Sorry… just found Griz’s updated 2009 site about adsense… it’s always easier to ask someone than look yourself though. :/

Still, would like to hear about setting up multiple adsense accounts!

Thanks so much for posting this information… really good stuff here.

I’ve been doing research on your site and grizzly’s site trying to scrape together the basics so I can start publishing niche blogs monetized with adsense…

My concern is that a lot of the articles I have been reading on Grizly’s site are from 3 years ago, and i’ve been reading some more up to date articles (like yours) saying that things are changing and that folks are being banned from adsense, de-indexed, etc.

Could you elaborate in a future article about some (up to date) ways to manage multiple sniper / niche blogs monetized with adsense while avoiding bans?

My biggest fear is that I will spend months applying things I have learned only to find that everything is outdated, all of my sites have been deindexed and I have been banned from adsense for using “old tricks” that google is wise to.

Also, you mentioned that you intend to set up multiple adsense accounts. I would be really interested to hear how this is done as the folks at nonpoint meerly chant in unison “only one account per person” whenever this question is asked.

Thanks for putting so much time and effort into this blog.

Okay, so I’m trying to brainstorm the “types” of links that you can have. There’s the command in the anchor texts that open in new window, same window, or new tab, and then of course there’s image links. Then there’s links that link from PDF docs or .doc, .xls and other filetypes.
There’s .edu and .gov which are important.
There’s links from .com, .org, .net which are top level domains. Then there’s the .info’s and.mobi and other various less important domains.

and then all of the various country codes such as .uk, .us, then all of the 50 states government sites like .wi.us or .mn.us or .ia.us .fl.us and so on.

There’s sidebar links, footer links, header links, graphic and image links, title links, in post links.

In terms of PR you could vary your range on that too. I think you should probably have a lot more low PR links since they’re easier to get and more common, and use the lower PR to vary your anchor text, and types of link while focusing exact keywords on important links.

Then if you want to go into the types of sites you link from… There’s related links, unrelated… social bookmarks and social news, forum links, blog comments

Anchor text there’s exact keyword(how to bake cookies), parts of keyword in part of anchor text(how to on baking cookies), related keyword(learn to bake cookies, making cookies), exact keyword plus additional words (how to bake cookies for beginners), fragmented exact keyword with additional word(s) (how to bake chocolate chip cookies)

okay… so what have I missed… and how important do you think having these different types of links i?

I don’t know if this is true or not Geoff. I’ve added infobarrel links containing my adsense and I’ve seen search movement. So I am not inclined to believe this theory from personal experience. There are a lot of legitimate sites out there with lots of link juice that have the same adsense account associated with them. Does that mean that a quality authority site about redwigets can’t link to a sister related site with the same adsense ID for bluewidgets and give juice? So I’m not convinced.

It’s a valid argument though. If you are concerned then what you can do is link your site/minisite with adsense to an ezine or some other web 2.0 with some prebuilt authority that doesn’t have your adsense ID on it, (as you suggested) and use that to launder the link juice to your money site. Or get another adsense account for your support sites.

The new recommendation at TKA is to not have adsense on hubs or IB that point to your money sites. The idea is that the big G is devaluing the links if it finds a site with adsense linking to another site that has the same adsense account.

Do you agree with this theory? If it were true than perhaps we could get around this by only linking your hubs/IBs to your support sites (that don’t have adsense).

The idea is to keep things hidden. If 1st tier are my money sites, I won’t like them together — not unless they have a lot of authority, age, and in the same niche.

Second tier sites I keep isolated. I don’t want them all linking together in a big chain because if one get’s a check, all the sites are exposed. If you have say 20 second tier sites than you maybe can link small clusters of 2-4 sites together if you want. I like to keep things seperate though.

In general, I don’t put adsese on second tier sites. The rule of thumb is to make sure your money sites are protected. Mass interlinking between 3rd tiers, second tiers, etc defeat that purpose.

Passing juice is all about keyword authority. If a blogger blog doesn’t rank well, it won’t pass much juice on — same as a wordpress.com blog, or even a selfhosted blog. If you have a blogger blog with age and lots of backlinks, it will pass juice.

You can create 10 blogger blogs and link them to a wordpress blog or anything else. But if those blogger blogs don’t have backlinks, keyword targettted content, and age, they may not do much for linking.

Ben - First time commenter, long time reader of yours and Grizz’s stuff. I have a question about linking second tier sites to first tier sites (and the first tier sites are linked together - this is not necessarily a MMO thing - more of a get to the first page of google thing). Can you link one second tier site to more than one 1st tier site? And what if the first tier sites are linked together (but have no adsense or anything else like that associated with them)?

Thanks for all of the information and help.
