What is SEO?

What is SEO ?

So you are here because your are wondering what SEO is? SEO is called Search Engine Optimization. The name pretty much gives you a hint itself but, let’s take a deeper look into better understanding what Search Engine Optimization is, how it works, and how it will benefit you and your website or blog.

If you own a website or a blog, you of course want to rank(be placed higher within search engines) and target as much traffic(website visits/hits) as you can. Nothing beats Organic Traffic. Organic Traffic is natural traffic that comes from people searching for keywords and terms that relate to your website within search engines and simply going to yours.

The more traffic that your website receives,the more money that you can make off of simply managing your website about something you may or may not love to write about. With this you don’t have to put in money to make it. If you are clueless to making money online with your website, shoot on over to our “Making Money Online” category.

Now that these basics are out of the way, let’s discuss SEO. As stated above, this is a practice of optimizing your website to rank well within search engines. I will discuss a couple of the main, basic ways of doing so.

• Building Back-links
• Using Anchor Text
• Using Keywords To Target Traffic
• Optimizing Your Meta Tags
• Unique Content

The best way to rank well within Google is by building back-links. A back-link is simply a one way link back to your site. Google counts this as a vote for your website. You want to build quality back-links with sites that are relevant to your niche(what your website is about) and with high PR websites. (PR is Page Rank 1-10, 10 being the highest). You can check website page rankings by simply using the Google Page Rank Checker tool.

Within back-links you want to use anchor text. Anchor text is the text within a link. Within this text you want to use keywords that you are trying to rank for within Google. So for let’s say this site, I would link with a few sites with my site link on theirs being “SEO Tips” then on a few others “SEO Tutorials” and on others “Search Engine Optimization” and so on so forth. You don’t want to over use just one keyword. Try to rank for a few different ones that are related to your website. It’s up to you how many you want to try and rank well for.

Using keywords which are related to your website to drive traffic is of course a must. As stated above, these are terms that you want people to search for within Google and stumble upon your site by searching them. Use keywords in meta tags, page titles, article titles, categories in your navigation bar, within your articles and etc. Do not overuse keywords in articles or on pages for this is called keyword stuffing and your site may get penalized or banned.

For every web page that you have, you want to have optimized meta-tags which are in the header of your page. Use keywords within your meta-title, description, and meta-keywords. Meta-keywords really aren’t too effective on ranking anymore because of the abuse of keyword stuffing in the past. It still doesn’t hurt to use it though. In your titles of pages, use some keywords you are trying to rank for. In the description, describe what the page is about while using a few keywords within the first 150 characters or so.

Unique Content is something I have to stress. Google doesn’t like duplicate pages and plagiarized work. Always update with fresh content that hasn’t been discussed before. Even if it has, write it better than all of those others out there. I do not recommend using article re-writers. If you can’t write a decent article about something you are interested in, you don’t need to be running a website.

Remember, you don’t have to pay out thousands of dollars to have your site ranked well within Google. You can do this yourself and we give you all of the tools, tutorials, and tips needed to achieve this. We use all of these methods on this site constantly and by each day that goes by, we rank higher and higher.

Myspace Underground Review-Free Friend Adder? No way!

Myspace Underground Review

I figured I would do a review on a site that I host for a friend, try to get it out there a bit. This is one of the only websites on the net that offers Free Friend Adding Software . Inside they offer a bunch of goodies for myspace promotion and SEO. When you enter the front page, at the bottom you have to complete 2 free offers that will take you a minute to complete and then you can register and log in to the site. I have been using this software myself and it has done me wonders on top of my twitter method that helps me Increase Traffic Using Twitter On Auto-pilot .

Myspace Underground is not just for the software though, there are tons of myspace scripts, layouts, codes, cms systems for starting myspace resource websites inside also. A lot of underground goods that you won’t find anywhere else hence the name “Myspace Underground”. I am thinking about starting one because with proper SEO and updated content, those sites get huge and bring in a lot of revenue. There was a girl from my city a few years back who owns whateverlife.com who got rich at age 15 from just starting a layout website back in the day and she noticed she started making a lot of money with Google AdSense and took it from there.

Here are some of the features of the program.

• Auto Friend Adding
• Auto Friend Grabber
• You can target certain groups of people that might be interested in your niche of a website/blog.
• Auto Comment
• Auto Message
• Auto Bulletin posting and I like this because you can even set timed posts to get a bulletin out how ever often you’d like.
• You can load in text files with friend id’s, doesn’t matter how big the file size is.(You can Add millions, heh.)

The software is also kept up to date.

So if you are trying to make money online, or even just increase traffic to your site, this method is excellent. I also use this to actually promote my solo music career and I target people who are interested in the genre of music that I play and I get thousands of friends and hits. I never bothered with those friend trains because they are just pure garbage and the people that you add just consider you as a number, which is the problem with myspace. Never add myspace whores when trying to promote and market something.

