Finding out inside information from the World’s Largest Online Search Engine can be tough. It’s not easy finding out information about the Google search engine company, but the official Google surfing team has decided to open up. For the first time ever you have a free pass to the inside workings of the top surfing team online. The Google Team consists of 25 dedicated online marketers who strive daily to find the best ways to obtain quality traffic; while earning money online too. The two key things any good marketer wants to know is where to advertise and what programs to promote. It only takes these 2 things to earn money online and most of Google’s secrets are free, simple to use, and anyone can do it.

How Do I Make Money Online?

This should be the number 1 question that is typed into the Google Search Engine each day. However, it’s not the most commonly asked question. Although this question ranks high, the number 1 question is:

Where Do I Advertise Online?

The amount of Internet Users that want to know where to advertise, where free advertising is available, or where effective advertising can be found is what most online marketers search for. Is there anything wrong with this? It all depends. If you have a good program and working with a honest paying company or webmaster; then your search for the best online advertising makes sense. If the program you’re marketing online is not a good money maker or turns out to be a online scam; then your using your valuable time to market a program that doesn’t have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We must first find a good online program that we are comfortable with and this is when we can track down the top places online to promote.

Google’s Rainbow for Finding Gold

One thing every marketer online needs to be is flexible. Ready to pounce on that next great program that appears out of the blue. A program that suddenly decides to have a referral contest or pay you extra money for bringing in new referrals during a certain time frame. Most online contests that pertain to referrals or traffic are generally easy to win and can reward nicely for those that take the challenge and participate. In order to win these, you can’t make preparations on the day it starts. Now is the time to start preparing for the future referral contests, so when one shows up, you will be ready to attack on day 1. Not many people are willing to prepare now for something that doesn’t even exist yet. This is how you gain the advantage over the competition.

The way you want to prepare is by being active on as many different advertising platforms you can find on the Net. There are a variety of free places that you can join and advertise by using free traffic exchanges, free paid to click sites, and free paid to read email sites. The websites that offer banner advertising and text link advertising is generally not that effective, but we don’t want to leave no stone unturned. Use those banner credits to promote your banners. Create catchy titles with your text link advertising and make surfers curious to know what is behind that link. Serious online advertisers and marketers can pay money for a better way of using link advertising that is also available online.

The Google Surfing Team likes to promote programs that pay and you can earn money from. Since most people stop and give up on a program in their first year of promoting, you can keep these people around after year 1, if you can just provide them some type of income. Once people see money going into their Pay Pal or Alert Pay account or receive a check in the mailbox, that is usually enough motivation to keep them around for a 2nd year. The first step for an online marketer or someone that just wants to earn an income from their computer; is to find a easy program to promote and one that has a low payout request. No matter how big or small your online income is at right now; we all need a few dollars trickling in and there are a lot of free programs that give us that “trickle“.

Google Offers Ways to a Trickling Income

It’s only natural that people want to see results when they give their time, effort, and sometimes money to earn extra cash from an online program. Everyone needs a couple of money-generating-programs that offer fast payouts or a monthly earning. Here are a few suggestions that can get that cash-trickle working for you:

*A program that offers cash every day from 4 PM to 10 PM server time and cashout is $25

*A program that is free to join and free to promote. Receive monthly payouts to your Pay Pal account; regardless of earnings. You make 30 cents, you will get paid 30 cents!

*The Best Traffic Exchange Germany has to offer. Germans and everyone can earn money here

*Matrix Mail – Their business is based around giving you money! Been around since 2002, so you know something is working right for them to still be around today.

Simple and easy-to-use programs like these are the ones you should be participating in and promoting; while you wait for your big money to come from the program that got you interested in online marketing to start with. These programs above don’t have a ceiling and if you stay active enough in them, these trickles can become a lot more than just a little extra cash coming in. What starts out as a trickle, could soon turn into a gusher and you might just find yourself drowning in extra money!

The Gusher Comes and Brings the Rainbow Leading to Our Gold

It all becomes very clear when significant money starts to come in from our online programs. All the little trickles has led to one big gusher and the lessons that are learned at this point are priceless. Your now in the position to cut ties with your programs that haven’t been working or earning you very little. It’s time now to step up and focus on what caused our gusher to get here and how we can maintain the path. It will be the brightly colored path of the rainbow and everyone knows that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

It’s now time to step up and work your own unique way to success. You can put that pedal down on your own personal business website; which might have led to your success or press the other pedals that got you to this point. Just make sure you do it your way now and don’t forget the lessons learned from the past.

