* Anyone Can Do AdSense!

I've got a brand new case study for you to show just how incredibly
easy it is to get started with AdSense.

The target of my case study?

My mother. :-)

Now lest you think I am going to pick on my mom, just hang tight
as I am actually very proud of her!

My mom is a world traveler. She is one of those people who has a
wall map with pins stuck in it all over the place.

And she doesn't just do the touristy stuff. Nope, not my mom.

My mother likes to ride camels in the desert and camp at the base
of Mt. Everest. She just got back from a week or so in Sri Lanka
and has many stories to tell.

Anyhow, I have been encouraging my mother to start blogging her
adventurous exploits around the globe. Not only do I believe that
people would be interested in what she has to say, but she also
has an opportunity to monetize her site with AdSense.

Ready to see her site? Here it is...

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com

Pretty cool, huh?

So let's take a look at the steps needed to create this site.

1) Register a domain name. We did this at www.domainanything.com for $8.00

2) Select a web host. Since this is my mother we are talking about, I am happy
to host her site. However, usually you will get FREE hosting wherever you
registered your domain name.

3) Create your site design. We hired a designer to come up with her design.
You can find talented designers at any of these sites:

www.designoutpost.com
www.elance.com
www.rentacoder.com

Just make sure you select someone with excellent feedback ratings.

4) Set up a blog. Mom's site is set up with Moveable Type, available
at www.sixapart.com. You may also set up a blog at Blogger.com,
TypePad.com or WordPress.com.

5) Start blogging! This is where my mom jumped in and did what she
does best... share his story! Every one of you has a story to tell. So
tell it, and blogging is the easiest way to do it.

6) Apply for your AdSense account at:

https://www.google.com/adsense/app-single-1?apply=Click+Here+to+Apply

Give Google 2-3 days to approve your account.

7) Add AdSense to your web pages. Voila! You are done and
ready to focus on building your content.

In the case of my mother, she is VERY excited about her new blog.
And since she will continue to travel the globe, she will always have
something new to share.

So... what's your excuse? Are you having a hard time making money
with AdSense? Do you just want to make more money with AdSense?

Apply the strategies in my AdSense Secrets ebook and continue
to create quality content. Carve out your piece of the Internet pie
and you will begin creating an annuity that could pay off for a long
time.

And if you happen to stop by my mom's blog and enjoy her
writings, feel free to leave her an encouraging comment. :-)

Looks great Joel

I took the liberty of giving her a few backlinks from my travel site and others. Your mom can help my readers choose a vacation :)

There is nothing better than natural flowing content.

Hi Joel,
Nice looking site.

I am curious about the "Important Links" section. Isn't it against the TOS to label ads in that manner. I have noticed a lot of this lately and I was just curious.

I took the following from the Google Adsense Program Policies.
Labeling Ads

Publishers may not label the ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements." This includes any text directly above our ads that could be confused with, or attempt to be associated with Google ads.
