SugarFreeCereal.com once again was the best performing parked page.Just by adding Google’s AdSense to your website or blog you can share in Google’s advertising revenue. Google reported revenues of $4.23 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Thank you Google for sharing the wealth!

If you’re not using Google AdSense you are missing out on a great chance to earn some extra money.
I’m still learning the ins and outs of Google AdSense. As always, I will share all that I know and how I go about trying to earn a full time income from the internet and other web related projects.
Check out How I use Google AdSense on the following sites:
ClepTestBooks.com

SugarFreeCereal.com is another of my parked domains on Sedo.com. This site currently earns the most income of all my other parked sites. I've been looking into ways to improve the traffic that this site gets.
I have thought about Google Adwords but do not know enough about how it works. I also really do not have any budget for this type of endeavor.
I am going to search out some health food forums where I can leave comments. I have read on other blogs that this is a good way to send free traffic to your sites.
When you make a comment, you simply add the url as part of your signature.
Spreading your URL around in comments will help when the search engine spiders go to work.
So hopefully, I can push some more traffic to SugarFreeCereal.com.
Well, it would appear that I have been using the wrong term when referring to my websites and domains rankings.
I have been using PR or page rank, when I should have been using SERP or search engine results page.
The page ranks for the sites are not 1. The SERP for these pages are on the first results page.
Hopefully that has not caused to much confusion.
My parked domain NoFeesBank.com has not been getting a lot traffic. I noticed that I had added way to many keywords.
Sedo.com provides statistical information for sites that you park with them. The stats for NoFeesBank.com showed that the main source of keyword traffic was "free checking".
I changed the site to this one keyword phrase "free checking".
If you do a keyword search on Google of "free checking" there are over 72 million pages with that reference.
Hopefully I can improve the ranking of NoFeesBank.com. More traffic means more money.
Having a more targeted keyword should help.
Well, really have not done much work on my sites or domains for several days. Have just been keeping up with page rankings (PR) in Google.
NeddyPot.com have recovered nicely and now is back to PR1 for keywords "neddy pot".
My new parked domain FullBodyDetoxification.com is also a PR1 for keywords "Full Body Detoxification".
SugarFreeCereal.com is now my top parked domain. It is also a PR1 for keywords "sugar free cereal".
AsbestosisSilicosis.com had a PR1 for a couple of days, then disappeared off the map.
Websites CLEPTestBooks.com ChapterThirteenLawyer.com and FioricetDirect.com get little to no activity. I need to work on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for these sites.
I am not really interested in creating sites that require a lot a maintenance. I am looking for sites that once created will generate income automatically. Google AdSense is down so far this month. Hopefully things will pick up in the last half.
Worked on tweaking websites and parked domains today.
For some of the non performing domains that I have parked on Sedo.com, I tweaked around with the keywords.
Also, tweaked several of my websites, worked on keywords and content.
These are the site messed around with today.

