Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

To make money fast, website traffic is the key right? Well, not exactly. Not all traffic is created equally. Your traffic must be targeted.

The best way to procure targeted traffic, is to achieve high rankings in the search engines. I know, it is easier said than done. Therefore, I am going to try and give you a better understanding of the steps which need to be taken to achieve search engine rankings. While some things which I state might seem fundamental and obvious, these are often the most underutilized factors.

Keywords are the single most important factor achieving search engine rankings. As you can see at the beginning of this article, I have the term, "make money fast" underlined, and in bold. Furthermore, the title of this article contains the same term. Essentially, the search engine tries to match the keyword with the content of millions of competing web pages which it analyses (ie. crawls), and ranks in the order from most relevant to least relevant. To make your pages relevant, place the keywords which you are attempting to rank for in your content.

As a side note, the "make money" niche tends to be highly competitive for rankings. You can get an idea of how competitive a specific term is by typing the term into one of the search engines, and looking at how many results are returned. Generally, the more result that are returned, the more competition that exists for the keyword.

Nevertheless, the search engines use different criteria (ie. algorithms), which they weigh in their evaluation of the relevance of a web page to a specific keyword. Unfortunately, the criteria are not made public. Rather, they are only known to the respective search engine. Therefore, we on the outside are left to our devices through trial and error. When we find out what works, we stay with it.

Unfortunately, there is another problem. The search engines are always changing their algorithms. They do this to give all relevant pages a chance to rank, and to keep the content on the internet fresh and up to date. Therefore, the trial and error is a work in process.

Regardless, before you begin to stress out about all of the complicated algorithms, you must target your content to the appropriate keywords or key phrase. There are several tools which can assist you in performing keyword research. Best of all, the best ones are free. For instance, you can research which keywords receive the most traffic for your respective niche vial Google Adwords. Just create an account and login. Further, you will be able to analyze how much competition there is for your keyword or key phrase. As you will see, all of the make money and work at home terms have the highest competition.

Nonetheless, if you have a genuine interest in working at home and want to make money fast, the search engines are your best option to directing targeted traffic to your website, as people are looking for you, not vice versa.
