值得一提的是，这次leho.com并没有受到百度搜索引擎的特殊关照，直到目前为止，site:leho.com还是显示2011年9月16的快照，并未更新到新页面。

等待朋友周一发我邀请吧：）

在最近一次对您的帐户进行的审核中，我们的专家发现它不符合我们的政策。

网站站长指南：我们的计划专家会定期检查参与 AdSense 计划的网站。展示 AdSense 广告的网站一定要为最终用户提供独特、实用的内容，使用户获益，因此 AdSense 广告不得刊登在几乎没有原创内容的网站上。此外，Google 广告也不得在非内容网页上展示。

可怜我要是没K，今天应该去取1500多刀的啊，他K的真是时候。我这个AdSense账户因为收不到pin邮件，用自己身份证号码验证的，估计以后也不能在申请AdSense账户了。看来以后垃圾站，采集内容神马的不好混了。虽然这个规定以前就有，可是明显的从朋友和自己的经历中看到，Google对这个条款的执行越来越严格了。

同时这邮件让我以前的猜测得到更多印证：Google会对某些AdSense账户定期进行审查，如今这个审查越来越普遍和频繁了。

还有一个问题，AdSense账户被封之后，又收到一个AdSense封我某个域名的邮件，这说明：

1. AdSense域名被封和账户被封是两个不同的小组在检查
2. 如果1不成立，那就是封域名的邮件发送比封AdSense账户的邮件有很大的延迟。

我前天对广告做了关键词设定，希望点击率能高一点，6个点击6.25美金，我相信能有这个单价的联盟是少之又少，而且还有一个非常非常让人惊喜的地方，这个广告联盟支持中文广告。

目前我还没收到钱，貌似100刀开始支付，如果我收到钱了，就给大家详细讲讲这个联盟，我现在只能透露这个广告联盟是一个行业联盟，看来不只是行业站赚钱，行业广告联盟的广告也是非常值钱啊， 。这可是比AdSense神马的好多了，起码不用担心因投放AdSense而让网站被K。

前天看了《华尔街》（Wall Street）（1987），（PS：其实我很少看这类型的电影），我并不是搞金融的看这个电影完全是看到一个推荐贴，而且我最近正好也清闲需要重新给自己思考方向，确实有些迷茫。

虽然收入还在继续，但我晓得我自己的项目并不能长久获得高额回报，说白了就不是一个良性的事儿。我需要为自己找到新的方向，关于下一步做什么，我曾经有很多方案，可是最近半年的我执行力下降的厉害。我其实是在给自己找各种不靠谱的理由，去逃避去懒惰。我现在需要的仅仅是一个让自己好好做事的，靠谱的理由。

华尔街中的戈登说，他不是价值创造者，但他却是拥有者。他拥有财富，拥有很多很多的财富，当然还有很多的崇拜者。我在想，我到底是想做一个价值创造者，还是想做一个价值拥有者？Both of them！

我希望做价值创造者，同时也喜欢做一个价值拥有者。所以我要做的就是，创造价值并让其为自己带来财富。之前的项目，都可以算是偷鸡猫狗似得获得收入，只有一两个很小的部分是自己创造价值的。我要改变，我相信创造能为自己带来财富。

如何产生有价值的东西？如何判定我做的是有价值的？就做网站来说，为用户提供有价值的内容或者工具，帮助用户决策，帮助用户省钱，帮助用户解决问题等，都是有价值的。是的，我就打算这么做。

事情是这样的，我的一个网站被AdSense封了，我因为没留意AdSense的邮件而没处理这个事儿，所以AdSense的代码也没从这个域名撤销，按照规则应该是AdSense将不再这个网站上展示广告了，可是我统计到依然有AdSense的点击。我还以为这是AdSense系统误判呢，结果我自己访问页面，AdSense确实是不展示的，但有广告点击，我心想这样也好，只要有点击应该还是有收入的。

