Content is King

Posted by tel on 20 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: work at home

Following my last post about: Work at Home Blogs and SEO, I mentioned content and how important it is to get plenty of relevant, on-topic content onto your work at home sites and blogs in order to rank well for your chosen keywords in teh search engine SERPs.

In fact it is so important that you should not be too concerned with grammar and spelling and going over and wasting valuable work at home opportunities by proof reading and correcting and re-correcting everything you write. The fact of teh matter is, you want to make money from your site, and that means you need to attract organic search traffic and the only way to do that is to rank high in the SERPs period.

So satisfying the perfectionist needs of a whole bunch of social traffic readers by crossing every “t” and dotting every “i” might be highly commendable and earn you the respect of the writing fraternity, but it won’t make you any bloody money!

So you have to toss a coin and decide which it is, because it is a choice between the two and never the twain shall meet.

You can’t have a great reader base and feed subscriber base running into the hundreds or even thousands if they are all savvy marketers themselves, because guess what? They ain’t gonna click your ads and when people who visit your site don’t click your ads you do not make money. So you might work at home spending long hours on your literary masterpieces but you’re going hungry!

Ok, maybe you’re not starving if you have income from otehr sources and writing online is just a hobby. In that case, you should do teh best you can and get those readers and feed subscribers, because its a great hobby7 to have and you’ll make lots of friends online.

But if your main goal is to make money fast while you work at home, then you need a different approach. You need to NOT attract other marketers to yoru site, NOT procure a huge feed subscriber base and NOT write well!

By writing a little off colour and not quite providing all the information you could do but still writing a whole lot of stuff that is highly relevant to your niche and has a good percentage of your keywords within the text, but not so much that it becomes keyword stuffinmg, you satisfy the serach engines need for lots of fresh, new, original content which will help your site or blog up teh SERPs ladder in order to attr5act organic search traffic.

Why?

Organic search traffic WILL click on your ads and ergo make money fast for your work at home opportunity site. If that makes sense to you (and it should) then at least this post will not have you shaking your head and going away thinking “That bloke just wrote a bunch of crap and I wasted my time reading it.” Because you didn’t waste your time as the moral of ths story is highly useful to you if your goal is to make money online while you work at home.

That’s all for now, more later,

Hasta pronto chicos…

Work at Home Blogs and SEO

Posted by tel on 21 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: SEO

Following on from that rather tongue in cheek post Can I Work at Home for Mony, where I exploited a quick indexing trick in order to get into Google’s index I have to report now that doesn’t work any more.

It looks like the people at Google were watching Vic’s and Griz’s blogs and saw them telling everyone how to use it and then got the ass and slammed that door! Oh well, bollocks it was a bloody useful tool and now its gone.

So what else have we got to SEO our way into the index and then claw our way up teh coveted SERPs onto the front page in order to attract some of that make money fast organic traffic that we need to make in order to work at home?

Well, it looks like we’re just gonna have to go back to basics. Yep, the hard slog – writing content, articles for submissions to article directories, directory submissions to get link backs and all that shit. Well just because you want to sit on your lazy ass and not go out to do a nine to five job, doesn’t mean you don’t have to work at home hard for it.

So in order to exploit those make money keywords, its a case of doing the leg-work and getting the back-links, getting the keyword authority, getting whatever you have to do to get up high in the SERPs for your keyword.

Now that doesn’t mean you have to rank for only one keyword. Now in actual fact, to aim for that would be silly especially if you are targeting a highly competitive niche. Better to find lots of long tail keywords that are all related to that niche and target them all.

That way you stand at least a snowball’s chance in hell of getting somewhere, bit by bit. You get to rank high for one long tail keyword, then another and another until eventually your main keyword presence risies along with them.

Ok, that’s all for this post. As you may be able to guess, I’m concetrating on getting content into this work at home blog more than anything else so I can start ranking for some of my long tails as well as provide the search engines with lots of relevant content to this crap make money, or work at home niche.

Why do I call it a crap niche?

Because despite it being called make money, that is something you will most likely NOT make in it!

Hasta luego!
