How to Start Making Money Online

June 17, 2009 By admin 6 Comments

I’ve decided to sell my secrete formula for making 30k a month in 30 days. Now for a limited time, I’m offering a special price of $999 for these secrets of the universe. Pay me this money and not only will you make 30k in 30 days, but you’ll learn my time tested strategy on how to fly.

Yes, you’ve heard it right. I will teach you how to fly. Now, only a few other gurus know this technique. I’ve taught it successfully to a few people – my girlfriend’s kid brother, my blind uncle, and a guy who used to bully me in junior high.

Guys, I can’t stress how valuable this formula is. I mean, who doesn’t want to make money while flying? So take advantage of my limited time soon-to-be-raised price, and send me all your money. If you have any virgin daughters around the age of 24, I’ll take them in lieu of the $999 payment.

Hope that entertained you. I’m tired of seeing bullshit like that on websites. My cousin sent me some fucking make a million dollars in 30 days package he bought last month. He claims he can retire sometime next month. Yea right.

I’m sick of seeing these bullshit make money programs. Somehow people actually fall for this crap. And you know why? Because people want the easy way out, they don’t want to actually work to find success in life. Why do you think diet pills, instance cure acne creams, and quickly get rich schemes are so competitive in the search engines? Because these terms make a lot of money.

Now, if you want to make money online, there are some legitimate sources of information. Here is my recommendation for how to go about making money online.

Step 1: Read EVERYTHING by Grizzly, starting with his Make Money site.

Grizzly bear is probably one of the best internet marketers in the game. And you know what’s different about Grizz? He makes so much fucking money that he doesn’t care about giving away his “secrets.” He also backs his claims up with proof. His site “Make Money Online for Beginners” is sitting #1 for one of the most competitive terms in the marketing game. Read what this man has to say and treat them like gold from the gods. If you follow what Grizzly says, you can make money. Now, the format of the information is pretty scrambled, so you are going to have to read all the old posts and the comments. It’s well worth devoting a few days of your life. You should also check out his Make Money Online with Adsense site.

Step 2: Read EVERYTHING (well, I should say listen to) by VIC. You can make money online with his FREE advice. Vic is a bit rough around the edges, but he’s a fountain of free information.

Step 3: I also say take a look at Court Tuttle’s Internet Marketing site. Court has been around this game for a long time and he offers advice that works.

If you find yourself lost, then consider trying out Court’s Keyword Crash Course. Court basically has a school to train you how to make money online using his methods. It’s not bullshit and for those who need a “Step 1, do this, Step 2, do that” type program, it’s the best source. He’s got a special where you can join for 1 buck for the month – you can’t go wrong with that. I actually joined myself to see why I was getting so many links from his keyword academy forums, and I’ve decided to stick around there for a while.

Step 4: Hard Fucking Work.

Now, all the advice in the world is not going to make you a single dime online. Making money on the web will come from your own hard work, experimentation, and fucking hard work. To succeed in this game, you are going to have to fail – but it’s those failures that will teach you what works and what doesn’t. These 3 sources of information should give you more than enough information about making money online — maybe too much. But, it’s up to you to actually implement it. .

The hubpage game has changed. Before you read this post then pepper me with questions about hubpages, please read my recent September 2010 Making Money with Hubpages updated post. All the information given in these hubpages posts are still relevant, but stuff has changed in terms of trying to make money with hubpages.

Hubpages Challenge Results Discussion

So, let’s talk money. As you see, I’ve managed to score some ebay affiliate sales. The past week, I’ve generated 134 bucks from ebay. Very cool. I did slap on EBay links on 50% of my hubs, so it may be that even if they didn’t make any Adsense clicks, they still generated affiliate sales. I didn’t really focus on affiliate sales, but I see there is some serious potential here. With all the long tail targeted traffic, it’s worth it throw in some ebay links. What I’m not sure of is whether I should dedicate a hub only to affiliate sales or slap on the adsense too. If you want to make a hub geared toward affiliate sales, it changes the whole adsense strategy — I’m thinking CRT would go way down.

This is interesting because it shows that you can make decent money without Adsense. The thing is, you need a lot of impressions for affiliate sales. The more hubs you have in targeted niches, the more you can score it with affiliate sales. Now, we have to see what happens this next month to see if these are a regular occurrence. But for now, I wanted to let you all know that you can get some money from ebay on your Hubpages. It’s nice to see several of those “no performer” hubs did indeed bring in some bacon to the tune of $134. Not bad!

As you see, I’ve earned a total of $224 in 31 days in Adsense revenue from Hubpages. Now, I know I’m not going to quit my job with this, but there is a lot of potential here. If you track my earnings over each update, you’ll see a progression. My first 30 hubs gave me a grand total of about $1 for about 6 days. My second update showed me at 61 hubs with $2.44 after a good 11 days. Now this was disheartening to say. But things start to get interesting around the third update. At about 116 or so hubs I made about $28 dollars after 19 days. By the 4th update, I had made over 100 bucks. By the end of the challenge a week later, I made about $225.

You will notice the trend upward? Each week has brought more money. In fact, if you look at the figures, you will see that there were big increases each week in earnings.

Now, there are a few things to consider. I have been continually adding more and more hubs, the hubs have been aging, and the past 4 days I’ve been adding external backlinks to 50% of my hubs. I want to have ever hub backed by with backlinks by the end of the week.

My average has been about $7 a day, but you have to take into account that for the first 2 weeks, I made only a couple dollars. It was really the last 2 weeks that saw about 95% of my earnings.

These days, I have been averaging about 15 or so dollars a day. It’s been getting higher. Update 4 was giving me a solid 10 bucks a day in Hubpage earnings, and a few 12-14 dollar days. I’ve now been seeing 13-17 dollar days on average. My hub earnings the past week have not really dipped down below 11 dollars a day. My best day was 3 days ago, which gave me a very cool $27 from hubs. This was followed by a 13 dollar day, which was then followed by a $17 dollar day. Today (4pm my time), I’m sitting at about $14 in Hubpages. There is a pretty good chance this will hit 16-20 dollars by the end of today.
These challenge has been such a sucess that I will continue to add hubs. My goal from now is to add 50 new hubs a month, maybe more. I would like to have about 500-1000 hubs. I expect I will earn quite a bit from those — maybe enough for a full time income (3-5k a month). My immediete goal is to make 50 bucks a day. I am near the $20 mark right now (even had close to $30 one day), so I am excited to so how the hubs to this next month once aging and my backlink work begins to set in. Continually adding more hubs will only increase the revenue. Hubs are also create as a “niche” spy. You create some hubs (10-20) in a niche, send a couple backlinks and test to see if you start to get clicks. If you make money, there is a big chance you can make a hell of a lot more money if you open your own self hosted niche site and get it near the top of the SERP’s. This save a lot of wasted time, since the domain authority of hubpages let’s you fast track to see if niches have potential. Now, you can never be sure how you’ll do unless you are on the front page of google for a term, but hubs do give you a pretty good idea if a niche has some value.

