How to Make Money and Rank #1 With Blogs

So, I'm sure the secret is out that blogs are the best thing to use to make money on the internet these days. Blogs are easy to create, fun to use and can really help out your search engine rankings. Another plus about blogs is that whenever you want to make a change to your blog you only have to use a template and delete from there as apposed to going through the whole changing process with a regular website.

Today, I would like to share with you some of the ways that you can make money with blogs and how to rank them well in the search engines as well. Hopefully after you are done reading this article you will be able to set up a perfect blog to start making money with and have it ranked in the search engines in no time!

The first thing you want to do is find a good niche that you can make your blog about. The main purpose of having a blog is to give others information on things that you know about or learn about. Blogs should always be informative because this is what the business is about. When you choose a niche, start with one that has low competition that way you won't get frustrated with trying to get your blog to rank well in the search engines. Once you find the perfect formula on how to get your blog ranked then you can move onto a more popular niche.

Once you get your blog set up with content that is about your niche you are then ready to start bringing traffic towards it. It can really be frustrating trying to get so much traffic to your blog because you never know which way is going to work the best for you. The method that I use that works great is article marketing. You can get benefits from it in two different ways and that is with traffic and backlinks. You will need backlinks in order to rank high in the search engines. The more backlinks you have the higher the search engine ranking you will have.

The best way to use article marketing is by making a good author resource box. Don't write a story about your self or anything because people have short attention spans these days. Make sure that your links back to your blog are in your author resource box with anchor texts. Make sure that you use the main keyword you are trying to rank well for in the anchor text.

Its best to constantly keep your blog updated and ping it as it will get indexed very quickly. With the methods above, I am sure that you won't have a problem getting your blog ranked well in the search engines in less then a month.

Blogging - What's New?

The question I'm most often asked by my coaching clients about blogging is, "What am I going to write?" And because of this block in their thinking, they often shy away from having a blog at all.

Yet, blogs are the best way to communicate with your list. And... they're also awesome ways to get traffic.to your money site--the place where you make money. It can be your own website or an affiliate site. It really doesn't matter. An effective use of blogging for business is a very smart investment of your time and effort.

You see, search engines love blogs because blogs have RSS feeds. These feeds convert your blog posts into plain text, and is why when you subscribe to an RSS feed, you need a feed reader. Without one, the blog content looks like a jumbled mess of letters. There are no images, no code, and no formatting. Feeds are just pure words.

Search engine spiders love feeds because they aren't fettered by the limitations of the human eye. Spiders can breeze over the jumbled text very quickly and understand what the feed means. So, if you use the right keywords in your post, the spider will see them, and quickly learn what your post is about. This gives you a leg up with search. In fact, if you post with your keyword in mind, while keeping your posts readable and enjoyable, you can rank almost instantly in Google.

So, back to, "What is there to write?"

Blogging ideas are all around us. Surf the web for your niche and find interesting sites. Interview the site owners and use the interviews as blog posts. Record the interviews on a bridgeline like The Basement Ventures at TheBasementVentures.com, where you can get an .mp3 of your interview and just embed it into your blog.

Make a video with your web cam or flip cam. Or, you can report something cool that you find in the news and put your slant on it. This is very easy to do because there's a very powerful way to get news about your niche, and it comes straight from Google.

All you have to do is to set up a news "Alert" at Google, and you can have items mailed to any email address you wish. Then, you just take those stories and turn them in to blog posts. Rewrite the information in the news item and bang! You have a blog post, and depending on your niche, this could be every single day.

The first thing to do is to go to Google News at http://news.Google.com. In the left-hand sidebar, you'll see a hyperlink that says, "News Alerts." On that page, you just type in a general keyword for your niche, and Google will deliver the alerts to your inbox. You can have them as they occur, daily, or weekly. However, if your niche is very busy--say sports, for example--you could get a ton of email! So, set the alert, and if you need to go back and change the frequency of the messages you receive, you can do that whenever you want.

This is a great way to get your blog posts started! Find an interesting news story and describe what happened and add your thoughts about the situation. And here's the cool thing: If you post to your blog every day, you'll get tons of subscribers coming to you for up-to-date information. In the case of medicine or health and wellness, for example, this could be very desirable, and there are many niches where this could apply.

But don't allow not knowing what to write stop you from having a blog! Google Alerts is a great way to keep those creative juices flowing and for you to keep on blogging. So, set up your alert today and see how easy it is to make your blog a success!
