Day12:Is SEO still profitable

On Twitter? Click the link. Facebook? Click more button for freebies, info and more.

I was chatting to a mate today. We spoke on the usual crap, the weather, UK and US Politics, Ashley Turton and the backfiring to the Liberal Smear Machine in particular. Then he I told him that at the moment I am trying to suppliment my income with Internet Marketing.

He was quite taken aback and said he had just started to look for ways to make easy money online.
He was asking about SEO. FOr those of you that don't know what SEo is, it's Search Engine Optimisation. Basically, the stronger the SEo, the higher the page ranking.

I have no doubt in my mind that people are still making tons of money with SEo, the problem is, I bet you they have been in the game a long, long time and have an army of employees working for them.
I mean if you can get ranked high on google, yahoo, bing or any other search engine, then you're quids in, no doubt. But for tha average person just starting out like my mate and me, it's a pipe dream and a lot, I mean A LOT of hard work.

First you need a website, whether it be a review site, an affiliate site or perhaps even a blog. Secondly, you have to compete for fucking good keywords or find really good low competition keywords and that can be time consuming. Then you have to build back-links (links to your website) in whatever way you can, whether it be link sharing, article writing, forums, e-zines whatever the casemay be. These are all really time comsuming too. Although there is help out there. Jetspinner is a cool FREE program that allows you to write 1 article and then spin it into as many articles as you want in minutes. This can be extremely handy if you want to submit to loads of e-zines and forums. With this you can build back-links quite quickly indeed.
In my opinon though, if you are just starting out, I wouldn't reccomend going down the SEo route just yet. At least until you find a piece of software that pretty much automates the back linking and article writing process for you. (There has got to be a program like that out there, if you come across it, give me a shout.)

However, in saying that, I have had marginal sucess with a program called Income 4 Learners. It is reasonably priced and you get an absolute shitload of bonuses. In fact this is the best program for that, you get a whole host of e-books to learn from and sell if you wanted to. This will teach you all you need to know about SEO and teaches you how to link your blog, (if you have one) to Facebook and Twitter, which is really fantastic if you use your blog to promote.

Well there you have it for today.

Until tomorrow.