Trends
-Hubs may (or may not) have an initial burst of traffic the first few days then the traffic decreases. Traffic begins to pick up again 2 weeks later. The initial burst can be explained by Google fresh content bonus and other hubbers coming to check out your hubs.

-Hubs don’t generally start to generate clicks (at least for me) until a week or more. I am having hubs get clicks now that never had clicks the past 3 weeks. I assume because there are starting to rise or stabilize in the SERP’s. Keep in mind it’s too early still. We need a couple months for things to settle down. This is why I fully expect my average income, even if I don’t build backlinks or add new hubs, to rise. This phenomena is just part of Google’s algorithm. The older the website is, the higher it naturally seems to rank in the SERP’s.

-Sunday has usually been pretty bad performer, though there has been one exception for me

-Most of my clicks seem to come between 9 – 3 and decrease. It’s not uncommon for me to get 12-15 bucks between 9-3, and then only see a dollar or two more by the end of the day. Nights are a crapshoot. I’ve had a couple days where I’ve made 7 bucks between 12 am – 8 am. Now, I’d say I average 2-3 bucks while sleeping. I expect this to go up this next month though.

Now, you will notice, if you followed Court’s update, that he’s been hitting in the 20’s for the past two updates. I’ve had one very nice 20 dollar day, but that’s been it. I know of one other person who is regularly cracking the 20’s. You will note that I have almost 250 hubs out there and I am not regularly cracking the 20’s yet. I am expecting to reach the 20’s regularly this next month. It’s my aim to get into the 50’s within a couple months.

This comes down to niche selection. This is my experience, 90% of the hubs you find won’t make you anything. Out of my nearly 250 hubs, I think only about 30% of them actually have gotten a click, and of those only a fraction get regular clicks. I’d say about 75% of my total earnings come from a handful of hubs.

Which is why you need to have a lot of hubs if you want to make 10+ bucks a day. I’d say you need roughly about 100 or so hubs before you stumble across some niches that do well. With 100 hubs, you should be getting at least 3 bucks a day just from random clicks. If you have the right niches, right off the bat, well, you could have 30 hubs giving you 20 bucks a day.

So far, I’m happy with my $324 bucks this month from hubpages. Although it’s a month, It’s more like I made $320 bucks the last TWO WEEKS, since I didn’t score any affiliate sales or much Adsense clicks the first two weeks.

I will post another update in 1 month tracking my Hubpage Adsense earnings and affiliate sales. I’m predicting it should be MUCH better this next month.

Tips for How to Make Money with Hubs Using Adsense

I’ve spent hours giving advice about how to make money with hubs, so I’m not going to give anything new here. In the past 5 updates, I’ve spent 10k words telling showing you how I made money on Hubpages. Folks, there is NO other how to make money with Hubpage tutorial as detailed on the web. I won’t bother going over it again in detail. But I’ll summarize some of the main things you need to do to make money with hubs in 5 steps.

Create a lot of hubs (at least 75)

If you’ve read what I talk about above, most hubs you make won’t earn anything. Oh, given enough time they’ll get a click here or there, but they won’t consistently get clicks. I have hubs that get 70 people a day and only get 2 clicks for 5 cents and I have other hubs that get 2 people a day and 1 click that’s worth a dollar or more.

If you have a bunch of hubs that don’t bring in any consistent earnings, they still have value. You can use them as a link farm and they will bring in a little money. Sure, if a hub brings in .50 cents a week, that’s not a lot, but when you have 300 hubs, each bringing in .25 cents a week, that’s $75 bucks a week, or $300 a month. These little, occasional clicks do count for something when you get a lots of them. This means a lot of hubs.

Write about specific niche topics

It’s my experience that the more specific the topic, the higher the chance of getting a click. This means writing about “hand cream for dry skin” will likely do better than “hand cream” and “Pond’s hand cream for dry skin” will do even better than “hand cream for dry skin.” Now, this can vary from niche to niche. But in some niches, getting very specific – even putting the specific brand name into keyword phrase, can increase your CTR. I believe this is because people find your site when looking for a specific product and if you write something good about the product, they may click on an ad.

IF you write about a specific topic, you WILL get some clicks. But folks, please fucking pick a topic that there is some reason to click on an ad. Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Recipe Guide WON’T generate clicks. “Best Skin Care Treatments for Acne” WILL.

This is key for both getting Adsense clicks or affiliate sales – you need to be very specific. The more specific, the less traffic you get, but the higher the CTR. It’s also a hell of a lot easier to rank for a long tail then it is for a shorter tail.

Write the Right (Bad) Way

I’ve found that how you write can make a big difference. Now I’ve been posting how to write for Adsense the past few updates. I’ve told you shouldn’t answer the damn question. But, this doesn’t give you license to write like shit. Your sentences should be coherent and well formed and things should make sense. The trick is to write good in a way that is bad. Beat around the bush, brush around the answer, giving hints but not actually answering. Give suggestions about finding the product online or going to websites about the product/service etc. The point is that you want to plant suggestions that the user should fucking click on that relevant ad a few inches away from the sentence talking about it.

Send Backlinks to Your Hubs

Interlink each hubs, use go articles, Ezine articles, infobarrel, squidoo lenses, go articles, whatever. The point is that you want to give your hubs as much of a boost in the SERP’s as possible. You can do this by sending links. I’ll talk more about this in my How to Make Money Online eBook I promised I’d make.

There are two ways you can increase your earnings with your hubs: make more of them or start getting each of them ranked up high with backlinks. It’s more efficient to get them ranked high with backlinks than it is to create a lot more hubs. Ideally though, you want to do both.

My advice is to imagine that each hubs are a blog post/webpage on your own domain. What do you do if you want that post or article to rank high? Send backlinks to it. Same deal. I’ve shown you by working my ass off for the past month that you can generate between 10-20 bucks a day without much in the way of external backlink work. But ultimately, if you want to really make more money with hubs, you need to work the backlinks just like you would for a niche site.

