Content!

As a nice follow up to my last post here at Make Money Hints, which, believe it or not was all about how to make money fast by getting your site up to the top of the serps using a combination of on-site and off-site SEO techniques, I’m going to continue the theme of using everything you have in your armoury that is legit to keep up the pressure.

One of the most consistently successful make money fast ways of keeping your site on that first page of teh SERPs once you got it there is to keep the content fresh and new. You want to make money fast from organic traffic, as I’ve said countless tinmes in this blog and to do that you need to be on page one of the SERPs.

Google is constantly on the look-out for sites that have fresh, new and relevant content to the topic they are about. And whether that content is really radically new and exciting never heard before kick ass information, or whether its the same old same old rehashed and repackaged like just about every Internet Marketer out there including me is doing, they will always lift the sites that provide it over the ones that don’t.

Simple fact of life. Keep yoru make money fast content fresh any way you can and your site or blog will stay high. Ignore your site and don’t add any fresh content in there for a while and watch your baby slide down the chute into the nether regions of obscurity with all the rest of the lazy, couldn’t be bothered to write some stuff once in a while on their sites!

Oh, and one other make money fast thing about that content. You want it to contain enough of your main and secondary keywords (as in this case fast make money) as you can without overdoing it and keyword stuffing your content. That’ll just get your site flagged as spam which you definitely do not want if you desire any chance to make money fast with it.

But as for your easy make money ways content itself. You want it to be readable, of course or you’ll just end up with all the Eastern European badly written English unintelligible crap sites on page two hundred plus. You know the ones I mean? yep, they’re the ones you come across when you’re searching for your new site in the SERPs and keep going down page by page until you find it eventuall…

Ok, that’s a bit unfair, but hell, it happens!

When your site is new it won’t suddenly jump out and appear on page one! No matter how many make money fast back-links you have in the beginning. The search engines take time to spider all those links and even then if the big G thinks you got them too fast… Wham! your site is gone to the sandbox!

So back to fast make money ways content. Yeah, I know I keep slipping in those easy make money fast keywords all over th place but I’m doing it because that’s what keeps this site on page one and not writing the best grammaticlally correct English. Why? Because easy make money fast is a phrase that doesn’t easily lend itself to fitting nicely into any grammar I know, so it just has to stick out like a sore make money fast thumb wherever I can insert it because I want the search engines to know that they are my main keywoprds for this site.

W hich is how you will also get your site onto the front page my friend. Not by courting hundreds of loyal readers from stumbleupon and digg, or collecting hundreds of loyal feed readers. They will get you jack shit, unless of course your only motive is to be read and not to make money (fast)!

To make money fast in this cut-throat game, you firsdt need to have your site or blog in another niche than the not-so-easy make money niche. Why? As I and several other marketers have repeated over and over gain, you will not make money in the anything but easy make money niche. Its crap. The only people that read make money fast blogs are other marketers trying to find the holy grail of how to easy make money fast for themselves.

Ok, you might attract a few noobs and maybe they’ll buy an affiliate eBook through your link, but most noobs only read the sites that are at the top of the SERPs and those sites are SEO’d up to the hilt by expert marketers all vying for that front page spot so they can make money fast from them. If you’re just starting out forget it. You have absolutely no chance of breaking in there for a loooong time!

Instead, direct your energy and enthusiasm into a less competitive niche where you stand a better chance of getting onto the front page and attracting genuine organic search traffic that will click on your ads and affiliate links (mainly because they don’t know what they are) and that way you will make money. Fast?

Maybe not, but it will grow steadily over time, which is the only way to do it after all.

How To Make Money Fast

How to make money fast is a real popular question asked by many people new to Internet Marketing. This might just be a post that will show you how to make money fast using my keyword experiment a little further. My last post here at Make Money Hints, went off on a slight tangent and looked primarily at researching keywords to use in the niches to make money fast. In this how to make money fast post, I’m going to make one or two unpopular statements.

Unpopular How to Make Money Fast Statement 1.

Being on the first page of Google may not get you any traffic.

Unpopular How to Make Money Fast Statement 2.

Being ranked highly for your main keyword may still not get you any traffic.

Let me explain those two statements with a prime example – this how to make money fast blog. If you were to go to Google and type in “fast make money” with the quotes (as most Internet Marketers do), you’ll see this blog sitting in about position two or three. That’s on page 1, by the way. Yesterday I actually sat in the no.1 spot for a while until some bozo with a damn Youtube make money fast video came and stole the top spot.

It doesn’t matter as YouTube posts don’t generally tend to last very long in the SERPs, especially in the make money fast niche.

Update 8th March – I just looked and I’m back in the No.1 spot – here’s a screen-shot:

Just shows you how fast YouTube posts drop after their initial placement – the reason is they don’t have any useful written content, so Google doesn’t keep ‘em high for long. Incidentally, the image gives me another chance to promote my featured keyword how to make money fast as the “alt” text – always worth sneaking in an extra bit of SEO! Now back to yesterday’s post…

Well, upon seeing this blog right up near the top, you’d think I’d be cashing in on some of the several hundred a day searches that are made on the term fast make money, or make money fast.

You’d be wrong. Why?

Most people who are not Internet Marketers and therefore exactly the kind of organic, targeted traffic you want at your site, do not use the quotes when searching on a keyword phrase. Let me repeat that little nugget of wisdom if you didn’t quite get it first time around.

Most people do NOT use the quotes when searching on a keyword phrase.

What does that mean in terms of page placement for your site? well, have a look. Type in the same search term, fast make money, this time without the quotes. This site is nowhere – well, languishing down on page 3 or 4, which is as good as nowhere.

What does that tell you?

That while you might think you’re site is doing really well for the long tail keyword you are targeting, if it doesn’t sit in the same spot in the SERPs with or without the quotes, then you are NOT going to attract a slice of that particular search traffic pie.

By way of an example which you can’t see (I’m not revealing this niche – sorry!) I rank about halfway down page one in a different niche that according to Keyword Elite attracts over 100k searches a month! That’s with the quotes – without them, I rank on page two – not so good, but worse than that, it means I don’t see any of those high volume, lucrative searches. If the people searching the two word keyword search term were using the quotes, I’d be seeing a flood of traffic to my site, which pretty much goes to prove my point here.

I know that I have to get that site onto page 1 and pronto – there’s a ton of money to be had from so many searches. That site will certainly make money fast from its PPC and affiliate ads once it gets up high on page one.

Of course the second unpopular make money fast statement ties in with the first, if you were wondering, apart from one minor detail. Well, that minor detail is actually a glaringly obvious BIG detail when it comes to not being able to make fast money from a particular long tail keyword – and that is you should always make sure your keyword is actually being searched on in the first place! Not much use being ranked No.1 for a term that doesn’t get any searches, like another of my early sites that I put together before I really knew what I was doing!

We live and learn when it comes to slow or fast make money ways!

So, to sum up – the rather unpopular and harsh make fast money lesson that I’m expounding here today is that even though you may think you’re doing ok, you may not be, unless you can rank high for keywords that are well searched… both with and without the quotes. How to make money indeed!
