Three ways you can make money on the internet
I have been thinking a lot lately about blogging and the different methods a person can make money on the internet. To me it seems that there are some big No-no’s like popup advertisement. I HATE popup advertisements and think it is the most annoying form of marketing possible. It is a sure way to make me never visit a site again. So, with that rant over here are the best ways I think to make money on the internet where you maintain quality of a blog and create opportunities.
Context Links: I don’t mind seeing some words underlined. It does not impact my reading nor does it make the blog look less professional in my opinion. I think context links like the ones offered from Kontera are a great way to make money on the internet without losing any creditability.
Banner Ads: We all started with google I think when it comes to banner ads and eventually we mature into more specific or better affiliate options which pay a little better. These are harmless to have on a site I think depending on how much time you spend configuring your ad and making sure it blends into your theme for your blog.
Sell Something: Be it an ebook, Amazon Affiliate or Shopzilla. Your blog drives traffic to your site with the goal they will buy something from your site so can you make money on the internet. I think this is the hardest form of making money because people will hover over the words and see the ad. People will click on Ads and see where it goes. Those two options don’t cost them anything. Getting them to BUY something means the customer spending money and always a little harder to get that accomplished.

Two search engine optimization tips to live by
Everyone loves the idea of search engine optimization and everyone gives out tips like candy. You will read list and list of the best search engine optimization tips possible by some of the most popular bloggers in the business and you can read them over and over and try to follow every single tip you find but in the end you still could get no traffic. Why? Here are two search engine optimization tips you should always keep in mind when designing your blog and implementing SEO tips to improve your traffic.
If you try to do too much you will fail with your SEO. What works is picking a few SEO Tips you are comfortable with based on your time and dedication to the project you are working on and exploit the method as much as possible. If you want to get backlinks go and get dozens and dozens of them. Don’t get three backlinks and try something else. Master an SEO technique before you move on. Focus on a few different search engine optimization tips and implement them consistently in your blogging for a year then try something else.
Content is king. You will hear this over and over and over but the end of the day it is true. Content will get traffic and will get a readership built. If you focus too much on SEO tips you will not be focusing on providing good content. The biggest search engine optimization tip I can suggest is to NOT focus on SEO and focus on providing quality content.
