• selling your own products on your website
• earning money from affiliate marketing (selling products of others for sale commissions)
• earning through Google Adsense

There are many other ways, but main are listed above and other ways are usually the forms of above listed methods.

For the success in all these earning methods you need targeted traffic to your website.

What Really Is Meant By Targeted Traffic?
The targeted traffic simply means that your website is visited by the people who are interested in your topic or product. For example suppose your website is all about the ways to earn online money. Now if a person is really in the need to learn the ways to earn online money and visits your website, then that person is the targeted traffic.

What is the Advantage Of Targeted Traffic?
The advantage of targeted traffic is very obvious. If i want to buy an e-book about online earning methods and i visits a great website selling that book, then there are great chances that i will buy the e-book. But if am visiting the website selling the e-book of pet care, then you know that i will be just closing the website or hitting the back button. So in simple words, targeted traffic are the website visitors that will be buying your products or will be clicking on the Google ads in search of their products or information.

OK Got It !! But From Where Can I Get Targeted Traffic?
Very simple answer. The search engine traffic is the targeted traffic. People who want to buy any product or want some information, mostly search it on the search engines, especially on Google. People coming from search engines(now i will use Google word instead of search engines), are real buyers. They will be buying the products or clicking on the ads to buy the things.

Now How To Get Traffic From Google And Other Search Engines?
Now this is the main issue. This is called SEO or search engine optimization. It simply means that making your website in such a way that Google should consider it best for a certain keyword and should show your website on top positions for that keyword. For example if your website is about earn by writing, then you would like to get Google#1 position for this term so that people should visit your website for that term.

For this purpose there are 2 main types. First is the Onsite SEO and second is OffSite SEO.

What is OnSite SEO?
This is to make your website content and structure attractive for Google. Google is a machine or a software that checks every website against some rules and gives top rankings to the websites that are following those rules. In short i am telling only very basic things that need to be in your website content for a good Onsite SEO.

First thing is your page Title. Your page title should contain your keyword or phrase for which you want your website to rank best.

Second thing is to add good summary of your web page content in the META DESCRIPTION tag. This description should include your keyword again. It seems that Google is now considering the META DESCRIPTION for website ranking. But even if it is not, this is the description that is displayed on the Google when you website is displayed on search page. This text should be attractive for readers.

Third main thing is to use H1 tag in your start of BODY tag. Use H1 only once in a page and this should contain your main keyword that is focused. Then make subheadings using H2 and H3 tags and use the variations of your main keyword in these subheadings.

Then your content should be very Google friendly. Your keyword should be at least once in every para. Don’t simply use the main keyword again and again. You can use the long-tails and variations of your main keyword in the body. Just write your text readable and interesting for the human readers and most of the time it becomes attractive for Google too.

If you are using the Images on your pages, please use the ALT tag and put your keyword in it. For example in the ALT tag of your logo image you can write “Earn By Writing Logo Image” etc.

Try to write long articles on your pages. This will give u benefit in a way that your web page will be ranking well for many longtail keywords without any effort.

Offsite SEO

The offsite SEO is the main thing in SEO. I think for better ranking in search engines, Onsite SEO contributes only 10% while OffSite SEO contributes 90%. But what is offsite SEO. Here, to save time, i will only talk about one factor. If you can focus on that factor alone, you have done your offsite SEO(90% of SEO). Creating proper back links is the 90% of offsite SEO.

Offsite SEO is all about creating backlinks for your website or webpage with your target keyword as anchor text. For example see this link:
How To Start Earn Online Without Investment

Here, the word “How To Start Earn Online Without Investment” is the anchor text and is also my target keyword.

The second part is the link of the web page.

Now if i need to get top ranking for this keyword “How To Start Earn Online Without Investment”, i need lots of back links from other websites for this web page. This is usually a number game.

Back link should have following properties for easy and fast ranking with lesser number of backlinks required.

• Back links should be DoFollow
• Back links are good if are coming from the websites having related topics
• Back links from High PR sites are better
• Back links from within the content are better than blogroll, footer or site wide links.

If you can get enough back links for your web page for a specific keyword, your web page will be getting good Google search ranking provided your OnSite SEO is also OK.

In this post, i have summarized the whole SEO process. If we go into the details, thousands of pages can be written to cover each aspect and factor. But if you only focus on these points, you will yourself observe good results in your search engine rankings. Good Luck!!!

How I Can Earn Money From Hubpages.com?

Hubpages.com allow its writers to place their adsense ads, ebay links, amazon links etc. With all of your articles the Ads with your ID will be placed along with the ads of hubpages.com. This is a type of revenue sharing. It means that both you are hubpages will be earning the money from your articles.

