Lesson 4

LESSON 4

Turn Traffic into Money.

My "make Money" blog is set up for other purposes which I will discuss later. I do have several other blogs that are optimized for selling products and I have got most of them listed on page 1 of Google as well. These blogs only do one thing. Sell the product. Google sends the traffic for free. I post 1 article a week to each of them and other than that they are forgotten. I spend my time creating new blogs and repeating the process over and over again. They don't all make money everyday but everyday some of them do. Combined they are averaging $106 a day. This might not seem like much to you but that's $3000 a month and my expenses are ZERO. Think on that before you say that you don't want to do the work.

Now that I have shown you the basics of setting up your blog let's discuss making some money with it.

Step 1.

Find a niche that will make money. This is all important as some niches are ready made for people who want to spend money and other niches won't produce enough cash for a cup of coffee.
Before running a keyword search you have to ask yourself what kinds of things people are willing to spend money on online. Music, electronics, books, travel, how to stuff, get rich quick stuff, personal development products and shoes all come to mind without thinking very hard. There are, of course, a lot more profitable niches than this.

The point is don't pick a niche that doesn't have an associated product or ebook that can be sold on it. You also want to be sure that there are adword advertisers for your niche.

One of the first websites I set up is about Betta Fish. It's a nice site with lots of info related to Bettas. After doing all the work and incurring the expenses involved in a website, I found out that there wasn't a lot of products that could be easily sold on the net for Betta fish. There were lots of adword advertisers though and I thought I would make some money from that at least. Wrong!

One of the ironies of setting up a good informative site is that if you do too good of a job people will stay on your site and read something that they came looking for. Then leave. This is fine if you have something to sell. I, unfortunately don't. This is when I started to think that I was providing to much info. To test this, I set up a series of free blogs on Betta fish but this time I put crap on the sites. (Yes I admit it) I still used all the right keywords so that they are optimized for the SERP's (Search Engine Results Pages) but now when traffic shows up they depart in a hurry. Usually they just close the page but a number of people click my ads. Bingo - I get more ad revenue from the crappy blogs than I do from the real website. This seems to work rather well with certain niches like pets. People are attached to their pets and when they need info they are determined to find it. The blogs are useless to them but when they see the ads, which appear to have the answers they need, it's easier to click the ad than do another Google search.

I am not saying that this is right or ethical. I am saying that people who make money with adsense use these techniques. As I have said before, no one in the business likes to admit this and they certainly don't divulge this to beginners.

Note: If you have been sucked into enough programs that promise to make you rich you start to realize that most of these programs give you just enough info to get you started but always seem to leave out the key ingredient. All the programs available that promise to show you how to make money with adsense are exactly like this. They tell you how to optimize your site, how to research keywords, how to find traffic and a few other details - everything in fact that you need to know to make money from adsense. And you will - maybe $1 a day. They don't tell you that you will need hundreds of sites to make any real money. Then again maybe they do but it's between the lines. The "lines" in this case would be the software that they flog. Stuff that generates unique content articles, programs that upload content to your sites automatically, automated forum posting, automated directory posting, automated guestbook posting, automated blog builders, automated website builders and the list goes on.

Why do you need automated software for anything? Because it's all about the numbers. To make money you need to create lots and lots of sites and you can't do this manually. Automated programs are spam programs - in the loose sense of the word. Spamming means many things and spam blogs are included in the definition.

I have received a number of emails asking me for info on these programs. I have been reluctant to tell you for a number of reasons. First, you need to know how to set up a "real" blog properly before you start duplicating it. Second I fear you will start down the spam path without knowing what your doing and spend a small fortune in the process. Thirdly, on a personal level, I have corresponded with many of you and realize that there are real people reading this and I like them, hence my conscience is weighing in on this. It's one thing to sell stuff to anonymous people who happen to find your site but it's harder when you know the people on the other end.

A few facts.

- most of the available software - while effective - requires some or a lot of knowledge about various aspects of computers, codes, operating systems, html, php, java script etc. Most beginners don't have the ability to work through this stuff and the producers of this type of software don't tell you about all the "bugs" and "fixes" needed to run the software before you buy it.

