Up until now, all my sites have been completely independent entities. This means that none of them touched each other. None of them linked to each other. Every time I got a new site, I would find new links for it and continue to build them. It’s not something necessarily wrong because I have made cash doing it, but it’s a huge pain in the ass. I’ve been reading Griz’s blog lately at Make Money Online. Plus I’m also a reader of Blue Hat SEO, which is a pretty advanced blog. I’d have to say that the average reader of that blog has themselves a dedicated server.
I first heard about building a network on the blue hat site and it seemed a little advanced the time that I read it (a while ago). But both these sites claim that if you want to rank for pretty competitive terms than you’re going to need a network. Or in other words, a link farm or blog farm. I sort of discounted this since I was content for ranking with the less competitive terms, but with a network it would be a hell of lot less work.
So basically, I’m going to try to build my own link network. I want to know how to make cash online with a link network and I’m starting to put that together. It really isn’t that complicated of an idea, even though the blue hat instructions can be a bit daunting. But the point is to get a lot of stuff out there on the internet. It doesn’t matter what. Big sites, little sites, niche sites, authority sites, blogger blogs, squidoo lens, etc etc etc.
This is going to take some time for it to generate cash online because it’s a very complex thing. I’m hoping it doesn’t take too long though. While I’m walking you through this post on link networks, I’m going to spend a little time stuffing a lot of different keywords in here. Related keywords of course.
I was going through some of my old shit that I normally just left. I have some 2 year old squidoo lenses and other old stuff. I think I have a ton of old hubpages too. I guess I’ll have to dig into those too. I noticed some of the squidoo lenses had a little PR in them. Mainly PR1. They’re not great, but every little piece of link juice helps. The idea is that I put up a new site, send a lot of these links to my site and I rocket up the search engines to make cash fast.
The idea behind building this is to incorporate it into my regular site work. I don’t think there is much value in just making these sites without immediate benefit. Let’s say I’m working on a “Make Cash” site. I might as well set up networks of make cash sites. I can pick up a few domains. Pick up a blogger, tumblr, wordpress, weebly or whatever other free blog service. I start building them up. I build links to them, which will be daunting, but I at least get some benefit for my site. While I’m making cash online doing my regular thing I’ll have the chance to build my network.
I’m not sure I can talk anymore about link networks because I really have to build it before I know more about it. So I’ll leave it at that. Since I’m under 600 words at this point I’m going to talk about this site.
How to Make Extra Cash
Yes, that is a completely unrelated to what I’m talking about, except for the fact that I’m targeting the keyword make cash. It doesn’t get a lot of searches, but I thought why not. I haven’t done any link building for this site and I really need to sit down and do it. I want to let the keywords I get now to guide me.
I’m getting absolutely nothing in the way of long tail keywords for anything related to making money or cash. It’s odd. There are only two pages on this entire site (at least blog.amxpert.com) that are getting long tail traffic with no backlinks: Michael Jones Scam and my Copywriting post. In particular, with the copywriting post they have been interested in persuasive verbs. There have been a few active verb interests as well. I was ranking in position 10 for the term at Google, but I’ve slipped off the front page. The keyword says that it gets 58 searches a month. Sorry to say that it gets more. Not a ton, but if I’m getting traffic in position 10 than it must be getting something.
I don’t know. Maybe I should talk about copywriting and writing persuasive copy. I don’t know. I’m still not good at that, but it seems to be a less saturated niche. Oh. I just looked. I had one keyword related to the site: make cash online selling sit back. Not the most common terms and I’m no longer ranked for it. I also get some related traffic for sniper sites, so that is good at least.
I’ve noticed this important thing on some sites and not 0n other sites I’ve own. And I think Griz put the word to what I was seeing. Google doesn’t care about your keyword on the page, but relevance of it. For example, I have a post where I talk about Christine Taylor’s tight ass. I’m the only site on the net that has that exact phrase on their site, but I don’t rank for it. It comes down to the fact that it isn’t relevant to the rest of this site. In the same post I mentioned the phrase Casey Cartwright ass, which hasn’t been phrased on the internet and my site doesn’t rank.
I need to build up a foundation of good keywords that are related to the content of this site. My main keyword is “make cash”, so let’s derive a list of relevant keywords that I could use.
make cash
make cash online
how to make cash
how to make cash online
how to make cash online with prostitutes
how to make cash online with midget prostitutes
how to make cash online with midget prostitutes with an amputee leg
I’m getting off base there, but you get the idea that you can come up with all this shit in your niche. The idea is that I want to write a long post today and stuff a lot of those keywords into the content. I just want to see if Google sends some some traffic for it. It’s just like the persuasive verbs keyword because I got a little traffic for it before it disappeared off the front page of Google. There could be value in that.
