Search Engine Optimization Tips; SEO Tips

2013-01-06T22:30:00.001-08:00

There has been many updates by Google that affects ranking, so how do you work on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) after Google Panda updates.

If your site SEO was affected, you were most likely engaged in negative practices. Incoming Links do not calculate the same as they used to calculate, but do not think they are any less popular or affective in SEO.

Incoming Links and Links inside your site are still popular, but do not concentrate so much on how to manipulate Search Engines. Write unique content and provide informative posts and link to information that is important to readers. It is all about content that is beneficial to readers and it has to be Unique.

So many websites try to get hundreds of inbound links to their site in the hope it will put them on the first page of Google. You have to build links over time from sites that find your information informative. Random links mean nothing. It has to be links from sites that are providing additional information to their readers.

So, for site SEO, write unique content and provide linked content for your readers. You will build links over time and this is the best way to provide SEO for your site. Unique content over a period of time! Do not try writing for search engines if you care about SEO. Write for readers and search engines will follow, trust me!

Blogger Traffic Stats Hacked

2012-12-27T12:59:00.001-08:00

Has anyone else noticed the Blogger Traffic Stats being hacked to show referrals from several different countries like Russia and the Ukraine? It may be Apartment Ratings or something weird that is in no way related to your content. It seems as though the hack links to blogger stats as a referral like someone visited your blog from this site. DO NOT CLICK ON THESE LINKS!!!

These scams or Traffic Hacks are meant to create a click from your traffic stats to see where the traffic is coming from. If you click on these links, they win. Not only are they manifested to draw clicks, but some will have malicious code connected so that your computer may crash.

This is a problem that Google will have to address in the Blogger platform. You can write a robots.no follow and list the links that are in question, but they will probably keep popping up. I am sure Google is aware of the issue and is resolving now, but until then, Do Not click these links.

2012-10-15T15:08:00.003-07:00

LinkWorth is a site that pulls all the great methods of Making Money together into one easy to use dashboard. It is a little more complex than some because there are so many options to making money from their site.

I found the site many years ago from a recommendation from another blogger and have been able to make a few extra bucks just offering link post and selling advertising on my Blog. This is the easiest way to make money from a blog, sell ad space. You just have to keep readership up where the advertiser has a good position to be seen. The best way to keep readership up is to keep writing and keep sharing your ideas.

Best Affiliate Marketing Network; Commission Junction

2012-08-10T19:49:00.001-07:00

Commission Jumction, in my opinion, is one of the best places to check out for all your Affiliate Marketing links. CJ.com has a wide range of advertisers in one spot and is very easy to use.

I will also tell you, DO NOT use Commission Junction or any other affiliate networks with Blogger Blogs. I found this out the hard way. I had a 6 year old Blog that was up to 4 figures in Affiliate income when Blogger shut it down for using Affiliate Links and there was nothing I could do to reverse their actions.

If you are operating a website or have a Wordpress blog with your own hosting, check out cj.com. You have to apply to the advertisers program and be approved so you need to build up some traffic before applying. Once approved by an advertiser, you can select different ad units that they offer. The usually have banner ads and text link ads. I always did better with the text link ads because in your articles, you can place a text ad that fits well and adds value for the reader.

There are many Affiliate Networks to choose from, but commission junction has good tracking and you can see how many clicked on the ad as well as how many times your ad was seen by readers. You can adjust your use of ads by how they perform. Oh, the most important part, payment was always right on time. Payment is similar to Adsense payments where once the threshold is achieved, your payment is processed.

Sell Ad Space On Blog; Make Money Online

2012-07-23T11:05:00.000-07:00

Selling Ad Space on your Blog is probably one of the best ways to make money online. The first thing you must have is traffic, and this is a must to make money from any program.

LinkWorth is a great place to sell Ad space on your Blog or Website. You can put the amount you want to charge for your Ad and LinkWorth will take a portion of your ad revenue. On a Car Blog, I was selling Ad space to well known Insurance companies and making very good money from those Ads. You can also sell Ad space yourself once you are gaining quality traffic. This way you get to keep 100% of the revenue.

