5 Top Secret Steps When Blogging to the Bank

By Patrik Gisselsson
                                 There are multiple ways of making money online. One cheap and effective way is to make use of blogs. Even if most people know what a blog is nowadays, the general view is often that they are only used as a fun "diary" to share people's opinions. If someone makes money it's a schoolgirl that happened to have luck writing about a popular topic.

For those few who know the full potential of this money making medium also know that it's not just setting up a blog and watch the money flow into your bank account. Yes, it takes a bit of luck as well as a lot of work and effort in order to be successful but if you are consistent, determined and work for a long term strategy, you will be rewarded.

For people that haven't a clue about blogs and blogging, a free blogging service like blogger.com is advised to start up with and learn the ropes. However, if you are serious about blogging, you should look at registering your own domain and get a hosting account for your blog as soon as possible.

I will hereby grant you 5 secret steps to build a money making blog. You need a good mix of research, setup, optimization, monetization and traffic driving tactics in order to make your blog successful.

1. Research Phase - Find a niche that people are willing to spend money in and you are comfortable to work with. To come up with ideas go through popular Magazines in Amazon, Popular products in Ebay and most published/viewed articles in EzineArticles. Choose a subniche that has at least 10-500 searches a day in Wordtracker and under 10.000 competing pages when searching for the main keyword in Google. Also check Clickbank and Commission junction to see if there are good products that match the keywords.

3. Setting up your Blog - A keyword rich domain name does wonders with Google so choose wisely. For the niche golf swings you could choose a domain name like improvemygolfswings.com. The recommended blogging platform to install is Wordpress. Optimize the blog with at least the following plugins: All-in-One SEO Pack, Google XML Sitemaps, Akismet, Feedburner, Google Analytics and Auto Social.

3. Populate your Blog - Choose 2-3 main keyword phrases to start optimizing your blog for. Use phrases that you gathered from the research phase to find content for your blog by searching Ezinearticles, technorati, PRweb, forums, magazines and books. You can also use Google Alerts to receive daily keyword specific articles. Make daily posts by rewriting the content you gathered in your own style or just adding your comments under the article. Don't just copy other peoples work. Include keywords in the title, body and header tags but don't over optimize the posts.

4. Monitize your blog - with products from Clickbank and Commission Junction. Sprinkle affiliate links in posts and banners in the sidebar. Use common sense and don?t make it look like a big advertisement blog. 1-2 Products to start with are enough but you could also do a review page with 3 top products in the niche.

5. Traffic Driving Strategies: Submit Articles to Ezinearticles, Goarticles, Isnare and other article directories. You can also use an article submission service to automate this. Submit your RSS feed to RSS services such as Feedage, Feedagg, Feedfury and Feedsubmitter. Bookmark each post you make in sites like Digg, Stumble Upon, Del.icio.us and Propeller. Socialmarker is a good service for this. Comment on other People?s blogs and make use of free services like Squidoo, Hubpages, Weebly and Blogger to create article pages that link back to your blog.

If you are persistent and keep doing the traffic generation tactics mentioned above you will soon see a boost in visitors and hopefully a good amount of revenue stream. Always strive for good quality content that enriches the users experience and update your blog regularly.

If your blog doesn't perform as well after doing all of the above tactics for a month or two, you could turn down the effort and some Adsense on it instead. Repeat the process on a new blog. All blogs does not become successful and some take a long time to do, by having a couple of blogs out there you will spread your chance of hitting a gold mine.

The other reason is that people tend to go on an easy way to earn money. For example most people stay away from paid membership survey sites. They always look for the easy way what happens is they fall on paid survey sites that pay so little or sometimes survey sites that do not pay at all.

Some people may also get bored after trying out paid surveys for a little while that they do not want to continue.

If your website is less than a year old forget it. Google AdSense also has very strict terms of service and if you mess up at all your account will get deleted. You will get banned. No explanations.

Testimonials of users of the Top Secret Magic Code indicate earnings well in excess of what Google AdSense is capable of.

Google AdSense is they have been known to abruptly terminate peoples AdSense accounts without an explanation. I personally know of one guy who had earnings of something like $22,000 for one month when Google shut down his AdSense account and did not send him the money and would not return attempted contacts!

