Work at Home Blogs and SEO
Posted by tel on 21 Feb 2008 at 07:17 pm | 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!
I have many questions regarding the process of the work at home ethos as well as the problems of learning how to make money online and similar. These will I am sure work themselves out as I read more helpful blogs such as this one and those that it references and links to as well.