Selling Ad Space on your Blog can be very profitable, but make sure the Ad is a good fit for your reader. Dont sell out to just any advertiser that is looking for quick links. I have turned down many advertisers because it was in a niche that was nowhere close to what my Blog was about. Determine what a fair price is for a link and when someone asks, tell them what the price is and for what length of time the ad will run. I always liked to set a monthly price and then give a 6 month term that would save the advertiser some money if they payed up front and thats what many did.

The first and foremost order of business is to get quality traffic to your Blog. Once you are getting traffic, everything else will fall into place.

Learn how to get your Blog on the First Page of Google to gain valuable free traffic.

Long Tail Keywords; The Long Tail Keyword Tool

2012-07-16T15:44:00.002-07:00

Long Tail Keywords are basically keywords in your Niche that may not have much competition or are phrases of keywords instead of a single word.

Long Tail Keywords are much easier to rank higher than high competition words. An example of a Long Tail keyword compared to a high competition keyword is as follows: a high competition word would be "Make Money Online" where a long tail Keyword could be "Make Money Online Using Long Tail Keywords". This is a longer phrase, but could still pick up some Google Search Traffic.

There are several tools to use that will automatically help you use Long Tail Keywords for your Niche, but I have a better idea that will give you great results. Take your topic and write down the most important word then write down all words that people may search for that is related to this word and don't forget keyword phrases and even the longer phrases like, "make money online using Long Tail Keywords. This is an exercise that will help you come up with hundreds or more topics to write about. Don't forget with each of your words to drill down to all questions a reader may have about your topic.

Also, another good topic to write about is readers questions. Instead of answering a question directly, write a post with the answer to the question because if one person has a question, then other readers will probably have the same question.

Keywords and Keyword Tools have their place, but dont get so hung up on getting the right Keywords that you dont write valuable information. I have said it before, but ALWAYS write with your reader in mind and not the search engine and you will do fine. Ultimately, you want your reader coming back and that is the most important thing.

KEYWORD; How To Optimize Keywords

2012-07-11T12:29:00.001-07:00

Keywords are one of those things that you have to know about, but don't be a Keyword Spammer. Keywords can be used in sentences without even knowing that you are using them and this is the best way to Optimize your site.

Keywords are the words used when people search the Internet and Keyword phrases are of course the phrases Internet users type to find what they are looking for. For instance; "How To Optimize Keywords" is the phrase Put for the title and this is the phrase that I will write the article.

The one thing I try to do is to write an introduction that tells a little about your article and try to use the word or phrase of words I want to optimize in this introduction. I try not to overdo the words that I am optimizing for because search engines will more than likely ignore your article for keyword spam.

Keyword density on a page is a way that Google uses your page to return relevant results when someone searches the Internet. You can even find Keyword Tools online to find the most popular keywords for your niche Blog or site you are writing. I do not try and compete in this arena as most keywords that are popular have numerous sites doing the same thing and competition is fierce for the most searched for terms.

Long tail Keywords or words that may not have much search traffic are better keywords to optimize for because of the lower competition. If you can find some Long tail Keyword Phrases that are 3 to 6 words in length, these are the best to go after. You can find many Keyword tools online that will give you the best search terms and terms related to your search.

My best of advice when dealing with keywords is to write naturally and search engines will naturally find you. Do not try and scew the Keyword Density of an article for traffic, just write like you are writing to someone you know.

Google Adsense Money Secret Revealed

2012-07-06T11:16:00.000-07:00

Google AdSense secret revealed to Make More Money Online! OK, maybe its not a secret, maybe its just my mind constantly running to figure the inner workings of Google AdSense, but this actually makes sense. OK, makes sense to me...

Google AdSense has been the heaviest hitter when it comes to making Money Online, especially for those just starting out. Everyone is trying to figure out how to get higher CTR and Make more Money with each click.

Fact #1. Google is the inventor of the Pay Per Click phenomenon.
Fact #2. Google AdSense is set up to make more money for Google
Fact #3. Google wants its publishers to make money
Fact #4. Google wants advertisers (AdWords) to see results

Taking these facts into consideration, and results from my own dealings with AdSense and AdWords, I have come to some conclusions:

First, EVERY Web page and Blog are different in results. Every single page on the Internet has different user habits based on content and layout. This is not a secret. But, think about how complex Google's Algorithms are and how they place ads on pages. My hottest spot may be in the sidebar second link down on AdSense. Where will AdSense place the highest bid keyword on your page, that precise location. But, what if the next person clicks on the first link in the ad unit in the sidebar? Guess what? That click did not pay me very much, but Google Algorithms change and calculate this new click to place the highest paying keyword in the top paying position.

