In a larger sense, this advice applies to most any content creation tool. You can use those tools in an honest and ethical way'which is what we recommend'to create very interesting and compelling content, or you can use them in an unethical way to lure users to a site that turns out to be not what they thought it was.
Even though the latter approach will draw more traffic, we don't recommend it. And not just because it's wrong, either. Think about it: if you went to a site and it wasn't what it had claimed to be, you'd suspect the site owner cheated the search engines. And then you wouldn't stick around long enough to click on any of the ads, would you?
Nope, neither would we. It's called 'backlash.'
And now, on to the wonderful tools that represent some of our top picks for compelling keyword-rich content creation.
Directory Generator |
To appreciate how DG works, you have to know a bit about directories'there are two types.
1. General Directory - A General Directory contains listings of just about anything on the planet. It is not targeted in any way, shape or form.
2. Specific Niche Directory - These directories are vertical in nature and they focus on just one industry or topic. Everything on this type of site is about one topic, so it's all very relevant.
Some of their features include:
• Photo Shots of Websites - Each resource Directory Generator creates contains a Photo Shot of the Website itself. This gives users a preview of the website before you look at it.
• RSS Equalizer Integration - This feeds real news content into your websites.
• Amazon.com Integration - Amazon sells thousands of products and services and you can now integrate these products into your new Directory Generator sites with a simple copy and paste mechanism. If you can copy and paste you can instantly start making extra revenue from Amazon.
• Google Adsense Integration ' Since it's what this book is about, it's great that Directory Generator has an easy way for you to integrate Google’s Adsense into your directory.
• Google Websearch Integration - Google recently released an add-on for Adsense that is called Websearch. It allows you to put a Google search box on your site and get paid for any Adsense click it creates. Now this feature is in Directory Generator.
• Built In Classified Ads - Making a directory is not enough. You need to be able to funnel the traffic to where you want. So the DG people created a way to for you to create Classified Ads in Directory Generator that let you promote and drive targeted traffic to any site you want, even if it is an affiliate program.
• Step Creation Wizard ' Makes it easy to create DG pages. 8 simple steps, it's done. Seriously, you can probably complete the whole process in just a few minutes. Can be done by an 8-year-old.
• Pre-Made Templates ' OK, so not everyone's a webmaster and you don't have to be one to make money with Google AdSense and DG with this feature. There are pre-made templates for you to use. Just select one, fill some stuff in, you're done.
DG also features PR Maximizer, which lets you search and find relevant and high quality sites for you to exchange links with. This software does all the work automatically for you, including telling you the site’s PR, PageRank before you even contact them to talk about trading links.
PR Maximizer's output |
• RSS feeds provide dynamically changing content so that every time the spiders come crawling to you page, it has new content. They really like that.
• RSS feeds give you instant theme-related content. Google, in particular, really loves this.
• RSS feeds provide content that is readable by search engines because the content is part of your page, unlike javascript feeds which offer no advantage because the little spiderbots can't read them.
• Your pages get indexed faster, since your content changes daily, so you get more visits from the Googlebot. That's a very good thing.

Better yet, RSS feeds are completely automated so you don't have to do anything to keep your pages fresh and updated.
