press and make a blog hoping that it will bring them in referrals. 3 days later they may check back to see if they got any only to see that no one signed up under them. What went wrong?
99% of teens who join paid survey sites quit after they don't make enough money. So if you are a lazy person who does not want to work to make hunderds of dollars a month on survey sites, then this post is not for you. Gathering referrals takes a lot of time and effort so get ready to work. Paid Online Surveys For Money says that 80% of your time should be spent getting anchored backlinks to your blog while 20% should be spent creating content. The key to getting referrals is backlinks. You want your blog or site to come up on search engines in as many keywords as possible. What exactly is an anchored backlink? ESPN, right there.
Getting backlinks to your blog can be very boring and tedious work. You want as many one way anchored backlinks to your site as possible and try not to do link exchanges. When you do link exchanges most of the time you're just exchanging with another weak cashcrate blog who has awful if not any page rank on search engines. Also, in link exchanges all your really doing is sending google back and forth between the two pages which has no real benefit. However, if you can exchange links with a reputable site that has good page rank then that could become beneficial to you.
Now, what you want to get is one way anchored backlinks. This is the hard part. If you want to do link exchanges with another site, then the best way to do that is in a 3-way exchange. This way you're not sending google back and forth and the links have some quality. Here is an example.
John links to Mike
Mike links to Eric
Eric links back to John
The more blogs and site in which you have the easier that this is. And believe me, it can become rather hard to attain 3-way link exchanges so most people take the easier, more demanding path (weird, huh?)
1.) You need to comment on other, well-known blogs that share the same key words as yours. Use your blog and anchor text as the name. For example, Teens Make Money Online.....comment...
2.) Create another blog and link back to yours.
3.) Create a hubpage about making money online and link back to yours. Make sure your hubscore is above 75 though or the links will not be do-follow. You can achieve this by writing original content.
4.) Write an article on Associated Content and link back to your site with an anchored backlink.
5.) Create a Squidoo lens and link back to your blog.
6.) Add your blog to directories which can gain you backlinks.
Avoid link farms. A link farm has thousands of outgoing links, pointing to all kind of sites. Although they may sound great, google looks at them as a bad thing and they may actually hurt your seo.
Another way to get backlinks is to join forums and use your backlink in your signature. However, make sure that you are allowed to promote in your signature. You wouldn't want to get banned. Be an active part of the community and add valuable posts with your backlink in the signature.
Overall, this is how I, a 16 year old teen have been making hundreds of dollars with paid online survey sites each month. You have to work at it, and don't give up if you havent gotten a lot of referrals after the first few months. Given time, your site will gain good page rank and you will make LOADS with paid online surveys referral progams.
