Many people building their web sites are concerned with PageRank, which is a number value that Google applies to online page content As a web site that contains quality content ages, it can increase in PR. While good content can and will help increase your PR, other things factor into the picture. In addition, links pointing to your content from other web sites will also help the GoogleBot understand that your site has value to others. This increases your sites value and over time the PR. 

The value of page content is ranked from zero to ten, ten being the highest value your site can achieve. However, a high PR does not always mean high search results. A site with a zero PR can be positioned higher due to a variety of reasons, including the content being deemed more relevant. Sometimes it’s downright frustrating trying to achieve a higher PR, but these days, webmasters should keep in mind that PR is not the end-all be-all of achieving a high position in the search results.

When Google established the use of PR as part of their search engine algorithm many unscrupulous webmasters began to abuse its purpose by manipulating the GoogleBot into giving their site a higher PR than deserved. This practice is still going on today and often times it is called a Black Hat technique. Yet using these techniques is something that webmasters interested in long-term gains and rewards need to avoid. 

It is interesting to note that Google now has a total of 200 different elements that make up their algorithmic equations. PageRank is still one of the more valuable components, yet it is not the only consideration. Google tries to understand the relevance of your sites content by taking into consideration all 200 components including what other people think of your sites content. 

One of the most important things you can do to build your sites PR is to provide relevant quality content. It is the springboard to a successful long-term search engine solution. 

Let’s consider two important parts that make up a valuable addition to the search engine results. 

1. Quality and relevance for your reader is the first consideration. Making sure that the GoogleBot can understand that information is also important. This is where a good understanding of SEO comes in handy. It’s not a secret on how to do this. Google offers an excellent guide for webmasters to help them apply the best type of SEO for both readers and robots. All one has to do is visit Google and read their webmasters guide. 

2. Acquiring referral links or “back-links” from other sites that are related to your sites content is the second part. Don’t be fooled into believing that using techniques to fool the GoogleBot offer you anything more than temporary results. 

The right way to achieve back-links is through good SEO habbits. Joining social networks, writing quality content and submitting it to article directories or sites with similar content will help you obtain natural quality links. 

Buying your way to the top is a bad idea. People who sell back-links do so by way of Link Farms. Avoid paying for this type of service. Once Google locates these types of services all links are then recorded. If the trail of links leads to your site, it could result in your site being penalized and or removed. 

Google is fighting very hard to weed out sites that try to buy or manipulate their way to the top of the search results. There is no need to worry if you simply work at offering your visitors the relevant quality content they seek. Using these methods will help your site gain a higher PR over time and the results will be long term and rewarding.

I remember the days when I would need to scan my blog posts for the keywords I wanted and then linking them to my affiliate programs. It wasn’t so bad when I was writing my posts. I could add the links at that time but now I get content from a lot of places and have it posted automatically to my blogs.

I never would be able to handle as many blogs and sites as I do without some automation.

Well now I have a little plugin that didn’t cost me very much and the time it saves me now was worth many times more than I paid for it.

Now I have Wordpress Affiliate Pro installed and I just type in the keyword phrases I want to link to somewhere. It’s just three fields to fill in, phrase, link and status bar text. Just that easy.

You should see that my key phrase for this post, which is ‘Wordpress Affiliate Pro‘ is linked to with my affiliate link. I even have the option to specify how many times I link for any given key phrase, so I usually set it to no more than 3 times per post.

This works great for article marketing. I have a few places I get articles and a few others where I get articles written specifically for niches that are hard to find free content for.

Note: I set a few keywords in this article specifically to show you how they will link automatically. I have not placed a single link in this post. The only links are generated automatically by Wordpress Affiliate Pro.

The coolest part about Wordpress Affiliate Pro is how easy it is to change a where a link is pointing or to just remove it.

Before this cool Wordpress plugin I would have to find all the places I have a specific link and change them one at a time. Very time consuming.

Now I just go into my Admin area, to manage my Wordpress Affiliate Pro and change the link to something else.

If you have a blog and you suffer from the same time consuming issues I was then you need to look at Wordpress Affiliate Pro and then purchase it.

BANS has been getting a bad rap these day and I have to say that it’s well deserved. It’s like any automated system that can be setup and forgotten in just a few minutes. Then they sit there, their owners expecting to earn thousands, and do nothing more than clutter up the search engines.