This is not an issue with Top Secret Magic Code. You will be amazed at its simplicity - but do not for a second conclude incorrectly that because it's so simple that it can not work (there is a little more I have to add that gives it a "little twist" - so read this whole ebook before deciding whether or not you "get it!")

This is because once you have got it down pat, there will be no turning back because you will have discovered a very quick, convenient and easy way to add as many additional income streams as you want and make therefore as much money as you want. Short of "shooting fish in a barrel" this has to be one of the easiest ways to make money ever invented (yet I'm still surprised at how few people have really caught on to this as yet!)

Article Writing for Profit - Writing Tips to Increase Your Online Earnings

By Sean R Mize
                        Article writing is one of the most effective ways to promote products in the online arena. Through this, you can easily educate your prospects about the features and benefits that your products or services can offer. As you know, online users will only make a purchase after getting enough information they need in making well-informed buying decision.

Here are some writing tips to keep in mind to ensure that you'll be able to attract your potential clients and later on, convince them to buy from you:

Think about the needs of your readers. First thing to do is to figure out exactly what your potential clients might be looking for when they go online. Are they looking for product reviews or in-depth information about their areas of interest? Perhaps, they want to learn new things or increase their knowledge on their areas of interest. It's important that you know what they want so you can easily figure out the best way to grab their attention. When choosing your topics, ensure that you go with those that are related to the products that you sell so you can easily mention your offerings on your article body.

Educate your readers. As a writer, this would be your primary goal. Load your articles with solid information to address the learning needs of your target audience. It will work to your advantage if instead of general information, you offer top secrets and insider tips to your readers. This way, you can prove your authority in your niche. If you're successful in doing that, you can be assured that online users will trust you instantly. This is exactly what you need to get them to swipe their credit cards.

Talk about your products and services. If you're placing your articles on your own website or own blog, feel free to talk about your offerings. Highlight their benefits and the things that make them way better compare to your competitors'. Mention but downplay their limitations. I would recommend that you talk about the problems of your target audience and then, present your products or services as the best solutions. Tell your readers how your product really works. If possible, offer demonstration and testimonials from your satisfied customers.

Distribute your articles. Write articles about topics related to your niche and to the products that you sell. Make them informative and easy to read. Then, distribute them to directories and ezines. This process, which is often called article marketing will help in getting the kind of online exposure you need for your website. This will also help in building links for you site (through your resource box) that may lead to better page rank. The higher your page rank, the more traffic you'll be able to attract. As you know, more people giving your site a visit would mean better chances of making decent sales.

Professional SEO: Hand Off to Bob or Outsource the Job

By Scott Buresh
                          We are often asked if professional SEO (search engine optimization) can be done effectively utilizing in-house talent. Despite our obvious self-interests on the subject, our answer is always a qualified "yes"- you can achieve professional SEO results using existing talent. However, for every company we have known that has met with great in-house SEO success, we know of many more that have seen their in-house efforts fail. We have also discovered the companies that have succeeded share some common traits.

If your company is considering doing SEO in-house, there are some critical questions that you should address before you proceed.

