How To Make Money From Home – Lesson #2

If you want to how to make money from home, then you will need to know how to get traffic. Without it you will never make any money. If you can learn how to drive highly targeted, but inexpensive (or free) traffic, then you will always be able to make money.

Traffic, or lack thereof is what kills most every online business. You should spend a majority of your time learning and driving traffic to sites.

How To Make Money From Home – Get Traffic

The traffic that I am going to teach you how to get is free, passive, automated, and highly targeted. This is how you create a sustainable low maintenance online income from home.

It’s search engine traffic. Most all searches online originate from a search engine. The 3 major search engines are Google, Yahoo, and Bing (MSN).

In order to get ranked for a keyword phrase the search engines need to see that your site is relevant for a search term, popular, and that it is trustworthy. If you want a fast ranking then you will want to target a keyword phrase that is noncompetitive.

How To Make Your Site Relevant?

It starts first with your domain name. A good domain name gets a huge boost in rankings especially in Yahoo and Bing, but also in Google. Many times with the right keyword you can get ranked almost solely on this and adding some relevant content.

Which takes me to my next point… relevant content on your site. You need content on your site that is related to the keyword phrase that you want to rank for, to the keyword phrase that is in your domain name.

How should you structure your content? You should have your keyword in the title of your page, you should have it in the first sentence of the post, it should be bolded at least one time throughout the post, and you should link to your home page with the targeted anchor text you want to rank for.

You should also end a post with the keyword phrase. Watch how I end this article later.

The next step is your internal linking structure. Each post should link back to the homepage and in the homepage sidebar you should have links to each of the 4 other core post.

This may sound complicate, but honestly you’ll discover that it is not. Plus once this is done you don’t have to worry about it. You only have to get links pointing to your blogs homepage and inner pages so that you rank #1 for your keyword phrase and get free traffic clicking on your ads so that you make money.

How Do You Get Links To Make Your Blog Popular?

I cannot stress enough that each blog should have a singular focus. It should be created around one main keyword phrase.

You start off getting links by writing articles and submitting them to major article directories like: Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, and ArticleBase.com. Those are 3 major ones.

In your article you should have two links. One should link to your home page and the other should link to a inner page. Do not submit the same article to another directory. The link will not count because the search engines will not index the page because it’s duplicate content. If the page (article) is not indexed, then the link will not count, so what’s the point?

You don’t have to write a totally new article each time, you can just change the title some and rewrite the same article. Try to make it as close to 70% unique as you can. Just use synonyms for words in your article.

This can take a while so there is a way to semi automate it. You can either buy a article rewriter like Magic Article Submitter or you can pay to have it rewritten for you by a Human Rewritter. That cost about $5-7 per article, but once it’s rewritten you can use that one seed article to create hundreds even thousand of articles.

Keep in mind that the more article directories that you submit to the better. Using an article submitter that submits rewritten or spun content will prove to be worth the money in it’s first use.

Each article on your site including the homepage should have at least one article linking it on the 3 major directories that I talked about above and at least one mass submission to a ton of directories linking back to each individual page.

This should be plenty to rank well. If you need a boost then you can write another article a link to the articles that are linking to you on the 3 major directories. This will give them a boost and make the link that is linking to you of higher quality.

Getting ranked in the search engines, search engine optimization, is all about relevant anchor links.

Also as you start to create more blogs you can link related blogs together. You can also get links by finding related blogs in your niche and requesting link exchanges.

You can find like minded people to exchange links with them over at Griz’s niche support page. Or you can check out Connect Content.

Oh yeah, one last thing. The links that you get should vary.

If you main keyword is how to get rid of fleas, you want to get links for how to get rid of fleas fast, how to get rid of fleas quickly, how do I get rid of fleas, how can I get rid of fleas and so on and so forth.

If you want to make money at home you will need to know how to get traffic consistently. And if you want to have have freedom and be able to travel and take time off without worrying about making money and if your gonna get traffic to your sites, then you need search engine traffic.