I even did it myself so I understand how easy it is to make useless sites. In my case I keep a spreadsheet in Excel where I list my domains and where they are located, otherwise I may have never remember all the BANS sites I started.

Eventually I dropped most of the Build A Niche Store sites I had started when I first purchased the script. Now I have it down to just three BANS sites.

I will continue to add more sites to my BANS network of sites but not before planning my steps so that each BANS sites have content and not just page after page of items for sale on eBay.

People trying to get BANS sites making money just need to start adding content and linking to your pages. Get people going to your site from more places than just the search engines. I personally use a number of niche blogs to point very specifically to internal pages on BANS sites I have in the same niche.

My advice to those that have just left their BANS sites to die a slow death wondering what happened is to take some time and write, borrow or buy content that is focused.

So if you have a garden BANS site and sell lawn mowers and tractors then get some content created that talks about lawn mowers and tractors. After all the search engines do need content to really list your site where it will ever be found.

Google Conquest Blogging Platform

When blogs first arrived on the web a couple years ago, they were initially regarded as  nothing more than just another, unsophisticated avenue for individuals to air their gripes, rants, and general complaints to the world.  However, pretty soon, the intelligent people (like us marketers who have followed Alex’s methods) have recognized the use of blogs as the premier method of internet marketing – whether you are focussing on branding, selling, promoting, etc. Google and the other major search directories DEVOUR blogs. Actually, let me rephrase, Google loves blogs which are structured properly to provide RELEVANT and on-topic content.  This is a key feature with the Google Conquest blogging platform.  Coupled with the fact it will automate the optimization and promotes your site which are essential to getting the main ingrediant of your blog going – which is TRAFFIC.

As you may have noticed, blogs have literally consumed a majority of first page rankings in THOUSANDS of markets. In fact, many websites that you visit are probably a blog, but they don’t look like the traditional WordPress blog that we can spot like a sore thumb (using WordPress as an example). These blog themes have become very sophisticated in presentation and feel and have become a very influential method to promote a ton of products and/or services.  There are practically hundreds and thousands of markets which are absolutely ripe for domination by throwing up a properly search engine optimized blog and having it appear not just on the first page of the Google results, but in position #1. The best part of blogging is, especially using software such as Google Conquest, is they are VERY EASY to manage and maintain.  You write your article or post, hit publish and voila!, your article is available for the rest of the web to see – all completely formatted, keyword and tag optimized, and with a vast amount of ways to drop in Youtube videos or pictures or sound bytes as well as numerous other widgets with a  press of a button.  No need to figure out complex HTML or PHP or AJAX or Drupal etc etc etc.

Another key feature of a blog is its ability to “syndicate” your posts using RSS feeds (really simple syndication). RSS Feeds are basically a way of circulating your newly written articles to literally THOUSANDS of other blogs or sites which are “listening” for RSS Feeds based on your market to post on their own sites – again, yet another feature in Alex’s Google Conquest System which will automate this boring promotional (but very important process.

Imagine, using Alex’s Google Conquest System, you could basically create a blog from nothing, fill it with content that you didn’t even write, monetize it with Adsense Ads or Amazon Products or Clickbank products, promote it’s RSS feed to the world, and within ten minutes, have a bunch of traffic flowing to your site… Too good to be true?  It Isn’t, and it’s landed… NOW.

Search engines can drive a lot of traffic to your website, but you have to use them actively. For potential visitors to find your website, it must show up when they do a search. Create “signs” (keywords) that point a roadmap to your website. The keywords and content of the site should contain the words that people would be typing in to a search engine. When the page contains the same words that people are searching for it becomes more relevant.

Find out which words people are searching for and be very specific in the use of those words. Page relevance is determined by having more specific keywords when people perform a search. The starting point of the whole marketing strategy is the selection of keywords. Your target audience may never find you if you choose them incorrectly.

It can be complex to find keywords that people are searching for about your product. The words that you may use may not be the same words that they are typing in to find you because, unlike them, you know a lot about product. Finding keywords relevant to your niche is important and using online tools can help with this. A good service is Word Tracker but when you go to set up your pay per click campaign with Google ad words or Yahoo, they have keyword tools available as well and you should use them. The current searches being done by the people looking for your product or service are recorded, making these tools valid.

