Making Money Online - Simple Tips For SEO

So you've set up a blog or website, you've filled it with content and now you want to start attracting visitors. Because, let's face it, no matter how interesting your content is, if there isn't anyone to read it then you are not going to make any money. For your site to be successful you need to offer attractive information to draw in readers, but this isn't the only factor. The fact is, you could have fascinating content and yet see no visitors.

To get traffic flowing to your site, you have to think about how visitors find their way to your site. Where do you go when they need to find information? The answer is to search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. So, to get these people to visit your site, it needs to rank highly on search results pages. When these people search for information through the search engines and see your site among the top results, they will naturally click the result and visit your site!

The art of giving your blog or website a high ranking position on search result page is called search engine optimization (SEO). It's quite a hard subject to master, but that doesn't mean there aren't simple but effective methods out there to allow your site to reach a decent page rank in the search results for particular keywords. The more complicated SEO methods are usually needed to fight for very competitive and general keywords such as "weight loss", "mp3",etc.

First, you have to look closely at the title you have chosen for your site. Since you are looking to optimize for a particular niche, you need to have a relevant phrase in your blog title. For example, a line like "The Latest Pet Fashion News Blog!" would work well for a blog on pet's fashion.

Other than that, your page heading should also contain the term you are trying to optimize for at least once. The header is the bit of text in your code that is enclosed with the tags

"<h1>" and "< /h1>". This is very important as its used by search engines to determine your site's content.

You should also try to include words specifically linked to your niche in your posts whenever possible. The frequent occurrence of that phrase in your blog will increase the chance of a search engine determining your site is relevant to that topic.

One final note, remember to always bare in mind that you're writing for people who visit looking for information, so having too many keywords will put off readers. In fact, spamming a page with keywords can also be detrimental to your page ranking with search engines, so consider this when writing content.