1. Do I have the proper resources at my disposal to achieve professional SEO results? Search engine optimization takes time, and your internal SEO expert will need to have a great deal of it at his or her disposal - especially at the project's outset when target audiences, keyphrases, and optimization schemes are first being established. Even after the initial optimization effort, the nature of SEO will require this person to spend ample time keeping up with industry trends, monitoring campaign progress, performing A/B testing, and expanding the campaign as new product and service areas are added. Perhaps even more important than time, achieving professional SEO results requires a unique set of aptitudes. The person responsible for your internal SEO initiative must possess the ability to learn quickly and to look at your website from a macro-perspective, marrying together the needs of sales, marketing, and IT. He or she can not be an aggressive risk taker, as this is often a surefire way to get your website penalized and potentially removed from the major search engines. These gifted people exist in many companies, but given the unique attributes that these individuals possess, their time is often already spent in other crucial areas of the business. Without enough time to invest in the project or the right type of person to execute it, an internal SEO initiative is likely doomed to fail.
2. Do I know which departments of my company should be involved, and will they work with an insider? As mentioned above, professional SEO, by necessity, involves marketing, sales, and IT. The SEO expert must work with marketing to find out what types of offers and initiatives are working offline to help translate them effectively online. He or she must work with sales to identify the types of leads that are most valuable so that you can target the right people in the keyphrase selection process. And, finally, your SEO expert will need to work with IT to determine any technical limitations to the SEO recommendations, learn of any past initiatives based on a technical approach, and get the final optimization schemes implemented on the website. Sadly, in many businesses, these departments have a somewhat adversarial relationship. However, it is the duty of the SEO expert to act as a project manager and coordinate the efforts of all three departments if you are going to get the most out of your campaign. No professional SEO project can be completed in a vacuum. For whatever reason, it is often easier for an outsider to get adversarial departments on the same page, in the same way that a marriage counselor might convince a woman of her undying love for her husband while the husband is still grimacing from a well-placed knee in the parking lot.
3. Will someone be held accountable for the results? This may seem like a small consideration, but it can have a tremendous impact on the success of the campaign. If you have added this responsibility to some poor soul's job description with the direction that he or she should "do the best you can," you'll be lucky to make any headway at all (especially if the person is not enthusiastic about SEO). Whether SEO is done in-house or outsourced, someone will have to take responsibility for showing progress, explaining setbacks, and continually improving results. Without this accountability, it is very common to see an initiative fade as the buck is passed.
4. Can I afford delayed results based on a learning curve? It's a reality - professional SEO expertise has a steep learning curve. While the information on how to perform the basics of optimization are freely available on the web, much of the information out there is also contradictory, and some of it is actually dangerous. It takes time for someone unfamiliar with the discipline to sort the SEO wheat from the SEO chaff (on a side note, a "quoted" search of Google reveals that this may actually mark the first occasion in human history that the phrase "SEO chaff" has been used - we're betting it's also the last). Simply put, if the person you are putting on the job has no experience, it will take longer to get results. This may not be a consideration if you aren't counting on new business from SEO any time soon. However, if you are losing business to your competition due to their professional SEO initiatives, time might be a larger factor.
5. Will it cost me less to do it in house than it would to choose a professional SEO firm? Often, companies will attempt this specialized discipline in-house in order to save money, and sometimes this works out as intended. However, accurate calculations of the cost of in-house labor that would be involved versus the price of the firm you would otherwise hire should be performed to make an accurate comparison. When making this calculation, also factor in the opportunity cost of the resource - the tasks that your in-house people are not able to perform because they are involved in SEO. In addition, if worse comes to worst and your in-house SEO expert is led astray by some of the more dangerous "how-to" guides available, it can cost even more to repair the damage than it would have to hire a professional SEO firm to perform the optimization from the outset. And an internal SEO campaign gone wrong can cost even more than the stated fee - websites that violate the terms of service of the major search engines (whether intentional or not) can be severely penalized or even removed, costing you a lot of lost revenue when potential customers can not find your website for a period of time.
6. Do I believe that the end result I'll get in-house will be equal to or greater than the results I would have gotten from a professional SEO firm? Search engine optimization can create huge sales opportunities, and slight increases in overall exposure can have not-so-slight increases in your bottom-line revenue. If you believe that your talented in-house resource will, given enough time, achieve results equal to or greater than those that could have been achieved by the professional SEO firm you might have chosen, it may make sense to do it internally. However, in addition to a better knowledge of industry trends, one clear advantage that search engine optimization firms have is the benefit of the experience and macro-perspective that comes from managing many different websites over time. Professional SEO firms can watch a wide range of sites on a continual basis to see what trends are working, what trends aren't, and what formerly recommended tactics are now actually hurting results. This macro-perspective allows professional SEO firms to test new tactics as they appear on a case-by-case basis and apply those results across a wide range of clients to determine what the benefit is. It is harder for an individual with access to only one site to perform enough testing and research to achieve optimum results all the time, something that should also factor into the equation.
7. Do I have at least a slight tolerance for risk? Neophytes to SEO can make mistakes that can lead to search engine penalization or removal. This happens most commonly when they have an IT background and treat SEO as a strictly technical exercise. We are often called in to assist companies who have had an internal initiative backfire, leaving them in a worse position than the one they were in before they started. The simple truth is that you cannot perform effective SEO without marrying your efforts to the visitor experience, but this is not something that is intuitively understood when people approach SEO for the first time. However, professional SEO firms are not perfect either. Some firms use those same optimization methods that violate the search engines' terms of service and can get your site penalized. So, if you do decide to outsource, educate yourself on SEO and do some research on the firm. Know the basics of the business, find out who the firm's clients are and how long they've been in business, and ask for professional references - just like you would do with any major business purchase.

