Post Articles And Exchange Links For SEO
November 5th, 2009
Everyone who is anyone in the SEO world will tell you that getting anchored links back to the pages of your web properties is the number one most important thing you can do to give a boost to your search engine results. And if you want to make money blogging then you are going to have to get high up on those search engines to generate plenty of targeted traffic.
The problem is trying to figure out how to convince web masters in your chosen niche to pass on some of their precious Google juice with a back link to you sites. Many Internet Marketers get round this problem by creating a huge Internet presence by building hundreds for websites and blogs for themselves which they can use to pass the juice whenever they need it.
This concept is known as blog farming and the idea is that your build many, many sites that you get indexed in Google and feed with many junky backlinks in order to inject them with some of the magical Google juice so that whenever you need link to your main money properties you can simply harvest them from your farm.
Blog farming is something I’ve never touched because Google sees it as gaming the system and if they catch you they will do everything in their power to take down your farm and all your hard work will vanish instantly, not a pretty thought. This is not to say that building a blog farm isn’t worth the effort if you know what you are doing and can hide your tracks. I just don’t have the skills or patience to make something this intricate with the knowledge that it could all end in tears. If you want to play in the time though and are willing to take the risk its something you might want to look into.
I like to stick to more white ( or maybe that should be gray ) hat methods of pushing my sites up the SERPs such as link exchanging. This is one of the best ways in which you get better results in Google and you should start communicating with others who operate in similar niches to see if you can work out a way to build some link exchanges. Remember, 3 way link exchanges are better and make sure you use varied, relevant anchor text.
Another method of getting backlinks which can work wonders especially in the beginning when creating a new site is to post articles on an article directory or three. Directories such as Ezinearticles, Hubpages, Squidoo and Infobarrel are desperate for content to fill up their sites. Provide them with these interesting articles and they will give you a couple of links which you can use for your own purposes and because these sites have authority in the eyes of Google some of their precious juice will be passed along to you.
The difference between those that get the search engine results they need to make the money they want and those that fall by the wayside is in the quantity and quality of the backlinks they manage to build. Get creative and spend more time on building the links than any other part of your make money online business and eventually you will start to reap the rewards.

Make Easy Money Online – A Long Overdue Update
November 2nd, 2009
Well as usual this make money online blog has been left by the wayside as I spend all my time on my niche sites and try to build search engine traffic to make easy money online. Of course making money online isn’t easy but once you get the wheels turning and build up the momentum you can start to get a snowball effect and I’m starting to get the benefits of this myself. But in the beginning you have to put in incredible amounts of work, something that the majority of people aren’t willing to do even if they know what they are doing.
On top of that there are the people capable of putting in the work who get discouraged before they see the fruits of their labor. Its something I see at the Keyword Academy occasionally, some of the members are more than capable of doing the work and understand the concepts being taught but they start to get disheartened when the money doesn’t start to come in quick enough. Thankfully there is enough support in the Keyword Academy that when their is a hint of this happening the troops rally and give pep talks to get people back on track.
What does this mean you? If you are struggling to make money Online then its down to either:
If you think that none of the points above points apply to you and you are trying unsuccessfully to make money with adsense or through affiliate marketing then you need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Truth is that you have probably been sold far too many e-books by the Internet Marketing gurus or you have bought into programs such as Google Terminator and found that they don’t do what they say on the tin. You aren’t going to learn anything from the gurus $47 books because they don’t what they are doing either. They make money buy selling books about who to make money online.
Finding an Internet Marketer that deals with people in an ethical, honest manner is almost impossible and that’s why members of the Keyword Academy are so grateful to have found Court and Mark before they waste any more time.
Yes I sell the Keyword Academy hard, but I truly believe its by far the best way for anyone to learn to earn money online. In fact I’m so confident you will think its the best Internet Marketing decision you ever make that if you sign up through my banner above and don’t think its worth the money I’ll refund double your first months payment (yes, that will only be $2 but I’m a cheap bastard!).
After that rant I’ll give you an update for my Online earnings which I have been keeping to myself over the last few months due to being too busy to update this blog.
So here is a rough estimate of my affiliate and Adsense earnings for the last 3 months:
The thing is that by the time the 1st of July rolled round and I had just made $400 for June in Adsense I would never have believed it possible to be making over $4000 in October. So how did it happen? Well if you read the beginning of the post you will know it had something to do with:
Apart from the luck factor there have been another couple of things that I can say have contributed to my recent success.
Well, like I have said I have worked damn hard the last few months, my social life is now almost non-existent and my laptop is my best friend but it feels like it has been worthwhile. I still feel like I have a load more to learn but I am getting there and every site I build feels easier than the last.
Another important factor has been moving away from Adsense to affiliate programs with high converting websites and high percentage payout. Obviously you can’t do this with all your sites but if you have some with traffic and there are suitable affiliate products out there I recommend playing around with this and seeing what you can achieve.
Right this post has been long enough and was only supposed to be a keyword rich earnings update, must get back to work.