So let’s support this site and spread the word. If you’d like to promote you may use the banner above for promotion, and after you register and get inside, you can sign up for the affiliate program so you can get paid for promotion also.

Get Rich Quick For Dummies!— Or not..

Get Rich Quick For Dummies?

Or are you more of a dummy for buying into these schemes?

This is my rant about all of these get quick rich quick methods which are scams. Do you ever happen to come accross websites or advertisements that catch your eye with catch phrases like “Get rich quick!” , “Get rich overnight” , “Get rich quick for dummies” ? I am sure everyone has because these kind of sites and ads are all over the internet.

The majority of the folks who actually believe this garbage are people who have no clue when it comes to computers or people that are hitting rock bottom in life right now because of the economy. I really think it is bogus that these scam artists and swindlers rip off people like this. It ticks me off more because I came from a low income family who struggled for many years.

Any of these methods range from $5.00 – $500.00! It is sickening. 99% of the time these are just garbage e-books that never get to the point, claim to have a hundred pages when they either are in font size of 20+ or just straight up 5 or so pages. These people get away with this because they will have a disclaimer usually where no one can see or hidden away from anyone that actually say the truth about it, just so they can’t get in trouble. To novice internet users, these sites look pretty legit, flashy ads, beefed up testimonials and the works. Well, it isn’t hard to write a fake testimonial, make flashy pictures and a nice website. Any user who is intermediate+ knows better than this. My grandmother who is 71 years old even knows better.

So, I hope this article gets around the net in hopes of educating some of those who have no clue and actually believe that they can get rich quick, or over night. The only chance you got of that is basically hitting the lotto. We all know the odds of this.

If you are ever considering buying something like this:
A: Don’t do it, for the love of god. Lol.
B: Look for a nulled version of the book. (Nulled: Book was cracked-it is for free from nulling websites)
C: Just look around for a free download of the book. You will more than likely find it.

So say I am looking for an e-book for free, simply go to Google type in the name of the book and next to it type “nulled”. You will usually find a free download of it somewhere. If you don’t, well, the book wasn’t worth your time anyways.

Scams in our classifieds section of the newspaper? No way..

Also, if you ever look in the classified’s section of your newspaper, you might come across a job ad that says “Data Entry Jobs – Make Money From Home!” And it will have a website under it to go to. Please do not fall for these either. This is what is called Black Hat CPA Methods. CPA means Cost Per Action and are run by Affiliate Networks. It is not the networks themselves, but people who have an account with them. Basically They will find a campaign in their list on the network that pays for either leads(signups through a form) or sales which has something to do with data entry or something of the sort.

Half the time when you go to the website it is actually something opposite of what you saw in the newspaper, but you do it anyways out of desperation for a job due to the economy and how hard it is to find a job. Basically, you are making these people money and wasting your time. You fill out the form, and get led on to some other bullshit that is irrelivant to a data entry job. You fill out the form, or in some cases submit credit card information and purchase some trial or whatever the case may be. They make money off of this for every person that does. A lot of these leads pay them $2.00 – $100.00+. And now you just wasted your time on another dead end job offer.

If you know any scam sites like these, or scam job offers, please do not hesitate to leave a comment with the details and a link for I will be updating this topic and building a link base of all of the scam sites.

Remember, if it sounds to good to be true.. IT IS!

This is our revolution, let’s put these scam artists out of business by the hundreds and thousands.

Increase site hits with Twitter on autopilot

How to use Twitter on auto-pilot to increase hits?

In this article I will explain this pretty thorough and it is quite simple. I use this method whenever I kick off a new website or blog. First you will need to find an auto tweet plugin for whatever platform you may use, or maybe an auto tweet widget. Search google ..

If you use wordpress, get the WP to Twitter plugin and install it. This is what is called an “Twitter Auto Cross-Poster” which basically means it automatically cross posts your articles and blogs to Twitter. It will post a headline or whichever you set it to with a link on the end back to your article.

If you don’t already have a twitter and make one. Try to get as many follows as you can. I usually build it up to between 1000-2000 followers. Even a few hundred should get you started.

Setting up Twitter Auto Cross-Poster

Once you have installed it go into the options panel and you can customize it from there. Be sure to enter your login information for Twitter. This is pretty customizable and you can even choose from a couple different URL shortening sites.

I actually discovered this method when I started using Twitter last year and noticed a significant change in my uniques and hits. Make sure you update a couple times a day and add a few new articles daily. If you write articles that are unique and intriguing, your visitors will stick around. Try to urge your visitors to discuss the topic. If you keep your site/blog updated with fresh content everyday, you will notice with every day that goes by, your hits will increase. Depending on your content, you may see a huge increase. For example, when I started an old blog using this technique, I was getting 300+ hits a day after less than a week of doing so. As your site gets more popular, you will move up in ranking and well, you can guess what happens from there.

Another technique to double or triple the hits is use a couple different Twitter accounts with a seperate plugin for each one, or find one that posts to multiple accounts. Make sure you have a different follower base with each different account.