I hope all this AdSense Conspiracy Theory makes sense because I am going somewhere with it. Many web publishers think that the more ads displayed, the better the chance of a click. That may be true, but you are going to make much less per click. What would happen if you decreased the number of ad units? You guessed it, Google's Algorithms would calculate more precisely with less variables and placement of higher paying ads would appear and you could make more money with fewer ads.

I have tested this theory for Google AdSense over the years and there is some validity to the theory. Remember, your AdSense page will be different than mine, but if you can test and retest to find the sweet spot for AdSense along with the best performing ad unit, you can Make good Money with AdSense.

How To Start And Build Your BLOG

2012-07-05T10:33:00.000-07:00

Starting and Building a Blog takes a lot of time and patience, but can be very rewarding. If you are ready to Start your Blog, I will give you step by step instructions on starting, building, and maintaining your Blog.

The first step in Starting a Blog is to make sure you are ready for the commitment, because it takes time to build and maintain. You need to be committed to spending at least an hour a day to Building Your Blog. If you are not ready to commit at least an hour a day, I would suggest that you do not even start. The reason I say a minimum of an hour a day is because you will have to write posts on a regular basis and it takes time to write quality posts. You have to work on the Layout of your Blog and this takes time. You have to promote your Blog if you want it to be successful, and this takes a LOT of time. If you just want to Blog for fun, you can get by with minimal time efforts, but I am going to show you how to make Money with your Blog.

If you are still reading, I know you are committed to Starting Your Blog. The next step, after you have committed to starting your blog is to decide on your topic and name. This is a process that takes much time and consideration. First off, what are your interests or are you very knowledgeable about a specific subject? This is going to be a subject that you are going to spend time with, so pick wisely. Do you love dogs and want to Blog about different breeds of dogs? Are you a beautician and want to Blog about hairstyles, cuts, and colors? The subject matter of your Blog is very important because it all starts here. Niche Blogging is the most profitable, so the more specific and narrow your subject, the better. A Blog about cars may be harder to work with than a Blog about Corvettes or a specific type of car. This will help you later on when I show you how to reach advertisers because Niche subjects are desirable and will also help you rank better on specific keywords which we will go over later as well.

Now we are ready to start building your Blog. You should now have a subject, it is time to come up with your Blog Address that will point to your pages. If you are new to Blogging, I suggest Blogger.com because in my opinion is the easiest to work with. You will go to Blogger.com and create your account. When it asks for Blog name, come up with a name similar to what your subject matter is about. For instance, if your subject is Dog Training, make it the Dog Training Blog. You can get fancy if you prefer, but it is better to keep it simple. For the blogger address, you can type some words in to see if the blogger address is available. Try to have your address terms similar to your theme if available. dogtraining....or some derivative of the term. It will be hard to find some terms as there are so many already taken, but your address should be on target with your subject and it will be .blogspot.com This is a free service so you will not have a .com name unless you were to purchase one to use with your Blog. You can purchase a name and use your own hosting, but for simplicity sake for starting your blog, stick with Google's Blogger Ext. of .blogspot.com

When First Starting Your Blog, after you have picked a Blog Title, Blog Address, you need to pick a Blogger Template to use with your Blog. This is not a super important step as you can change the Template after you have started. My advice is to click on one of the first templates you see to continue because we have to see what our needs are before we can truely pick a template that is going to work for us. After you pick a Template, you will be taken to the Blogger Dashboard. At this point, I will tell you to click on the little pencil at the top that says new post. It is best to go ahead and write a couple of posts before you try changing anything. When writing your post, put a title for the post that is informative and could be terms that someone would search for in Google to get to your page. Like the title to this page, How To Start And Build Your Blog. Now, start writing about your subject and stay on focus, make it as narrow as possible. Once you have written your post, click on "publish" at the top. You have now Started Your Blog! Here is the key, come back everyday and write another post and publish. Do not try and change anything with your blog at this point, just get some posts up and going. Write for at least 30 days before you even worry about making changes to your Blog.

