Scared Of SEO? - Think Again

Making money blogging online is very difficult to do successfully. The reason most fail is not because of the material they write, but basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization), which would give them a more than fighting chance than most. I see thousands of blogs every week and many have excellent written articles and material, so why aren’t they making much money?

SEO is a big ball game; there are literally hundreds of ways in which you can improve your traffic by using proven techniques. Traffic is the secret to profit and quality traffic would further enhance your money-making opportunity with your blog.

The very mention of SEO puts the fear of God into many bloggers, especially those who have just started form scratch and those who just feel that they don't have the acumen to cope with such technical matters. Get this right - SEO is not just for geeks much SEO work can be done easily on a step by step basis. Let me take you through one area that anyone can cope with and gives big benefits for the blogger for very little work.

One area where any blogger can just spend a couples of minutes each day to list their blog are on SEO friendly directories. Once listed you needn't do any other work and your blog will be a permanent link within that directory and of course you will get traffic from it. Always make sure you spend a bit of time with you profile (add a pciture) if there is one and you blog description. Many readers will just look for the description of a blog and if inviting will swing the balance for them to go into your blog.

There are many types of web directories, If you get a little time find ones that are specific to you blog theme or genre, i.e. If you have a photo blog and look for photographic blog directories, if it is a pet blog there are many pet blog directories and of course if it is a business blog like this one, look out for business. Don't forget to list your blog on the biggest directories with Google, Yahoo and Dmos. In fact this shoud be the first port of call.

Once you have your blog listed on one directory doing the same on others is easy as they are al basically the same. Keep you blog description on a text document so you can copy and paste each time rather than starting from scratch each time, this will cut down on time as well. Set yourself a target perhaps one directory a day and stick to it. Over six months you will be amazed as the increase of traffic you will get and the back links you create by doing this.

Who said SEO was difficult? Directories are of course just one piece of the SEO jigsaw puzzle, but a very good start and something you really should start unless you have already.

Paid Surveys - Is It Worth The Effort?

The internet provides many openings for people to make money. It is a very simple process where you can earn money from taking up paid surveys that are widely advertised. But is it worth the effort? It is a very easy to understand system where you can get paid for the survey participation. Profit are there for the taking for relatively little work. Quick money always appeals and this is exactly the format which is put forward by companies. So what's the problem? You need to read to the end to find out one such problem.

Just do the survey and get paid after doing it sounds pretty attractive and thousand online who take up this offer and go forward with registering. You do not need any formal training or qualifications to do these jobs and is ideal for a stay at home person.

You opinion is worth money as these surveys help a lot as companies to determine how well their services and products are doing well in the market. The only requirement is you being able to give judgement on a service or product.

If you want to take part in the online paid review surveys you will need to take up a membership with that organization or company. Normally there isn't any charge made for this, if there is leave them alone, it will be a scam. You should then get am application form from the company to fill out and probably a questionnaire from the company.

Honesty is something that yo have to adhere to, you will find that not telling the truth is actually harder work and you have to spring more untruths to cover up the previous ones and you will be found out in the end, If you don't know the answer to a question try to ask friends or family that are around. A survey is done so that they can get the real picture about the products or business.

An online paid review survey is offered by agents for companies and organisations who specialise in this field. There are many who give good money for you opinion and review, well worth the effort in my opinion.

I have given a list of decent survey sites that you may wish to take up at the bottom of my blog home page. The only problem I have found is that you may have to wait ages for jobs so it is well worth applying for a number of survey sites to increase the assignment you may get. Good luck!

Beware Of Criminals Who Can Ruin Your Online Business

Be warned again from criminals who are out to get and disrupt decent folk online like you and me. It also costs you time, money and stress if they succeed in getting through to you. What am I talking about? Evil Hackers!

I nearly fell for one sly trick, but the lack of perfect English gave it away, let me explain.

It was coincidental that I was expecting a parcel from Hong Kong any day now and this email arrvived. I quote:

Dear customer!

The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.

Cause: Error in shipping address.

You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly!

Attention!

The shipping label is attached to this e-mail.

Please print this label to get this package at our post office.

Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox!

Thank you.

DHL Delivery Services.

I nearly fell for it thinking that this was the parcel I was expecting then I realised that firstly, DHL was not the delivery service I opted for and as mentioned the spelling isn't perfect (personaly should be personally!)

Thinking on, this idiot who wants you to open a can of worms with the file attachment disguised as a package label needs to be tarred and feather and hung from the neck a public place as an example to others who try and ruin other people's lives.

A warning to all, don't open anything that comes with these sorts of messages it could conceivably ruin any business you have online with viruses.

Everyday I get spammers and/or criminals trying to claw their evil way into my system and if this one had a bit more of an intelligent criminal mind (now there's paradox) it may have caught me. Be very aware!