The steps that lead us to success online comes in many different ways. A person each day finds a new way to the financial goals they set out to achieve. It’s fine to promote and market the things everyone else is doing. No problems if you want to be the door to door salesman for Avon, but learn how to go door to door online. Also, don’t be afraid to make money online in a way no one else has ever done. If you wake up one day and decide you want to create a website for selling sea glass jewelry online; then become the best sea glass jeweler the Net has ever seen! What you choose to do is not as important as how you go about doing it. Oh wait! I guess I know now why people search for “methods of advertising” than the “money making programs” their self. We don’t have to be promoting the very best thing there is to promote. It’s only helpful if we are promoting something people want or will be interested in. How we go about doing it, is what separates the online success stories from the online failure stories. I guess the Google Search Engine had it right all along!

Well Black Friday has came and gone. I didn’t hear about any shopping websites down today, but I know these websites were generating some huge traffic numbers today. Most shoppers probably went to the malls and local department stores. Those that didn’t want to brave the crowds or find parking places Friday, did their shopping online. I was curious to see the top things people were searching for on Friday and indeed “Black Friday” was the number 1 thing Yahoo users were typing into the search engine. Here are some other things that made the top 10 list on searches at Yahoo on Black Friday:

1. Black Friday

2. Leftover Turkey Recipes

3. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

4. Zhu Zhu Pets

5. Pizza

6. Oprah Winfrey

7. Movie Reviews

8. Printable Coupons

9. Flight Tracker

10. Space Shuttle Atlantis

Most of these are shopping related and you’re probably not aware of it. Obviously it’s easy to see how printable coupons would be shopping related, but what about pizza? Lots of people spend all their energy shopping, so they don’t feel like preparing a good dinner or supper. This means the pizza delivery places come into play and lots of business on Black Friday for pizza companies and pizza owners. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, some families will already start using the stove and ovens in the house for the next day and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is another popular day to order pizza for delivery or take out.

Black Friday is so popular that NASA had to send the Space Shuttle Atlantis back to Earth today, so the astronauts could take advantage of the shopping deals Friday. Okay, I might be reaching just a bit there, but you get my drift. I see Zhu Zhu Pets ranked 4th on the search engine searches at Yahoo. I don’t know what these pets are about, but I wonder if it’s a Christmas gift that will be popular this year? I haven’t never heard of these Zhu Zhu Pets, so please let me know some information if you know more about these types of pets.

Going to the movies is always fun during the holidays. The Internet users were searching for good movies on Black Friday; since movie reviews was ranked 7th on Yahoo’s Search Engine list. Any good movies you want to see this holiday season? I would like to watch that new movie about the end of the world. The last day of our existence is in December 2012. At least this is what the Mayan calendar is suggesting or the way we are interrupting it now. They made a movie about this and give us an example of what might happen in a little over 2 years from now. If you have seen the new movie 2012, please let me know how you liked this movie. This wraps up my thoughts on the popular searches for our Black Friday in 2009.

It’s a game that all webmasters have to play. It’s called the search engine game and it’s a daily battle we face each day. Just taking a break for 1 or 2 days can cost you and your website valuable positions in the search engine listings. The weird thing about this game is that no one knows what the rules are. Google is the king in this game and they get to call all the shots. They don’t let us know their secret formula for how or why they rank certain sites higher or lower than other websites containing the same or similar information. Does this sound confusing? Well don’t let it be, since none of us knows the exact rules of the search engine game; then we all have an equal shot at winning.

Someone that has just started a website today, may be able to pass experienced webmasters and SEO companies trying to use the tricks of the trade. We know that links and finding a niche are two good things for any website. These two things can get you indexed well in the search engines, but it isn’t clear how much weight gets put on these 2 things.

