(update :: this question seems to be removed now. but its still relevant so keep on reading below.)

I agree with Midlife Magic's answer.

When someone wants to grow and do something in life on his/her own, they find a lot of opportunities. No one is ever happy with one thing in life and wants to experience or gain benefits of something that is popular.

For example, I am struggling to make and save enough money to ease my mortgage. So, I try to make youtube videos, write some technical blogs, and try to do some other little things but i am not focusing on anything particular.

I recently landed on hubpages too but due to lack of time, I haven't written anything and this is my first comment in hubpages :-)

So, I am going to make a list of things that I really need to focus on as a priority, which in return will be valuable now and in feature.

After I make a list, I'll focus only on 1 thing at a time which will save my mind from diverting from 1 to another.

tracyyee also has mention a very good point.

When we have a list of things we need to do, we do them as we thought as priority and invest a lot of time, money and mind. So, at the end of the day, we can re-evaluate all the things we did whole day and see the result. We can compare the result and see if we could have done it better or we could have squeezed more tasks in between. Can we organize more next day and pre-plan everything before sleeping.

So, filtering out things to do and sort by priority will help to manage time which will give you successful result on the thing you are doing and lot of happiness and satisfaction in life.

Don't forget: "Take it easy and stress less" formula. That will free up mind and make you more productive in life.

Crash or Burn Your Brand New Apple iPhone to Get Popularity and/or Make More Money

People queue hrs and even days to get hold of new technology, specially if it's related to Apple products. They recently launched new version of iPhone which is version 5.

As soon as Apple announced the release date of Apple iPhone 5, There was so much excitement all over the world to get first hand on it.

Now, as there are youtube, dailymotion, hubpages and personal blogs and news sites where people publish crazy things to be popular and make money at the same time.

One of the unique way to get popular and make money at the same time i found so far is, microwaving an iPhone 5 and burn it to flames.

Video: Microwaving iPhone 5

I think that was an awesome idea to burn an Apple iPhone 5.
Similarly I found another test which got millions of views but is not that new idea, is to drop phone from certain height with its competitor and see which is more strong. From the video it looks like he is giving extra pressure on Samsung Galaxy.

Those have been tests on iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy s3. Look at this commercial for Samsung Galaxy S3. That's really funny :-)

Some of the very competitive google search keywords

After I published my first hub, I started to see some earnings. Success of earlier days made me to think "can I double my current earnings"?

There is a saying "More articles means more visitors, More visitors means more potential earnings". So, I decided to add more articles on my hub but I wasn't sure where to start from.

After thinking for a while I decided to check what are the highly paid keywords in adsense.

I wasn't sure what keyword to start with in the google keyword research tools. As the tool has the option to check related keywords for a domain, I decided to check what would be highest paid keyword if I use example.com as the domain.

To my surprise, one of the keyword had as much as $230 CPC (cost per click). That's right, some company (xyz) is willing to pay $230 for just one click. How much do you think we will have to pay company 'xyz' if we ever have to use their services? It must be in 1000s of dollars.

Do you want to know what are the top keywords and their CPC ranges?

These are some of the most expensive keywords on google adwords.

1. Mesothelioma: $40 - $230
2. Asbestos: $6 - $145
3. Structured Settlement: $50 - $115
4. Sell Structured: $80-$90
5. Donation of Car: $65 - $75
6. "Accident Lawyer" related keywords: $40 - $70
7. Bankruptcy: $8 - $70
8. Life Insurance: $15 - $60
9. "Psychology" related keywords: $40 - $60
10. College / University: $40 - $50
11. "Cancer" related keywords: $40 - $55
12. Health Management: $35 - $55
13. Debt Management: $30 - $50
14. Vehicle Insurance: $30 - $50
15. "Injury" related keywords: $25 - $70

Keywords research, usage and spamming

Have you done keyword research and try to find the value of the keyword that you are using to write an article/post about? Do you do proper research and try to provide as much information as possible?

Make sure when you use some keywords, try not to over crowd every where on the article. If you use too many keywords then google will think you are spamming and even though your page will be indexed, it will never appear on first 3 pages of search result. First 3 pages are the maximum page depth any googler will look for according to SEO specialists.

Good luck with your keyword research and articles. How much money have you made in a day just from your articles? Do you think one can leave a full time job and have a decent living by writing articles from the comfort of their own home?

Note: Never ever click your own ads. You have right to post valuable articles but you can't click on your own ads which will result in termination of your google adsense.

What's the maximum expensive keyword you have found?

My first hub on hubpages in search of satisfaction

I am at clinic waiting for more than 30mins and playing with my iPhone. My wife is on my side with her phone and she is doing something which I don't know. I asked her what she is doing? She said she is writing a hub.

"Hub? What's hub?" I asked.

She said, "It's an awesome website where you can write articles". I asked, "why are you writing for them, do they pay you?".

She said, "yes we can put ads and if people click on them we make money".

Then I asked again "have you made anything so far?" Then she replied "yes $1.02, hahaha"

We both laughed and I asked "why are you wasting your time then?". Then she said "it's not everything about money but the satisfaction of being connected with people, its about satisfaction when people comment on my post, it's about satisfaction to see how many people read my articles."

Then I thought a while and said, "OK, I'll start a hub and see if I can get the same satisfaction like you do".

Here you go, I have a hub post. Let's see if it gives me some money plus satisfaction :-)

Current Top and Best Alternatives to Google Adsense

I have a video website zoosper.com, as it's hard to censor fighting,sexual,and other illegal videos. My website got banned from Google Adsense. I had no other option then to explore for other opportunities and find what are the best alternatives to google adsense which pay good high Cost Per Impression (CPM) and High Cost Per Click (CPC). After googling around for a while, I started to gather some of the best alternatives out there.

Yieldbuild:[link]

I used them while I was serving google adsense as when you display google ads through their ads, there was high CPM and CPC. Sometimes upto $11 per click. As adsense is banned, I don't use them anymore on zoosper.com

AdBrite:[link]

After adsense adbrite was my first choice as major advertiser on my website. But there was not much CPM earnings but still I use them on the top spot.

Infolinks:[link]

I haven't tried it myself yet, because i have adbrite for similar inline text ads. But has a good reputation, so, I am going to replace adbrite inline ads with Infolinks.

Chitika:[link]

They have a high CPC but recently all the ads show for internetcorkboard and answered-questions. So a bit sick of it.

Bidvertiser:[Publishers][Advertisers]

This is my latest addition and now I am focusing on it. After I move ads to top of video, it has been noticed by visitors and getting some clicks.

Text-link-ads:[link]

This is one of the best as you get flat rate for text link ads and its amazing and highly recommend.

Buysellads:[link]

They approve only high quality websites with lots of traffic only, but if you are approved, You will be amazed with the income you get through them.

Kontera:[link]

This is same as Infolinks and is good for websites with lots of text.

Adhitz.com:[link]

Tried for few days but didn't like it.

Adclickmedia:[link]

Seems good too, still haven't tried them but it's on my book of list to try out.

Viglink.com:[link]

This helps you to earn some extra money with this affiliate network.

Skimlinks:[link]

I haven't tried myself yet. But seems alright.

Clicksor:[link]

I tried this few years ago on different site but I was annoyed because they charge you for every clicks if you are advertiser, but they censor most of the clicks as invalid and keep the cut. I will never use them again. They increased my CPC without my approval to increase click rate on my ads when I was advertising myself with them.


If you know other top alternatives to google adsense that works great, let me know.
