be good at everything. Some people do it with Adsense, others with Amazon, others with affiliate marketing and others with CPA/CPM networks. It’s all about getting into a niche and dominate it. Some of them move eventually to different monetization methods though. All of them have a learning curve.

I have 82 no. of domains to sale. How to sell domains. I already put it for sale in GODADDY & FLIPPA, still not sold. Pls help me. Is there any other good website platform to sell domains? I hope u will help me & give me any link for more selling tricks infos.

I’m trying to figure out whats the fix on this online, viral blog, seo game. You have a wealth of knowledge which you share to people like myself (Thank You). Viral Nova was reported to make at least 1 million annually before and after being bought by Zealot for $100m early this year. My question is this, with all your knowledge and ‘know how’ why aren’t you simply recreating this path of success for yourself? If so, what are the sites you operate? If not, is the fix to simply share know how advice in terms of being a marketing/seo consultant? Just trying to wrap my mind around the value you add in relation to you using it yourself i.e. creating the next buzzfeed, viral nova etc. Please let me know as I’m trying to get to the bottom of this game. stream-seo.com get thousands of visits per month, any help will be greatly appreciated. This is for my own personal research and will not be shared with anyone or company.

Please email me if you would like to speak off the grid powersuitnyc [at] aol.com

Hello Sean. This might be a good question for another article I have written here: Facebook viral sites.

As you can see, I did copy the same style and banked good money from it for several months. Nowadays I have just moved to different business styles as I grew a bit tired of writing or watching viral articles (same thing happened to Viral Nova’s creator). I still know several people in my circles doing the viral style things, but it’s not my cup of tea lately.

I operate many websites, but I don’t like revealing them as it can always be a bad thing. Websites come and go along with this business but competition is always trying to get you down.

Sorry, I didn’t see it before. You get access to all of the content at once. The 3 months thing is just an schedule so you can plan ahead and have a timeline for your efforts in order to see realistic progress.

Demo for the course? no. There’s no free trial or something like that.

$20,637 is possible and not super hard to achieve. I’m not saying it’s easy either, but a lot of guys are doing much more than that. I included screenshoots in this post so you can see what’s the content of the course.

Languages doesn’t matter. Adsense and many other ad networks work for every language. Of course, while you do the keyword research you’ll find Malaysia has a lot less volume than other countries so your traffic won’t be that big, but the competition will be easier too.

Hi, I have been doing SEO for the past 8 months and I haven’t seen any great success. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Is it okey to get only 9 visits from search engines after 8 months of SEO? I am currently ranking for more than 200 keywords. And I have approximately 40 pages. can you please help me

Hi Servando, first of all i say thanks a lot for your kindness sharing about how to monetize a website. I want to ask you something, i’m from indonesia and will start to make a fashion online shop website and i decide to make a blog about fashion too there in the same domain. And the question is what ad network that will accept publisher from indonesia like me? And my website is in indonesian laguage. I hope you will read and reply. Thanks in advance.

I have this Course. and i must say Chris has given a great opportunity to adsense lovers and after all it’s all about taking action and scaling the business. you need to be patient in this. you should build quality articles and focus on customer satisfaction. we all know the basic things like taking actions and following the proper guide still we try to find out other methods and try to find instant methods and waste our time. instead we should utilise that time in taking actions. so i would suggest to take actions rather than searching the methods. of course you can divide your time properly for your authority site and other remaining time for the Affiliate Marketing and money methods. stream-seo has everything you need to succeed. just follow the right person in this industry and you are good to go………also i have a question for Servando…it’s a formal discussion….what do you think about Blogging in coming 5 years…will it be dead ? or we need to change it to video …as the study says that video marketing will be the future..and most of the content would be in video in coming 5 years. what is your opinion ?

and one more…..Affiliate Marketing vs Advertisements in coming 5-10 years ? which would last long and what are your future plans….sorry for asking too many personal questions..but as a digital marketer , you can understand these…so, please give us your opinions and views…thanks in advance…

As for your questions, I don’t think blogging will be dead, but video is definitely taking on, especially in mobile platforms. vloggers are going to reap some good rewards but at the same time, monetization options for video blogs aren’t as good as written blogs as of yet.

