Your favorite thing about having a blog may soon be this - they naturally attract search engine traffic.
Blogs already have optimized site architecture. Most are set up with a clear navigation, where every page is set up to link back to the other main pages.
They also have the inherent potential to be well-linked.
If you haven?t already submitted to blog directories, you are missing out on some great one-way links. Many of the top directories can be found on Robin Good?s Top 55 list at MasterNewMedia.org.
But before you head over there and start submitting, you should know a little about how to optimize your blog. Then your new listings can help your site get the best keyword placement in the major search engines.
These are my top five tips for lucrative blog search engine optimization.
Lucrative Blog SEO Tip #1: Lucrative Keyword Choices
You have a choice. You can target a general high traffic keyword you have little chance of ranking well for and get barely any traffic.
Or you can shoot for a keyword that gets a moderate level of targeted traffic resulting in more subscribers and sales. I like to call this a ?lucrative keyword?.
Whatever you call them, here?s the most important thing: They may not get you the most traffic, but they often bring the most profit.
You may be surprised to learn that there isn?t always a correlation between high traffic and high sales. Many of the most profitable sites in the world get moderate traffic because their lucrative keywords result in a much higher ratio of visitors to buyers.
A recent article in Information Week stated that the highest conversion rates from search engine traffic comes from people who do four word queries.
The great thing about your blog is that it can get so well-indexed that you have the potential to show up for any number of four word phrases that are relevant to your industry.
It isn?t just the four word phrases that get converting traffic - there are two and three word phrases that can bring you traffic and sales.
Targeting your blog discussion to a two or three word phrase that has a high yield of traffic, and yet has little competition, is not a dream of past Internet days. Another recent study revealed that surprisingly high percentages of search engine queries debuted as late as 2004.
As long as there are new developments, new products, services and trends, you?ll never have a shortage of these terms if you learn how to discover them.
Lucrative Blog SEO Tip #2: Keyword Placement
Your blog can be set up to repeat the keywords that you want to target just enough times to establish a theme.
You can take full advantage of this in your post titles, your category names, the pages URL names, or even a combination of Technorati tags and the text of your permanent links that appear after each post.
Lucrative Blog SEO Tip #3: Timely Posting
Instead of pinging at 15 minute intervals when your site hasn?t been updated, or even pinging after every single post, you can actually get better results if you update or ping just once during one of three sweet spots in the day. Here?s one that you can use today.
Check your web site statistics. If you?re getting spidered every two weeks or even monthly, you can increase your number of spider visits by blogging on the anniversary of the period that the spider comes to your site. It takes a bit of monitoring, but you can often predict when the date of your last spider visit was.
An even faster way is to ping at a time when the spider is reading a page that carries your update. (This is a little harder to explain, as I?ve mentioned, but I have a resource that explains this process in-depth at my site.)
Lucrative Blog SEO Tip #5: Get Linked
Turn on your site feed(s) and use them to promote your blog. Robin Good?s guide can get you some great one way links.
If you sparingly include the lucrative keyword you selected in tip two in your title and description, all those link backs will contain the keyword term you most want attention for, which is often noted by the spiders as they follow the link through to your site.
Once there, if you use these and other tips to skew your blog a little more to the search-engine-friendly side, the synergistic effect is better, more profitable traffic.
Lucrative Blog SEO Tip #4: Frequent Updates
The more you post, the more food for the spider, which can cause the spider to react by splitting up its job into several visits, whereupon you have even more content, and so on, until the spider just adds you to a more frequent schedule of returns.
For example, my main site gets spidered several times daily by Google, and yet I can go a week without an update with no change in spider visits. This means my pages get indexed more often and my new pages show up faster.
Think of what that could do for the launch of your next product.
You?ll be happy to know that you don?t have to slave over long blog posts several times a day, all day long to get similar results from your blog. In fact, some blog software will let you set up your posts in advance, so that you can have posts show up daily even though you technically only blog once a month.
Bottom line: A few small changes to your blog can draw more search engine traffic without turning off your blog visitors. Done properly, this gives your audience more of what they were searching for in the first place.
If you haven?t taken up the Chitika | Premium challenge yet, you might want to try it now. In this challenge, Chitika is offering to match any revenue that you generate from the premium ad (up to $100), until 30th of June. However, you must install the code on your blog on or before the 6th of June 2008.
Some important notes on Chitika | Premium:
1) Ad codes must be above or just below your article titles.
2) Ads only get served to *some* U.S. readers/viewers.
3) To avoid a ?blank space? (and wasted revenue stream), you?re encouraged to use an alternate URL. That alternate URL may show a different ad that will be served to readers/visitors who do not get to see the Chitika | Premium ad.
4) These ads are CPC (Cost Per Click). So, you will make money from readers/visitors who see and click on these ads, even if they don?t do anything else.
Writing articles and marketing with articles is one of the best and fastest ways market your business. In fact, if you can write a 7 item grocery list, you can write an article that will help you increase your prospects, publicity and profits.
Here are seven ways that you can benefit from articles.
1) Articles will quickly position you as an expert in your field.
The written word is incredibly powerful. Writing articles sets you apart from your competition. You never have to say "Listen to me, I'm an expert!" Your articles do that for you, because articles increase your "expert-ability."