- every program I have used to date has "bugs". Most developers will issue fixes and updates as they get them but the fact is all software has bugs (Windows XP had hundreds when released) and this can't be helped as there are so many different computer setups that programmers can't take everyone in to account when building the program. They tend to build it for the most common applications .ie. Windows XP, 32 bit etc. In this instance a Mac user may have problems.

- this stuff is expensive.

- if you don't use the programs properly you will leave a spam footprint a mile wide that Google, among others, will see and at best your sites will get dropped and at worst you will be banned from adsense.

That said I will give you a list of some of the more popular software but without any links. That way I receive no affiliate fees and my conscience is clean if you pursue this avenue.

VooDoo Blogger - this program is designed to create thousands of crappy blogs. Has bugs but there is support given. This is a notorious spam program that doesn't make any bones about what it's for.

RSStoBlog - this is a legitimate program used to post content feeds automatically to your blog. Nothing wrong with this as lots of people use it to keep their sites up to date with fresh content. As with most automated software it can also be used to send content to all the spam blogs as well.

Forum Equalizer - this is simply a spamming program that lets you post messages on thousands of forums in order to leave a backlink to your site(s).

Guest Book Equalizer - same as the forum equalizer but you send posts to guest books instead. (leaving your backlink)

The following are not spamming software per se but can be used in conjunction with these other programs.

Article content generation software. There are too many to mention by name but they all do the same thing. (Google "Article Content Generation" for a list) They take articles that have already been written and change enough words and phrases to make it unique and then produce hundreds or thousands of unique variations of the same article. These can then be posted to thousands of blogs using RsstoBlog or a similar program.

I admit to using one of these programs but I only use articles that I write. This is to be certain that I don't get nailed for copyright infringement. If you don't set enough variables in the content generation program you could effectively produce an article that is only slightly different from the original and be guilty of stealing someone else's work. Be careful of this - I strongly suggest that you write your own articles. By the way there is no program that can create a readable article from scratch so beware any that advertise as such.

Article Submission Software - this allows you to automatically submit your articles to hundreds of directories. (a very time consuming process if done manually) You can Google this phrase for a list of available products. A word of caution - make sure your articles are well written before you submit them as most directories review articles before inclusion. Humans can tell if your article has been produced by spamming software and you won't get them posted.

Before spending a lot of money on this stuff I have put a link on the site to a program called "The OTO GoldMine". I came across this site in my travels and it seemed to be an ideal choice for beginners. You can join for free and make money by selling the products listed on the site with nothing more than an affiliate link. This is no different than other affiliate programs except that the product list here is as huge as any I've seen and has several very useful products. I also want to point out that they will try and sell you all these products when you sign up. The cost is $67. I mention this because a lot of the products in the list do the things I have just been describing - content generation software, blog submission et al. The price is astoundingly cheap for this kind of software that would cost hundreds of $ individually. (dam - that's sounds like a sales pitch and I don't want it to... old habits I guess)

What I am trying to say is that if you are going to invest in this stuff anyway then save yourself a lot of money and get it from this site. You can learn how to use the stuff and see if it is for you for a paltry sum in comparison to what you will spend searching for this separately. Anyway, whether you buy buy the products or not you should join for free and take advantage of the huge collection of products that you can promote on your site(s) and you only need one affiliate link. The nice thing about this is that they do all the selling - you just send them traffic and collect commissions.

This also applies to "The Ultimate Supertip" and "$7 Dollar Secrets" and the other programs I've listed before. These are ideal for beginners as they will sell faster and easier than most products. Why? They are cheap and they are easy to build a blog around. Optimize each blog as I have outlined previously using each program's name as your keyword. Write an article or two about each one and post them on your blog. Create a different set of articles for submission to the article directories like GoArticles.com and then move on to your next blog and product. Remember the more articles you submit the more backlinks you will get and the sooner you will get indexed in Google. It took me a month to get to number 1 for "project payday" and if I was selling that program I would be making money from it already from the free traffic Google is sending to my site. Is one month too long to wait? I am making money from all the sites I use to sell products and everyone of them gets free traffic and cost me nothing to produce.

Once you have enough sites up and running the money will start adding up. You may only make a few dollars at first but you will be surprised at how it will multiply in six months from now.

That's all for now!
Later Folks!