Well, it has become quite obvious to me that I know nothing about Google. I have been trying to tweak the keywords on NeddyPot.com to help improve it's page rank, and now it has disappear from Google.
I am going to just leave the site alone for now and will see what Google does with it over the next couple of weeks.
A little friendly advice. Once you have a website or domain that has a decent page rank, be very careful about how you change it.
I still like what I have done with NeddyPot.com , but seems Google's algorithm's do not.
Added another domain name to my portfolio today. FullBodyDetoxification.com This seems to be a semi hot topic on the net and in the world today. People are looking for a way Cleanse their bodies of impurities and are looking for homeopathic methods to accomplish the cleansing.
If you do a Google key work search on Full Body Detoxification there are over 1.9 million web pages that contain these words.
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGIH_enUS242US242&q=full+body+detoxification
This is one of the reason for getting this site.
This site has been parked on Sedo.com.
FullBodyDetoxification.com
EyeCreaseSurgery.com is one of my domains. I bought this domain for the sole purpose of domain parking.
What is domain parking?
Domain parking is where you can make money from a domain that you own but have not created a website for. So, instead of just owning the name and not doing anything with it you can park it. I park my domains at sedo.com.
How does domain parking work?
When you park a domain, the host of the parking site will aut0matically create a web page for that domain name. This web page will contain advertising links specific to keywords for that site. If someone goes to your domain name and clicks on one of the links you will earn some money.
Back to EyeCreaseSurgery.com.
Why did I pick this domain name?
Well, I justed happened to be watching TV one day, a very popular daytime show that starts with "O". An Asian guest on this show was talking about eye crease surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to surgically create an eye crease in the eyelid, which most Asains do not have. The technical name of the procedure is called blepharoplasty.
Okay, so I jumped onto the internet and went to sedo.com. I did a quick search and found that the domain was available. I also did a key word search of eye crease surgery on Google. This revealed that there were over 500,000 websites with these keywords.
I decided that this would probably be a good domain to own. So I purchase the name and parked in on sedo.com.
Here is the current google search for keywords eye crease surgery:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eye+crease+surgery
EyeCreaseSurgery.com is currently a PR1 in the third position.
I am working on getting this site to the first position. That is why I have linked to that site several times in this post. Keep this in mind if or when you get into the domain name business.
I am now the proud owner of domain AsbestosisSilicosis.com. The site is currently parked on sedo.com with keywords Asbestosis and Silicosis. Sedo has filled the parked page with sponsored links mostly from law firms.
I may be a day late and a dollar short on this site but hope that I can catch some of this PPC money before it runs out.
Articles on the subject can be found on NCBI's website.
You will also notice that AsbestosisSilicosis.com has been added to the list on the right side of the page under My Domains / Websites.
September was a very good month for me percentage wise. Earnings are up 537% from August.
The break down is as follows:
I signed up to affiliate with Amazon and E-Bay. However, I have not had any action from either of these relationships. I added an E-Bay affliate link to www.neddypot.com.
One of the my parked domains, www.sugarfreecereal.com , earned $3.44 in September. It is currently a PR1 on Google for keywords "sugar free cereal". For now I am just going to leave that domain only. But will be trying to come up with a creative site that will increase the its earnings potential.
What happened to my search engine rank for www.neddypot.com. For the past two months www.neddypot.com was rank #2 in Google with a key word search of "neddy pot". Now www.neddypot.com is ranked #15. This site has fallen out of the top 10. To see this site you now have to go to page 2 on Google after entering the "neddy pot" search term.
Neddypot.com was a parked page on www.sedo.com until this month (September). I have read that a static page (content does not change) will over time improve its ranking in the Google search engine. So, obviously changing from a parked page to an actual site has caused the site to loose it's ranking.
I have updated the html meta description tag.
This is what is now in that tag "
"Best neddy pot, neti pot information. Neddy pot or (jala neti pot) and nasal irrigation systems and solutions. Nasal rinse systems and solutions."
This description is closer to the parked pages description.
Hopefully this will allow this page to get its search engine ranking back.
I put a face lift on www.NeddyPot.com today. I downloaded a website template from OSWD. Really makes the site pop. For those of you that do not have a lot of experience building websites, these templates from OSWD are the way to go. You can get a professional looking site set up in no time.
On the left hand side I added an E-bay affiliate link, the link uses neti pot keywords, so related neddy pot items are displayed.
I used the content that was in the original site and broke this up into three sections. At the end of each section I placed Google AdSense ads, formatted each to have the same color patterns as the rest of the site.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
www.NeddyPot.com
NeddyPot.com is one of my mini sites. It is currently my top Google AdSense producing site.
I worked a little on the Corporate Exit blog today. On the right side of the page I add link for each of the of the Domains / Websites that I own.
I really like the interface that blogger.com has created. Since I am a newbie to blogging, it makes getting started really easy.
I am not really happy with the format of www.cleptestbooks.com. I'm considering converting that website into a blog style site. Think I will start working on this in the next couple of days.
I really think by converting this into a blog style site that I can improve Google AdSense click through rate for that site.
Also, have a couple of other ideas to create blog style web sites for some of the other domains that I own.
I will also be exploring ways to affiliate with Amazon, E-bay and Commission Junction.
I have worked in the corporate world ever since graduating from high school over 20 years ago (1986). For the past nine years I have worked in the banking industry. The pay and the benefits are great, but it just seems that the more I work the more I want to get out.
I have made several meager attempts, over the years, to exit the corporate world. Listed below are some of different things that I have tried.
I have been tinkering around with domain parking, website building and incorporating Google Adsense into these web sites.
I starter with domain parking in May 2007. I have had very little success in this area . I bought 14 domain names and parked them on www.sedo.com.
Monthly income from these parked sites breaks down as follows:
Beginning in September 2007, I started turning some of thse domains into websites. I signed up with www.1and1.com for domain hosting and started developing some of these sites. So far
have been developed. I am not real happy with the layout of any of these. But at least its a start.