2) Articles can become little 24/7 salespeople.
Once you have an article published, especially on the internet, you now have a 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 day a year international salesperson working specifically for you and your business.
3) Just one article can be used in many ways.
This is called leverage. Just one article can be used a free report, a bonus, featured in a newsletter or ezine, become part of an online e-course, become part of a book, and many other ways.
4) Articles spread the word about your business and your services.
One article that I wrote 5 years ago was recently used in one of my internet newsletters. A newspaper reporter that is on my mailing list saw it and interviewed me for a story. When he pitched it to his editor, the editor liked it so much that they turned it into a feature article. They ran it on the front page of the paper, and it has been picked up and run across the country.
5) Marketing articles is simple, easy and inexpensive, especially when compared to other ways of marketing online.
It costs you nothing to write an article. It also costs you nothing to have it listed on article directories such as EzineArticles.com. Imagine what it would cost you to pay for that kind of exposure and publicity.
6) Articles can help you build a mailing list that you can market to over and over again.
Once you have a few articles out there, you will reach a certain critical mass where the prospects begin to flow in. Continue to grow past the critical mass, and you will grow to the point where you could not stop the traffic and prospects flowing in if you wanted to.
7) Articles allow you to stay in touch with customers/clients and sell more products.
We know that it can take from 5 to 8 contacts or more for new prospect to be ready to become a customer. Articles allow you to stay in touch with prospects and provide them with quality information.
These seven benefits are really just the tip of the iceberg of all the many benefits of article writing and article marketing.
In order to earn more from your blog, one of the most important things you need is the traffic because the more traffic you get, the more are the chances that you will earn more from different programs.
Today I will tell you some good ways to generate traffic that will help you earn more. Some of you may know this but for new bloggers they will be really helpful in order to generate good traffic.
Generating traffic is not at all difficult. The ways i am going to tell you, some of the ways might work for some people and might not for some. So just try these steps and i sure it will help you as well as it helped me when i started my first blog. Here are some ways to generate targeted traffic to your blog which might take days or can work within hours.
One of the most important thing which brings you good traffic is the content. The better the content, more people will read it. So write unique content with unique keywords that attract the visitors and are searched by people, write killer description that is interesting for the reader and submit them to different article submission sites. The article will appear within few days in the article sites and that will bring some good traffic. So, this point basically focuses on your Content.
Another way of bringing good traffic are the Social Bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, etc. They can bring floods of traffic but for some reason i dont like the traffic from some of the social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon and some other. Though Digg brings some good traffic and there are chances that you get traffic from search engines as when someone search for something and digg results might show on top and you ll get good traffic.
Third way is to post on forums and blogs that have the same niche as you and commenting on other blogs. Use your site?s url in the signature and be a regular poster there. This way is actually really good although it brings less traffic compared to the above two but it has other benefits as well and the most important benefit among all is Link Building and it will improve the site?s pagerank and so it will be higher on search engine results page for specific searches.
The next way is the Pay Per Click Advertising. For this you have to pay for the traffic. Just sign up with programs like Google Adwords. It involves buying ads on sites and search engines. These are some of the ways that can bring alot of traffic for most of the people. But other then these ways you should also focus on Search Engine rankings which are much more important. So do some search engine optimization first and then go for traffic generation from other ways.
Amazing!
Today, I get my blog Google Page Rank (PR) 1.

Thanks to all for the knowledge.
If you've always wanted to make you pay for the time you spend at dishing advice quality defence, anonymous people on the Internet, now is your chance. myLOT is an online community which handles a large variety of subjects.
In principle, it is structured as Yahoo Answers. You pop, ask a question or take a look at the disposal of questions and answer them. Interaction with other users is very lively, largely because myLOT you pay a bonus or participate in any discussion.
You earn money each time an image is downloaded from your seen or when responding to questions from anybody. Interesting is not it? Here are some notes on their FAQ:
How does this work?
We have implemented a system to give everyone who uses the internet the ability to make money. The idea is pretty simple - if you contribute to the myLot Community - whether it is by posting a new discussion, responding to a current discussion, commenting on a current discussion, or referring friends, you earn money.

REVIEW MYLOT
Yahoo familiar with Yahoo! myLOT is quite similar to Yahoo Answers except that sorta offers more opportunities for social networking. The site is very easy to use and the interface is not cluttered with ads, which is always a good thing.
How do they pay? I started to 5 and discussions around 5 answers to other questions from citizens and earned 10 cents overnight. You basically win participating in the discussions and your referrals. I found the site to be fairly well, although some community members flash their referral links in each post they always answer.
I guess that's too expect when you're in a community where everyone main objective is to make money online.
It took about 10 minutes to earn 10 cents and I'm sure I could have done more quickly. I would not advise Mylot as the main source of your income online, but it is an interesting way to earn money while obtaining answers to the most mundane you ever had, but were afraid to ask.
Things like "Why is the sky blue in colour?" Or "What are the costs image hosts?" Applies both on the site.
The community is friendly and you'll probably make new friends, which is great if it's something you look forward.
There are over 127000 members on the site and some have argued that they have already been paid. I will update if this is true, once I reached $ 10.00 the level of payment.
