The $3000 per month Google Adsense Project...

[kgun]

In my experience it has more to do with the size of the country. People in small countries usually have a more difficult time to think big like americans are used to. Also the fact that in europe every country speaks another language doesn't help much. You can't target the all of europe with 1 language.

Yes that is my point, and may be the reason why PPC is not so popular here. In my view advertisers should think more about branding and pay per static brand link.

Irish publishers are in a much better situation than Norwegian. They have a natural UK / US market as their target. And Brazilian publishers with a large Portuguese and Spanish speaking market should have a great potential.

Our wage level is so high at present, that you have to have millions of hits / month to make any money on those ad's.

So my Scandinavian model is a direct agreement and pay per static brand link.

Today, I changed the heading of my article to:

Pay per static brand link a better solution for professional publishers.

Completely depends on what market you´re targeting. There are markets where you can make good money with Adsense and at high values per click. It's not all 4 cent per clicks markets. There are markets that pay whole euro's per click. You just need to find them..

Or AdsenseBot?

Do you think affiliate providers like my model?

Can you give a short summery of your model?

Sorry about that, but I don't have the time to read and try to figure out the whole thing.

Stable brand links negotiated directly between the publisher and advertiser.

[kgun]

Isn't that another word for link selling? Yes it is.

Branding via the link is most important though. The link is stable for a negotiated periode and can be nofollowed.

It is also an advantage if the site is known (I wrote professional publishers). An obvious advantage is that the publisher gets control over his own site / eProperty. I have seen ugly broken links on fairly well known sites. You can read more about this in my short article linked to above. The publisher deletes the link when the "branding periode" is not renewed.

Hope that that clear my point. Back to the pure AdSense topic.

[Peter (IMC)]

Those kinds of links work of course, but there's a difficulty there. In order to get publishers interested in your website, you need to build something of value first. In other words, you need to invest,. time and money. Mostly time usually. That's time spend where you´re not making money. The advantage of Adsense is that you can start right away, and already earn something. And while you´re improving, so will your adsense income.

Also, branding isn't the best thing for business. Many businesses depend on direct marketing strategies. Branding really only works for companies that continuously have to sell to the same people. (or sell to huge amounts of people).

So you know that,... and you´re doing what exactly to do something about this?

You know that from an Adsense optimization point of view, you did just about everything that can be done. So it's time to think about the next step. Actually you should have been thinking about that next step a long time ago already. But you seem to be more focused on thinking of reasons why you can't grow.

Think about this for a while. If you really understand it, you can put it behind you and get to work to reach that $3000 goal. Right now the only way for you to get to that point is inflation. (Which will take you about 35 years at 4% inflation.)

It is a typical way of thinking by the way. Not trying to put you down or anything, but most people will reason things towards the point where it is better not to take "the risk". You´re an entrepeneur, you should know better than to apply that same reasoning on to yourself. Leave the dumb "do nothing" reasoning to others and let them envie you when you reached your goal.

Stop "wining" and start taking the actions (risks) needed to get to your goal!

Thanks Peter....

I just want to point out that I was trying to be humorous / modest rather than defeatist!

I do have a lot of plans in the pipeline, and fully intend to be earning $3000 per month long before I retire!
