How to Increase Your Google Ranking in 9 Steps

Finding ways to increase your traffic ranking to make money online can often be quite the daunting task for adults, let alone teens. Many people struggle and spend countless hours wasted with little to no results. Don't give up too fast though, there are many guides and tips out there that can help you in your journey to rank higher on those pesky search engines. 

In this quick guide I am about to present to you, you will find some basic, yet incredibly useful tips that you will greatly benefit from.

1.) Have a targeted domain name
Having a good domain name will not only add to your websites credibility, but if it has a popular keyword in it, then chances are that google bots will pick it up and you will index faster and to the top pages.

2.) Include Keywords in the Title of Articles
As long as you are writing for search engines then putting relevant keywords in your article titles will be very useful. Just make sure that you make your titles are catchy and something that a person would be willing to click on. 

3.)Write Your Keywords in Bold/Italics
While I personally do not use this method, I have seen a lot of websites with this tactic implemented and apparently the results are staggering. It is usually most beneficial to include this syntax in the first paragraph of a post when people just begin to read it. Just make sure you don't go overboard and bold a keyword every time you use it.

4.) Write High Quality Content
I cannot stress enough the importance of writing unique, well-crafted content. If you want to increase your page rank then you need to write impressive material that people want to share and read.

5.) Keep Updating
Google and other search engines like websites that are updated regularly and have interesting content. So don't be expecting to write one article, come back a year later and be on the first page of google for your niche. Aim to write at least one article a week.

6.) Participate in Forums and Other Blogs
Backlinks! Backlinks! Backlinks! I have mentioned this in several of my other posts but I want to make a note again of the importance of backlinks. Google loves forums and blogs with a high PR and there are many out there that are do-follow and allow you to leave your website as a backlink in the comments section. Just make sure you leave informational comments and don't spam. Heres a few great blogs that you can get started on:

• www.comluv.com
• www.blondish.net
• www.bluehatseo.com
• www.selberg.org

7.) Create Multiple Pages
By having more than one page on your website/blog, this will strengthen your internal ranking and google will rank you higher.

8.) Social Bookmarking
It seems like every month the newest social media hit is coming out. Instead of looking past these opportunities use them for your benefit. Not only will you receive direct traffic from these websites, but you will also receive a high quality back link. Heres a list of the most popular ones:

• Facebook
• Google+
• Digg
• Squidoo
• Hub Pages
• Stumble Upon

9.) Target Niche Keywords with Low Competition

I can tell you right now that unless you are a killer writer and know how to use SEO like a professional then you wont be making it to the first page of google for the keyword "money" anytime soon. If you haven't already, check Google Adwords to see how popular certain keywords are. 

There you have it, chances are you aren't a big company with paid professionals to do the dirty work for you. However, if you work at it, spend some time each week developing your website and its' keywords, then you will be on the first page of google before you know it. Having a high ranking website when you're trying to make money online as a teen can be the difference between succeeding and wasting your time. Good luck!

How You Can Make Money Online Without any Money

However, it is often difficult to separate the scams that are available from the opportunities that are the real deal. With that being said, I am about to present a list to you which you can use to begin and use as a supplement to your efforts in making money online.

Still one of the top opportunities for teens to make money online are paid online surveys.

Also, in my previous posts I have taught you all you need to know in regards to using referrals to make even more money on paid online survey sites. You do not need to spend anything when filling out these surveys so everything you make is pure profit.

Blogging

At websites like Google Blogger you do not need any money to create a blog, the domain and hosting are completely free. By using Blogger or Wordpress, you can make beautiful blogs or websites and use advertising platforms like Google Adsense to display ads on your website to make money off of. I have found that if you are passionate about something, like sports or video games then you can make a killer blogging. Just write unique, informational posts using good keywords and google will love you. Spend around 80% of your time getting backlinks and using SEO and 20% of your time writing exceptional posts. If you stick with it you will find yourself making upwards of $500 a month, and usually more if you have a good niche, a fantastic way to make money without money.

ClickBank

Check out my previous post on ClickBank and how you can maximize your profits. Although affiliate marketing can be difficult at times, if you have a good niche and an even better system you can practically quit your day job. There are stories of people making hundreds of thousands of dollars a  year so making a few hundred a month is definitely plausible.