If you have considered all of the above questions, and your answers to all seven are "yes," your company may be uniquely equipped to achieve professional SEO results in-house. If you answered "no" to any of the first three questions but "yes" to the rest, it does not necessarily mean that you can't perform SEO in-house - just that you may not be in a position to do so at this time. Taking the actions required to get you in the right position to answer in the affirmative might be worth your while. However, if you answered "no" to any of the last four questions, you may want to consider outsourcing the project to a professional SEO firm.

A professional SEO firm has the resources, the time, the expertise, and, most importantly, the experience, to launch an SEO initiative for your website that will have a positive effect on your bottom line. Whichever option you choose, it is important that you fully embrace the channel. A half-hearted initiative, whether done internally or outsourced, can be as ineffective as taking no action at all.

What is SEO Anyway?

By Patricia Tuley
                          Both pay-per-click and SEO are targeted to get your website placed as close to the top of search engine results as possible. Marketing and SEO are different, yet very, very similar. SEO are considered as the main factors in enhancing the traffic of one's website. The concepts of good SEO are hardly a secret. The people who least understands issues with URL structure and SEO are the very people who create them: web developers, programmers, and software developers.

Many long-time SEO's are now looking at the big picture and working with usability analysts. Some SEO are scam artists. I find it interesting that so many newcomers are given the wrong impression that there is one almighty answer to doing well in search engines. SEO are specialized techniques used to optimize your web site, to be Search engine friendly and increase your chances of placing well in searches. But SEO can also be the most profitable methods of driving leads because any leads you receive from SEO are free leads.

There are a large number of companies that adopt a fast and unethical approach to SEO known as Black Hat SEO. They employ unethical techniques that are against search engine policies. The best results from SEO are rarely achieved overnight. Black hat SEO are the techniques used to fool the search engines in order to bring in more traffic to websites. Website owners who unknowingly utilize black hat techniques of SEO are more vulnerable to changes in search engine algorithms and faced being banned.

Most hardcover books on the subject of SEO are best viewed as a vehicle to help the beginner understand the process of search engine optimization. This is because the principles behind SEO are not easy. They are very informative and most webmasters are involved in SEO and using it. White hat and black hat SEO are two opposing views of how to do search engine optimization. In a nutshell, SEO are methods that aim to improve the position or rank of a website in the listings produced by search engines. The benefits of SEO are almost unlimited.

Watch out for SEO Tools and software that is outdated and totally useless. Always research before you buy any SEO software because the search engine Algorithms are constantly changing thereby improving their search technologies to provide the most relevant results for their users. SEO tools for Google, MSN and Yahoo are numerous. SEO tools for press release optimization were also launched by PRWeb at the end of June called SEO Wizard. Search engine optimization is not easy, but with the right SEO tools, your website promotion task just got a lot easier. Blogs are one of the best SEO tools around and some like WordPress are free. Google Sitemaps' are a powerful SEO tools which you can get free by visiting my website.

MSN has launched a suite of SEO tools to go with their Pay Per Click product Adcenter. There are many SEO tools available on the internet, some are better then others, and some are not. Header tags, proper Keyword density, proper text formatting fonts, start text key-phrase as whole phrases, alt image tag text, links pointing to your site and each page and your domain name itself are some things to pay attention too. Many specialized SEO tools can help you determine the popularity and the competitiveness of your possible keywords and can help improve your search engine ranking particularly in Google.

Writing fresh content for SEO plays a large role in keeping visitors on a web site. Let's talk unique web page content and SEO content strategy. Finding a good SEO content writer is easier than you think. Just run a Google search or checkout elance.com. What is good SEO Content? It is unique, quality information that your visitors can use and is helpful to them. RSS feeds are an invaluable tool in the SEO content toolbox. If you scrape SEO content and end up scraping a couple spam pages, you may get noticed even more because someone is investigating the other spam pages.