My Clickbank sucks site ranks first for that keyword. I didn’t go out and build links for it or anything. I just kept talking about how much Clickbank sucks. I’m not saying it is hard to rank for, but relevancy plays a role. After a while Google pieces together what the site is about. Especially the fuck you Clickbank (yes, I rank top for that too). Maybe this little test in relevancy will see me ranking for midget prostitutes with an amputee leg or something. Time for me to link back to the first page of this site with my proper keyword anchor text Make Cash Online.
I tried to Make Quick Cash Thursday
I flipped on the news the other day and say the fort hood shooting thing. Instantly I thought about how I could make cash today doing this. I immediately pumped up a site and started building it. It took forever for the damn thing to index, but it eventually did. I made several pages of content on the site for it focusing on some main keywords like “fort hood shooting”. I wanted to try this to see how much traffic I could catch. Even if I wouldn’t rank for the main keyword, I was bound to pick up some long tail traffic. I didn’t have any monetized stuff up on it cause I was just testing.
Even if it was monetized I wouldn’t of been able to make cash from home with it because no one came to the site. I didn’t get any long tail traffic for some reason. Nadda. I’m thinking that if you want to capitalize on that trends stuff you’re going to need a site that already has authority to begin with. I know the time I was waiting for it to get ranked ate up a lot of the traffic. It just didn’t have any kick in the search engines. I thought since it was a new item Google would be more in the position too index things faster. Who knows.
I heard trends can send you a lot of a traffic, but it’s hard to monetize. A musician dying would be easy though. Imagine creating a site when Michael Jackson died and put up links to his music. Man, you would of been able to make extra cash online. Like a lot of it.
Okay where am I at:
- Talked about Link Networks – Check
- Talked about Christine Taylor’s tight ass and Casey Cartwright ass – Check
- Talked about midget prostitutes with amputee legs – Check
- Talked about how to make cash – Check
- Talked about fort hood shooting – Check
I still have to go because my list of keywords is still at about 15 keywords left, so I’m going to have to figure this out. What else could I talk about? Oh I see…
How to Make Extra Cash
Let’s say that some of your higher income sites are tanking. Maybe they got penalized, for whatever reason, and are moved down the ranks of the big G. Maybe your offer, product or Adsense CTR isn’t what it used to be and you’re coming in a little short for the month. What do you do? I think it is important to not dip into your savings when you’re in this type of position. I have savings and I hope you’re saving some of your online earnings. You never know when things might go to shit and the last thing you want to do is end up at some shitty fuckin’ job making ends meet.
Freelance work is the answer to this. You can do practically anything, so don’t get the idea of going into doing writing work to make easy cash because you’re going to run into some fuckwads that will want to low ball you. They’ll want you to cut your price down and they just want more and more from you. The only good customers that I had were the ones that were paying a premium. Period.
There’s all sorts of shit that people need done, so you don’t have to limit yourself to this type of shit. You don’t even have to look on the internet for clients. Local businesses will pay you big money for something you find absolutely easy. Remember how I said a friend and myself made a certain site for a sports league. Well, we’re not in the business of web design or anything like that. We coded out this site and we want to sell it again and again to other leagues. Here’s the funny thing. Our first client told another guy. He doesn’t want our sports league software. He wants his own static site. Here’s the kicker… he’s willing to throw down a $100/mth on the hosting/maintenance costs. And yes, we’ll take a grand from him up front too. Businesses have money, so sell something to them.
Just think of how much money that is guys. And it’s easy cash generation. Let’s say you’re running a little short for the month. You could easily pick up an extra grand and a recurring income. Even if you didn’t need the money you could go out and make cash now. It’s not like you need to hear yes from all businesses. You could send out a flyer to hundreds of these businesses and just one has to buy. You can do more though. You could design restaurant menus, brochures, business cards, etc. It’s insane the shit that you could be selling to a business to make cash at home as a freelancer.
But I guess we are webmasters and in the business of making easy cash online, instead of in the real world. I would never forget such things though. Making cash online doesn’t have to be hard for a freelancer, but you have to accept the fact that you’re competing with more people than you would with locally. Not to mention the fact that you have to compete with someone in India that can survive on $2/day, whereas you’re going to need a lot more than that.
If I’ve learned one thing, it’s not to be a bitch. Don’t compete on price – compete on value. People that want cheap prices will only demand more and they’ll be bigger pricks to you too. A lot of people think that if they want to get cash online then they’re just going to have to put up with them. It’s your headache.
Hmmm, 6 keywords left. Bah Forget it. It’s enough for now. Toddles!
Wait, I should probably end on some sort of football video since I’m playing fantasy football. Last week the Falcons took on the Saints. Some of my best players are on both teams. You can watch Michael Turner with some great runs, Pierre Thomas with some great runs and Roddy White making some catches.