没想到啊没想到，我前天特意看了下收入来源，按照网站来源看，根本看不到这个站点。于是昨天做了一个测试，单独开了一个渠道来统计这个站点的点击，我看了网站统计，依然有AdSense的点击，但是AdSense的报告中却并没有这个渠道的点击和收入！

我相信懂的人就知道我在说什么了，AdSense的这种欺诈行为算不算Google的作恶？我用的网站统计是http://statcounter.com，我相信他不会造这个假吧，AdSense既然展示了并有人点击，你就应该支付钱给我。我不说那些被封了AdSense账户，导致以前赚的钱拿不到的，我说的可是当下正常的AdSense账户产生了点击却不给你算到账上。AdSense是我用过最霸道的广告联盟。

鉴于某位友人的询问，公布下统计：

今天Steve Jobs走了，Google的Pagerank也跟着走了。不知道还有多少人在关注PR，但是我相信做网站的人肯定还是关注的，有没发现今天你的网站PR没了？如果你不信，去查一查百度的PR，新浪的PR，Facebook的PR试试，不仅你的站没了PR，大家都没有了。

目前还没有官方的声明，虽然有同学爆料说有官方说明了，但我是还没找到的，而且我这里google的主页根本打不开，也不方便搜索。有说是Google的PR查询服务器换了，所以大家的PR查询网站都查不到数据了，导致查询网站PR为0或者没有数据。

其实不管PR是真的走了，还是假的走了，他早就已经没那么重要了，这个是普遍认同的观点。

最新消息确认，Google的PR查询地址和API变了，其实PageRank没有跟着Jobs走

今天全世界的IT人士最关注的一个消息：乔布斯死了。是的，就是苹果的那个乔布斯，就是让我们用上iMac、Macbook air、iPod、iPhone、iPad等优秀产品的那个人。

看到新浪微博的纪念方式，所有苹果设备在微博发的消息都显示：“乔布斯的****”，足以见得没有乔布斯就没有这些优秀产品的诞生。虽然我不是一个苹果的铁杆粉丝，但是我也不掩饰我对苹果产品的喜爱。

乔布斯走了，世界为之动容。美国总统奥巴马在twitter上悼念他，所有IT业内的大公司CEO们悼念他，apple的粉丝们悼念他，就连Google的首页也头一次对一个人的死放上悼念链接。

大家应该感受到后乔布斯时代的温度了吧。

可以肯定是因为我的AdSense之前投放范围过于巨大，被Google认定为MFA站长了。

被Google标记上MFA之后的AdSense会被做以下一些处理：

1. AdSense小组会每月定期对你投放AdSense代码的页面进行人工审核，一旦发现任何违反条款或者认为你内容质量低下的，会进行警告和封禁域名的处理
2. 这个AdSense所投放的站点，被列为Google严密审查对象，就像是一把刀子到了一个有前科的人手里，他成为凶器的可能性就非常大了。稍微不是高质量的站点，就会被Google删除收录，直接k掉你的站点。
3. AdSense账户将有非常大的风险被Google关闭，你将失去你所有在AdSense的钱和账户本身

1. 少于10个高质量的，有意义的页面（none bs content这个我不晓得如何翻译）

拥有超过10个页面绝对是有好处的（大多数的mini站点都是1~6个页面而已）。但是这并不是一条硬性的规则，也不是说你有很多页面，就一定能躲过惩罚，我有几十个页面的站点被google删除的，也听说过几百个页面的站点被google删除收录的，仅仅是因为他站点的广告投放样式看起来就像是MFA站点。就算你有一个丰富内容的网站，但是你的AdSense放在目录下，或者导航下面，以迷惑访问者让他看起来像是菜单、导航一样，那么再多的内容也帮不上你。

2. 所有网站都使用同一个模板

这是个大错误。如果你所有网站都使用同一个模板，那你就祈求上天的保佑吧。这对google来说是一个巨大的信号，告诉google你的站点是FMA的工厂。我不能确切的告诉你，到底是30个网站用一个模板会出问题，还是多少个，但那些靠K你网站生活的人都不是傻子。如果你看到有人用一个模板做了很多站，那肯定是在批量生产网站。