Be Patient

It takes some time to make money with hubs. Yes, you can make money pretty much right away, but finding the right niches and getting enough hubs to do so will take a lot of work.

Why am I not making money with Hubpages?

If you have 50 or more hubs and are not making money, one or more of these is probably the problem:

1. You are not writing about specific topics.
2. Your niches’ CPC is crap. Look for CPC over 2 bucks (you get 20% of CPC)
3. You don’t have enough hubs
4. You are not interlinking your hubs

How to Increase Hubpage Adsense Revenue

Ah, I am going to be spending the next month or two experimenting with this. I’ll toss a couple strategies out there for you to increase your existing Hubpage revenue if you have any.

Boost the Money Long Tails to Your Best Hubs
For some hubs, you will notice you get consistent clicks each day or couple days. If you notice a trend, open up analytics and look at what ENTERANCE keywords that hub is getting. I don’t have my analytics with Adsense linked (I do, but it’s not working). I try to identify what the money long tails are and send backlinks to them. If Hub A get’s 5 clicks, I want to find out what long tail is brining them to that hubs. I open analytics and look at the entrance keywords used to find that hub the same day of those 5 clicks. I generally take a look at all the longtails used to find the hub then if one stand out as a longtail that would bring in someone who would click, I send backlinks to that hub with that long tail in the anchor text. If I notice a hub has say 20 people, and one or two keywords that are not the main keyword are brining in traffic, I send backlinks from other hubs and external sites to that hub using that backlink.

What will this do? This will help you bring in more targeted traffic to your money hubs and help (hopefully) boost your daily revenues. I’ve been doing these to my hubpages.

Optimize Hubs by Adding More Longtails
If you have hub generating money, you should try to optimize it by a) keyword stuffing and b) increase the size of your content. This means looking for some related terms in the niche and editing your post to include this new long tails. If you post is 500 words and generating you 3 bucks a day, add another 1000 words to it – you will be giving more longtails for Google to rank.

Optimize Hubs for Targeted Ads
I find that sometimes a hub does NOT show relevant ads. If this is the case, you should go through it and put money making keyword close to the ads to try to “encourage” the ads to show relevant ads. If you have a niche that should be getting good paying clicks but getting .05-.20 cents instead, it’s probably because the ads are not relevant to the content and keywords.

How to Make Money with Hubpages mini Ebook

I’m also going to start working on my mini ebook (10k or so words) tutorial next week. I’ve been talking about a tutorial post the past few posts, but I think an ebook format would be perfectly suited for this tutorial. What is it exactly? It’s going to be a comprehensive tutorial about how to start from scratch with hubpages and make money in a month’s time.

You can get most of the information from the 5 hubpage challenge posts, but if you are looking for a much easier to read, tutorial format, the ebook will be better. Now I can’t say you will make 20 bucks a day (I’m not even making that consistently yet — but I will), but you will make something and with enough work, you will be able to make great money with hubpages.

I’ll add some new information in it and throw in stuff I learn over the next month from improving my hubpages. We could called it Make Money Online with Hubpages. Should be a great place for people new to hubpages to start. I’m probably going to just give it away for free, though I am thinking about charging a nominal fee like $1, considering it will take like a week of writing to create, not to mention 400+ hours of actually working on hubs trying to learn this stuff. People in the MMO world don’t appreciate free for some reason. But, we’ll see.

Why People Will Never Make Money Online

I’ve been reading the hubpage forums and other MMO foums and following people’s performance. Thousand of people entered this Hub Challenge. Court started it but the people at Hubpages started promoting the challenge as well. You know how many people actually completed the 100 hubs? I count 4 people. That’s it. These four people were out of the hundreds of people who follow the whole Make Money Online scheme. I can’t say how many “hubbers” on Hubpages finished it, but I can bet you 100 bucks that almost none of them did. I looked through the forums checking, and I didn’t see anyone posting that they have. Oh, people did finish the 30 in 30 days, but I’ve yet to see anyone with a 100 in 30 days. And you know what? The Hubpage forums are full of hubbers wanting to make money but concluding that it’s impossible or will take years. Bullshit.

Most hubbers don’t know how to make money because they don’t know jack about niche marketing as taught by Court and Grizzly. They also don’t want to work hard.

Work is what separates those who will make money online and those who will dream about making money online. I’m going to make money online. I’m going to make a hell of a fucking lot of money online. Why? Because I am not afraid to work, I’m not afraid of spending every spare minute writing god damn boring articles, or spending days trying to get backlinks.

THIS is how you make money on the internet folks. It’s by knowing a method of making money online that actually works and by fucking working like a dog.

A lot of people are afraid to actually make websites or hubs because “what if I don’t make any money after I put that work in.” Then go work at fucking McDonalds and get the fuck off my blog.

What’s really disturbing is that thousands of people around the world watched as Court posted his earnings proving that you can make some great money on hubpages. However, I am absolutley bowled over that this didn’t encourage people to jump on the hubpage challenge like Cops would grab a bucketfull of free donuts.

Would you sell your life for a month to make a guarenteed 1000 bucks a month (at least) for the rest of your life? Apparently, the answer is no for most people. I’m not saying you would make 100 bucks a month, but the point is, you have a very big chance to actually start making some permenent online income.

I see a lot of people claiming that they don’t want to make 100 hubs because something may happen to the Hubpage scheme in the future etc. Folks, this is why there are people sitting at home, watching TV and eating cheetos, lying to themselves that they are going to become millionaires in a couple years. Then there is the person who is actually fucking mortgaging his house and working 18 hours a day to realize a dream. Who do you thing is more likely to make it?

Guys, I’m not trying to bash you if you didn’t finish the 100 hubs in 30 days. Shit crops up in life, the kids need to be tucked in, and the dog needs to be walked. I get that. But it really shows me something about MMO. 95% of the people who talk the talk don’t walk the walk. It’s easy about talking about how to make money, its different story actually doing the work to make the money. The point is, you have to move past all this shit if you want to make money. Sure, you can always do 100 hubs in 3 months rather than a month.

But that’s not the point. Many of you told yourself you were going to do 100 in 30 days or maybe even publically posted it. But you didn’t do it! Folks, if you set yourself a challenge you need to fucking meet it head on. The people who created 100 in 30 days are far more likely to make that 20k a year doing MMO rather than drop out disillusioned after 6 months of not making money. Why? Because they are willing to push through crap, work, and other problems to make it happen.

