About iFreeDating, the psychology behind it and how to make money with google adsense (...continued)

By far the biggest and what generates the most internet traffic is porn. No surprises here. It appeals to our most basic need, to reproduce. We cant help it. We feel hungry, we need to eat. Here I thought is an area that would, by default, ensure some level of interest and appeal to both sexes, cross all borders and professions. Basically everyone. Obviously, a small fish like me could not just jump in and create the worlds best porn site from my basement and compete with the big boys, no pun intended, so I decided upon the softer side of porn, dating or rather, online personals. But even in this field there are plenty of players. How to compete with what's already out there? How do you carve out a niche for yourself on an already over populated arena? You take your key ingredient and add a twist. In my case I took the topic of dating and to set me aside from the competition I set out to create a free dating website. Goobang was born. It wasn't too long before I had some basic functionality resembling a dating website and decided that I needed a more descriptive website name, Goobang doesn't relay anything about the subject matter. If its not obvious to the visitor it certainly wont be obvious to a search engine. The difficulty here is coming up with something unique and that still exists as a domain name. How lucky was I in securing a domain name that was short and descriptive, IFREEDATING.COM! Not only does this tell you instantly what the site is all about but it also contains key search words that people using search engines such as Google would use when searching for dating websites. Having a good domain name is just part ofthe battle when you are looking at how to get good google rankings. You also need relevant content containing keywords that are likely to appear in peoples search queries. One good thing about creating a free dating website like ifreedating is that it is user driven, in other words the content is provided by and generated by the users. I can just sit back, relatively speaking, and watch the website grow. The hope is that by careful design and using the best search engine optimization techniques, or SEO techniques, to promote the website it will achieve decent Google rankings which in turn will drive visitors to my site. IFreedating was in rapid development and its membership growing daily with men and women deciding to sign up for free dating. More and more of my time was being taken up by the site and so it was about time it started to pay for itself. If you want to make money from a website one of the simplest things you can do is sign up for Google Adsense. Using Google adsense to make money is easy to do and with a little know how you will learn quickly on how to make money with google adsense. I've already touched on most of these centering around SEO. After all, no matter how good your website looks, no one is going to click those ads unless you now how to drive traffic to your website. Another point to keep in mind is where to place Google Adsense in your pages. This depends on the page design itself, for example, ifreedatings pages tend to be narrow and can be lengthy. I choose tower ads since they will still be partly visible as the user reads or scrolls up and down the page. To see an example of a tower ad on ifreedating view my profile. So, there you go, there are some of the ingredients on creating a website to get rich, well, generate some revenue at least.