3. 一个做好seo优化的模板（尤其是那些很知名的）

有一些模板被很多人用来投放AdSense，千万别用这种模板。任何做seo的blogger做的模板都别用，尽量让你每个站都使用自己的模板，做好用户体验优化，而不是为了点击率的做优化！这就意味着，那些放在标题下面的广告，考虑删除他们吧。每个页面只放2~3个广告即可，google会或者将来就会删除你的网站，仅仅因为他使用这种纯粹为AdSense点击优化的模板。

4. 使用关键词工具分析出的关键词来组成标题

好吧，我们都是这么做的。但是，从现在开始，我劝你别在这样做了。你想写一个关键词优化过的好标题，只需要正常的使用关键词短语就好了，千万别拼凑关键词组成标题。一个充满关键词的标题既可以让你获得好的关键词排名，也可以让你的网站被google打上MFA的标记！

Let’s see, if I’m writing about “Midget Thongs” and I write five posts with “Child Midget Thong, Childs Midget Thong, Child Midget Thongs, Midget Thong for Child, Chidren’s Midget Thong and Kids” it’s pretty fucking obvious these posts are not written with the reader in mind. Don’t do this shit – it’s a one way ticket to the deindex hell. Use real titles that your English teacher might be proud of. You can still incorporate a few choice keywords into the mix and still write a good title. But don’t make all your titles seem like a copy and paste right from the keyword tool.

5. SEO写作

首先我这里不是说正常的SEO写作会导致被google惩罚。我是说那些堆砌长尾关键词，并不断的用加粗之类的手法强调关键词的写作方式，一般来说表现的都比较笨拙，一看就晓得你是在故意堆砌关键词了。这些因素确实有利于获得较好的google排名，可是他却严重损害访客的阅读，也并没有提供多少有价值的信息。

6. 使用同一个主机账户

如果你有很多个站点，千万别把他们都放在同一个主机上。你也许认为这样没什么，但是你不觉得这样让google惩罚你变得非常容易吗？也更容易引起Goolge的注意，（我一直说做多站点的，一定要低调），更容让google惩罚你。即使你没有投放AdSense或者Amazon之类的广告，你也应该保持一个主机上的站点在20个以下。

7. 所有站点都投放同一个AdSense账号

如果你读过我之前的一篇介绍（一个AdSense与做站的秘密），或者看了上一篇日志“MFA模式已死”，对这个问题应该不会不清楚了。不要把所有鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里，就是这个道理。

8. 投放太多的广告单元

投放的广告并不是越多越好。我发现有时候只投放一个广告单元，比投放多个广告单元能获得更多的收入（当然这不是一个普适的规律，要看你使用的模板和网站主题了），我怀疑是因为只投放一个广告比投放多个广告的时候，更容易展示那些高价广告。我现在更喜欢投放一到两个广告单元。那些在一个页面上投放很多AdSense单元，特别是把AdSense直接放在标题下（这样能吸引用户点击），你要当心了，很可能被google认定为MFA网站。

9. 把AdSense伪装成菜单

这是一个非常典型的MFA操作方法，把AdSense的链接单元伪装成菜单样式，很容易让用户误点，这不是google喜欢的，用户是把他当做你网站的菜单来点的，结果发现不是他想要的，就停止了继续点击广告，这样就会产生无效点击，不仅会让你的站点被google判为MFA站点，也会危及到你的AdSense账号安全。（绝大部分AdSense账号被封都是因为无效点击）

10. 投放AdSense广告

估计有人要发疯了，难道仅仅投放AdSense就会让我的网站被google删除收录？是的，不过我这里是针对那些垃圾站而言，投放AdSense会极大的增加你被deindex的几率。也许，我这里说也许，google负责删除垃圾站的员工是按照他们删除网站数量来计算工资的？所以如果你投放AdSense，就意味着你把自己的站点暴露在google面前，一旦你被发现是垃圾站，就会被他们清除。我并没说AdSense已经不能赚钱了，只是对于垃圾站来说，不再是一个好的赚钱方式了。AdSense之于垃圾站，这种模式不可行了。

