Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of designing and tuning your website to maximize your findability and improve your rankings in organic (non-paid) search engine results. To maximize traffic, you need to take into consideration how search engines work when you design your website.
There are two ways of employing SEO.
The first, white hat SEO, refers to methods that are approved by search engines, do not attempt to deceive the search engines, and produce quality, long-term results. Top white hat techniques for SEO includes: offering quality content, using proper metadata and effective keywords, and having inbound links from relevant high-quality pages.
Black hat methods are used to deceive search engines. Although they may result in temporary improvement in search engines results, these tactics could get your site banned by the search engines.
Link Building
Link building is the process of increasing search engine rankings and traffic by generating inbound links to a particular website. Search engine algorithms regard each link as a vote for the destination website’s content, so sites with the greatest link popularity (or number of high-quality inbound links) appear highest on search engine result pages (SERPs).
The three most practiced methods of building links include reciprocal linking, link baiting, and natural linking.
Reciprocal linking is an exchange in which two related websites link to each other, increasing the link popularity of both sites and adding value for site users.
Link baiting involves creating attention-grabbing web content specifically for viral (exponentially increasing) exposure through social media and social bookmarking websites.
Natural linking is the process of building one-way inbound links by optimizing website content and user experience without the explicit solicitation of a backlink.
Search algorithms are continuously updated to prevent black hat SEOs from deceiving search engines with automated linking software and links from directories or other low-quality websites. One-way links from websites with strong, related pages are given greater weight than reciprocal links, links from sites with unrelated content or links from sites with low PageRank.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the method of promoting your website to increase traffic and search results by raising the site’s visibility on search engine results pages.
There are several methods and I will start with writing articles.
The best way to get free traffic is to write articles and stick them on EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, Searchwarp.com or any of the other article publication sites. Why did I mention those three first? The reason is simple.
Google has love for some sites, and Google is absolutely in love with those three, which are all article directory sites, one more reason is because you get to include a link to your website at the bottom of your article. The gurus and the article writing books tell you to write articles so you can get backlinks to your own site, which boosts your PR (page rank) PR = How important Google thinks a site is, also they tell you that your article might get picked up by another site owner with high traffic or an ezine publisher.
Which is all true!
You might get traffic if someone reading your article clicks your link to see what your website is all about. Another reason is that the articles can be republished and used on other websites which will give you both traffic and a link pointing back to your website.
The more people who put your article on their website means more backlinks to you, the more backlinks you have the higher your PR will be, the higher your PR the higher your website will rank on the search engines and if you make it to page one on Google you will have the traffic you were wishing for all for free.
Why am I talking about Google? Google is by far the most used search engine. It provides search results not only on its home page, but powers other search engines results as well.
You constantly hear that you can make a bunch of money off of the internet. But you still are wondering how? Like me, you have probably spent a good amount of money pursuing this goal, but the returns of the investment of money is not what you expect, in fact every time you try something new, instead of win, it goes exactly the opposite.
When I started back in 2004 everything was just fine, I was full time employed, working my regular 9 – 5 job, Monday through Friday, one website after another promised me that if I bought their program and followed their instructions the money would start rolling in. But it was not easy, as they claimed to be.
When I bought the first program, it turns out to be a complete scam, I still remember I had to transfer the money through western union, I didn’t even know why I had to use that service, but I did, my mistake, so NEVER use western union to complete transactions concerning the delivery of a program promising you to make money online.
Well not being the type of loser who gives up quickly I decided that I just had to start all over and with no money at this point, I started to look for free money making sites, they do exists and surprisely they do work, but you won’t get rich. I was making like about 5 dollars a month with each of those sites, at that time I had like 10 of those sites, so my monthly earnings were like 50 bucks a month. Enough to pay mi internet services.
After a while I got a part time job besides my full time, so I forgot about those sites because I didn’t have time to work with those sites anymore, I started to cancel the membership with those sites one by one. I wasn’t quitting though, this had become a challenge for me and I was bound and determined to prove that I could make money online somehow, I had it tested and it worked. It seemed that I just hadn't spent enough time looking for the correct way. I set out to change this. But first I needed to put some money back in my savings account again.