I spend 12 hours a day at work. I spend my entire Saturdays at a school studying another language. A good portion of my Sunday is booked up doing physical labor. But in 31 days I’ve written over 240 hubs, 60 Ezine articles, and 5 fucking massive posts on my blog about how to make money online with Hubpages. So when I hear excuses like ‘I didn’t have enough time, or I was too busy”, I don’t fucking believe it.

So there we go, rant over. If you didn’t complete the challenge fair enough — I’m not judging you. I admit it’s hard as hell to write 100+ articles you don’t care about. There’s always next time for a challenge. But at the very least, I hope my efforts motivate you to work harder. The entire point of this blog is to show you, through my own elbow grease, that if you work your ass off, work harder than 99% of the other people, you can make money online.

Ben’s 100 Squidoo Lenses in 14 days Challenge

Hot on the heels of this Hubpages challenge, I have a “mini challenge.” I’ve made money with Hubpages in a month. Can I also make money with Squidoo? I’m going to find out this question myself.

Now, the whole theory behind Hubpages and Squidoo is quite different, as is the revenue sharing. Hubpages tries to keep everything internal. They dont want you linking out and they won’t let you put any affiliate links into your hubs. Squidoo actually encouages linking out, believing that the squidoo lens should be a gateway to your websites.

The revenue sharing is different as well. Hubpages gives you 60% of the impressions with your Adsense ID. Squidoo doesn’t give you your Adsense earnings, instead putting it into a public pot and shares with all Squidoo users depending on Payrank and your traffic.

This tells me that I don’t think generating Adsense revenue will be as viable on Squidoo pages as they are on Hubpages. I’m not sure if I can get my Payrank up to the point where I get reasonable Adsense earnings. Squidoo does, however, let you keep 100% affiliate commission. I don’t believe Squidoo has the “instant” ranking and indexing advantages that Hubpages does.

As such, I’m going to focus more on affiliate sales and articles geared around selling things then getting Adsense clicks. This is going to be radically different and I’m not sure how well it will turn out. I think I’ll make 50 lenses geared towards Adsense and 50 for affiliate sales.

I don’t think I will be making as much money with Squidoo as with Hubpages, but I want to find out what’s possible. I might even try to make money with info barrel as well.

I’m stoked about this idea. I’ve proven I can make money with Hubpages and now it’s time to try and cut my teeth with Squidoo. The worst case scenario is that I won’t make any money (unlikely, I should make something with 100 lenses). But even a loss is a win because I’ll have 100 strong Squidoo lenses I can use to support other niches sites and my Hubpage hubs. So, no loss.

Sigh, another grizzly-length post. Damn it. Next post will be 250 words, I swear it!

Make Money Online with Hub Pages: 200 Hubs in 30 Days Update I

May 17, 2009 By admin 11 Comments

So, I’ve been spending insane amounts of time writing hubs lately, trying to keep on track with my crazy 200 Hubs in 30 Day challenge. As of right now, I have 32 hubs. It’s been a week so far and I need to have about 6-7 hubs written a day to keep up with the 200 in 30 days. Technically, I should have about 42 hubs by now, but I initially started out with 100 Hubs in 30 Days, then switched over to the 200 Hubs after 4 days — meaning I had to play catch up. I’m almost caught up, if I can pump out another 10 hubs today, I’ll be where I should be.

Now, the question everyone is wondering: Am I making money with hubpages?

The answer is no. I’ve had 3 clicks so far and made a total of about a 1 buck. The 3 clicks came within the past 2 days…when I had about 20 or so hubs.

Court said he had several 0 click days followed by a day where he made 8 bucks. My theory for why he got an 8 bucks in adsense clicks is that people know Court’s hubpage username (apparently). Since his name has been plastered all over hubpages’ official challenge newsletter/post, he’s been getting a lot of traffic to his hub profile. More traffic = more chance of clicks. Or he could just have some sweet keyword niches with no SERP competition.

Why I’m I not getting clicks? I’m convinced it has to to with the fact that I’m not getting any traffic (duh). Since putting up my first hub on Monday (May 11), I’ve had a grand total of 107 visitors according to Google Analytics. Not bad considering it’s only been less than a week. Hubpages are easy to start getting search engine traffic right away, since Google doesn’t seem to do the whole “punish the new site” thing to hub pages.

Now 31 of those visitors came from Google. A look through the keywords used to reach my hubpages show some long tail traffic.

So with 107 visitors, I’ve gotten 3 clicks. That’s around 3% click rate — not really good but not terrible. Most people say about 5% of the people will click on a google ad. Some people can get 10%+ if they style their layout a certain way and craft the writing so as to encourage ad clicks.

So, I can think of several reasons why I’ve made peanuts so far:

1. Niches Are Too Competitive — hubs stuck in the SERP nowhereland
2. No Backlinks to keywords
3. Niches Don’t Have Enough Traffic
4. Content of Hubs

Now, I think I may have been choosing niches and keywords that are too competitive. All of the niches are long tails in competitive niches. But, I am beginning to think that even with the long tails, there is too much competition to really rank high in SERP’s for without backlinks.

My hope was that with long tail keyword targeted hubs, the trust and domain authority of hubpages.com would enable my hubs to rank fairly high for these long tails. But from the traffic I’m getting and Google Analytics, it appears that this is not the case. I basically have two choices here: start sending lots of keyword anchored backlinks to each hub, or start creating niches in uncompetitive hubs.

If I create a lot of niches for keywords that don’t have any real competition, it’s possible to get the hub ranked out high without backlinks and capture that traffic. Now, I suppose this is a viable strategy, but I am trying to create some hubs that can tie into my other blog niches to use them as backlink fodder. I think what I might do is create 15 or so hubs in niches with NO competition and track the results to see if I get traffic and maybe clicks.

Now the other choice is to start to sent out backlinks to my existing hubs. I’ve actually been too buys writing my 7 or so hubs a day to sent any backlinks to them. I think I’ll start doing this.

Now that I have about 32 highly focused niche hubs, I am beginning to see that hubs are just like any other blog. You can’t really expect to make any money with hubs unless they rank in the SERP’s and start to get search engine traffic. Now, I don’t really get much in the way of other “social” hub traffic, but that’s fine by me. I doubt other hubbers would want to click on my ads or buy my ebay products. I suppose I could spend a lot of time trying to get other hubbers to join my fan club and visit my sites — but I hold to my original assertion that to make money online, you need targeted search engine traffic, regardless of whether you have a hub, blog, or website.