以上只是翻译，要看原文，请点击：http://www.pihipi.com/2011/mfa%e6%a8%a1%e5%bc%8f%e5%b7%b2%e6%ad%bb.html

可以随便说点我的测试方向，因为自己确信了Adsense账户会导致网站被关联，一切与Google相关的服务我都没有使用在新建的站群里，这次我甚至没组建站群，没做链接，以防止被判为站群。3月份的一批站有投放Adsense，然后五月、六月的一批没有投放Adsense，只在几个流量较好的站投放了AdSense。（这里特别说明，我本人只有一个Adsense账号在投放）

在6~7月份的时候，随着Google Panda算法的更新，我的新站又一次集体死亡，包括没有投放AdSense和已经投放AdSense的网站，分别在不同的服务器，但是有一点，目前我唯一存活的站，只有一个因子不同，那就是网站的模板，虽然不敢断言一定是因此而躲过一劫，但他是一个方向。为此我在网上搜索其他人的经验教训，看到有个老外在10年对此事的总结，非常到位，要是我早点看到这篇文章就好了。我想了想，还是翻译出来分享比较好。

如图所示，4个月的辛苦努力被一下子冲进了厕所。图中并没有列出所有渠道的收入，所以每日实际收入比100到要多一点 。我原本打算这个账户能做到每日130~150刀的收入，那就是一年3.5w~5w刀的收入（相当于人民币二三十万），很诱人的说。就像图中的那样，Google删除我的网站之后，现在仅剩十分之一的收入了，因为还有一些bing和yahoo的流量。Google非常仁慈的给我这个AdSense账户下的所有网站Spammer VIP的待遇。之前做AdSense的小站来钱非常快，但是现在我发现，这是一条死路。我不会再发布我的收入报告，但是我会分享我的经验和最终结果。

如果你曾经关注我的博客，就知道从我建立这个博客开始我就曾是AdSense mini model的支持者。这个模式已经不在有效了，如果你想阅读我四千字的关于为什么这样的文章，请自便。但对那些没耐心，并且想继续回去生产MFA网站的，我想对你们说，“兄弟，听哥一句劝，就算你做了，千万别把你的一个AdSense账号同时投放到很多个网站上，那样你会失去你所有的站点，甚至是你的AdSense账号” 。

未来已经改变，是时候去改变和进化了。从Google现在的一些行为中，可以清晰看出，Google的AdSense和search团队正在疯狂的清理那些看起来像是MFA的网站和排名，只要被google认定为MFA的站点将会被从google的数据库删除，更严重将会导致你的AdSense账号被封。

问题并不是MFA的站点不能赚钱了，问题是这样赚钱简直太容易了（如果你知道你在做什么）。如果你知道如何优化页面，如何做链接，你的某些单个关键词的排名很容易打败对手获取好的排名。

我想声明一下：我并不是说把这些垃圾内容放出来赚钱就是什么极大的错误，这是普通的网络营销者做的事儿，大家都是唯利是图。好和坏，要做到恰到好处。我可以说我的网站都拥有至少几十页的内容，而且都是比较有用的信息，都是人工手写的。我的那些内容远比很多拼凑的垃圾内容来的好，这是很确定的。但是，当我重新看自己的付出和获得的时候，我知道这远远算不上什么。我只是根据需求生产了一定数量的内容以求快速获得流量，我和大家只是五十步笑百步。我并不是说大家都别去做MFA模式了，我知道很多人用这个模式让自己的荷包鼓起来了。我只是想说，我个人认为这种模式不值得长久做下去。

事实上，Made-For-AdSense的模式已经非常流行，Grizzly从事这个模式相关的操作已经好几年了，还有这个模式相关的各种培训，我也谈这个模式大概有一年多了，还有很多号称专家的家伙们到处卖这种关于“mini site”的电子书。当一个东西变得过于流行，那也是他将要消失的时候了。特别是当google开始花大力气对付这种模式的时候。