This is going to be a continued series on Starting Your Blog and Building it over time. If you just started your Blog, write for 30 days before we go to the next step of the Blogging process. Bookmark this page and come back as I will take you to the next step later as I am writing. If you have at least 30 posts and want me to take a look at them, leave me a comment and I will give you my opinion on your Blog or give you advice.

Google Adsense Inside Blogger Post

2012-07-01T22:40:00.000-07:00

Google Adsense is a proven Ad Network that allows Blogger Blogs to Monetize their pages. This is going to be an in depth tutorial on how to place Google Adsense inside of your Blogger individual posts and how to stay within Google Adsense TOS or Terms Of Service.

Google Adsense is one of the easiest and first models to Make Money Online in the building stages of your Blog. Later on we will discuss more advanced ways to monetize your Blog, but for now let's concentrate on Adsense. I am going to assume that everyone is familiar enough with Blogger to be able to add Adsense to sidebars, after posts, above titles and everywhere Blogger has allowed you to manually add them. We are going to focus specifically on puting Adsense inside of Blogger Post and below the post title.

Before we begin, Please Backup Your Blog!

The first step in adding Google Adsense inside your Blog post is to go to your Adsense account and configure the ad that you want to place inside your Blogger Post. The best unit is the 250 by 250 square or the small rectangle ad. Make sure you get the background color of your Blog and use this color for your background color, this will help it blend in much better. Copy your Code and then proceed to the next step which is a VERY important one.

The next step in adding adsense inside your Blogger post is to Parse the code. This is a VERY important step as Blogger will not recognize the raw Adsense Code until it is parsed. You can search online for 'Parse Adsense Code' and you should be able to find this relatively easily and you can find it as a free service. Copy your Adsense code into the box and click Parse--this will be the code you want to copy to add to Blogger.

After you have your Parsed Code, go to Blogger and click 'Template', make sure if you have multiple Blogs that you are under the one you want to change. Now click on 'edit HTML' and you will get a message making sure you want to proceed. Proceed and check the box at the top that says 'expand widget template'. Now you want to locate the following code in your Blog. You can hit Cntl F to search for the code below. Type the code below in the search box that pops up. Now, the code below should be highlighted inside your HTML. There is tons of code here so make sure you don't accidentally change anything as it could cause your Blog not to display properly. This is why we backed up our Blog before we began.

The next step is to copy your Parsed Adsense Code directly above this line of Code. DO NOT change anything, just add your code above this body code above.

Now, we are still not through. We need to tell the code to float left or right so your text will wrap around it. Below you will see the float tag with the closing div tag after your adsense code. If you prefer for your adsense to float to the right of the text, change left to right.

Now after you have entered this code, we have to make sure we are biding by Google TOS by adding the following. You may want to call it 'advertisement' or 'sponsor links' or something to let the reader know this is an advertisement and not a link within your Blog. The only reason I like to use this is because it is directly below your title and can confuse a reader if you did not put this message. This is to protect your Adsense partnership which you want to keep in good standing. So, add the words you want the reader to see like the figure above where I used Sponsored Links. Make sure to put the p in brackets after and close at the bottom with the closing tag.

So, basically we copied our Adsense Code from Adsense after we Parsed it and then we added the code that is in red above.

Now, remember this as well. You don't want to put any images in the top part of your post as that could cause confusion as well. If you want to add any pictures, add them in the middle of your post as opposed to the top. The only drawback of showing ads in the top of your Blogger Post is when you are viewing the homepage or an archive page or anywhere there are more than 3 posts showing. Google Adsense will only show 3 ad units on a page and will leave blank space if there are more than 3 posts showing. Most readers will arrive through search engines and will be viewing a single page, in this case, Adsense will show up fine. Showing Google Adsense inside of Blog Posts is the most profitable spot on your page and Google should match the ad showing more relevant to what your post is written about.