Once you have your keywords list is important to evaluate the potential effectiveness of them. A quick search for the keyword will show the number of results that appear so you can assess its popularity. The aforesaid services will also aid you at this. Search terms that are more popular are more likely to be entered into the search engines so you want to become relevant for those. Primarily, you should put yourself in the place of the consumer and set up your website so that someone who doesn’t know anything about you will be able to find you.

PPC Bully is an advanced keyword research tool developed by a highly experienced R&D team from Israel. It allows you to see exactly what your competitiors are doing, so you can “cash in” on their “test” and launch with the most lucrative combinations possible

Besides the chance to speak one’s mind freely, blogs have been discovered to serve for business purposes too, as they represent a good way to make money at home. From the many independent ways to generate income, blogs have become a very well-spoken means to get some extra cash without too much fuss. Here are some techinques to use in case you want to develop a blog into a make money at home option.

A number one revenue source is online advertising. The space on the blog can either be sold or rented to users who want to place ads similar in content to your domain. Google Adsense sets the rules for such business options as the blog owner gets paid every time an ad gets clicked on the page. Learn a few things about Google Adsense before trying to make money with it.

Another solution to make money at home is by joining an affiliate program. In accordance with the same click-through system as advertising with Adsense, affiliate work involves the promotion of some services or products of a different company. Thus, a good idea for instance is to use names of books reviewed and sold on Amazon.com. The link on the blog will redirect the site visitor to Amazon for details and purchase.

Worthy causes are known to raise funds, but it is a very low practice to make a business under such false pretense. Relying on the kindness of good strangers sounds like fraud and is punishable by law. From this perspective such bloggers fool people to make donations, and according to state regulations they are committing a crime.

A blog can function as a very serious marketing tool that can help one with the promotion of a product or service. For instance if you run a flower business and provide all sorts of arrangements for a variety of occasions, part of the blog content can be devoted to interesting facts about unique flower species or it can include how-to tips for plenty of occasions that require flower decorations. If properly done, such a make money at home way will give you lots of rewards!

For people who already have solid experience in the electronic market transactions, a blog could become not so much a way to make money at home but rather the instrument to deepen the relationship with customers. Through the blog, the users will better understand the scope of your products and services.

Making blogging money is actually easier than you may thing. The most important thing you should realise is that you need a solid plan of action if you are going to have any hope of earning a good income from your blogs.

You can no longer expect to see the cash rolling in just by putting up a blog!

But, where do you start to find an action plan in order to make a living from your blogs?

The first thing you need to do is find a mentor or model from someone who is already a successful niche blogger.

“The Niche Blogger!” is a fantastic place that I have found that shows new people how to build a solid business from blogs.

The program is really comprehensive and well thought out.  This helps you learn quickly and makes sure you don’t spend any money on unnecessary programs or gadgets (which is so easy to do when you are starting out!).

The Niche Blogger is not a get rich quick system.  It is a fantastic program to make a solid business but like any new business, it does require you to work hard to make it work.

If you have a look around you will find there are loads of methods available to make money blogging.  Many of them are just scams, so do yourself a favour and don’t get involved in them.

If you choose a good model from the very beginning it will be easy to dedicate yourself to it because you know you will be able to succeed.

On this you much realise is that although you will start earning money quite quickly, this is not a get rich quick scheme and you will not make a fortune overnight.

Blogging money will most likely start trickling in and then build upon itself over time. Before you know it, you can be earning a great part or full-time income from your blogs!

I don’t know if you realise , but once of the most fantastic things about blogging is that once you have set your blog up, apart from a little checking now and again, it is generally passive income.

Occasionally checking your blog and tweaking a few things is normal, but generally the blog is like your very own 247 “salesperson”.

Earning money from blogs can literally change your life for the better. In fact, you might find that you can quit your day job and become a full-time blogger!

All that is needed to achieve this dream is to follow The Niche Blogger program.

Imagine a year from now you could be making a full-time living blogging.  You make look back and decide that this decision is one of the best you have every made.

Blogging money really is a great way to earn a full-time, recurring, passive income.
