Article 8 - How To Make Money Blogging From Home... 1st July 2011

I was on Reddit.com last night just reading through some articles that were very interesting and I actually learned something very important which not only showed you "How To Make Money Online From Blogging" but also showed you to drive great numbers of traffic to your site using keywords and keyword placement. It was for beginner and intermediate bloggers who have built their blogs and website but have not constructively thought about keyword tools and keyword placement. Placement strategies will not make a significant difference to traffice volumes immediately but it will over a period of 6 months if you use placement strategies in every article.

The title was "how To Make Money Blogging From Home" on Reddit.com, you should take a few minutes to read it, I will post a link below.

The techinques used can be broke down to 3 main areas which are essential to your Search Engine Rankings.

1.Keywords Tool

2.Keyword Placement

3.Leverage



I'll start with top of the above list... KEYWORD TOOL.

I personally use Google Keyword Tool heres the link:

All you have to do is... Input words that you think people would have to search to find your blog, for example, I think people would have to input something along the lines of "how to make money online from blogging", so I input how to make money online from blogging in the keywords tool and click search, then Google incredibly shows you the amount of searches for certain keywords that are relevant to your blog or site. You then look through the list and evaluate the following things: Competition levels, Amount of Searches.

Competition Levels are the amount of other bloggers and sites that are using that option in the keyword placement therefore you want to find a keyword/phrase that is relevant to you article/blog/site with less competition.

After you have found the option that is relevant to your keyword/phrase, you have to evaluate the amount of searches that have been submitted.

Then you simply find an option which features your keywords/phrase with the lowest competition levels and highest search submits. In short LOW COMPETITION AND HIGH SEARCH SUBMISSIONS.

Secondly, we have Leverage. Most of us know about leverage in betting and the stock market. This can be something that can be scary to beginners but it is quite easy to understand.

Leverage means getting the more or bigger results for little or less work.
Services are available like the platform mentioned earlier in this article is Reddit.com more common ones are Digg, MoreShare, Ezine Articles and Ping.

Signing up to these services and platforms enables you to "ping" snippets or parts of your articles which linkback to your blog all over the net and attract the attention of the search engine trawling system.

So the leverage here would be writing one article and publishing it one your blog/site and submitting it to Ezine Articles and you reach thousands of traffic due to linkbacks to your blog.

Another one that nobody really takes advantage of is Twitter..

Now you may already have a twitter page but this is what I do..

I work 2 hours a day over 5 days on my blogs/sites and during this time I keep Twitter open in a seperate tab and follow atleast 30 people everyday that I do not know and simply keep posting updates from my blog on Twitter by inputting my my URL and a quick relevant snippet of whats in my article.
Its Great!!

I gain about 100 views aday from Twitter!

I hope this little bit of advice on "how to make money blogging from home"

Sorry about not posting any articles yesterday as I was away for the night with my Fiancee.