Lesson 3

LESSON 3

The point of these lessons are to enable beginners to set up and run a successful online money making venture and to do it with out spending a lot of money. Blogs have become the online marketers best friend and new secret weapon for making money. As we continue with these lessons you will find out why this is so.

At this point you should have set up a new blog at Google's blogspot.com and completed two posts on it. The first post was your welcome message and the second post was your first article on your chosen keyword (topic/niche).

As well you should have joined GoArticles.com and posted a second article in their directory. The second article should have been a re-write of your blog posting - enough changes in it to avoid the duplicate content rules of the search engines.

This lesson is fast and easy and no, you don't have to write any more articles.

Getting your new site indexed.

If you have followed my instructions your site is already optimized on-page for Google when it gets around to crawling you. There are a few things (known as off-page optimization) that we can do to speed up the process.

You'll be happy to know that you have already completed one of these techniques.

Writing Articles.

There is no better way to get your site indexed and ranked by Google than writing articles. While providing traffic to your site, articles also get you back links which gets you page ranking and ultimately a high placement in Google's search listings.

Here's a list of the most popular Article Submission Directories. The more articles and more directories you use the faster you will get ranked and indexed by Google. This is not a secret, just a well know fact that all the successful marketers know. It is very effective because 95% of would be competitors either don't like to write articles or don't want to pay for unique articles and most of them resort to duplicate content when filling up their pages. Content, I might add, that comes from the 5% of us who write the articles embedded with our back links. Your competition is one of your best allies as they are the ones sending you back links.

Technorati

Go to Technorati and create an account. Log in and "Claim your Blog". Later you will ping technorati each time you post something and they will come and crawl your site for the new content.

Technorati is the "Google" of the Blogoshpere and you want to get indexed in it's directory. The more directories and search engines that you get indexed in the better but Google, Yahoo, Msn, Technorati and Digg are all you really need and must be indexed in.

Technorati will get you traffic but you have to give the proper "Tags" (keywords) for your site. Lot's of people search technorati using tags or keywords to find articles on various subjects. The nice thing about technorati is that it gives users a list of articles based on how recent they were posted. If you are looking for posts using the tag "make money" you will get a list of articles starting with those posted a few minutes ago and working back in time. This is very important and you can generate your own traffic because of this. Note: The Labels in Blogger serve as Technorati "Tags".

How?

Let me tell you about a little traffic generating trick. This is strictly for making some quick money with adsense. If you go to technorati you will see a list of "Top Tags". This list is really just a list of what people are searching for the most at any given period of time. You are no doubt aware that Anna Nicole Smith died recently. For the last few days the top searched tag at Technorati has been her name. If you were to write an article about her and ping technorati you will get 40 - 50 people to your site about 15 minutes after posting and pinging. Here is the best part - you don't have to post a unique article. You can use other articles (as long as you provide the credit and link back to the original author). This is simply a way to make some quick adsense money and you don't care about Google indexing your site.

I'll explain this in full if I have confused you.

I mentioned back at the beginning of these lessons that you want to create a few decent blogs for ranking in the search engines. These blogs will be for the long term and eventually you can use them to sell products as well as use them for adsense revenue. I also mentioned that you will set up hundreds or thousands of "crappy" blogs. These will be used to generate back links for your good blogs but can also be used to generate adsense revenue.

This is a scenario for a crappy blog. For instance, I have a whole group of what I call "My Celebrity Blogs". When ever a celebrity does something to get themselves on the front pages of the news I quickly post articles about them and ping Technorati. I just use the headline and a few sentences of someone else's article and then include a link back to the original article if people want to read the rest of it. I will post a half dozen of these snippets on my blog. Ping technorati and then wait 15 minutes and sure enough the traffic rolls in from Technorati users looking for info on the celebrity. For this to work you must Tag your post with the celeb's name. As soon as someone searches for articles using that Tag the most recent articles are displayed for them - not the most relevant or the best written - simply the most recent. Technorati is not like Google - they don't care about your content or backlinks or anything else that Google deems important. They simply list articles in order of posting - the most recent gets top listing.

Timing.

To get the most visitors you have to time your posts. To get the largest audience of English speaking people you should post your articles between 7:00 and 9:00am, between 11:00am and 1:00pm and between 5:00 and 7:00pm all central standard time in the USA. These are the peek hours of readership in North America. You can also work out the best times in the UK and Australia as well.

