Wahoo, just got my first Adsense paycheck!

OK, it only took about 9 months to generate enough revenue through Adsense to clear the 100$ threshold required before they send out a payment.  I guess Adsense won’t be a serious revenue stream for me anytime soon!

It couldn’t be easier though.  I have to say, I dig the concept of focusing on traffic and getting paid by Google for the effort.  Now I just need to figure out how to scale my traffic to where the Google payments are actually meaningful.

Content, content, content.

This is really SEO 101.  To drive crazy traffic requires crazy volumes of quality content, and of course a content platform that is optimized according to search engine best practices.  To get started on understanding those best practices, I highly recommend the book from those guys at Hubspot, Inbound Marketing.  It’s a solid introduction for those new to SEO, which is great.  It’s a bit of articulating the obvious for those who have been at Internet Marketing for a while, but even there it’s valuable from the perspective of providing a framework for explaining Internet (or Inbound) marketing to others.

As for driving crazy volumes of quality content, well, that’s between you and your imagination.