My Impressions
It may be too early to call this — I would want around 100 or so hubs before I feel I can state anything with some accuracy — but based on my current performance, I don’t see myself making any real viable money, even if I pump out 200 hubs, if things keep on going the way they are.

As it is, if I only got a couple clicks with 20 or so hubs in a week, I may get more clicks by having 10 times the amount of hubs, just because of the sheer volume, but we will still be talking about pennies and dollars here. Let’s say that in a week my 20 hubs gave me 1 buck. Now I know that for like half the week, I only had 10 hubs, but we’ll ignore that fact now. So 20 hubs gives 1 buck a week. That means I may get 20 bucks a week from 200 hubs. For the sheer effort it is taking to write 200 hubs (we are talking like 5-6 hours of work here a day for a month straight), it’s not really worth it from the monetary sense. However, it’s a great link farm to use to support money sites or support sites, so there is still some good value to the effort.

As stated, I either need to mass target niches with no competition so I can bring in more targeted traffic, or I need to get backlinks to bump up hubs in the SERP’s to increase targeted traffic to those niches. Right now, there is not enough traffic to command any clicks.

What’s clear to me is that some new hubber can’t just go on a hub blitz and expect to make a real income through hubs. First, they will probably not create niche hubs — and these are the type of hubs you will need to make money, provided you get traffic. Second, they won’t get any backlinks to the hubs. Now, I know some people are making a few bucks here and there — probably due to social traffic accidentally clicking on links or an occasional affiliate sale.

What I’m still trying to determine is if an internet marketer can make money. I’m 100 percent sure this is the case, if a concerted attempt is made to get the hubs ranking high.

I’ll keep you guys updated. It’s too early to call anything either way. By the end of nextweek, I hope to have about 100 hubs, so I can give you guys a more accurate assessment of where things lay.

Make Money Online with Targeted Web Traffic

May 12, 2009 By admin 1 Comment

Every person who wants to earn a passive income online knows that web traffic is the key to making the money. On the web, the prevailing belief is that traffic = money.

Or does it?

Close but not exactly. Targeted web traffic = money. If you want to really make money online, you need more than just traffic, you need target traffic.

How do you get targeted web traffic? From the search engines – specifically, from Google. This is the type of traffic that will make you the money, day and night, 24-7. If you can capture a decent amount of Google traffic for money making keywords/keyword phrases, you can capitalize on this.

I’ll use a personal example. On one of my niches, I was getting about 200 people a day from a long tail keyword. The site pulled in an average of about 400 people a day, and half of those were from a laser targeted keyword. I make money on the site through affiliate sales – products that are related to the long tail search.

One day I found I was getting almost 3k people a day. For a solid week I had about 1500 -3000 people a day coming to my site – about a 300-400 percent increase. All these extra people came from Stumble Upon — probably the worst offender as far as “unfocused web traffic” you can get. People basically arrive at your site because they hit the “stumble” button on their browser.

You would have thought that I would make more money from this traffic, but no. My affiliate sales remained the same. Oh, I did sell a couple more products for a couple of the days, but for the most part, my affiliate sales were within the normal range. My Adsense earnings (which were never substantial anyways as the niche is not a good one for it) actually went down. Why? Because all that unfocused traffic did not click on ads causing Google to lower my revenue per ad click. If I made a $1 on a normal day, I ended up making 10 cents instead.

I’m not the only one who has found that social traffic do not make you money. Ask around on the web and you’ll find most bloggers will tell you they don’t make money from their social-traffic based websites. I’ve even read about a case where a guy was getting millions of visitors but was making only a few hundred in Adsense revenue.

So, you want to avoid going after social traffic if you want to make money through your website. A lot of “Make Money” websites will try to sell you a secret formula that will get you web traffic and make you money. Folks the secret to getting web traffic is to dominate the search engines for keywords. To make money on the internet, you simply dominate the keywords to get the traffic then you find a way to monetize that traffic.

It’s relatively easy to get social traffic; it’s hard to get search engine traffic.

These days, most bloggers are attracted to social traffic. Social traffic is being banded about today as the sort of “rebooted” web 2.0. The prevailing thought among most web admins is that all you need to do to make money online with websites is to just get that traffic and start reaping money.

However, social traffic is the wrong type of traffic if you are looking to make money on the internet. Social traffic arrives at your site through some sort of link (be it stumble upon, digg, reddit, facebook, etc). These type of web surfers are NOT looking to buy anything, not looking to click on an ad. Quite simply, there have not arrived at your website looking to solve a problem or find a solution (essential ingredients if you are looking to make money online).

It’s hard to sell something to someone if they aren’t looking to buy. And social traffic is the ultimate hard sell…they are looking to be entertained. If you are blogging for an audience and to feel special, well, go out and submit your articles to digg, use stumble upon to grab lots of traffic, hit the comment boards and forums non stop, making sure to include your link in your posts. You’ll get traffic. You won’t make money.

Now, perhaps you want social traffic. Maybe you want people to comment on your blogs and tell you what a good writer you are. You’ll feel really good. You’ll also stay broke.

The way to make money from web traffic is to have the RIGHT type of traffic, that is, search engine traffic. You see, people who use the search engines are LOOKING for something. And when people are looking for something, they might buy something – especially if what you’re selling is related to what they are looking for.

In order to make money from this type of traffic, you need to dominate the search engines for the keyword/keyword phrase they type in Google.

Think about this. If someone types in “how to cure hair loss” into Google and your site pops up as number 1, do you think you can entice that person to buy hair loss products or click on an ad that features something about solving hair loss problems? Say someone arrives at your site by clicking on the “stumble upon” button from their browser. Do you thing they are looking to solve a problem?

The type of traffic makes a world of difference. So if you want to make money online, you need to get that targeted, search engine traffic.