If you have 10 Celeb blogs you can post the same snippets in all ten blogs. Simply post each one 15 minutes apart during these peek times. This will keep your blogs at the top of the listings for 2 hours or more during the peek readership times.

Is this ethical. Hell no. But it makes fast cash. When Mel Gibson ran into trouble my 10 little blogs got more than 10,000 hits in four days on technorati. I made just under $200.00 for my efforts. I never wrote a single article. Ethical... well that's for your own conscience. I took the money.

That's it for this lesson. Go and get acquainted with Technorati. Claim your blog and play around with TAG searches. Get to know what this directory does as they will make you some decent money once you understand how to use it. As always if you have questions just send me an email.

Lesson 2

LESSON 2

The idea of this lesson is to teach beginners the basics (solid one's) for online marketing. Many of you really want to do some money online don't know where to start. As you saw in the first lesson, the best place to start is your own blog. So, we want your blog indexed by Google fast so do this correctly and Google will start sending traffic to your site.

Ok, let's start Lesson 2

1. Indexing - This refers to the search engines. The search engines know that your site exists? Try to query the search engine using your URL address : (my URL is http://makemoney-onlineguide.blogspot.com) http://your adress.blogspot.com and if you see your site then you have been indexed but if it says that no page exists by that name then you aren't indexed.

There are lots of search engines but we are interested in the top three; Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Now go to Google and type - "how to make money online" - Google will look through all the pages it has indexed from all the sites on the Internet in order to present you with a list of the most relevant sites concerning your query.


2. Page Content.

Google likes the most unique content. You will get indexed very fast if you use original material on your blog. If you copy and paste content found elsewhere on the Internet you won't get indexed very fast and usually not at all. You can also get into copyright troubles doing this.


3. The age of a website or blog

If the site is older then it's much better for you. This is not crucial, but Google will give older sites a higher preference over new sites simply to eliminate all the spam blogs and sites that are created daily from dominating its index. This can be overcome with the proper technique.

4. Keywords

The term keyword simply refers to what your topic is. If I wanted some info on Audi Cars, I would type in "Audi Cars" on Google and it would present me with a list of sites related to Audi Cars. Google uses keywords to generate its search. If you have a website or blog that discusses Audi Cars and you have used this keyword enough times in your posts then Google will rightly assume that your website is about Audi Cars. If you only used the keyword once while talking about German Technique then Google will probably not use your site in its list for Audi Cars but may decide that your site is about German Technique instead.

Keywords are the most important for getting your site listed in the proper category. If you are starting a blog that talks about Audi Cars then you had better make sure that the search engines know what your site is about. This is done by using your prime Keywords in your page titles, post titles and a few times in your articles. but beware using your keywords too many times will get you into trouble with Google because they will see your site as a spam blog and delete you from their index. The rule is that to use your keyword 5, 6 or 7 times per 100 words. This is very important.

5. Content Volume

The better way is to produce more pages. Search engines like the content of your page. By keep adding pages to your blog or website, the search engines will crawl you regularly and your site will get listed more often when your keywords are queried.

6. Page Rank and Back Links

Page rank is associated with back links. For example, if you followed the first lesson then you have now created a blog on Googles' Blogspot.com. It is highly unlikely that Google has found your blog yet but if it has then you would be indexed for whatever topic you picked. Someone looking for your post using Google search would likely find your site listed a couple of hundred pages deep in the search listings but you want to be on the first page to get the best traffic. To get on the first page you need page rank and back links.

Let me explain this further.

Every site is ranked between 0 and 10. The higher the number the more important your site is. If your site is a 10 then I guarantee your site will be listed on the first page and no doubt in the top position. Currently the new blog you set up has a ranking of 0 (zero). Content and the age of your site will gain you some ranking over time. If you do nothing else but post unique content then you might get a ranking of 2 in a year from now, possibly sooner. A ranking of 2 will not get you much traffic. How can you speed up your ranking? Simple... get back links and get lots of them.