再说一次，我并不是说MFA的模式已经失效，不能赚钱了，我只是说他已经不在稳定了。这有很大的区别，我不知道你们怎么想，但我不想依赖这种不稳定的收入，特别是我还有两条狗，两个房贷，两个车子，两个老婆（开玩笑的）需要我供养。如果收入再来一次巨大的变化，这不是我想要的，我受不了这种，我更喜欢稳定的收入。

几千个网赚人员用数不清的MFA站点去分享google的排名和流量，这不是google想要看到的，google会毫不留情的把那些被认定为MFA的站点像寄生虫一样对待。

我对这篇博文思考了有一周了，现在有很多其他同行也已经意识到和我一样的问题。在Grizzly的最新关于用AdSense赚钱的文章里，他提到了为什么MFA模式已经不在那么稳定了。排名第一的关于“make money online”的博客被blogger.com当做“Spam”给删除了，正因为他是谈关于MFA模式优化的博客。在就是我了，我4个月的艰苦努力呗google在一夜之间摧毁，上周几百个网站被删除收录，特别是我现在非常肯定，我的账号已经被google盯上了，就像是被标记为“让我们每个月来检查下这家伙的站点”，还是算了，我放弃这个模式了。

其他一些博客有收到过google的警告，但是我什么都没收到，我只得到了巨大的伤害，所有站点被删除收录，比封掉我的AdSense还要惨，我更喜欢我的流量。

如果你在做mini site的模式，在你得到真金白银前，一定要有一些垃圾内容对吧，而这不是google想要的，这种垃圾内容会影响google对网站的收录。在这种模式下，你需要建立尽可能多的站点，但这同时意味着你让自己陷入了危险的境地，你有可能一夜之间失去所有的网站。对不起，这种模式不适合我，我能做很多这种迷人的小站，当我赚钱之后，我甚至把他当做科学来做，但是我不想再做这样的没价值的事儿了。

这也是MFA模式死亡的原因：这些网站并没有创造价值。如果你搞来五六篇ezine（老外的文章提交站，用来获取外链）的文章（遗憾的是，95%以上的ezine文章都是重写的文章，copy-rewrite-copy-rewrite），然后在标题下放个广告，用一个简单丑陋的模板，再来个有各种小图片广告的sidebar，你就有一个MFA的站点了。

你可能继续争辩说自己的站并不是MFA站点，你的内容都是高质量的，我要告诉你的是，那些检查你网站的人并不会认为你那4个页面的网站内容是多么有用的信息，或者你的写作风格。只要你的站点有任何暗示是MFA网站的可能性，你所有在同一个AdSense账户下的都处于危险中了。令人遗憾的是，你也许80%的站点都是非常好的，但只要你有20%的站点是垃圾站，你就有可能被google惩罚。AdSense和search团队并不会挨个去检查你的站点，即使他们挨个检查了，那结果也是一样。。。。

对于MFA网站有巨大的争议。有很多人在教别人如何用AdSense谋生：制作网站，投放AdSense，继续做下一个网站，如此下去。也许两三年之后，你可能会获得一笔财富。

我不再支持这种模式是因为我认为他不在稳定了，你可能一时获益，但你最终会失去你的网站。我并不认为告诉人们这个模式还是一片绿洲会让我更受欢迎，但这就是事实。

汗一下，内容还是太多，真不晓得这老外哪里来的劲儿，估计和我一样损失太惨吧，我留一段不翻译，大家自己看，都是比较简单的英文

Now, I should address this question here before I get it in the comments: “how many sites is too much?” My answer is, how many real, legit sites can you actually create? I’m not talking those 5-6, page set-and-forget sites, but living sites that are updated semi regularly and don’t feature McArticles that you churn out in 10 minutes (or some poor Joe in Abustakeshumastan churns out for 5 bucks). My bet is that you’d be hard press to maintain 50-75 sites like this. Some might be able to do it, some might not. In my case, Adsense only belongs on large sites with high value now — the so called authority site, if you want to call it that. If you want me to throw a ballpark figure out there, let’s say for the average person 20 sites or less on an adsense account (i’m not counting hundreds of hubs, IB’s or whatever other shared web 2.0 you put on, those seem to be fine). Most people not trying to milk the adsense mini site model don’t have more than 20 sites anyways, so by virtue of just having a shit load of domains with adsense, you risk become flagged as one of those MFA spammers.