I have found traffic works miracles. Showing the search engine bots that you’re getting your share of daily traffic, will usually get you indexed and listed high on all of the major search engines. You also have the opportunity to gain natural links by increasing the amount of traffic your website gets each day. You never know when another webmaster will hook you up with a link and this is a plus in the search engine game. Are you playing the search engine game now? How are you doing? Just be patient if you’re not getting the results you desire right now. Sometimes it takes a few months before you can reap the benefits of your hard work. Remember it’s just a game, but if you can win this game, you can win at a whole lot more things online.

The amount of time and money spent on a company’s website could prove very fruitful on the Net. Every company should look for the best ways to optimize their listings online, so they can pop up on more search engine results. Many of the top companies in America have their own SEO or search engine optimization professional working on these issues daily. If you’re not advertising to the millions of Internet users online; then you’re missing out on a huge chunk of change. In the early stages you or your company will be providing information to everyone in the world and this may not lead to direct sales right away. After a little time has passed, the search engine bots will break down your company’s website better and you will start to appear in more local searches that will benefit your small business or your work-at-home business. Once your website starts to turn up for local keyword searches online; you will then see the direct sales or local interest coming in.

A plumber that could be found online in Miami, FL didn’t get there by accident. Someone took the time to submit their website to various search engines, used good meta tags in the html coding, and probably spent a few bucks on advertising their plumbing company online. These are generally the way companies appear high on search results for a specific item in a specific geographical location. A company that doesn’t have much money in the advertising budget, will want to use high quality content on their site and make it “search engine” friendly as possible, so in time they can get listed high on the search engines too.

Now the search engines are great for companies to advertise online with, but they also help out the consumers. Someone who doesn’t want to order a product online in another state and would prefer to just drive to the nearest location, can use a local search to discover these places. A Pittsburgh Steelers football fan may want to pick up some football cards of their favorite team in the Pittsburgh, PA area. An ordinary search for “football cards” or “Steelers football cards” could show a variety of sports card places through out the country. An Internet user that would use “football cards in Pittsburgh” would be more likely to get local results in the Pittsburgh area; rather than getting card shops that would be located out of state. A card shop in Pittsburgh would want to use their city, address, and location on their website’s pages and in the meta tags, so they could provide services for people in Pennsylvania looking for Pittsburgh Steelers football cards.

There are just so many good things webmasters and people that do searches online can benefit from; if they will focus on local searches. These local listings do make our lives easier. A webmaster in Charlotte, NC should really consider hiring someone that is skilled in the SEO field, so they can get their website to appear locally in North Carolina. It doesn’t take a professional to get this accomplished, but they can help to speed up the process. Both parties (webmasters and Internet users) should try using their city or state more while they’re online and they will see the World Wide Web is much more local than you think.

Does your website have a ranking yet? Don’t worry if you still show a 0 with Google. It does take a little time to get them to rank your website. You can’t get good rankings over night and it does take time to move up the board. Keeping fresh content on your website and sticking to the topic of your overall subject will help you get better rankings with Google. If you can move up their page rank scale; then you will do very well in Google’s search engine and all the other search engines that will soon index your website.  To help companies climb in the search engine rankings there are content management solutions that are available that can help you drive content for a specific niche and generate high SEO rankings. Specific cms software solutions from companies like Omniture can help your organization and those responsible for your web and brand development to stream line the process and allow complete freedom for your users and contributors.

SEO or search engine optimization is something to consider after your website is a few months old. No need to worry about this now if you have a brand new website. You need to keep adding content at least 3 or 4 times a week, so the bots from search engines will know your website is being updated. After your website is about 6 to 8 months old and you have been updating the content on it regularly, you should have a ranking with Google then. If you still show a 0 after this time frame, it may be time to dive into the world of SEO. This can help move your website to the next level and make it more search engine friendly. I do think every new webmaster should add a RSS Feed to their site and this can do wonders for your page rank. A good meta tag is also important for your search engine rankings and the way the bots index your website. It can be fun trying to play the Google Page Rank game and the goal is to get your number as high as possible. A page rank of 1 is not as good as a Google Page Rank of 5. Good luck with the rankings in the search engines and your ranks at Google.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is so important these days to webmasters and anyone that owns their own website. An effective seo tool can impact any web site’s traffic or listings in the search engines. A few good tips can go a long ways in helping a webmaster get on the first page of the major search engines too. I wanted to know what some of these tips may be and see what my readers think about SEO tips. If you have done anything that gave your website a boost in the search engines; then please feel free to share that SEO knowledge.

