Make Money With Top Search Engine Rankings

Its no secret that Google gets most of the traffic on the internet,followed
closely by Yahoo and MSN back in third place.So if we're going to beat the
next guy at getting some free search engine traffic what is required and
where would you start?

Well first of all you have to realise that you aren't likely to rank at the
top of most keywords overnight,infact it can take months of hard work to
rank for high traffic keywords so the key here is to start with keywords you
can target that don't have a lot of competition.This makes your job 50%
easier before you even load a page to the internet.

Next lets look at the specific engines,google takes the longest to rank for
out of the top 3 so I like to look closely at MSN search because my
experience tells me that even though they dont get anywhere the same amount
of traffic I can rank higher and faster here.So my first port of call is to
do keyword research specifically with MSN in mind.I use a few tools here but
by far the easiest way to do this is to use the free keyword reseach tool at
digitalpoint.com .Here you can check keyword patterns and traffic patterns
for your desired keywords to see how many searches are performed in the
major engines,and also to find spin off keywords you probably would'nt have
considered before.You can also check both Overture and Wordtrackers results
against each other here to get a feel for how the traffic patterns are going
to be for a top rank with your selected keyword.

A rule of thumb I use for MSN is that the traffic for any keyword I search
in digital points tool is divided by approx
3-4 to give me an idea of the traffic in MSN.So if my desired keyword had
1000 searches per day according to both Wordtracker and Overture then I can
confidently say a number 1 rank in MSN should provide about 300
searches.This doesnt mesn you will get 300 hits ,in fact you may only get
about half the searchers hit your site through MSN or any search engines for
that matter even if you rank # 1.

So now I can confidently say a top rank for that keyword will provide approx
150 hits or visitors per day.So now we have chosen a keyword that looks good
whats next?

Check out the competition on MSN.Theres no point choosing words that you
realistically will never rank for .The competition pays big money to be at
the top so unless you have the same budget stay away from that game.Those so
called gurus of the internet will squash you .My reccommendation is to rank
for terms that have less traffic and thats easier to get to #1,especially in
MSN.

So what am I looking for when it it comes to my competition ?
well we all know that relevant ,theme related inbound, 1 way links from
authority sites are the easiest way to rank # 1 or top 10.

In fact it doesnt take too many high quality inbound links to rank for
thousands upon thousands of terms.So here is where the fun begins,After you
have uploaded your site and optimised the page with all the relevant html
tags etc then gathering links to your page is the single most important task
you can undertake to rank.I am not an authority on link gathering but here
are a few suggestions.

Write high quality articles about your chosen subject or pay someone to
write articles ,then submit them to the free article directories,here your
article will be picked up by other webmasters and placed on their site with
your link on them,This can create many many 1 way links very quickly for
your page.

Approach other webmasters in your chosen topic and request link exchange(I
personally dont do this as its boring and outdated and honestly is very time
consuming)

Use social bookmark sites like del.ici.us to get your content out there and
also to get you links from your tags.The search engines love social bookmark
sites,I use about 25 of them and they always provide high quality 1 way
links,and often with very high PR.

Write a blog about your site and link to it then feed that blog using rss or
other syndication methods.this can also provide 1 way links and better
results in the search engines.

Buy links. Yes buy them , a few high quality , related links with good
Google Page Rank will help massively.

These few ideas I use every day and many more to get traffic and beat the
next guy in the engines, especially MSN.

So there you have it a few small ideas to get you moving so go forth and
"make money".

So the only thing left to do after you have achieved a top rank for a number
of keyword terms is to make money from them and here are my top two ideas
for making money that I use everyday.

1) Google adsense, Sign up free and place the ad code on your page and you
will earn a share of each and every click visitors make from those ad
blocks.

There are dozens of other places you can earn on a "pay per click " basis
but Google stands out head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion.

2) Affiliate marketing, If your site or page is about losing weight, then
sign up free as an affiliate to any one of hundreds of sites that sell these
type of products .Then place a link on your page which has your personal
code embedded into it and if a visitor clicks on your link and decides to
buy then you will recieve a share of that sale.Sometimes as high 70% of that
sale.

So there you have it,now go out there and make some money online, because if
you dont I will do it for you.