So, aim for value with your sites now. Wow, I might be suggesting something very un-IM here: actually try and deliver some value. Value guys, does not come from rewriting ezines, it comes from delivering something new — if not in information then the way it’s delivered. If you want to write about midget thongs, well hey, maybe check out a few circus books about midget thongs and try and become a legitamate expert about that topic — you might find you can actually write your own articles. And mini sites, as far as I’m concerned, don’t offer any sort of value to the searcher — they (usually) create another barrier between the user and what they often want (legit info, products, etc).

People who defend this model will go to great lengths telling you how their mini sites are not made for adsense. I call bullshit. If you have 20+ sites and you’ve created them fairly quickly, they are MFA, no matter what you say. Any sort of adsense site that’s churned out in a sort of factory style is not a legit site. I don’t care if that’s 100 sites a month or 10 sites a month.

I’m not Google guys and I can’t read the mind of the google employee who may decide whether to crush your sites or not. However, YOU KNOW when you’ve created a made for adsense site. To have a site stick around with adsense, you need to create some real value. Churning out a few bullshit articles that you have no idea what the fuck you are writing about or paying 3-5 bucks an article to someone else who has no fucking idea about the topic either is NOT the way to go about this business.

This is why the so called authority broad authority sites like About.com and niche authority sites get such blanket trust ranking from Google – the content is informative, reader friendly, and importantly, not written to fucking score those clicks!

I’ve made a few posts about this on my forum, but I don’t think a lot of people really understand. You tell people you’ve been deindexed and they immediately go back to their thin sites and add another one or two posts of rewritten, bullshit information on the same MFA theme and feel nice and secure.

That’s not the way to do it folks. My opinion is that instead of spending a shitload of time building of a shitload of crap, spend a shitload of time building a handful of quality sites.

Now before everyone get’s paranoid about their 20 MFA sites, if you’ve got a handful of sites MFA and you are not making some serious coin, then it’s unlikely that your account will be flagged for an inspection. I’ve heard other people talk about 100 or 200 bucks a day bringing a visual. In my case, my account had broken the 100 mark and 2 days later all sites on that account were deindexed.

I’ve talked to 5 other people who make money online and they’ve all lost their money making sites the past year too. In every instance, they had Adsense on the sites taken down! In many of the cases, these people had 50 or more unique articles on their sites and the content was informative, etc. However, all these people had dozens of sites on the same adsense account with similar style layouts (though different themes).

I’ve concluded that if you have a lot of sites with adsense and you start to pull some coin, you are probably going to get your sites removed, no matter if you’ve got a lot of content or not. If Google feels you are creating websites specifically to make money from the search and it looks like you are repeating that same formula over and over, you’ll lose your sites, no matter how much content you shove on a site.

下面的内容我将另开一篇翻译：十招叫你的网站迅速被Google删除收录

Now since people always want to know the How’s and the Why’s, here are 10 things you can do to get your sites deindexed. Guys, I don’t work for Google and I can’t say any specific one of these can cause problems, but I do know from my own experience and the experience of friends who have been spanked by google that these are some of the elements that may have caused problems with losing sites and accounts.

1. Less than 10 pages of quality, informative, and non BS content.

It’s definetly helpful to have more than 10 pages of content (most “thin” sites don’t have 10 pages, but 1-6 pages). But…..This alone won’t save you, I had 3 page sites removed, I had 6 page sites removed. I’ve talked to more than a few people with site that had 30 unique article sites get deindexed). I’ve talked to a number of people who had 50 page sites deindexed, just because the site had a MFA style layout. If you’ve got an information rich site that’s poor on the presentation of that information (spammy ads blocking the text, ads looking like menu bars, etc), the amount of content you have might not help.

