AdSense Blogging - WordPress AdSense System

Google AdSense has been talked about, hyped about and even criticized over the past year. At the same time, WordPress has emerged as one of the leading blogging platforms used by almost all A-list bloggers. What do these two have in common?

I just came across Gobala Krishnan’s “WordPress AdSense System” course that combines the two, showing you how to create “autopilot sites” that make money from AdSense:

Here’s my review of the product, and why you should get yourself a copy.

(1) Overall Impression

When I read that this product has been selling well since 2006, I was pretty relieved. That’s because most ebook guides fizzle out and get outdated within six months. Gobala actually updates this guide from time to time to keep current with all the changes taking place in the blogging world. In fact according to Gobala the only changes he makes are the screenshots and URLs - the tactics and strategies he mentions in the book don’t need to be updates are they are time-tested and will work for anyone, for the foreseeable future.

(2) The E-book Guide and Tips

Flipping through the main e-book guide (over 150 pages), I find that the earlier sections are perfect for the absolute newbie. It explains in detail common blogging terms, how blogging works, and what to expect when starting a blog. Then Gobala goes into more technical, advanced stuff including how to transform a WordPress blog into a static website, how to optimize your blog, and also how to get traffic to your blog.

Even if you’re not new to Google AdSense or WordPress, you can find a lot of useful information in here.

(3) AdSense-ready WordPress Themes

This was what actually caught my eye in the first place - 30 super-cool looking WordPress themes that are “AdSense ready”. This means that the AdSense codes have already been placed in the theme in strategic locations. All you need to do is enter your AdSense publisher IDs and you’re done.

I think the theme alone are worth more than what the entire system costs, and by looking at them I’m sure they can generate quite decent click-throughs for your blog if you were using them. After all with Google AdSense you make more money when you (1) get more traffic or (2) get more clicks.

(4) Keyword Research Tools

A simple but useful keyword research tool is also included in WordPress AdSense System. Keyword research is extremely important if you’re trying to build auto-pilot AdSense blogs since most of your traffic will be from search engines like Google. You need to make sure you’re targeting the correct keywords before you write your first blog post!

The package also includes “180 Profitable AdSense Niche Keywords”, which is a heavy MS Excel sheet containing thousands of keywords Gobala has researched before. Of course you cannot depend on this data alone, but it’s a good place to kickoff some ideas of your own. There are literally thousands of niche markets out there you can tap into that are probably easier to make money in that the niche you’re in right now.

(5) My Conclusion and Recommendation

I’m pretty satisfied with WordPress AdSense System by Gobala Krishnan. I’ve bought a few such courses before but Gobala’s course doesn’t disappoint. In fact I found it easy to read and follow. There are also a lot of video tutorials you can watch where Gobala shows you step-by-step, exactly what you need to do.