Earning Money Online By Climbing The SERPS
August 9th, 2009
I have totally neglected this blog over the last couple of weeks due to the fact that I have been working very hard on sites with my new partner. We’ve to get 9 niche sites up in the last couple of weeks which is pretty cool, I think if we can to keep this pace up we should be making good money in 6 months time. Obviously I’ve also got my own sites that I’ve been working since I joined the Keyword Academy 4 months ago ticking alone in the background. I’ll be doing the occasional spot of link building to my own sites but the vast majority of my efforts will be going into the new sites.
I have to say, having someone do the content for the niche sites really allows me to focus and concentrate on the things that need to be done. My problem since I started trying to earn money with Google is getting sidetracked all too easily because their is just so much you need to do in the Make Money Online game if you want to succeed.
Joining the Keyword Academy and following the structure they set out has really helped along with learning to use Excel spreadsheets to organize my work. But having someone else to share the burden of work has been excellent, I suppose I’m starting to understand why serious Internet Marketers get so excited about outsourcing their work to other people and its something that I can see myself going a tonne in the future to make things easier.
Anyway I thought I would take ten minutes tonight to have a look and see how this site was doing in the Google search engine results pages. I’ve also been having a look at my statcounter traffic stats to see where my visitors have been coming from and trying to figure out a way to boost my traffic up a notch.
From looking at the keyword analysis on statcounter and can see that I’m starting to rank for a reasonable number of longtail keywords related to earning money online and how to earn money with Adsense. We’re sitting at 8th to 15th in the SERPS for the following keywords:
Now, I run this site more as a small personal project for fun rather than as a cash machine. Perhaps in the future if I can really start to rank well for some big money keywords I might try to monetize the blog in some way but for now its my little experiment. For the moment I’d really just like to start climbing the SERPS for the personal satisfaction, if I could get into the top 5 positions for a few of the keywords then I’d feel like I have accomplished something pretty cool for a newbie to the world of earning money online.
That’s all for this time, hopefully the next time I post I will have built up a few quality backlinks and will be moving in the right direction in the search engines.

Google Traffic To Adsense Make Money Online
At the moment we’re getting about 35 unique visitors a day to this site which isn’t too bad considering I haven’t been promoting it very vigorously at all. I put the reason it has been moving up the Google search engine results pages down to the fact that it is starting to age more than because I have letting loose on it with my special ninja SEO skills.From looking at the keyword analysis on statcounter and can see that I’m starting to rank for a reasonable number of longtail keywords related to earning money online and how to earn money with Adsense. We’re sitting at 8th to 15th in the SERPS for the following keywords:
- earn money with google
- adsense make money
- how to make money with adsense
- earn money from google
- earn money with adsense
- earning money online
- adsense money
Now, I run this site more as a small personal project for fun rather than as a cash machine. Perhaps in the future if I can really start to rank well for some big money keywords I might try to monetize the blog in some way but for now its my little experiment.

Plan Of Action For This Site
I suppose if I want to make progress I am going to have to make a plan of action. Like I said I’m busy with other money making projects at the moment so I’m have to limit myself to about an hour a week on this blog which means I won’t be able to post much due to time constraints. I’m going to use all the time I have available to start getting quality backlinks from all available sources with anchor text that matches the keywords I am targeting.A Word On Anchor Text
You should know that the anchor text used in the backlinks that link to your site is extremely important in how well you rank in Google and what keywords you rank for. Google uses the anchor text to try and figure out what your site is about so make sure you manipulate this fact to your advantage by getting people who link to your site to use relevant anchor text.What Will I Do To Get Backlinks
I haven’t done much to publicize this blog since I set it up so there are plenty of things I can do to get extra backlinks. I’ll write a few articles for the likes of ezinearticles.com and maybe do a couple of hub pages. More importantly I’m going to try and find some friends in the earn money online niche who are interested in a link exchange. This is a quick and easy way of getting backlinks that won’t take up too much of my precious time.Adsense Make Money Online Needs Your Help
Like I said time is short and I need links to get this baby up to the top of Google so if you have a website that deals with any topics that are a vague match for this blog it would be great if you could throw a link with some nice relevant anchor text my way. If you email me and tell me about the link I’ll repay you with a link from elsewhere, I would greatly appreciate any help!That’s all for this time, hopefully the next time I post I will have built up a few quality backlinks and will be moving in the right direction in the search engines.