6.1 Back Links

What are back links? They are links placed on other websites or blogs or forums or directories that connect people to your site. In other words they are click-able links that point back at your site. The theory is that the more sites that have links pointing back at your site the more important your site must be. This makes sense. If other sites are sending traffic to your site then you must be some kind of authority for your niche or topic. As a result Google will give you a higher page rank because of your importance. With a higher page rank your site will then get listed higher in the searches.

There are some rules to this however. The back links that count must be relevant to your topic. If your site is about "Audi Cars" then links from auto forums and auto sites sites are great. If you have links from a site like mine then Google will ignore the links because my site is in no way relevant to Audi Cars.

The page rank of the sites giving you links is very important. If you get 1 hundred links from pet stores to your Audi Cars site but all the incoming links are from sites with 0 page rank then your site get a ranking of 1 or 2. If you get half a dozen links from relevant sites that have a page ranks of 5 or higher then you will end up being ranked a 4 or 5. If you can get a link from a page rank 7 or higher you will vault up the rankings quickly and the age of your site will not matter.

One last thing. You will gain more from one way links. Lots of sites that has content like yours will want to trade links with you. -They link to you and you link to them-. This is a two way link. This won't help you much but the exception would be if the other site has a high page rank.

The Google Sandbox

One of the most confusing programs they employ is the sandbox, a system that keeps your site off the search result's (you don't get indexed) for a indeterminate period of time. They did this to stop spam sites from getting indexed fast. A new site could stay in the sandbox for 6 months collecting quality backlinks and lots of unique content and still not get listed in the searches. Then one day you find Google suddenly recognizes all the back links and content and bumps your site way up the charts.

Articles :
Write an article about your Blog's subject matter and post it.

The rules

Use about 400 words.
- Keywords 24 times in the whole article.
- Keyword in the Blog Post Title.
- Keyword in the first sentence.
- Keyword in the final sentence.

IMPORTANT : Put your link (link to your site) in the link field so that the post links back to your site - Your link is http://yoursite.blogspot.com - replace "yoursite" with your sites url.
Now post your article on your Blog and after you have finished on your Blog go to GoArticles.com

Go to : Submit/Edit An Article

Fill out the info to join GoArticles.com (It's free) and then re-write your article leaving all your keywords the same but use synonyms for all the rest of the main words.

NOTE : If Google finds duplicate articles they will not index the pages that the articles are on. This way you will get your blog indexed. Write the article and put a backlink into your article that will point back to your site from whatever sites end up downloading your article and posting it as content on their sites. The sites using your article will likely not get the page indexed as Google will hit them for duplicate content. You won't have to worry because the GoArticles post is different from your Blog post. While your competition is busy not being indexed using your article you will be getting indexed because of your unique content. Your competition actually helps you by giving you backlinks while you hurt them by giving them duplicate content. Imagine there were only ten sites on the net that competed for planting flowera. Your site uses unique content and you supply the other 9 sites with duplicate content embedded with backlinks to your site. What would Google see? They would rank you at the top as the authority because all the other sites are pointing at you.

Obviously you will never get all the competition pointing to you but out of every 1 million competitors for every keyword I bet 99% use duplicate content which is how the 1% that use unique content get listed on the first few pages. Out of a million competing sites you really only have 50 to 100 real rivals, others that know what they are doing and are working on their rankings. You just have to out perform these sites to get top ranking. Stick with me and I will show you how.


Be ready because in the next days i will post LESSON 3!

That's all for now!
Later Folks!

Lesson 1

LESSON 1

Ok guys, take a big cup of cofee and start reading!
Lots of people are searching for money making business. They don't know where to start that's why i am posting this lessons. Everything you will see it's real, lot's of bloggers are making money in this way. Doing everything i tell you will make you a real blogger but not an Internet Marketeer There are several billion buyers out there and about 150,000 online marketers. There is room for every one to make money online.

If you are a beginner, you probably don't know how to go about setting up an online business that's why i am going to help you.

There are lot of questions as you see below :

1. Do i need a website? Do i have to make one myself, pay for one?
2. What i am going to put on my site?
3. How do I find a niche, a personal idea?
4. What is a niche?
5. Do i have to sell stuff? How do i do it?
6. I am going to use Google AdSense or AdWords? What is AdSense? What is AdWords?
7. What do i really need?
8. Can i generate real traffic (visitors) to my site?

9. The last and the biggest question: What's the secret behind making money?

And i am sure that the list could continue...