More importantly, I want to teach you not only how to create a blog farm network, but how to utilize it to dominate your niche keywords. It’s nice to create a blog farm, but if you don’t utilize it correctly, it won’t help. This requires a bit of planning from a top down level. If you are looking for a quick, short read, go elsewhere. This is a large post packed full of useful information. As a disclaimer, I want to say that this is sort of a taboo topic to talk about in the MMO world — at least openly. It’s taboo because if Google suspects you of blog farming, they bring the smack down, HARD. If you browse the Make Money Online forums, there are many tales of woe and sorry about how entire farm networks get deindexed in one fell swoop, shortly followed by money sites. This is a risk you take when you use blog farms. However, I want to say for the most part, blog farms are pretty safe, if you don’t be an idiot and do something stupid. Every savvy internet marketer has a blog farm – and if you want to make money online in the competitive niches, you’re going to need them. If you are adverse to risk, then don’t bother reading this. Now, blog farms really walk the line between greyhat and blackhat SEO – more so the blackhat, especially if you start to use automated software to do your farming. If you are a whitehat SEO, then don’t bother reading this. Blog farming is definitely not whitehat SEO. Personally, I don’t feel there is any type of “hat” SEO. The difference is only in how well you hide the blackhat. The bottom line: if you want to dominate the SERP’s, you need to use every tool at your disposal. [Gets onto Soapbox] If you’ve been doing everything by the book and working your ass off and still not seeing results, it’s probably because your competition is cheating. Many people get into the make money online world full of passion and fire and start churning out their proud new sites. They go through the usual channels to get links: post on comment boards, participate on forums, participate in link carnivals, get an occasional link exchange. These said people, after getting nowhere in the SERP’s, wonder why they can’t beat the competition. The reason is that your competition cheats. They use blog farms, they use blackhat tools, they buy links. For some, internet marketing is not a part time hobby. It’s a full time job. It’s their main source of income and they treat it as such. These people won’t play by the rules, they won’t play nice. If you want to play with the big boys, you are going to have to do what they do. In the “pro” world of sports, if you want to compete, you have to cheat (steroids). The same goes with this make money online game. Your competition won’t be following Google’s TOS. What path you decide is up to you, but at the very least, be aware what you will face. Is it possible to win the whitehat way? Yes, but it’s about just as easy as climbing Everest on your hands and knees — it’s possible, but very difficult. You will essentially be handicapped. [Gets Down From Soapbox] Ok, Now first of all, what is a blog farm? A blog farm is simply a collection of blogs (or websites) that are created solely for the purpose of passing link juice to other sites. Farms can be any size, from a half a dozen blogger blogs to sophisticated networks of thousands of different blogs spread across different servers. So why have a farm? Because it’s an incredible tool for generating link juice to whatever site/s you want. As the ultimate owner and controller of your own blog farm, you can add links to your sites at will rather than wait upon the vagaries of getting natural links or trying to hunt down link exchange partners. You are the ultimate master of these websites, so you never have to worry about some shady web admin taking your links down or adding a “no follow” to the links. Once you put a link up, it stays up unless you remove it yourself. A blog farm is called a “farm” because you can “harvest” your links. And like a real farm, your blogs will “grow” in both PR and search ranking with time and work. There are many techniques for how to create a blog farm. I’m going to shy away from discussing the sophisticated auto blog farming that many blackhatters use. You can, if you know what you are doing and have the right blackhat tools, automate your blog farm process somewhat. However, when you go into blackhat blog farming, your blogs eventually WILL get banned if you don’t know exactly what you are doing. I’m going to shy away from the complicated blog farm strategies and just focus on a simple blog farm formula that will help you dominate the search engines for your keywords. The method I am teaching (well, I don’t claim credit for this “method,” it’s just a strategy that many successful Internet Marketers use to dominate the search engines – especially Grizzly from Make Money Online for Beginners) involves using free blogging hosts. If you are willing to spend money and you want to go the way of the automated blog farms, you can opt to get a reseller web hosting account, a bunch of domain names, and use self-hosted wordpress blogs. I won’t go into this method of blog farming – perhaps later. I just want you to be aware that there are other methods of blog farming, should you wish to experiment. We’ve established that a blog farm is a collection of blogs. So how do you make a blog farm from scratch? The first thing you need to do is to use a bunch the dozens of free blog hosts on the web. The top free blog hosts are www.blogger.com and www.wordpress.com, but there are a lot of other free blog hosts out there. I’ll add a list of some of those blogs here later in a future edits of this post. To have an effective farm, you need as many different unique IP’s as possible. This means you don’t want to have 100 blog farms about the same topic on blogger.com. Google begins to discount too many links from the same C class IP. So say you use those 100 blogger.com blogs to all link to the same website. Google might only count 10 of them – so that’s 90 blogs you won’t get any link juice from. Now let’s discuss the general theory of what we are trying to accomplish here, then I’ll give some specific steps. It’s essential that you separate your blog farm from your “money” sites. You NEVER want to directly link from your blog farm to your money site/s. Why? Think about it for a second. If your blog farm gets found out and Google deindexes the farm, isn’t it likely that Google will suspect the site being pointed to by the farm? Now, in general Google won’t penalize a site that has shady one way links pointing to it…but if they suspect the site of actually being owned by the person who owns the blog farm, they will deindex. Now let’s take this to the next level. Say you have 50 money sites and you have a blog farm of a couple hundred blogs pointing to one of those money sites. All 50 money sites have Adsense on them. Google knows “you” own all 50. If Google finds out you are the owner of the blog farm (say you are stupid enough to point ALL 100 blogs to the single money site with the exact same anchor text, or you use the same email address to register the blog farms as is on your Adsense account), they may deindex ALL 50 of your money sites in one fell swoop. That’s all your online income, instantly gone. So to protect against his nightmare scenario, you need to create a buffer layer between your money sites and your blog farm. This buffer layer is called the “support” layer. The support layer gets links from a variety of sources, your blog farms, legit sites, article directories. Your support blogs then link to your money sites. What we are doing is essentially laundering your blog farms links to your money sites. Blog farms are so useful because you can get so many links from them. All this link power can be used to help propel your money sites up in the SERP’s. Now, I want to say that if you decide to go deep into blackhat territory and find some software that lets you create 10k blogs, you should have more than 3 layers – I’d say 4 at the very least. The extra layers will help protect you – if Google suspects you of using blackhat, they will hunt you down, so you better make sure you put as much distance between you thousands of blackhat blogs and your money site. What content to you put on your blog farm? I suggest spun content or auto generated, search engine content. You can use a tool like Frank’s Blog Content Wizard to really pump out keyword rich English phrases that won’t usually get flagged as spam because the sentences are real English sentence. Another thing you can do is to copy someone’s article and convert it to a spin notation, then use the spin notation to generate unique “rewrites” of this. The problem with this is that you don’t get very many keyword rich, legible long tail phrases indexed by Google. I’ll take more about how to populate your blog farm later. So, let’s get cracking and create our first blog farm network. I am not just teaching you how to create a blog farm, but how to create an entire network of supporting sites and farm blogs to dominate a keyword niche in the search engine results. Here is an image of a potential blog farm. Don’t take the number of blogs listed in the picture “literally” — it’s just to clarify how all the layers of your blog network should look. The arrows are all 1 way links. Make sure you note that the support blogs are not interlinked. The little circles are minisites and hubpages. Also, I don’t show any external links in the picture. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-64" title="pic11" src="http://www.makemoneyonlinewithseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/pic11.jpg" alt="pic11" width="736" height="514" /> So now that you have a general idea (and a picture), let’s get into the gritty nitty. <h4>How to Create an Effective Blog Farm</h4> 1. Know Your Keywords Make sure you know what keywords you are targeting. I’m going to assume you already have your money site set up, and your money site targets a specific keyword or keyword phrase. This money site is the site that will be supported by your blog farm. For my money sites, I try to have specific set of 2nd layer of support blogs and a 3rd layer of farm blogs that all work together to support the 1st level blog, also called “the money site.” 2. Create Support Blogs for your Money Site You want to create a second layer of blogs that support your money site. It’s very important to have this support layer of blogs because not only will they provide good solid link juice to your money site, but we will use this layer to catch all the “bad” links from your low level blog farm and transfer all that yummy link juice to your money sites. —2012 update— You have a choice when it comes to creating blogs. You can opt to host your own blog network on your own servers or use free blogs/free web 2.0′s to build your network. It’s my experience that having your own network is by far the most effective and the safest, but you are going to have to pay to play. The Self Hosted Blog Network / Link Farm You will need multiple IP hosting. See my post about <a href="http://backlinkreviews.org/seo-hosting/">seo hosting</a>. You will need to register your own domains. 10-50 should do. You could also opt to <a href="http://backlinkreviews.org/the-power-of-expired-aged-domains/">buy expired domains</a> with PR and links. You’ll have to pay a lot more money for this (and it’s time consuming), but you get a very powerful network. If you start your own network from scratch, it’s really going to take 4 months to a year of link building to your network before it’s effective. You can of course mix in web 2.0′s into the network or use them to support your self hosted blog network. The Free Web 2.0 Network Go to blogger.com and create 8 blogs about a topic. The point here is to try and have a varied about of blogs that relate to the niche. If your niche is about “fishing lures”, don’t have every single support blog about fishing lures. Create a blog about fishing lures, a blog about fishing rods, a blog about fishing, a blog about the best fishing spots, a blog about fishing line, a blog about hotels for fishermen, a general blog about your life as a fisherman. The point is to try and touch on the many areas in the general niche. This will help get your money site to the top because you can use these support blogs, each relating to a different aspect of the niche, to lend authority for different long tail keywords in their sub niche. So try to make sure the blogs have some of your targeted keywords in the domain. For example, if you are targeting the cancer niche, don’t register “tireworld” or “johnnyblog” as the domain names. Include the world “cancer” somewhere in the domain. The less excess words in the domain, the better. The goal is to have the essential keywords in the domains. For example, if your money site targets the “how to cure cancer with beans”, you want to create 3 or so blogs that are general about cancer, such as: “cancertips” and “bestcancercures” “cancerblog.” Create a couple more blogs that are as close as possible to your keyword, such as www.howtocurecancer.blogger.com. If you are lucky enough to get the exact keywords your are targeting as a domain on blogger, you may consider keeping this as a money site, or if you already have a money site, you can use it as a quality supporting blog. At the end of this process, you should have 8 blogs that touch in various sub niches (or long tail keywords). Again, to make this clear, I’ll go over this (many people seem to be confused about this). If I am targeting “black fishing lures” with my money site, my 8 support blogs will each target a related category in the “fishing” niche. One might target “fishing lures” and be called www.fishinglures4you.blogger.com, another might target “fishing” and be called www.fishingguides.blogger.com, another one might target “fishing roads” and be called www.bestfishingrods.blogger.com. Now, create 4-8 wordpress.com blogs as well, using the same strategy outlined above. You want to keep on doing this for different free blogging hosts. How many “support” blogs do you need? It depends on the niche, but the more you have from different free blogging hosts, the better. Let’s say at the end of the day, you have 8 blogger.com blogs,, 8 wordpress blogs, and another 50 blogs spread across a dozen or so hosts. This would be a pretty strong support blog network. Now, I want to make it crystal clear: you need to have as many different blog sources as possible. If your support sites only consist of wordpress and blogger blogs then you won’t have an effective support layer. You should try to have as many different IP addresses in your support blog layer as possible. If you end up with 30 blogs in your support layer, make sure most of the blogs are from different sources! You should also mix in static/mini sites into your support blog mix. Squidoo, ezinearticles, hubpage blogs, etc are some examples. These mini sites should surround your money site. You should also surround your second layer with links from minisites as well. In general, I try to send links from a dozen or more hubsites/minisites to my money site. Then for each of my support blogs, I surround with half a dozen hubsites/minisites. Refer to the image I’ve given above if you are confused about this. Depending on the level of competition in a niche, the number of needed support blogs will vary. If there is no competition at all, you might not even need a blog farm network to dominate that keyword. A simple legit backlink or two from a related site might be enough. If there a little competition, a blog farm of 6 support blogs and 10 blog farm blogs might be enough. If it’s a super competitive keyword, 100 support blogs and 300 blog farm blogs might be needed (or more). It’s dynamic, so it’s up to you to experiment. I’m just showing you the formula – you need to modify it to your own needs. Also, the ratio of support blogs and the blogs below the support blogs (more on this later) will vary. You may want to have more support blogs than lower level blogs, or you may want to have more lower level blogs. Ultimately, you are just going to have to experiment and see what works best. I personally like to have more lower level blogs than support blogs – but that’s just me. Also, I want to say when I mention “support blogs” and “blog farms”, they are both part of the same thing: a blog farm network. The distinction is that support blogs have legit, unique, decent content on them, while the “blog farms” comprise the 