The primary factor that will determine whether your SEO content is "good enough" is the content provided by competing websites. You need unique content that nobody has in order for it to pass duplicate content filters. That's why it is important to get your content articles indexed before you submit them to the search engines. I think nowadays though search engine algorithms can trace back the content and see who published it first, so at least make sure you publish it to your website or blog before submitting it to article directories.

To strengthen the theme of your web site, you need keyword rich SEO content. SEO content writing tips content writer's main aim is to create a new written piece which is original, simple, informative and also to the point. Write specific targeted SEO content for the independent pages. Unique SEO content remains king. Showing your visitors you can really write unique, compelling content, your traffic will grow very fast. Earlier it was just content writing but now it is widely known as SEO content writing. However there are some strict rules enforced on SEO content. Once you have visitors, your SEO content should be converting them into customers. With effective SEO content on your website, half of your search engine rank optimization work is done.

Ethical search engine optimization is a must or you will get banned. It's not if, it's when. Search engine optimization was and still is fascinating to me. Search Engine Optimization is a crucial part in a websites success. The objective of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is to achieve high natural search engine placement for relevant keywords or keyword phrases. Hiring an ethical search engine optimization company to rank well in the natural results is essential to long term success.

Your white hat Search engine optimization (SEO) campaign will provide you with a long term increase in targeted traffic and qualified visitors to your Web Site. Visit my site often and add it to your favorites as I update you with the latest news and rumors in the search engine optimization industry everyday. The effects of bad search engine optimization are devastating and very depressing. Each website is unique in its own way and hence your (SEO) plans differ from website to website.

My site has some tips on how to perform search engine optimization (also know as SEO) on your website. I have a free, comprehensive guide to the practice of search engine optimization for those unfamiliar with the subject if you send me an email. There's a lot of hype out there about search engine optimization (SEO) services. Some are good and some are bad. Read through Google's terms of service as they have some information on their site about it.

Too often, visual design and SEO are perceived as a mutual sacrifice. Pay-per-click and SEO are targeted to get your website placed as close to the top of search engine results as possible. Pay-per-click cost money, but the clicks from SEO cost you nothing. SEO are considered as the main factors in enhancing the traffic of one's website. Both, PPC and SEO are important. The truth is, the most rewarding part of SEO are often the slowest to reward. PR and SEO are based mostly on editorial credibility and relevance, not a direct payment for exposure.

SEO are specialized techniques used to optimize your web site, to be Search engine friendly and increase your chances of placing well in searches. There are a large number of companies that adopt a fast and unethical approach to SEO known as Black Hat SEO. The main components of on-page SEO are optimization of the title tag, the headline tag, the body text and the Meta tags. Companies interested in SEO are occasionally not very happy with how their website looks. Programmers with an understanding of SEO are in high demand. As a matter of fact, sites with excellent Search Engine Optimization are making giant leaps in rankings and getting a major boost in free traffic with Google's new update.

Great web usability and SEO are wasted if folks who visit your web can't tell that you are worthy of their trust. Those who specialize in SEO are in the unique position of understanding the web in a way that no traditional marketing agency can hope to. White hat and black hat SEO are two opposing views of how to do search engine optimization so if you use one, choose with great care. The second most important aspect for high SEO is the headers. Use H1, H2, H3, H4 headers.

Many of the techniques that can be used for SEO are banned by the various search engines. The benefits of SEO are almost unlimited. Bad techniques of SEO are a strict 'NO' - Like same color text as the background and Doorway pages can get your website banned. The five forces of SEO are relevant Keywords, unique Content, clean Code, relevant Links and proper use of Technology. Designing for users and designing for SEO are not mutually exclusive goals. There will be compromise. White hat SEO are techniques that follow precisely the rules and guidelines provided by search engines stand a better chance of receiving traffic and higher rankings than black hat techniques.

For this reason it is important to try to stay updated as far as new SEO are concerned. The off-page elements of website promotion and SEO are just as important. The majority of issues with SEO is very basic and just takes time to be picked up on search engines. Web design and SEO are two very different disciplines, but a certain degree of collaboration is required. It's easy to see why effective SEO are now very much in demand. Black hat SEO is techniques used to trick or manipulate search engines for higher rankings.

