Improve Your Search Rankings with Internal SEO

Earlier this year I wrote a post about the stimulus package that passed Congress in February. I titled the post Government Stimulus Package because I thought the only thing it was stimulating was government. I got lucky with this, because apparently a lot of people searched for the phrase “government stimulus package” to learn about what was in it.

The post did ok on Digg and Reddit, nothing spectacular but it brought in some traffic. It may have gotten a few other links, but not a ton. A few days after the post was published, I noticed that I was getting some traffic the search engines. The post was on the front page of Google, around 6 or so for the keyword phrase “government stimulus package.” This is the first step in improving your SERPs.

35 Ways to Make Money With Your Blog or Content Website

A few weeks ago I attended a conference where a leading blogger was asked how blogs should make money. His reply was “start with Google Adsense and once you have built up a decent size audience sell display ads and sponsorship”.

It is this blinkered thinking which is stopping many bloggers and content website owners from realising the commercial potential of their sites. There are actually dozens of ways of making money from a good content website. Here are over 30 ways that I have come across. Please add any others in the comments below.

Advertising

Text Ads – short text ads automatically displayed on a page based on the context of the content. Google AdSense dominates the market.

Display Ads – Banner and button ads displayed at the top or to the side of content

Video Ads – Short video ads embedded into a page. They can be auto-play (annoying!) or be clicked to play. There is usually an example on the Yahoo.com home page

In-Content Ads – Ads that are linked to keywords within articles. Learn more at InLinks.com

Classifieds – User submitted classified ads. Craigslist is the gorilla, but lots of content websites have niche classifieds. Take a look at RockyMountainNews.com Classifieds

Jobs Board – Paid job listings. A good example is SmashingMagazine Jobs

Pre-roll/post-roll video ads – Short ads at the beginning and end of video clips. Being trialled by YouTube

Paid Reviews – charge companies or individuals to review their book, product or service. Learn more at ReviewMe.com

Pay Per Post – offer to write posts mentioning a product, company or service for a fee. Can be unethical if commercial interest not declared. Learn more at PayPerPost.com

Advertorial – Allow customers to publish their own articles promoting their products or services for a fee. Make sure you clearly mark articles as advertorial to maintain your independence and integrity. Example of Rackspace Advertorial

Sponsorship – Charge for sponsorship for all or part of your website. Usually fixed price agreements for a fixed period of time. Example of a Time article sponsored by FedEx

Directory Listings – create a directory and charge suppliers to be listed, or list every supplier and charge for an enhanced listing. Example of an enhanced directory listing on financial advisors website

Affiliate Marketing

Commissions for Actions – you get paid every time an action is completed e.g. email newsletter sign up, trial sign-up, survey completed, etc. For example you can get paid a commission every time a free copy of the Firefox browser is downloaded. Sign up for a Google AdSense account

Commissions for Sales – you get paid a fixed commission or percentage share of sales value. Learn from Commission Junction

Lead Generation – generate leads on the website and sell them to prospects. Learn from Approved Index

Commission For Events Promotion – promote events in your industry in exchange for a commission on ticket sales. Approach any event organiser

Ecommerce

Digital Product Sales – sell products that can be downloaded over the internet. They can include ebooks, research, software, reports, music, video clips, etc. Go to Clickbank.com to see dozens of downloadable products

Physical Product Sales – stock, sell and ship your own products. For example CannotStopSmoking.com sells electric cigarettes

Dropship Sales – sell products that are stocked and shipped by the manufacturer or wholesaler. To learn more have a read of Wikipedia Dropship entry

Pay Per View – sell one-off access to service. Take a look at The Geological Society for an example

Pay Per Article – sell one-off articles. Example on the RSC Journal website

Auction Sales – auction products or services from your site

Marketplace – match buyers and sellers and facilitate payment.Take a look at EditAvenue.com, a marketplace for editors.

Merchandise – If you have a popular site with a loyal audience you can sell branded merchandise. Try using CafePress.com

Photo and Video Sales – you can sell images and videos direct from your site or through services like FotoMoto (www.fotomoto.com)

Subscription

Paid Membership Access to Premium Content – subscription for month, quarter or year to get access to member-only content and resources e.g. HerbMentor.com

Premium Membership to Upgrade Free Services – provide an enhanced service to paid members. Can be on a forum, information website, social network, etc. For example DNForum.com has a premium membership

Subscription to a Webservice – enable people to subscribe to a service. Take a look at Ancestory.com to see a service that charges for access to research data.

Subscription to an Online Course – enable people to subscribe to an online course with modules being delivered every week or month e.g. SEOBook.com

Subscription to Archive Material – After a fixed time period archive content, then sell subscriptions to this archived data. MarketingSherpa.com publishes all their articles for free for one week, after which time customers have to subscribe to their archive

Subscription to a Podcast – Create a regular high quality podcast and sell it for a monthly subscription. For a directory of paid-for Podcast go to Premiumcast.com

1. Look at Your Stats

Find out which pages you are getting traffic to from the search engines and what keywords are being used to get there. This is where we need to focus. Improving your ranking for a term from 7429 to 43 takes your traffic from 0 to 0. If you can improve from 9 to 1, you will see a huge increase in traffic if it is a phrase that people are searching for.

SEO Tips and Tricks

Save Your Page Rank, Add Nofollow (SEO)

Link buying and exchanging is a good idea but may be not for the search engines. Got it? well lets take a simple example of blogroll in WordPress. Blogroll is a list of links that may be links of other bloggers, favorite website, link buying or exchanging. Be careful if your website caught by the search engine algorithm as illegal link exchanging scheme (although you may not doing this). So this may cause of dropping your own website page rank (PR). To save you page rank (PR) use “nofollow” to all external website links, here is an example how to use “nofollow”

Link with nofollow attribute: <a href=”#” rel=”nofollow”></a>

How we can add “nofollow” automatically to the Blogroll list of links, we need to modify some code manually in the WordPress source code file. Go to the wp-includes directory of your worpress find the file with the name bookmark-template.php and open it in your favorite editor.

Worpress 2.3.1 Go to the line no. 48
WordPress 2.6 Goto the line no. 93
WordPress 2.7.1 Goto the line no. 99

and find some code like this

$output .= ‘<a href=”‘ . $the_link . ‘”‘ . $rel . $title . $target. ‘>’;

and change it to

$output .= ‘<a href=”‘ . $the_link . ‘”‘ . $rel . $title . $target. ‘ rel=”nofollow”>’;

save the file and you are done, from now on all your Blogroll links will have rel=”nofollow” attribute and this will reduce the risks of dropping page rank penalized by search engines.
