This is something that isn't talked about in other 
places, but how and when you put AdSense on your sites can determine how much 
your sites ultimately make.
</p>
<p>
There are a few decisions to make-we will discuss them 1 by 1.
</p>
<p>
First, you need to decide if you put AdSense on your sites when you build 
them. Now, if you do you can be confident that you will start making money as 
soon as the sites get indexed and ranked.
</p>
<p>
However, based on my tests there seems to be a lot of evidence that many of 
the search engines are doing a 'hand review' of your sites. Not, as others have 
posited, to just determine if your site gets indexed initially. Instead, these 
hand reviews occur after indexing and seem to determine if your site stays in 
the index.
</p>
<p>
Last February/March I built 10,000 websites. 5,000 of which I put AdSense on 
initially. The other 5k I didn't put AdSense on until they were indexed and well 
ranked. The end result is that the later 5k earned 8 times what the previous 5k 
earned.
</p>
<p>
The reason?
</p>
<p>
Around that time MSN started doing extensive hand reviews and when they saw a 
site with AdSense on it they diminished its rankings. They didn't eliminate it 
from their index, but they did lower the site's importance.
</p>
<p>
So, the next argument is that it was done because of my site's quality. 
However to get a conclusive test I then had a &quot;pure white-hat&quot; site created 
which I promoted with the same methods and I got the same result. 
</p>
<p>
So your decision depends on if you will be able to sacrifice the initial 
results for long-term gain.
</p>
<p>
Now, there is 1 more issue to discuss.
</p>
<p>
There is also lots of evidence from my tests that suggest that Google, Yahoo 
and MSN diminish a site's rankings if a spider or robot detects Adsense on it. 
Now, if you were creating 1 site and this was your bread and butter than maybe 
it would be wise to not put AdSense on it if you had another alternative. 
</p>
<p>
However, if you are building sites that will primarily make money via AdSense 
this 'diminished ranking' should be noted but not worried about.
</p>
<p>
You can choose to act on it, although by doing so you &quot;may&quot; violate google's 
Terms of Service.
</p>
<p>
Right now just think about if you care either way, because these sites have 
generated a tremendous ROI for me. To put it bluntly I don't think there is any 
other activity that can generate as much money as quickly.

....we will continue in Part 2.