Everyone want to know where and how to start an online money making. The problem is that the online marketers are happy to tell you what to do but you have to buy the products that they are selling. Everyone has a different ways and guides they sell.

Let's learn the basics before you start spending money on buying the guides and tips. You dont need websites, affiliate marketing... only a good blog.

Ok... let's start with "Google AdSense" and Blogs (the best place is Blogger).

This is the best, cheapest and fastest way start making money online. You can make a blog for free. Google will put advertisements on your blog for free. You will receive commission from Google each time someone clicks an advertisement from them posted on your blog. Once you put your blog up and running you can diversify with affiliate marketing and other many methods of making online money. The blog is simple to manage. The new Blogger program that is owned by Google, is the beginners dream to set up a blog with their easy to use wizard. Once you have a blog i will teach how to get traffic to your site. A blog will teach you the basics and you can learn without spending lot of money.

I think you have seen screenshots of people who make hundreds of dollars a day from AdSense. They earn what they say but they are not telling you the whole and true story.

There are several ways to make money with Google AdSense but let's see the most common:
1.AdWords and other paid advertising to bring traffic to your AdSense sites generate AdSense clicks.

2) Getting free traffic using Search Engine Optimization and harnessing the power of multiple Blogs to generate AdSense money.


Let's see Using Adwords :

You saw lots of screen shots that show you the money they made, but they never tell you how much they are spending to earn that income. They really make $600 a day, but if they are using AdWords to generate traffic spend several hundred a day as well. This doesn't mean that they aren't making a profit because if the wont they wouldn't keep their site's up. This is done in order to make you believe that the product they are selling will help you generate profits of $600 a day. If they were completely honest they would admit that it might generate SALES of $600 a day - not PROFITS.

Now let's see Using Free Traffic :

This is what they are not telling you!

This is the best way for a beginner to start out making some cash. Build a blog on a particular topic, create good quality content for it, try to have Google index and rank your page high for your keyword (topic) and sit back as Google sends hordes of visitors to your site. Finally, count your money from all the AdSense clicks.

This is the procedure but they don't tell you that to make serious money at this you will need to create hundreds or thousands of blogs. Your main blogs will be decent pages addressing the needs of your visitors. The majority of the blogs however, will be set up to simply generate AdSense clicks. The articles will be unique but crappy and visitors that end up on these blogs will quickly leave - hopefully by clicking an ad that will take them to where they were trying to go in the first place. This is called spam blogging and as unethical as it seems, it is how you make a lot of money with AdSense. No one talks about this aspect of making AdSense profits. No one wants to admit that they use this tactic and yet this is the only way to generate a lot of money with AdSense with out spending money to get traffic.

This is also the system I recommend to all beginners. It's the cheapest way to start earning cash, it will teach you all the main aspects of Internet marketing and you can start immediately. However, you will have to decide if ethics or making money is your top priority first.

Let's begin!

We will keep this simple to start. In future posts I will explain more and more techniques as we go. For now we need to get a few blogs set up.

Go to Blogger.com and set up your account and when you have completed this step we can begin.

Before creating your blog you will have to find a topic (niche). Now let's see how to set up a blog before we worry about what kind of blog to create that will make money.

Now we will set up a new blog so you can learn how to do it.

In Blogger select Create Account.

Select a Name. Try and use your keyword in the name and the blog address.

Example : We want to call our blog "Make Money Online Guide" using the following address "http://make-money-online.blogspot.com". When I checked the availability I was told this address was already taken.

Then i try this:
"http://make-money-online--guide.blogspot.com/" and i see that this address is available and I am still able to use my keyword in the address and my title which is "Make Money Online Guide".

It is very important to use your keyword in your Blog's Title and Address. This will greatly help you when it comes to search engine rankings and indexing.

Fill in the word verification and hit continue.

UPDATE : It now appears that Blogger has a new flagging system that can catch most auto-software trying to set up multiple accounts. As you can no longer use link farms effectively this is a moot point and you should only be creating 3-4 blogs per account. Do not use the same keywords in each blog. ie. Don't create related blogs in each account. If you want ten blogs targeted to 1 niche then put each blog on a seperate account.

