It’s really great to know about your internet success and for sharing with subscribers of your site. I appreciate it.

Also, I just want to encourage all those who are intent on making a
living (outside of a 9 to 5 job) – Whether online or offline – That
making an incredible income outside of a regular job is great.

I left my 7 – 4 job in March 2007, with only $4.65 on my savings
account, and knowledge about the Systems which governs Money and Belief
that I can do it…..What was the outcome – by the end of 2007 I had
already generated over $300,000…..and I am still going strong.

To the success of all who want to leave the rat race and live life on their own terms.

So, I was pleasantly surprised when I came across a thread post about Cary Bergeron, and how he’s the “Silent Assassin,” if you will, when it comes to both adsense and flipping websites.

Long story short, I’m about to read the adsense recipe which I purchased a couple of hours ago.

Just goes to show, you’re never too old to learn a few new tricks and perhaps maximise the value of your site before letting it to the wolves on flippa.

Good going guys.

Today’s laptops can definitely handle any kind of online business you may want to run – assuming of course you won’t be using your computer as the server for your sites and that you’ll actually get a hosting account. You sound like you might be new to all this stuff so if this doesn’t make sense, just drop me a line at my contact page and I’ll walk you through the basics.

Is it possible for me to build an online adsense business using a laptop? I do not want to get into the situation where my computer grinds to a halt because there is not enough space to accomodate the web site builder and the files etc. Any feedback on the kind of computer to get would help.

1. I still stick by approach of using html for sites but in version 2.0 of my Adsense Report I talk about WordPress extensively. I’ll explain what themes to use, what plug-ins to use and what other tweaks and configuration changes you need to make. Just standing up WP isn’t enough and I explain exactly what you need to do.

2. Market Samurai is nice but I find myself using the Google Keyword Tool time after time. In version 2.0 I’ll release a video of how I use the Google Keyword Tool to find just the right niches and keywords to target.

3. This depends completely on your resolve. Any keyword and niche can be taken down it just depends on how much time you are willing to put in. Are you willing to commit 2+ years to rank for terms like mortgage refinance or child support? If you have the drive and the resolve to see it through you will make bank and bank hard.

I’m running behind on releasing version 2.0 but I can assure everyone it is in the works. With the summer upon us and my need for camping and 4 wheeling v2.0 has been pushed back a smidge.

I can guarantee that the Adsense Report 2.0 will be something awesome when it is finally released.

Great suggestions! I hope Cary stops by and reads this and leaves some comments. Until he does, let me take a stab at some of these.

1. WordPress is the BEST builder out there – and it’s FREE. It used to be difficult to operate but over the years it has gotten a lot easier to learn. I use WordPress exclusively and have since 2006. If you go the HTML route, I recommend XsitePro.

2. Best paid keyword tool is Market Samurai. This is the greatest keyword tool ever created. I have used it exclusively since it came out. Here is a link to it where you can download it and try it for free:

(yes, that is an affiliate link but I only promote tools and products I actually use myself)

If you go the free route, Google keyword tool is the best. Here is the link to it:

Google Keyword Tool

3. This is tough to answer because everyone has their own theory. For me, if you do a phrase match on Google, there should be less than 50,000 results. However, I also check using the allintitle: operator to get a sense of competition. But then again I use Market Samurai, which gives me all this information and more with just a few clicks. Seriously, that tool is that awesome. Basically, you want to avoid broad keyword phrases and concentrate on long-tail keywords – which are usually 3-word keyword phrases or more.

If you have more questions, please drop me a line directly via my contact page.

1. Supply access to the best and easiest SEO friendly web site builders out there that will help newbies build a web site easily with
out knowing html. Several need to be supplied as some take up too much space to work well on some older computers. Cary, can you comment on this and can you refer us on this thread to those?

2. Supply access to some tools that will find the highest profitable keywords with the least amount of competition. I know there are some available out there but forget the names of the companies that supply them. Cary, can you comment on this and refer us on this thread to those?

3. Supply information about how to discern what amount of competition is too much before we move onto looking at another main keyword and niche to target with our new web site project. Or, perhaps it does not matter about the competition since if a person keeps building links and quality content the site we build will eventually make it to within the top three positions? Cary, can you comment on this thread and answer this?

Thanks guys for the good work you are doing on flipwebsites and on Cary’s blog.

See you on the beaches of the world, Marv