As for Affiliate Marketing… that’s a very difficult one and I¡m not sure where it’s going on. Many advertisements are moving to CPA goals instead. But the methods are changing always and I’m not sure where we’ll be going to be in the next 2-3 years. Even less in the next 10 years.

i am just a bit skeptical. i have seen countless courses claiming to offer the same thing and most have proven to be a waste of time and ploy to collect money from people. what assurance do i have that this course is what it is said to be?

There are more than 160 members active at this moment in the course and within the fB private group and so far, so good. Some of them already generating great traffic and earnings. However, you always have the 30 day guarantee and you can ask for a refund if you don’t like the course before that time.

Hi. Ser ando. I’m just found. Ur website and I saw. Very important. Articles that I think we should apply. On our. Sites. How u say. We try. Many many. Methods. Black hat and. Theres many courses = shitt. And here I’m new on ur site reader. And I want to apply ur recommendations. Anyway U hace a lot experience too so piece of cake would be nice. I’ll get this course. Cuz surely I wana. Do. White hat seo way. So do u. Help us. Apart of Chris. If we have more questions I’m. N monetizame. Too and I don’t see ur class anymore I don’t know why if u have a good stuff. So. A write. A lot this time lol. Tks. For ur help. And. Ur exp. dude!!

The private Facebook group Chris mounted has great feedback and it’s very active. I’m there too if you need to ask questions. As for monetiza.me, I just uploaded 2 clases this week and will get some more before Friday.

You should explain why because you know… Google Adsense is a serious enterprise and it’s the biggest advertising network in the world. Please elaborate: – What do you mean by: you’ve given them money 2 times? – How can you deal with them for several years and not getting paid?

This just doesn’t make sense unless the traffic isn’t valid or you didn’t reach the payment threshold or if your accounts got banned for breaking their ToS.

I gave them $3000 back in 2013 and also $500 this year. Both times they told me I had $21,000 coming to me but I needed to spend some money to get the sight up and running. The first $3000 was sent to an address of a closed website business. I got a statement showing me what I was due from Adsense and that the $3000 was sent to a closed business.

The second time I sent $500 to an agency and was to get it back and never did. I also never got my $21,000 back also.

I have copies of my email and copies of my cashier’s checks but cannot get any good phone numbers for Adsense to find out if indeed there are still issues that need taken care. Of course, they still have all my money I sent and the money they say I am due. I also have an account number but nothing elase.

You seem excited. How about helping me out with this and I will gladly reward you for your help.

You’re not talking about Adsense. Adsense NEVER asks you for money up front. In fact, you never have to pay them anything. You just send traffic and you get paid when the user clicks the ads.

You were scammed by agencies or even worse, people trying to pass as agencies. Anyone who has worked with Adsense knows that what you did was not working with Adsense, and that was your mistake. I’m not excited. I’m sad cause you were scammed easily. it reminds me of those email chains offering you to send money from a country like nigeria but first they ask you to send some money upfront for some silly reasons.

If this happened a few months or even years ago, I’ll be honest and tell you that it will be almost impossible to recover your money. Don’t try easy paths like that. If you want to earn money with Adsense, build a website, grow it and monetize it. Never pay anybody so that they can “generate” money in your Adsense account is it’s almost always a fraud or against Adsense Terms and Conditions.

I know. It’s just an example that i’ve actually seen before. It doesn’t mean everybody is a scammer. I’ve seen plenty of scammers all around the world, including my country… But the Nigerian prince email chain is so famous and it’s been sent millions of times for years to many people I know. I think there’s a comic about that somewhere in the net.

I’m sorry if I made you feel bad. It’s definitively not my idea. Best Regards.

The course is 100% available once you pay. There’s no need to wait for more information. You can read everything in less than a week, but it takes time to build your online business, so Chris made a plan for 3 months.
