Welcome To Make Money Online


If you can solve the traffic problem or lack of it that is, then you can make money online. It really does all boil down to that. Get traffic - make money. Get more traffic and make more money.
Simple.

Except…

Getting traffic is the hardest thing to do online. There are millions and millions of websites and blogs dotting the Internet landscape and getting people to come to your site, out of all the possibilities, is the hardest task to achieve.

Lucky for you I just happen to be pretty good at getting traffic. I also like to discuss how I do it. Moreover I give the info away for free. Right now you just said to yourself… “Oh great - free! It must be crappy advice if he isn’t charging for it”.

I’m the first to admit that nobody knows everything and I’m not an expert but I have developed some techniques that work well for ranking high in the search engines for every keyword I target. I will show you some examples below.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to publicizing a website or blog. The popular model is such that you set up a site and then join every social network you can and get yourself seen. Build up friends, who become readers and work at getting your RSS Feed subscriber total into the thousands. This will attract advertisers trying to sell something to your large readership. On paper this sounds good (and yes it works) but it is a lot of work, you don’t make any money for a long time and your readership won’t buy product. They are bloggers just like you and they come for information. They know what an affiliate link is and they sure as hell aren’t going to use your link to buy something - most will use their own. Yes, you can make a decent living following this model but the odds are against it. Only the very top bloggers make good money doing this and they number a few dozen out of millions. The chance of rising above the crowd and becoming one of the few is quite unrealistic for most.

The other school of thought for getting traffic is ranking high in the search engines - specifically Google.

If your website ranks number 1 on Google’s search engine result page (SERP’s) for the word (know as a “KEYWORD”) “Shoes” then you can expect hundreds of thousands of visitors. If you can’t find a way to make money from a site with that many visitors then you shouldn’t be online. Needless to say the site that does rank #1 sells shoes. I bet they sell a lot of them…

This model simply targets highly searched “keywords” and sets about building a website or blog that is relevant to the keyword. This is called search engine optimization (SEO) and it’s what I do. The idea is to rank on top of the search engines for keywords that get searched for by lots of people. Do this and you gain steady traffic that doesn’t change much from day to day and it’s the kind of traffic that is looking for something specific. They buy stuff. They aren’t other marketers and bloggers - just ordinary people looking for something online. Get a lot of this kind of traffic and you can make money with Adsense, Affiliate Products or Lead Generation to name just a few. You can also make a decent buck from advertisers who are after your traffic.

One of the most competitive terms online is “Make Money Online“. It is the holy grail of keywords - not the toughest but one of the most coveted keywords. Ranking number 1 for this term says one thing - your SEO is better than everyone else.

I have another blog that has been around for a year and a half. It is called “How to Make Money Online for Beginners“. If the title isn’t bad enough you’ll love this - it’s built on Blogger’s free platform. It’s a plain ugly free blogspot blog. Cost me nothing.

As of today’s post this is how my other blog ranks in Google for several of the main “Make Money Online” Keywords. I said I could prove I know a bit about SEO and I present the evidence below. These rankings change regularly and may not be accurate at the time you read this.
