Over the years I have built numerous websites, studied the art of SEO and recently have been testing theories on SEO and web marketing, in particular using Google Adsense.
It goes without saying that Adsense is a powerful force in the online advertising market, and that ads directly related to content only makes sense since it is more likely your target market on the site. Over the past 6 months I have been creating more and more content on different styles of sites, and can say the fastest way I have found to get a site crawled is using Google Webmaster Tools - specifically the sitemaps.
If the first step is ensuring your site/content is included in Google, the next step would be seeing how your content is viewed, where it appears on Google and using what search terms. Well this is super easy since the webmaster tools reports your position based on selected terms. How easy is that.
Case in point, this blog was started on October 29th, I haven't written a lot of posts but it appears in the top ten results for:
primus softphone and dreamhost kill ftp - admittedly not real money makers but I wouldn't have known this without the webmaster tools.
Some of the other great features are:
1. shows errors when crawling - for example 404 pages
2. shows you inbound links Google knows about.
3. reporting of content issues such as duplicate content or title tags
4. tools to help move a website
5. tools to test your site performance.
All in all a great little package you get for free from Google.
