How to use Google Trends to drive tons of traffic to your site

I guess this post could be considered part 2 of How I went from making pennies a month to nearly $600 a month on Google Adsense.

I’ve recently discovered a great way to drive tons of traffic to my personal blog and I want to share with you exactly how I’ve achieved that.

I recently made the decision to stop doing sponsored posts on my blogs. Instead, I decided to just focus on building links and driving more traffic to increase my Adsense and affiliate income.

About 2 weeks ago I was getting an average of about 50-100 unique visitors a day over at Java-girl.org. Most of these visitors are regular readers who are good buddies and have stuck with me through all of my fickle blogging phases.

But what’s the #1 thing you need to make money on Adsense? Good old fashioned search engine traffic. This kind of traffic consists mostly of people who are on a mission and are frantically searching for something. When they arrive to your site they may not find exactly what they are looking for but they will keep on clicking in hopes of finding it. With proper ad placement your click through rate should start really increase from all this extra traffic!

One way to drive loads of traffic to your site is by posting about the hottest search topics on listed Google Trends. The hot topics are updated on an hourly basis. If you are having a bit of writer’s block and need some ideas you can get plenty here. Just visit this page and take a look at the hot topics. If you see something that sounds interesting and you think you can work it into a blog post then give it a shot! What have you got to lose right?

I decided to start doing this recently and my traffic has exploded. Take a look.