Now, let's choose a template. Later you can change different templates but for now just choose Minima. I discoverred that this is most professional template and easy to use. Th post you are reading is on the Minima template.

Press continue to use the Minima Template.

Next you will see a page thatwill say "Your Blog has been created".

That's it, you have a blog now!

Now, let post!
Press "Start Posting" and we will begin.

Before posting let's use the "Settings" tab and do a few changes.

Type your description. Be sure you use your keyword once or twice in your description.

As you saw my description is:
"Make Money Online Guide"

I have used my main Keyword "Make Money Online" only once but I have also used secondary keywords "Guide".

After you've entered your description go to the bottom of the page down the page and press "Save Settings".
NOTE: Don't change any of the yes/no settings. Leave them on default.

Now select the "Publishing" tab.

Select "Yes" where you see "Notify Webogs.com" and then press "Save Settings" . This option will help notify the outside world each time you post something new to your blog.

Next select "Formatting"

Change "Show" to 1 posts on the main page.

Select your Time Zone.

Ghange "Show Link Field" to Yes.

Now press "Save Settings".

Go and "Comments"

Select "Show" for Backlinks.

Select "Yes" for Pop up Window.

Select "Yes" for Word Verification.

Enter your email for comment notification (if you want to be notified each time someone posts something new on your blog)

Now "Save Settings", and leave the rest on default.

Select "Archiving"

Make sure the frequency is set to "Monthly" and the "Enable Post Pages?" is set to "Yes".

Now "Save Settings"

Select "Posting" and prepare your first post.

You will see that you have a Title Field, a Link Field, and a space (like a big box) where you will type your post.

It is very important that in each title you use you put your keyword in the Title. (very important for Search Enginges).

In the link field type in your blog address so the post links back to your blog.

My link is typed like this: http://makemoney-onlineguide.blogspot.com/ - this is my blog/home page.

Now, replace "makemoney-onlineguide" with your address.


My first post sound like this :


Hello!

We all need money but we do not know how to make them. A few months ago i've opened a Google search and i've typed "make money online". There are thousands of pages that teach you this but only few of them really help you to do that. In this blog you will find articles, lessons and lots of stuff i've found over the internet. Many people sell products on the internet, others want to chat with you for money, in a couple of words the internet provides you lots of opportunities for making easy money online. In the lessons i've posted below you will see how to make some cash using blogs. You don't have to sell anything, only make a blog and keep it up to date.

There are two types of bloggers over the internet, the one called Internet Marketeers, people that sell all types of products, selling you guides and tips for making online money, and the Free Bloggers, people like me, ones that are posting the ideas on their blog, teaching and helping other people to make easy money. Read carefully the lessons i've posted and you will see a major change in your budget.

Ok folks, let's begin!

Try to make your first post the same way and be sure that you use your keywords a couple of times and then hit "Publish".

Hit "View Blog"

You are now a Blogger.

If you want you can customize your blog. You will see that your title is a hypertext that redirects you to your site. On the right side of the page is a section called "Blog Archive" and below that is an "About Me" section.

Now, you can add and remove any section you want only by selecting "Customize" from the top right corner of your page.

Let's remove the "About Me" section and put a new section for AdSense. Leave the "Blog Archives" so visitors can easy find your previous posts.

Select "Customize"

Click edit on the "About Me" box. Select the "Remove Page Element" option to and click "Save Changes". If you want you can attach it again later.

Now, Add a Page Element. In the customization sectio press "Add a Page Element" .

You now have a screen with Page Elements listed on it.

Add AdSense to our blog. Click the AdSense "Add to Blog" button. You will get a publisher ID from Google that will enable you to use AdSense ads on your blog. Once you have this pick a Format and use the Blend Template option regarding colors. Now, open your email acount (the one you used to create the blog) and follow the instructions.

Use the 160 x 600 vertical Banner Format for the right side of you page.

Now "Save Changes" and you will see that AdSense box has been added to your right side of the page. (at the top).

"View Blog" and see the results.

Usually it takes a day or two for Google to crawl (recognize) your content and place ads on your site. At first you will see public service ads until Google finds out your keywords.

NOTE: Thw blog you are reading now was approved by AdSense in a couple of hours. You can see the add on the right side of the page.

Now wait for Google to place ads on you site and after that let's post some new lessons!