GOOGLE FIRST PAGE RANKING FREE TRAFFIC

2012-06-28T15:49:00.001-07:00

Search Engine Traffic for a Blog may be easier than what you think. I will show you how to get first page Ranking with an in depth look at how to Rank higher in Search Results. I am optimistic that this post will be within the first page of your search if you searched with Google with words like "first page ranking for Blog" or some dirivitive of that phrase. I am going to tell you the do's and dont's of achieving Google First Page Ranking, the importance of 1st page ranking, and the Free Traffic you receive from this spot.

The importance of being on the first page for a Google search is obvious, you gain more exposure for your Blog. Think of your own searches, do you ever search the 2nd page of Search Results? In my own experience, I may search the second page of results 10% of the time when I cannot find the answer on the first page, but I usually refine my search to find the answer for which I am searching.

So it's a No brainier that we all want to be on the first page of searches and enjoy the influx of Free Traffic from Google, but DO NOT write for a Search Engine. What I mean by that is, don't try overusing words just to think you will be ranked higher in results. I am NOT writing this article with an attempt to fool a search engine, but want to provide a power packed informative post that provides the reader benefits on how to achieve these results. When you write with the reader in mind, you will always Rank better than if you are writing for a search engine.

So the first don't; don't write for search engines!

Blogs sometimes have an unfair advantage over websites in ranking higher in search results. Blogs are constantly changing and updating information on a daily or weekly basis where most websites are put up and left alone for the most part. Websites may change information on a monthly basis in contrast to Blogs updating regularly. If you keep the information current and fresh, you will always Rank higher with Google and other Search Engines.

The second key to Ranking Higher with your Blog is; update often or post often.

If you read any of the popular Blogs online, you will notice that they are consistent in their posting. If you cannot post daily, post at least once a week or twice a week on a consistent basis.

If you want to Rank on the First Page with your Blog, you must use keywords in your title and your post must stay on topic. Use the keywords that you want to target in a natural flowing way. I like to just write and not pay attention to keywords because your natural writing will bring out the best keywords for your topic and these are the best ones for naturally ranking higher in Google and all Search Engines.

The third tip is to use keywords, but let them come naturally.

I assume that everyone knows that you can buy first page ranking using Google Adwords so I won't dwell on this issue, but basically, the highlighted pages at the top and right side of the search results are paid listings. It depends on the Keyword and competition as to how much this position will cost you.

The 4th tip to see page one Google Ranking is to buy your way there.

Make sure your Anchor Text is relevant to your keywords and the terms in which you are seeking first page Google ranking. Anchor text is the clickable portion of a link and gains stronger attention for a page in search results. If you have any pictures on the page, make sure your Alt tag is on page topic to reinforce search guidance.

That gives us our fifth tip; make sure your tags are properly tagged to insure higher rankings in search results.

On your Blog, especially Blogger, make sure you have a good descriptive title for your article. If you have a website, make sure you have good Meta Tags, especially your title tags. In Blogger, if you have not already done so, change the code in your template to display your post title before your Blog Title. If you are using a newer Blogger template, this tweak or trick has already been performed for you. In Blogger, make sure you put a label with the post similar to the words you are targeting in Google Search.

The sixth tip is to properly tag, label, and link your article for top ranking.

After you have written your post, encourage others to link to your post so as to gain more exposure and also gain better ranking from these incoming links. Promote your post or page on forums and Blog Carnivals. Get the word out and it will spread quicker and gain more linking and will help move the post toward the first page Google search.

The seventh tip is to promote your post, not just your Blog, but your individual post.

If you are looking for First Page Ranking, Do not overuse Affiliate Links on this page. Instead, if you are an Affiliate Marketer, Link to another page on your site to use Affiliates. Keep your High Ranked and Optimized page clean and informative. Affiliate pages do not rank as well as good informative pages, plus, there is nothing more aggrevating than being bombarded by Affiliate Links when you are trying to learn.

The Eighth tip for First Page Google Ranking; NO Affiliate Links or Pop-Ups!

These are 8 tips of how to get your Blog or Website Page on First Page Google Ranking, but it really all depends on who Links to your Page. PageRank has a huge impact on where your page lands and Google actually has the word PageRank Trademarked so they were the early implementers along with Stanford University and Larry Page who actually invented the idea. Google paid Stanford University in stocks to use and Trademark the term PageRank.

