Making Money Writing Articles by Getting Search Engine Traffic
By Terry Tiessen

Search engine traffic is the life blood of Internet business. 95% of people on line have preformed a online search, which is an estimated 61 billion searches a year. 31 billion of the searches were through Google alone.(comScore, 2007) If you are, or are planning to make money online with an Internet business, you must get placement in the search engines, particularly Google, Yahoo, MSN, eBay, AOL and Ask to name the big ones, but there are several other high class search engines out there. Internet marketing protocol says that there is no money past the third page of a prospective customer search result, but of course you will want to aim for that top 3 on the first page, to capitalize on the wealth potential of your product and web site.

Each engine rates and ranks differently, but most agree with Google and look quite strongly at “backlinks”. This is when another web site hyperlinks or “links” to your web site. The more credible or the higher the page rank of the linking site the better the reference. This raises your page rank and placement, resulting in more targeted search engine traffic finding your product. There are several ways to create backlinks such as; submitting to directories, link exchanges, buying links, blogging, online classifieds etc.

One of the best free ways to gain one-way backlinks is to submit articles to article directories. Most article directories allow live links in a resource box. Your market is looking for information on your product and it’s benefits, so a well written article with a live link to your sales page or website provides excellent free advertising. Then when the search engines index your article, you gain credit for a link. A lot of Ezine publishers and webmasters look trough article directories for relevant content and if they republish your article the link stays live and provides yet another link to your site. One article can produce hundreds of backlinks, creating higher search engine ranking for your site virally and freely.

Feel free to use the search engines yourself to find article ideas, article directories or even tips on writing money making articles. The Internet fosters creativity and good information. Using the Web to its full potential, including submitting articles to article directories, is extremely beneficial to your Internet business and your success.

The nitty gritty of online marketing is your keyword selection. People turn to the Internet as if it is a crystal ball they will type in there needs in to there search engine of choice as a keyword or phrase. i.e.” best way to invest”, “how to cure acne” “lose weight”. This is called your organic traffic, search engine traffic and is accomplished by Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your keywords. What is your solution

? The key to marketing online is to define the problem you solve and the emotional solution. This will be the core of your Internet presence. The keywords can be time consuming and in my opinion quite boring. But the tools and the subsequent market research are literally priceless and can determine success or failure of your Internet endeavors. Google, witch dominates the search engine war and is creating new uses for itself daily, provides useful and free I might add keyword research tools. The Google phenomenon approaches the e-commerce advertising from two angles, the advertiser (adwords) and the publishers (adsense). To jump the gun a little I feel phentermine the need to explain my vision of the Internet Lifestyle, it is 6 words. Multiple streams of automated residual income. So don’t worry all will be explained. But In regards to Google adsense it is an easy addition to the main plan, and adwords with the right plan is a great wealth attractor. Diversify without fragmenting or diluting the master plan. So you have defined your USP and built the keyword list. You now need a store front. If you do not have the domain name to match your company name or if you are starting an online business, buy one that is keyword rich and appropriate as soon as the budget of your endeavor allows. Godaddy is cheap and reliable. Starting cheap but effective is not only possible but a good Idea. The Internet is run on information and the advertising surrounding it. Good information costs nothing to promote and can go viral on you. This is the brunt of your work and will take up the most energy and resources this aspect of creating good “content” is something that you will out-source ASAP. If you are an aspiring writer or even writers with some renown or if you want or are a public figure or speaker you may want to create the information “products” yourself and out -source or automate the distribution only.

This is where I make an impassioned plea to keep our Internet Valuable, to not cheapen it with badly spun PLR or Keyword spamming articles and publishing’s. The software driven keyword scraped websites for just to run adsense, add nothing to the over all wealth of knowledge or usefulness. But a well thought out keyword optimized article or press release can be almost magically effective