When I went back to my plan, this time I started with clickbank, I bought an e-book that I don’t remember what the name was, but it was google adwords related, this was suppose to make me thousands of dollars a month with clickbank affiliate program, but the only thing that this left me was a big bill from google adwords, I never sold anything.
My plan is to give you all of my knowledge so you can make money online, but without spending yours of course, in my next post I will show you how to get traffic for free.
For now if you need a quick cash you can check Project Payday.
In my unending search to make good money on the Internet fast, I came across Project Payday a system program that I hadn't tried before, I did not even know what it was.
I found Project Payday while I was in Yuwie, a social network that pays to socialize, I saw it as an add to boost your yuwie earnings, when I clicked it turns out to be nothing related to yuwie, but Project Payday. I just could not resist to read it because it was money making related, so I just had to see what the angle was?
So with that in mind, I was there reading a sales page from someone called Monika St. John, Co-Founder of Project Payday - Realistic Extra Income for the Average Joe, at the first page it doesn’t say what is this about, so I clicked for More Details, Proof & Testimonials. I must admit that I didn't have a clue what Project Payday was about, so I just had to read on. It turns out that Project Payday refers to the whole thing of Getting an ipod for free/Get a Free Gift, and most of this sites pays you cash right in to your paypal account.
I had run across this from time to time but had never bothered to find out the nuts and bolts of the gimmick. You have all no doubt seen a get a free ipod advertisement, or a get paid to take surveys blurb, or even get paid to shop advertisement. You know the spiel, sign up for a free or small fee promotion and you will receive a brand new ipod, Nintendo wii, laptop or whatever.
The promo you have to sign up for is usually something like Netflix or book store or Columbia House CD's. The gist of it is that the website giving away the free Nintendo wii, gets paid for each person it refers to the vendor, let’s say Columbia House pays the website for getting you to fill out the promo offer. It turns out that this isn't a scam as you might first think, I know I did. The website actually gives away free Nintendo wii, the catch is that to get the Nintendo wii, you have to refer 5 or 10 friends to sign up for the new Columbia House promo (or whatever they choose) as well.
The website gets let’s say $50, every time they refer someone. They make you refer 5 people to get your free Nintendo wii. The website makes $250 and gives you a Nintendo wii that they bought for $150. Everyone wins, Columbia House gets 5 new people to bombard with CD's, the website makes a $100 profit and you get a brand new Nintendo wii. Most of the sites offer cash prize if you wish.The problem of course is that you have no intention of bothering 5 friends and asking them to sign up for a promotion. Nice deal for the website, and explains why you see so many sites offering free Nintendo wii or ipods.(ipods are very famous nowadays)
So, I'm sure you are asking, how does a person make money off of all this. I am ashamed to admit that I never saw the money making angle to it until I read how in Project Payday. It turns out that there is a very lucrative little industry here.
Here's how it works:
There is a whole network of forums dedicated to people who buy and sell referrals for these free digital cameras, ipods, cash, TV's, and just about anything you can think of. If you sign up to one of these forums you will find that someone is willing to pay you $25 if you will sign up for some promo as their referral. Too good to be true? Let me explain things in detail.
Let’s say I find a website offering $600, to anyone who signs up for whatever offer I decide to get and I get 8 friends to sign up as well. Normally I would love to get the $600 but I know that I will never get 8 friends to join as well. This is where the forums come in. I sign up for the site and then post an ad on the forum that says that I am willing to pay 8 people $40 each if they will go to the website using my referral ID and sign up for the offer. You do the math... I pay out $320 and collect $600 from the website. In case you are wondering, I do get the money because the website was paid more from the advertiser company for the 9 referrals. And with new members the advertiser will get their money back shortly after.