Do Comments Help Your Ranking?

2012-06-27T06:23:00.001-07:00

Comments, I am mainly looking at comments that you leave on other Blogs. So, does commenting on other Blogs help your rankings? Commenting on other Blogs should be one of those things that you do on a daily basis. When commenting, make it a useful and thought provoking quote, NOT an advertisement to come see your Blog. DO NOT try putting your Blog Link into the comment as most Blog platforms allow for a site link that will take care of that for you. Commenting may also get traffic from the Blog owner in which you left the comment. I have read good comments and visited the Blog to see what else they had to say. Commenting or visiting neighbors should always be a key component of traffic generation.

HyperText Link; The Basics

2012-06-24T20:19:00.000-07:00

HyperText Link is the basic starting point when talking about any Links or Linking Strategy. Hyper Text Markup Language or HTML for short is the basic Language in writing websites and is the basic code used to write Links.

Blogger now makes it easy to make a Link, highlight the words you want to Link, click on the tab that says Link and type in the browser page address you want the link pointing to. I think it is good to know how to write this link yourself, unfortunately, I cannot show it to you because Blogger renders it as a page and will not allow for the use of XMP tags to show as an example. So, here is a great page that shows examples of all the page codes.

Affiliate Links; How To Capitalize

2012-06-24T19:55:00.000-07:00

Affiliate Links are one of the best ways to Make Money Online, but it is one of the most incorrectly used. First off, DO NOT use Affiliate Links on Blogger, I had a Blog banned that was making VERY good Money.

Affiliate Links that perform the best are those that go along with a great article about the subject. For instance, writing an article about your favorite running shoes and then provide an Affiliate Link to where the reader can buy this running shoe. Most people will haphazardly fill a page with Affiliate Links and wonder why they never perform as well as everyone else's.

Also, in my opinion, linked images do not do as well as linked text. Many of your Affiliate advertisers have pre-made Affiliate Links that have the most popular words linked in text. You can get an Affiliate account at cj.com or one of the many other Affiliate Companies, even Blogger is getting into the Affiliate business.

Want to make more money? Check all the different Linking Strategies that will help you get there.

You will need to know how to Link to use Affiliate Links, Links for categories, even Links to send the reader to the information they are looking for. Let's face it, the Internet is an intertwined ball of Links. Each Link is described in more detail if you, guess what? Click the Link, you are correct!

Reciprocal Links; Good Or Bad?

2012-06-24T09:16:00.002-07:00

Reciprocal Linking is this weeks continued series on Links uses online. Reciprocal Linking is when you Link to my Blog and I Link to yours. It is pretty straightforward in how it works, but there are different strategies.

First let me say, Google used to look at these links and put great weight on them, especially if your incoming link was from a higher PR (PageRank) site. Now, these Links may be losing value. There are even some Link Farmers that will ask for a link from this Blog and they will Link from a totally different site so as to fool the search engine that it was not a Reciprocal Link.

Reciprocal Links could actually hurt your rankings. Does this mean, Google does not want you to have any incoming Links? No, Google wants Links to be more free flow and mean something and give value to the reader. If you keep the reader in mind ALL the time, you will do great. Outgoing Links to other Blogs or Websites that provide value may actually help your rankings. Link to provide value, but don't ask for a Reciprocal Link. You will get linked if you provide useful information.

Learn the In's and Out's of Links to make more Money Online.

Internal Blog Links; You Have To Love Your Blog

2012-06-23T11:49:00.000-07:00

Internal Blog Links, You have to Love your Blog before you can Love other Blogs! Catchy title, but oh how true. Internal Blog Links are links within your own pages that give the reader options to continue reading onto another subject. When you link to another page inside your own Blog, make sure the Anchor Text gives the reader a clear picture of what that page will be about. If the reader is not confused, the Search Engines stand a better chance of not being confused as well.

Internal Links allows the reader to follow along like a book, you just have to point to the next page. One of the best examples online that I have found is Darren Rowse at ProBlogger. He has what you call a sticky page. Every time I visit his page, I am there for hours being drawn further into his archives.