The most common type is the adsense revenue (earn google cash). If you dont have an adsense account, then you can get one very easily from the hubpages forum. Just write 2-3 hubs or articles on the site and then apply for the adsense. You can go to:

My Account –> Affiliate Settings

Here you will see all the money earning options. These are adsense, ebay, amazon and kontera. If you already have registered to these websites, just add you IDs or codes there. If not, you can apply from within your hub pages account. For instance, you will get the instant adsene account when you will be applying within from your account. After you will get your adsense account, you need to update your ID in the affiliate settings page. And thats it!!!

Why Hubpages.com Is An Ideal Place To Earn Money?

Now, the question comes in mind that why you should join the hubpages and how much money can you earn. As already stated, the hubpages website only allows the unique content to be added on the site. The unique content is loved by google and will index your hubs within few minutes or hours after the publishing. So your content will get the instant exposure. The second reason is that when your content is published on the authority sites like hubpages, its ranking is automatically higher than the other websites. For example if you write the same article on your own website, then it will be indexed after many days and will get a low ranking. But if you publish the same article on hubpages, it will be quickly indexed and will be ranked higher in the search rankings.

This will result in the greater traffic from the search engines to your hubs. And many of them may click on your adsense ads or ebay links. Another advantage is that there are countless other authors on the hubpages who love to read and explore the other’s written hubs. This will give you the extra reader from the hubpages community and some of them may click on your ads.

You can also make the friends and becomen Fans of other authors on hub pages. Whenever you will publish a new hub, your entire network will be notified and they may check your new hub. Grow your network like 100 or 1000 people and after every publishing you will free extra views from your friends. This will greatly increase your chances of earning extra money.

Suppose you have a good network of 1000 friends on hubpages.com. You are writing 1 hub daily on the hubpages and your 1000 friends are notified. Suppose that half of them, 500, will view your hub. And 10% of them will click on any of your ads. It means 50 clicks. Assume you are getting $0.1/click from adsense, then you will be earning $5 from your one hub.

This is the rough estimate, and cannot be a rule. Because the social traffic is not good in converting. May be you will get very low conversion like 1-2%. But you will earn some money from your friends group.

Earn Real Money From Search Traffic

If you want to earn real money from hubpages, then you should not rely on the friends of hubpages community, as this social traffic will not be converting very well. But if your artilces or hubs are getting some traffic from search engines, you will be getting very good number of clicks. Suppose you are writing one hub per day and after 1 month you have got 30 hubs. Now suppose you are getting 10 visitors per day to every hub. It means you will be getting 300 search visitors every day on your hubs. The search traffic converts well. Lets say 10% poeple click on your ads, it means 30 clicks per day. You can expect high rate like $0.5 per click as your visitors are from search engines and are willing to buy the products. It means you will be roughly earning about $15 from your 30 hubs. Keeping the same ratio, if you have 100 hubs, you can expect $50/day.

But this is not so easy. Driving traffic from search engines to your hubs need some extra work.

Why People Need Articles?

Before coming to the main point of how to earn money by writing articles online, it is good to discuss that who will buy your articles or why people need the articles. Actually the internet has made the world a global village. You can sell or buy any thing from and to any country using the internet. Statistics have shown that the graph and percentage of online sales is increasing every year. Now if you want to sell something, you need to present your products online so that people can buy them online.

When your website is up and you have added your products, then you need the people to come on your site and see what you are offering. For this purpose you need your website be indexed by search engines like google or yahoo. Google will crawl the website and will check and analyse the content or articles present on the website. If the content is good and related to the subject it will give your website a good ranking in the search results. Of course, this is not the only factor to rank higher in search engines, but still it is very important.

People often don’t have the right talent to write their content themselves. They need the writers like you, to assist them in filling the content for their websites. They need the articles or content that is search engines friendly and also helpful for the visitors. Here comes your job.

How To Find The Buyers Who Will Buy Your Articles And Will Earn You Money?

Well, this is the main point of our discussion. The answer is very simple. You need to search the buyers on the spots or websites where the buyers are searching for the writers. I mean there are various online auction webistes where buyers post their projects and ask for the articles. The writers can bid on the projects and can try to satisfy the buyer that they can write the best copy for them. The buyer will review the bids of all the writers and will choose the right writer keeping in mind his budget. After the project is complete the content will be delivered to the buyer and the writers will be paid. This all process is controlled by the team of the auction websites and ensure that no fraud occurs either from buyer side of from the writers side.

The most common and popular websites where you can find the projects for writing the articles online are:

http://www.rentacoder.com

http://www.odesk.com

And there are many more. You can find on the google. I don’t want to confuse you with the huge list. These two sites are really trustworthy and you can safely use them for your first project. Once you have done some projects, buyers will be contacting you personally and you will working without the mediation of the third party websites.

Hope this article will help you to understand that how can you earn money by writing articles, online.