3rd level and have generated content or crappy spun or duplicated content. The 3rd layer of blogs are meant only to be read by the search engines and not for humans. The support blogs are for human eyes. 3 Create the 3rd layer of blogs. Go out and make a 6 blogger.com blogs, a 6 wordpress.com blogs, and a bunch of other free host blogs from different sources. Aim for 30 or so blogs (this can change, but for now, aim for 30). All these blogs will have shitty content on them. As i’ve stated before: if your blog farm are only wordpress or blogger blogs, then your farm will, frankly, suck. And what’s the point of that? Now, you need to generate some content. You may be able to use duplicate content, but I don’t recommend it. Search engines won’t to index dupe content or if they do, you get penalized. I recommend Frank’s Blog Content Wizard to do this job. It’s a program that randomly selects from thousands of English phrases and injects the keyword phrases you specify into those phrases. It’s an easy and fast way to get content. Note that if you get the program, you should run the result through MS Word spell checker to fix up the grammar and punctuation mistakes. You should also write an opening and closing paragraph which will make the content seem legit. Use the program to fill up each post. Note, blogger.com will flag your blog as spam if you post too fast. If you get fagged, don’t worry. Just flick on their link and fill in the textbox to prove you are a human. A few days latter, the blog won’t be flagged anymore. You can also convert an article to spin notation, then use the spin notation to generate unique copies. This will get you something that will be more on topic than Frank’s program, though the phrases will sound weird. Make sure you populate each blog with between 3-10 posts. If possible try to schedule posts to release a couple times a week – this will keep the blog fresh in Google’s eyes and it will be less likely to be flagged as spam. So is this a lot of work? Yes it is, but making money online takes a lot of work! When you really start to make a lot of blogs and websites (as you will have to if you hope to generate a real online income), the one problem you will find yourself facing is how to get enough content to fill your websites and blogs. I’ll share some different strategies to accomplish this in future post. 4. Get (crappy) Links to Your 3rd Level Blogs. This is very important to do – it’s these links which will give your 3rd tier blogs link juice. Sure, you can just create a couple hundred blogs without sending any backlinks to them. But the link juice each of these blogs will give you will be minimal. It’s a lot more work trying to send backlinks to them, but by doing so, these blogs will start to get some real PR and move up in the search results for the keywords. A few hundred PR 1 or 2 blogs are worth more than thousands of unranked blogs, so get as many links to your third tier blogs as possible. These links should be shitty links, originating from comments, article directories, backlink networks (see a list of my recommended backlink software to see these programs), social bookmark links (use Book Marking Demon). You can also interlink the blogs together, but be careful. If some of your blogs get found out by Google, you don’t want them to follow the chain and find all your other blogs. When you interlink, you should only interlink in clusters of 3-10 blogs. Different clusters should not directly link to each other. Just make sure you are smart about how you interlink them. Eventually, all this juice can then be transferred to the support blogs. 4. Link the Three Layers Together If you actively work the backlinks to the 3rd level blogs you should start to see some PR in 3-6 months. Once your 3rd level blogs start to get some PR (3-6 months), it’s time to start hooking up your 3rd level to your second level. However, you don’t want to link the 3rd layer blogs to the support blogs too soon. It looks mighty suspicious if all the sudden your new support blogs suddenly has 50-100 new backlinks coming to it. The key is to make the whole process look natural. Is it natural for new blogs to get lots of links? No. If a blogs has 10 links, it’s not natural to get another 10 links right away…one or two, yes, but not dozens. If a blog has hundreds of links, then you can get 10 links a day without drawing suspicion. If you have thousands of links, then getting a hundred a day won’t draw attention. There is no firm rule here and opinions vary — but follow this rule of thumb and you won’t get yourself into trouble: always make linking seem natural. This not only applies to how many links you get per day, but in the anchor text used in the links and the source of those links. Does it look natural to have 100 blogger.com blogs link to your 1 month-old site using the exact same anchor text? Not at all! So try to vary up your anchor text and source of links. It’s ok to have a few “website” as anchor text in – this is natural. It’s not natural to have all backlink anchor text with the same SEO-friendly keyword or keyword phrase. Now, when linking your 3rd level to your 2nd level, you want to try to hook them up in such a way as that if some of your 3rd layer blogs get compromised, all your second level blogs are not implicated. This means you should not take all your 3rd level blogs and link to every single one of your support sites. So if you have 20 support sites and 100 farm blogs, you don’t want each of those 100 sites linking to each of those 20 support sites. It’s a big finger for google (or your competitors) to follow. So, link everything into separate clusters. If you have those 100 3rd layer blogs, take 30 of them and send 3 links to 10 support blogs. Take another 30 blogs and send 3 links per blog to a different 30 support blogs. And finally, do the same thing again. Now, MAKE SURE you DON’T interlink your second layer blogs. Wait a bit of time, then start hooking your second layer blogs to your money site. Again, don’t do everything the same day. Try spreading the process out over weeks. Eventually, everything will be hooked up. So that, my friends, is how to make a powerful blog farm to support your niches. Now, I know many of you are reading this and saying “That’s a fucking a lot of work.” Yes it is, but the work is work that will pay you back many times. Once you have a farm and it grows it will be a permanent link resource that will only get stronger with time. With each new niche you start, you (if you follow this outline) will have a farm to back it up. Your farm blog network starts to expand and you can use your farm blogs to send links to your NEW niche sites. Yes, it hard at the beginning since you have to start it all from scratch. But once you start to do this process for a year or more, you will have a large network of PR’ed farms that only grows in size and strength. Eventually, you will have a huge leg up in new niches, since you will have access to your own personal link farms to get your new sites up and running. Now, before finishing, I just want to mention a few obvious things that you should NOT do. Or to rephrase it, do them if you really want to get banned from Adsense and your money sites deindexed. Warning: Things NEVER to Do 1. NEVER directly link from your 3rd tier blog to your money site. 2. NEVER use the same email address that’s been used for your money site to register your second level support blogs or your 3rd level blog farms. 3. NEVER use your Adsense or google analytics email address to register your blog farms. NEVER put Adsense on your blog farms unless you want to leave Google a clear trail to your money sites. 4. NEVER link your second tier blogs together unless you have a very good reason. Don’t linkd them together just for the sake of “linking them together.” 5. NEVER use the same anchor text for all your backlinks. Use synonyms and vary it up. 6. NEVER use the same default template for your blogs. Try and blend up your farm blog template. It’s ridiculously easy to track someone’s footprint if they use the same theme. 7. If at all possible, enable privacy on your domains So there you have it. How to create a blog farm to dominate niche keywords. Now go out and create your blog farm. But, I didn’t tell you how to do it!
