Get Backlinks to Get Traffic
Backlinks are what some people would call the Holy Grail of getting traffic to a site, be it a blog or a simple static website. Some backlinks are easy to get: bloggers like to comment on other blogs, they like to link out, they are grouped in bigger or smaller communities based on their interests and topics they write about. However, not all backlinks are alike. The ones that matter most for your blog are not the ones anchored on your name. Why would people search for your name online? Well, if your name is Paris Hilton or Sarah Palin, there’s another story. But for the rest of us, with common names, such backlinks barely contribute to promoting our site in Google’s SERPs for those relevant keywords which define what our site is about.

Can We Make Money Online With Holidays?
How can I make more money online? This is the question I start almost every day with, especially since the moment I’ve decided to take less internet marketing clients and develop my own portfolio of websites. For the month of October, our main project was How to make money online with Halloween. We are going to show you how we did it, from setup to promotion, to the follow up, and the conclusions. The main conclusion is that yes, almost everybody can make good money online with holidays, because of the buying fever and because of the traditions so many people choose to respect year after year.
Make money online with Halloween: The Setup
In the last 3-4 days of September, we have developed the following websites:
- One Halloween online store based on Affilistore (free software) and on datafeeds from ShareASale (affiliate network which offers free datafeeds for a large number of merchants). Cost: 0 (we set the shop as a subdomain on one of our general domains). The shop had maybe thousands of pages, but at the end of October we had only 254 pages indexed by Google
- One main blog: Cost: 0 (we used a free hosted service). We wrote and backdated about 20 posts for the beginning. We submitted abut 4-5 posts to about 10 social networking places, using socialposter.com (free service). Then, after we got at least one page of the blog indexed, we timestamped 20 more posts to be published on daily basis. We didn’t submit any more posts to social media, because we already managed to get almost instant indexing for new posts with Google, so we focused our efforts elsewhere
- 14 support blogs: Cost: 0 (we used free hosted services, different from the one of the main blog, so we can give it links from various IPs). These blogs had between 1 and 30 posts on them, and in their sidebar we had links to 3-6 posts from our main blog.
- One post and an affiliate banner on my tips & tricks blog (the aff banner had 30,000 impressions during October). The post was submitted to about 10 social networking places, using socialposter.com
Make Money On The Internet With Pay Per Click
One of the more or less shared dreams in the internet marketing world is to make fast money. Since we’ve been starting this blog, earlier this year, I’ve joined a lot of forums about the ways to make money on the internet. After a couple of months I understood why there are so many people who never manage to make any money online, not to mention making it fast.
This article is not going to teach you anything, it’s not a tutorial for online money making tools, it is just my need to share a few thoughts with you, thoughts about this strange industry where many people don’t think about themselves of doing something, or running a business, but rather they imagine that they make money olnine. So, since all they have to do is money, they don’t do anything else, they just prepare themselves to make money some day. But where’s that day? From time to time, their hard disk becomes full of all ebooks, videos, courses with tips to make money online, so they have to archive those materials on some DVDs which will take their place in the bookcase, pray to dust and forgetfulness.

How To Make Money With PLR Products
In your quest to find new opportunities to make money online, you may have come across this strange abbreviation: PLR. You probably didn’t have the time to go into more details, so you skipped it and forgot about it in the next two minutes. Well, you overlooked a good way of making money online without having to pay expensive copywriters and web designers work for you.
PLR stands for Private Label Rights, and it means that once you bought a certain PLR product, you also bought additional rights, like the right to resell it (be it at a recommended price, or at your desired one), or the right to offer it for free to your readers, or the right to replace the author’s name with yours and sell it as if it was written by you directly.

Make Friends To Make Money
When I first started learning about making money online, I discovered the on-page SEO and I focused on it for a long time. While it gave me good results, I was never able to rank first for any competitive keyword I was targeting. Thinking at this and looking at other people to see how they are doing, I discovered the other side of SEO, the off-page SEO optimization, which basically means getting links for your site with representative keywords as anchors. The more links, the merrier. The closer the topic of the site giving you the link, the merrier.
I made friends thanks to my tips and tricks blog, I was happy to see that people read my stuff and share their thoughts with me and my other readers. Recently, I had the chance to make more friends, thanks to Griz, the “guide” to make money online for beginners, who has published on his brand new make money online blog a list called Friendz of Griz, a list of blogs written by people who have something to say about their topics. Many of them have become my online friends too, and I want to invite you all to read their blogs, to subscribe to them, to leave comments and to participate to whatever is happening there. Your reward is closer than you think.