I think meta tags and incoming links work real well for higher listings in the search engine results. These 2 things can make an impact and especially for a brand new website. It’s always a good idea to have quality information on your website and this is the first rule of thumb to getting ranked in the search engines. If you get lucky and get links coming in that are related to the subject or niche of your website, you can get a big boost with linking. I don’t think webmasters should swap links and try to just get incoming links to your website and prevent the number of links going out. This is pretty much my knowledge of the SEO game and I look forward to hearing some good SEO tips from you!

The World Wide Web is growing a little bigger each day and each day we see a greater need for internet security. A new virus appears daily and with each new virus we need the best possible virus protection we can find online. Surfing around on the computer without an anti-virus program on your computer is just asking for trouble. You may get away with it for awhile, but there is bound to be a virus that will set up shop in your computer system. A computer virus can cause frequent crashes and slow down the speed it takes to load a new page. Eventually the virus can bog down our computers to the point we no longer have control. This can really be frustrating and expensive to fix too. You can save a lot of time and money by adding a good anti virus program now. Don’t wait for your system to start shutting down, because this can be too late sometimes. Taking a little time now to protect your computer can save you a lot of time and aggervation in the future.

I would also recommend finding programs that remove spyware or malware that collects on our systems. This can create a lot of havoc and greatly reduce the performance of our computers. We can avoid this by running an antispyware program every so often (depending how much time you surf each day) and removing the junk that we pick up from browsing online websites. I surf a lot each day online, so I pretty much run my malware and spyware programs daily to keep my computer clean. If you can keep the spyware off the computer and have a virus program that can update itself regularly; then you will reduce your chances from a poor performing computer.

Do you know your PR or page rank? This is offered by Google and many people rely on the rankings from Google. Google is the largest search engine online today their rankings are trusted and respected by most people online today. You can do a search for your website now and see what Google has to say about it. You can also employ and SEO Consultant to help you fine tune your branding and web pages in order to rank better within Google.

Every webmaster online today wants to make their website as search engine friendly as possible. At least they should be in order to start receiving traffic from the search engines. Search engine traffic is the best traffic you can have. Not all traffic is good traffic and the traffic that makes their way to your website that doesn’t come from a target audience would be considered bad traffic. It’s ok to have some bad traffic coming to your website, but for the best results you want targeted traffic. You can find that targeted traffic in the search engines and the best way to attract the good traffic is by using longer anchor text.

When you create a link on your website from words or is a worded text link, it needs to be longer than just one or two words. If you only use 1 or 2 keywords in your anchor text links; then chances are you will have a lot of competition in the search engines for those words. Creating a longer anchor text allows your keywords to be more descriptive and this can result in much higher placements in the search engines. I will use ”teddy bears” as an example of creating your own longer anchor text.

I’m sure the word “teddy” and “bears” are both very common in the search engines and online. Putting the two words together “teddy bears” you’re eliminating a lot of search terms that wouldn’t relate to your website anyways and you start to target a better audience. I’m sure “teddy bears” is a pretty common search term too, so we need to go a bit further and make these two words even longer. Using anchor texts like “cute teddy bears”, “brown teddy bears”, “children’s teddy bears”, or “stuffed teddy bears” we are creating a more distinct search and the internet users that search for a specific teddy bear are much more likely to come across your website now. This is a good example of using longer anchor texts. Now if your website has nothing to do with teddy bears, you don’t want to create any anchor text like I have used in this example. Make sure you do use keywords that relate to your website first. Once you know what those keywords are, try to build a longer anchor text by adding a color or descriptive word to it. Try to imagine what someone would type in a search engine that would be looking for your website and use search terms like that as anchor text.

Once you have several long anchor text created, you don’t need to put these as links on your own website. You need other websites or blogs to add your longer anchor text on, so you will be pointing links toward your site. The more links you have coming in to your website, the better numbers your website will have; which will result in much better rankings in the search engines. It’s not hard getting indexed in the search engines, but it can be tough to get your website listed on that first page. Being listed on the first page is what SEO (search engine optimization) is all about. Go start being creative and come up with longer anchor text to use and remember to find other websites, blogs, or even message forums to create these longer links on.
