I’ve got this question in my email last day. Since it’s something that many people ask, I say:
Why not to see how Google does on their own sites, for example YouTube ?
Many people adds a lot of irrelevant META’s that add nothing to the page (OH yeah: They add bytes, making it load slower)
So here we go with this example, showing that only 3 METAS are relevant. The page in question is a YouTube video of the Argentinian president. Now look how Google codes the META’s:
<meta name="title" content="Cristina presidenta">
<meta name="description" content="http://comparasuper.com Con todo respeto: Que hija de **** hehh! Prestar atención a los gritos de los negros del fondo. Cada que vez que veo algo asi estoy m...">
<meta name="keywords" content="presidenta, argentina, 2007, president, cristina, kirschner">
Only 3. RELEVANT. To the point, no need more.
TITLE: Your video title
DESCRIPTION: Your video description (Only first 180 characters or so, no need for more)
AND KEYWORDS: Guess what ? The TAGS you use for the videos, no better keywords than that.
There are zillions of articles about how to make niche sites for AdSense. Another question is if you will keep your relevancy and PageRank (Which Google introduced in 1999)
For example, this “Fetch RSS” delicious page:
Made about 300 € / per month in 2006…making about 3600 in the whole year, until some “manual adjustment” downgraded the page to what it is now (PR: 0)
In 2007 some changes where around the corner and my little experiment was considered “farm linking” which is not really. But the game wouldn’t run forever. Anyways it was nice to cash in about 4 thousand Euros in auto-pilot mode. I love to make money while I read books in bed.
And I’m sure that’s the best way to make it instead of being sitting down 8 hrs/ day in a work you don’t enjoy.
This days I’m runinng other crazy experiments, that I’m willing to share with my subscribers, but some of them are not going to be posted in this blog. Do you want that I share with you some of this tips ?