Reviewing Services and Products

Usually when you go to buy something online, you find yourself looking up product reviews to ensure that you are spending your money wisely. Don't be surprised, but you can actually make money reviewing many common products online. These reviews require no degree in writing, just be honest and straightforward when reviewing products or services for consumers. Here are 2 websites to get you started.
SharedReviews.com- Signup required, how much you make is dependent upon how much traffic and views you get to your content. The higher your rank is, the more you will be making.
viewStream.com- No signup required, will earn $2.00 per review/$0.10 per vote each time a reader votes on your review.

Write

Many websites nowadays pay for your articles or blog posts. Yahoo Voices will  "pay for performance" based on page views on just about any content you can think about. Passionate about the latest technology? Make an informative/unique post on the latest Macbook and you could be well on your way to earning some solid cash by writing articles. Yahoo Voices will pay you $3-$20 per article so there is definitely some room to make some money as long as your post contains solid formatting and spelling/grammar.

There you have it. If you use the above methods you can easily make a hefty profit online without using any of your hard earned money. Just stick with it and give it an honest effort and you will find yourself making money after the first day.

Good luck!

Make $100 a Day With Clickbank For Beginners

I'm sure most of you have heard about the affiliate marketing program that is Clickbank. If not, I'll give you a brief explanation. Clickbank is a third party vendor in which you can have have people (like you or I) promote your products you are trying to sell, or you can promote other peoples products and receive a commission in the process. It's a great way to make a lot of money online in your spare time, but only if you know what you're doing.

Now as a beginner I can guarantee that you will have a lack of success when you first begin promoting these products, however do not fear, I am about to present to you a sure fire way to begin making $100+ a day.

First go to www.clickbank.com and sign up.

After clicking sign up you will be prompted to select if "You need to build a following" or "I have an established audience." Regardless of what you pick you will be able to use the method that I am about to present to you. After you are fully signed up click on "marketplace" in the top right corner.

Once in the marketplace you can search for just about any products you think you would be good at selling. As a teen trying to make money online, some good ideas may be video games, or anything sports related. For this example I will search "weight loss" and see what comes up.

The Fat Loss Factor: Guaranteed Highest Converting Front End On CB. I can tell that this will be a great program to promote because after visiting the website it looks 100% legitimate and I also read some reviews and people swear by it. Also, another hint I can give you is to look at the "Grav" listed. Anything about 10.0 is generally a solid product to promote. As you can see, this product has a 310.18 gravity which is extremely good. After I've decided that this is a good product, I will click promote and receive my affiliate link which people click on to allow me to receive a referral from them.

The next part I'm about to share with you is how you will get people to click on your link and really make your money. Find 3-5 products with high gravity that have good reviews. Once you do, create a blog and do reviews for the 3-5 products. I usually find rip different reviews from different websites and just word them differently. Generally, a .com domain will work better than a free platform, because it ranks better, so I suggest you look into that. Make sure at the end of each post to make a comment like "Try The Fat Loss Factor Today!" and link that with your affiliate link. After you have established an attractive blog with great reviews its time to do some SEO for your website. 

Once you have your blog, set up google alerts for your keywords at www.google.com/alerts.

[product name]- For each different product you have reviewed

[your niche]

[competitor products]

[anything else thats relevant]

Check your alerts regularly and if you've pick a niche that is popular enough you should be getting around 100 alerts a day. The purpose of using these alerts is that whenever a new blog post/forum post/PR/etc. comes out, you will be around the first people to comment on it. In the comments provide a useful comment, something along the lines of "great post! I really enjoyed your point on..... and tend to agree with you" blah blah blah. Make it a genuine comment and not spammy, then link your review website as your name (whatever your blog is called, in my case I usually make my name "John @ Lose Weight Today") People wont take spam comments serious and they almost always get deleted. 

The goal in this method is that you will receive short term traffic from the comments, and once the posts begin to rank, they will be back linked and eventually long term traffic will come.

Rinse and repeat, and thats it! By using this method you should easily be able to make around $100 a day and even more. Just find a great product to promote and create an attractive/useful blog and you will be golden. If you find that you aren't getting enough hits for one product, switch it up and try something new to promote. You can of course add on to this method, but this is a basic method that is a sure fire way to make money online as a teen. Good luck everyone!
