From my own experience, I'd wait until you are established and seeing some traffic and rankings. I didn't monetize my very first site until it had substantial traffic and pages. It ended up being the best money-maker of all. It took patience to wait that long, but it was worth it. Another site...
No offense, but this sentence screamed out at me:
Strategies that strive to get you ranking quickly can be dangerous to a site. They usually involve using a lot of backlinks to drive pages up the SERPs. Algorithms have been devised to detect search engine manipulation, so those backlinking...
Just a word of advice going forward. With Penguin, one's link profiles are under much more scrutiny than in the past. It is important to diversify your linking strategy. This situation may not affect you adversely, but to be on the safe side in the future, try to get links using other methods so...
There are ways to overcome the obstacles Google puts in our roads.
Earning income via Google was/is an "easy" way to go about it. But Google hot on the trail of tricks and games, so the days of fast, easy money are fading.
Best to have a high-quality site that offers visitors useful...
Article spinners are part of the reason for the Panda algorithm. Wiping out low quality junk caused article marketing (previously abused) to become a losing proposition.
Whatever the reasons for using article spinners, there aren't many good ones. It's risky.
The down and dirty, fast ways...
This is a very valid technique. Low competition keywords are often the stepping stone to ranking for tougher keywords. The trick is to write enough pages well, and please human visitors.
You are right. Keyword research is very important. But even more important is high quality content and pleasing human visitors. When you do these things, search engines notice how visitors react to your content and it helps you rank and get more traffic.
Aside from Adsense, Amazon and...
I completely agree. With e-business building, persistence is a key factor. Many times, people expect too much too fast and give up. Getting over the hump is solved by keeping on and a lot of people don't realize that.
I love the title and the use of the word "seducing." It's quite true, actually.
I would like to add that helping your visitor is a powerful aphrodisiac for Google.
Great content + happy visitors = Google love!
Have a great day!
Hi
In my opinion, the best way to get started with affiliate marketing is to start a website based on a topic you have a passion for. Of course, this passion should have some commercial value and you should research monetization ideas ahead of time, to make sure they are feasible. Then...
My first thought was relevance. It's easier to get a site to rank when it's relevant. So however you go about doing that . . .
Then, so many things I agree with on this thread -
and
and many other comments.
Who knows what will change, but I do think relevance will remain as a factor. It...
Minstrel is absolutely right. It takes time to build up a web presence.
FYI: You're better off in the long run to create high quality/original content that pleases human visitors than focusing on the search engines and how they operate, really. They will index you in good time, provided your...
Anything that is too easy or can be abused will eventually backfire. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday Google will alter their algorithm to penalize it. So unless someone really likes being tossed about in the search engines, it's best to build your ebusiness on solid ground. Hard...
You don't want to allow spam or low quality content on your site. Google's algorithms are sensitive to such practices and it could lead to a penalty. Do not allow people to spam your site, including link spam. It's a big no-no now.
It will get worse as you grow, but it's important to keep...
Getting hit with a penalty is hard. Some tactics may seem okay or harmless at the time. I once had my PageRank removed. I was mystified by it, because I could see anything I did, and didn't do anything knowingly to cause it.
It went on for months. Then I find an error on one of my pages and...
While one may not be banned for bad backlinks, it can still crash a site.
If rankings are hinging upon lots and lots of links created by spun articles and the sites where the articles are posted get hit by an algorithm shift, then the sites link to will experience a free fall.
Bad news...
If you plan your site correctly, one site can take you a long, long, long ways. It is a lot of work to get a site built out and producing. Having multiple sites can be a severe detriment to that. Best to keep on track with one and discipline yourself to overcome obstacles, etc. Otherwise you...
I could not agree more.
It's not easy to do, but it is nevertheless, true. When negativity sets in, finding just one thing to change the mindset is a start. How we think is a huge factor in how we do.
Hi
I don't use squeeze pages. I offer an ezine that allows people to get supplemental information than what is offered on my site. They can stay connected and get further insights into my topic. My ezine then continues to warm up prospects until they are willing to buy. Because I am...