If done properly, the results of your SEO efforts are very impressive. Those who practice what some refer to as "ethical" and "correct" SEO are called White Hat SEO's. The most important for SEO is to follow the rules and you won't have anything to worry about.

PTC Beginners Tips

By Hossam Elgharraz
                        1. Use Different Usernames and passwords 

Well basically In PTC, if you have an insecure password or use password on two sites, there's a chance your account will get hacked, and your balance cashed out to there account. Want to stop this? You'll need a secure user name/password which is what this guide is for. User name: You may think: what's the harm in using the same username on every site? Well the risk is extremely but till existent, of an admin of another PTC site where you use the same username will come and hack your account. Or someone Might just hack your password using tools or luck. How to make unique on each site? Well there are quite a few networks of PTC's with the same owners so you can use the same user name there, (for example the latin PTC network the paid clicks network the titan cash network etc) so you can save time and effort there. If you use only decent PTC's then you should only need 4 or 5 user names Password:Base rules: don't ever use the same password twice (except maybe on networks - your choice) and never use the same password for a PTC as you do for your PayPal/alertpay account. Try to use uppercase lower case and numbers in your password. A few good password examples:Fgn145JklP87RG12grwant even more secure? Use at least 10 characters JK12joo98KJFfF900aFfFTTFaF21135off course don't use these as there examples. Trusting thousands of dollars in an account? Use a password like thisPjRT1T5HHHas5.9561thats all, hope you don't get hacked....

2. First look what PTC is about ..
Most PTC Sites will let you view ads before you register look at the ads and the minimum payout and enter those into the calculator below. If the PTC Site has a Forum, view the Payment Proof/Success Stories section(s) for payment proofs .Some PTC Sites have a Total Paid statistic. If the number is over $100 and there are payment proofs, it is probably a trusted site If you are constantly receiving referrals, it is time to upgrade if the premium membership gives you more for referral link If you are on a forum that allows referral links/images, put a referral link in your signature Sometimes, the PTC site may display an advertisement that has many images. (Such as Payment Proofs) To make it take a lot less time, click on a link within the page that goes to something else that doesn't have images. (Such as My stats)

3. Investment in PTC's -
1) Always check for other people having success from investing at that PTC If there's any bad ones you might not want to invest at all!
2) Make sure the site pays in under half a month, anything more is extra time to get your ROI (return on investment).
3) The deal must have a high probability of earning itself back within 45-60 days MAX (including cash out time) Anything higher is unlikely to be worth your time4) Never Use New sites, There's no telling how fast they might disappear (sites under 2 months are not wise investments)
4) You should of been paid at least once personally by the site. While this is not always necessary it is very useful.
5) Only assume half your referrals will be active unless the site states otherwise, this will help you plan better new tips since edit button came back
6): Keep away from bux.to unless you hate money that much... And if you do hate it send all your money to me...
7) sites with $0.01 or higher will often die quickly

4. Upgrades-
Look for outrageous other the top claims (1,000% referral earnings for example) which will make the site a scam. The tips stated above should be about 99% full proof when investing on any PTC site and should help you make a good ROI (return on investment)

5. Click More than one site at once-
A lot of you may already do this as a quicker way to get through all of the ptc sites. I currently use Firefox. But I just have like 3 browsers open and I am on like 1 or 2 PTC sites on each browser. This will definitely keep you busy plus you will earn more than doing one or maybe even 2 at a time. With internet explorer, when you click on a link it opens up in a new window, with opera or Firefox whenever you click on a link it just opens in a new tab. Hope this helps..

Other useful tips -
First you will have to register in as many websites as you can. Try to click in as many ads as you can until you have enough cash for referrals. After you have enough cash already, don't get it out of the website! Leave it there for now. Create a blog and post there all your ref links, don't forget to say something about each site. Now that you have your blog done, convert all your cash into Ad links, this way you will have more chances to get lots of referrals in your down line. Don't worry, the refs will take sometime to come along, but when they start piling up, that's when you start cashing a lot. Don't forget to keep clicking the ads as well; this will be necessary for the next step. After the first month with referrals in your down line, the cash that you made ONLY by you clicking ads, convert it again in more Ad links

As you can see, no problems, no stress and no spamming on the web, a simple guide that uses the best resources for your max profits. This way you will never loose promising referrals and you never loose any money, since your referrals are winning it for you.