You can make money using this system a few different ways. You can get paid by people by simply signing up to promotions as a referral. All money is exchanged thru PayPal and is paid instantly. All transactions are carried out on the forums so anyone not playing fair is immediately targeted and his or her career is cut short. Each buyer and seller is rated by the people they have done business with, much like eBay or Amazon, so you have a good idea of who you are dealing with before any transactions take place.
What's the downside? The only thing I don't like about this system is that I have to sign up for all these promos in order to get paid by others for my referral. Some sign ups are free and are not a problem. Most however require you to give them a credit card and after your initial 1 month free trial you will be charged a monthly fee. Think of Columbia House, you give them your credit card and they charge you a first month fee of 49 cents and send you 12 cd's. You get $25 from someone on the forum for being his referral. Good deal so far - you get $25 and pay out 49 cents. The problem is that if you don't cancel your Columbia House membership at the end of the trial period you will suddenly find yourself paying back your $25 for CD's you don't want.
This problem is not insurmountable but it does mean that this program will require work on your part. You will have to keep lists organized and remember to cancel all the promos you sign up for. None of this is hard but it is a pain in the butt. There are more angles to this whole enterprise but this gives you a rough idea of what it is all about.
If you are interested in learning more and want to pursue this then I encourage you to get Project Payday. It cost me $34.95 bucks but was worth it as it lays out the entire strategy for you in a simple, step by step format. More importantly it has access to all the specialized forums and websites involved in this. Keep in mind that you can do this without Project Payday but it will take you a great deal of time finding all the resources and forums. As usual I couldn't be bothered doing all that work and spent the $34.95. However now you can get your membership for free by filling in 1 offer in exchange.
How well does it work. Not bad if you need some extra cash, but it would take a great deal of time and energy to make a lot of money from this. I spent 2 - 3 hours at it for the first few days. Basically I agreed to be a referral for others and was paid to sign up for a bunch of promos. I did 4 and made $100 the first day before subtracting the $6 it cost me on my credit card for signing up for the promos.
I now have to remember to cancel all these promos before the trial periods end (a pain). I like strategy two a lot better. I have only done this once so far but it worked out well and it made more money for the time and effort expended. A website offered $600 in cash to my PayPal account if I referred 8 people to its promotions. I offered 8 people $40 each to sign up and had my $600 before the day was done. This did blow me away as I don't remember ever almost doubling my money that fast on anything before.
Not bad, but not get rich stuff either. The thing is, this program is more suited to stay at home moms and dads, and others who have time on their hands. Sure, you are the boss but you will have to put in work to make money. It is nice in the sense that if you need a certain amount of money in a hurry you can simply log in for a day of work and make it.
Having tested it myself I can confirm that it does work. This is ideal for someone who wants to make a decent amount of money working from home. For this reason I think it is only fair that if you want to try this for yourself you should join Project Payday and pay for the service, or complete 1 offer.
Like I said you can do most of this on your own but it will take you a while to get up to steam. I would just join and get your money back using the system.

Project Payday is for all of you who are asking if there are any legit online programs that you can use to make some quick money. This is a legit system I have found so far that lets you earn a decent income quickly online.
Project Payday is not a get rich quick scheme, it is more like a work at home job. You won't need a blog or website as it involves getting paid to try out trial offers from online advertisers. You get paid by others for filling out the trials. There is work to this but you can realistically earn a couple of hundred dollars a day if you want to put in the effort.
Project Payday is just such a money maker. It is not available to everyone. You can make a couple of hundred dollars a day if you work hard enough. The average payment is about $25 per offer. You will incur small costs for some offers - $0.99-$1.99 but are paid considerably more. In most cases you will need a credit card. You will have to keep records of all your offers and be sure to cancel them before they become a monthly fee, for example you take the trial but cancel before regular billing takes place.
This system is widely known as IFW’s or incentivized freebie websites. Project Payday is only available to American and Canadian residents at this time. Is it free? You could say so, Project Payday offers free membership in exchange for filling out an offer.