2. Same Theme on All Sites
This is a big one. If you are putting the same theme on all your websites, god helps you. This is a huge sign of a MFA clone factory going on. I can’t tell you for sure that just having the

same theme on 30 websites will get your sites removed from the index, but the people who deindex sites for a living are not stupid people. If you see someone putting the same theme on multiple sites, they certainly are not putting a lot of TLC into that site or they are trying to mass produce sites – a big no no these days with Google.

3. A MFA or SEO Theme (especially a well known ones)

There are a few themes floating around that everyone seems to use for adsense. Do NOT use these themes. Any theme by bloggers in the MMO or SEO niche, don’t use. Don’t use that Grizzly theme that’s been floating around for a couple years, don’t use any of those SEO themes produced by members of the MMO community. Don’t throw on that stupid theme that seems to be on every fucking exact keyword domain out there. These themes usually have big footprint AND it ties your sites to the whole MFA system – something you definitely don’t want to be associated with if you sites are getting inspected. You can bet even quality sites that use these themes are likely to be associated with the MFA crowd on inspection. Use unique themes for EACH site, themes that are optimized for user experience and not clicking! That means those big honking ad bars under the title — think about removing. 2-3 adds per page, remove. Bare bones layout, don’t do it! Google has and WILL remove your sites just because you have a certain theme on.

4. Rip Titles out of the Keyword Tool

Ok, we’ve all done it. But don’t do it now. You want to write keyword optimized posts about keywords and the best way to go about that is to use the exact keyword phrases only, right? Right if you want torank. Wrong if you want to get deindexed. As good as writing titles for SEO is for rankings, it’s also a good sign that your site is MFA.

Let’s see, if I’m writing about “Midget Thongs” and I write five posts with “Child Midget Thong, Childs Midget Thong, Child Midget Thongs, Midget Thong for Child, Chidren’s Midget Thong and Kids” it’s pretty fucking obvious these posts are not written with the reader in mind. Don’t do this shit – it’s a one way ticket to the deindex hell. Use real titles that your English teacher might be proud of. You can still incorporate a few choice keywords into the mix and still write a good title. But don’t make all your titles seem like a copy and paste right from the keyword tool.

5. SEO Writing

Repetitive and clunky inclusion of long tail phrases, bolding of the keywords, always including an awkward keyword in the paragraph and conclusion of the article, etc. This might work wonders for ranking, but it’s annoying for readers and you can bet it’s something you don’t want the google gods reading over when trying to decide whether they should ban your little ass from the SERPS. Write something that’s actually helpful, something that sounds natural, please.

6. Use Same Hosting Account

If you guys have a lot of sites, please oh please don’t put them all on the same hosting. You might think you’re safe but it’s easy for google to deindex all your sites just based on this criteria. I suspect google’s formular for deindexing goes something like this: MFA looking site, lots of them with similar layouts, same hosting account = BAN. Even if you don’t use adsense and something like amazon, you should break up your sites into 20-30 sites per hosting account.

7. Put all sites under the same adsense account

If you’ve read this far, this should be pretty obvious to you by now — I’ve been talking about it for 3000 words. In one word, don’t have lots of sites under the same adsense account. Just…don’t. If you’ve got a lot of sites and you’re a stubborn fucker who still insists the adsense mini site model is the way to go, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. You’ll still get banned eventually, but it will take longer.

8. Too Many Ads

More is not always better guys. I’ve found that having a single ad can sometimes make more money than having more ads (this is not a set fact, it can vary depending on theme and niche of course) — and I suspect you get all the higher paying ads if you use a single ad bar instead of like 3. I like to opt for one or two ads these days. I can tell you if the ratio of ads to content is on the low end for content, your site is a MFA. In fact, as much as like the CTR of putting the ad right below the title bar, this “above the fold” approach may actually be too aggressive. It’s certainly one of the signs of a MFA. I’m not saying you can’t put that ad right below the title, but you better be careful that there is more for the user to click on (and see) than just an ad.

