If you have ever read or submitted an article to EzineArticles, you should be familiar with the layout of the site. When you look at an article, underneath will be sections for “most viewed” and “most published”.

The articles in these sections get a TON of views. More importantly, because of the titles “most viewed” and “most published” the average internet surfer puts a lot of weight into the fact that the information is not only credible, but factual.

In my experience, the conversions from readers of these articles is far better than what you can usually expect from someone just stumbling upon your information. Being in these categories is VERY profitable. Trust me, Don and I have tracked the referrer URLS (the originating articles) to determine this to be true.

The only problem is, how do you get there? Well, in the past you would be told “write good content” and you will be rewarded, right? Not so in this situation. Sure, good content is always a good thing, but it won't always, actually it will rarely get you put in the most viewed or most published categories.

In the past, the way you got there was by having your article rank very high on the first page of Google. Honestly though, how many articles do you have ranking very high for keywords that actually get searched for 1000's of times a month?

What I am going to show you is how to get on these lists without ranking for any keywords... so, pay close attention.

It stands to reason that anyone who is considering buying your blog when you flip it is going to be interested in the bottom line, exactly how much money they can earn from your site after they buy it.

However, it is also important to appreciate that most site and blog buyers are interested in regular recurring income, rather than single one-off payments. This in fact is the reason why you do not focus on Clickbank and eBay products when creating your blog because whilst selling products or promoting eBay definitely puts more money in your bank, it is not regular.

On the other hand, AdSense is highly predictable, which is extremely attractive for the buyer.

To have a blog that is likely to attract potential purchaser, you have to have a steady track record of earnings over a period of several weeks. Reasonably stable income earnings over a month or two is a minimum requirement for being able to flip your blog.

Fortunately however, I am not talking about a blog that earns $100 a day.

In fact, if you ensure that your blog has earned even just one dollar a day from Adsense on a consistent basis, you have a saleable asset. As long as the income is consistent, it is clear that your marketing materials are doing their job by sending targeted traffic to your site.

The day after you sell the blog, these promotional materials are not all of a sudden going to stop sending targeted traffic, meaning that the new blog owner will continue to enjoy the same level of income after they buy.

So, let's imagine that you have a record of one month of earning a least $2 a day from Adsense, plus you're making a few extra dollars from eBay every month (and can prove that you do so regularly) and pull in a little extra from Clickbank sales every so often as well.

Based on your Adsense earnings alone, you could realistically expect to flip your blog for somewhere around 10 times the monthly income of your site, but you might be able to push this a little further because of the additional income that you can prove.

Hence, a blog that is earning just two dollars a day is going to be worth around $600 or a little more, depending on how well you can sell the idea of the additional income from eBay and Clickbank.

From this it follows that if you hang onto your blog until it is earning a regular $5 a day, you have a $1500 asset on your hands and every time you can increase your AdSense earnings, the value of your blog increases.
