No matter how you make money online, you’re going to have to learn to get traffic to your websites. And if you make money online without having any websites, well, this post just isn’t for you. But I can tell you that in the long run, you will be forced to learn search engine optimization or in short, SEO.
So, why do you need to learn SEO or get search engine traffic?
Well, the simplest reason I can think is the fact that it’s good traffic, if you know how to optimize your keywords. But besides the traffic, have you noticed that other webmasters and bloggers don’t usually click on your PPC ads like Google Adsense? Yeah, a majority of your clicks will probably come from search engine traffic.
Don’t believe me, well, I’ve conducted various experiments on my other blogs. Now, don’t expect every single person to click on your ads that come from search engines. That’s just not going to happen. But think about it like this, they came from your site from a major search engine to try to find what they’re looking for, if they didn’t find it, well, you have PPC ads for them to continue their search easily.
Now, this is primarily for the search engine traffic and PPC ads, but this can help in affiliated links as well. Though, I have only had minor experience with that, the conversation rate is pretty low. But if you do get one conversation, it can definitely pay off. But again, you need lots and LOTS of search engine traffic, especially the fact that it’s usually a very, very low click through rate to begin with and with affiliated links they usually have to sign up for something which makes it even more difficult.
I’ll come back to this topic as well because it’s a very important one!

I just don’t get it. Why do people make such a big deal with Google pageranks and updates? I can understand last year when pagerank was worth more and it actually had a meaning. But since the fall of 2007, it just hasn’t been the same.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s some people who can argue [...]
I can’t even believe I just asked that question, “What’s the worst thing about starting a ‘Make Money Online’ Blog?” And believe me, there are endless reasons why people shouldn’t start these types of blogs or shouldn’t even consider touching this niche. But if you had to choose one reason, what would it be?

I have recently started my affiliated marketing career and I have to say, you can definitely make more money from that than blogging. Of course, you have to know what you are doing.
If you notice many successful bloggers who make money online, they didn’t start with blogging to make money online but a majority of [...]
We all know that most of our fellow bloggers don’t click on advertisements placed on your blog, especially pay-per-click ads like Google Adsense. When it comes to people who actually click on ads, the majority of them are people who find your site via search engines. So, should we be blogging for search engines?