9. Ads Pretending to Be Menu Bars

MFA right there. If people are clicking on your ads by accident, you can bet your site’s crossing into MFA country. If people click on an ad by accident or because they think they are clicking on one of your menus and end up at an ad, they won’t likely convert for the advertiser and Google doesn’t like this. Plus, it’s bad user experience. Make a CLEAR distinction — either by adding an “advertiser” note or making some other way to distinguish menus and ad.

10. Use Adsense on Your Sites

Yup, the easiest way to get your sites deindexed is to…drums roll…use Adsense. You cut your chances down remarkably of ever getting sites deindexed just by not using adsense on your sites. All sites that have your adsense ID on easily spotted by google. Indeed, it’s a great way for them them to weed out all that crap — simply target guys who are making a certain amount of money with adsense for a visual review. Deindex, repeat. Maybe google employees get paid by the dozen (deindexed)sites? Who knows. Adsense is great guys — I’m not saying don’t use it — you certainly can make a lot of money. But for sites that are…well…thin, it’s probably not a good idea anymore.

What does this mean and where do we go?

The bottom line is that Google does NOT like people like us, people who use their own keyword tool (which was designed for ADWORDs btw) and knowledge of how their algorithm works to spit out sites that are manufactured only to draw in clicks. They don’t like the whole mini site model, period. I believe in their eyes, your small site won’t ever have the sort of value or trust that a mega authority site will.

So where do we go from here? I’ll just say this: there’s a lot of other ways to make money besides adsense. If you want to use adsense – and yes, you can make a killing with adsense – focus on those high quality, large authority style sites. Based on what I’ve seen the past month, those are really the only type of sites that Google wants adsense on, which is ironic since the smaller, spammy types sites make them more money. Those are certainly the only type of sites I’m throwing my adsense ID on ever again. The era of the small adsense site is coming to an end and if you are hoping to churn out site after site with adsense, you are going to get your sites deindexed eventually. With adsense, the option is to either go big or get banned now. If you’ve got mini sites that show potential, the answer is simple: develop them. And diversify into other income streams. There are a lot of ways to make money besides adsense mini sites guys.

What about me? Well, I’m still making good money through other sites so I’m still alive and kicking hard, but for obvious reasons, I’m not going to talk about those here. I’m going all out and diversifying into affiliate sales from now on.

I’ve always been pretty good about posting my earnings because so many people here talk bullshit about how to make money but can’t back it up. I think if you are going to offer advice or teach anyone about making money online, you need to have some sort of pedigree to back it up – otherwise, you’re just one of those moneyless noobs haunting DSP or Warrior forums. I think I’ve proved my point that I can make money online and I won’t be demonstrating that anymore publicly.

Since I’ve started this blog, I’ve seen a lot of the same people asking the same questions over and over, waiting for me or others to give them the magical information to help them make it rich online. If in a full year you haven’t made some decent money online, there are some pretty good reasons: primarily, you’re not fucking working or you’re waiting for some magical information that will give you an easy ride. You can make it big in this biz, but don’t sit around a table waiting for the scraps that whatever “guru” throws your way. Go out and learn new stuff and work hard and results will come. There are no shortcuts in this biz – the shortcuts that do exist won’t lead you to a stable income. If I have a get rich formula, I’m certainly not going to share it, because after 1000 of you use that formula, it’s not a get rich formula. This is why ANY sort of formula to make money online, by virtue of other people knowing it, becomes less and less effective. If you do the same thing based on a formula that other people know, you can bet your car that thousands of other people are too. That’s why people who “make it” usually keep their mouths shut about how they do so – they don’t want to bring down their entire income. Most of the “real” MMO bloggers stopped publicly talking about what they do and I’m now going to join the club.

Anyways, a long rambling post. Have a good one guys! I’ll be living out a backpack the next couple months, pursing my photography. I hope to have some winners to share when I get back.