Internal Blog Links will actually give you new ideas on what to write about. If you ever have writers block, go read your Blog and ask yourself, What other information would I want from this point? Write about where this takes you and then go back and put an Internal Link to where to go. This is a story, a Love Story at that. You have to Love your Blog and then Link to it.

Need help with Internal Linking or the numerous other types of Links you can use to make more Money Online, check the article Links and Linking.

Anchor Text; What Is Anchor Text?

2012-06-23T10:27:00.000-07:00

Anchor Text is the words that you see highlighted that can be clicked to go to another page, just like this-----Anchor Text. If you click on the word, it is linked back to this article so you will just come back to this page, but most Anchor Text is used to send you to relevant results that you are searching for either within the same site or anywhere on the web.

Anchor Text is a valuable way to keep visitors on your Blog longer by leading the reader to different areas of interest. Google has always valued Anchor Text in their Algorithms to determine page importance. For instance, if I have 20 people link to this page about Anchor Text, it stands a better chance of coming up in Google Searches for the term Anchor Text. I could link the phrase every time I mention it back to this page, but I see that as overkill and I think Google Algorithms would ignore it after the first link, just my thoughts. I do think it is VERY important to have Internal Blog Links within your Blog though.

Google, as of April 2012 has devalued some Anchor Text links with their Algorithm changes. It hurt many Websites as they have tons of incoming links that have been built over the years as that has always been a Search Engine Optimization must. My thoughts, which may not always be right, are that Google was trying to devalue all the Affiliate Links. You think about it, some companies have millions of incoming links to their site that are Affiliates linking to them. The Affiliate site will definitely rank at the top with all these links incoming, but it may not be the best resource for readers. So, my suggestion, keep writing and linking to what you feel is a value to your reader and everything else will fall into place.

Links can be used in Many different ways and some will be a MUST to making more Money Online. You can find them all at Links and Linking; HTML Code and How To's.

2012-06-21T19:05:00.001-07:00

Do you want to Make Money Online Without Paying Anything? It is definitely possible, but DO NOT think you are going to Get Rich Quick and DO NOT believe any site that says you will.

Making Money Online Without Paying Anything is a time consuming process, but is very rewarding. Get Rich Quick schemes are everywhere Online, but don't be fooled. Let me tell you the key to making money online without spending any of your own money. The key is, you have to find something you are passionate about and write about it. You may be passionate about shopping, start a shopaholic website and put affiliate deals of the deals you find. Hey, that is an idea.

I started this blog on Blogger.com and it did not cost me any money to start. I give tips on how to realistically Make Money Online. Be advised though, DO NOT use Affiliate Links on Blogger. You can use Google Adsense and Blogger actually makes it very easy inside their console.
There are Bloggers that make 6 figure incomes online and every one of them started out writing great content. You can go for a quicker route by paying for traffic, but it is much easier when you optimize your site for incoming traffic. Building your Blog up slowly makes it much more attractive to search engines. You can buy incoming and back links, but this could actually have a negative impact on your Blog. If you build it slowly, you will get emails with offers to buy advertising on your site and this is where the money is. You can make money without spending a dime and can name your price if you have a high traffic Blog. So, if you want to make money without paying anything, get started today and write an article a day and you will see results after about 6 months. Remember, Content is King!

Google Adsense And Google PageRank

2012-06-16T12:04:00.000-07:00

Google Adsense and Google PageRank, is there a correlation? Think about it, if you have a low Click Through Rate on your Adsense Ads, but you have good content, will this affect your position in Google Rankings? Will you get Smart Priced by Google Adsense?

I do not really know the answer to this, just a question, but I will say this, the more ads you serve on your page, could affect the dollar amount you receive from those clicks. I have done this before and maybe you can do the same and let me know. Decrease the number of Google Adsense Ad Units on your page and see how it affects your overall performance. I actually decreased my number of units and noticed an increase in revenue, there could be several possibilities for this.

My PageRank could have improved because I was serving a lower number of Adsense units and thus making my CTR higher. Or, Google Adsense may have served better paying ads because of the decrease in placement. I guess I am a conspiracy theorists, but it just seems odd to lower your Adsense Units and get higher payouts. But, lets be practical, this could have been because the page was not so cluttered and camouflaged the ads better into the Content, which we all know that Quality Content Is King!
