Make Money Online

 

Make Money Online is a term no-one seems to believe it is possible to get a high ranking in the search engines for. This is probably because at time of writing google throws up 166,000,000 results for Make Money Online.

If you do a search for "Make Money Online" using quotes this number falls off drastically to 1,810,000. The sites that rank for Make Money Online and "Make Money Online" on the first pages are mostly the same money making opportunity sites.

I believe Web 2.0 properties and Squidoo, in particular, pack a huge punch today in the search engine results, so I thought I might have a go at creating a lens called "Make Money Online". The reason for this is that again and again in SEO discussions old-style SEO experts quote the term as one that it would be impossible to rank well for using only Web 2.0 properties.

Do a search for Make Money Online in your favourite engine. What do you see? A lot of highly optimised sites ranking there using "traditional" SEO methods. These have all had a lot of work put into them to rank for Make Money Online, but I only see one blogspot blog and a Squidoo lens on page two.

This suggests to me that the term is wide open for first page results for Web 2.0 properties. You see, Google likes to give searchers a nice wide range of results for a search, so if there are few or none there at present, it should be possible to get even a new lens ranking for the term.

I Need Your Help 

This Make Money Online lens can only rise to the challenge with your help!

This lens is not about making money online. I've even set the payment options for traffic revenue to go entirely to charity.

No, this lens is about doing the impossible. Or at least doing what almost everybody in SEO insists is impossible :)

I want this lens to appear on page one of Google for make money online to finally prove to these doubters of the power of social networking that the people now control the search engines through social bookmarking and networking. For this to happen, I'll need your help.

Rate this lens, favorite it, blog about it, tag on Technorati and Del.icio.us, Stumble it, Digg it, link to it from your profiles in MySpace, Facebook, Bebo,...

Let's show them some people power!!

Make Money Online - An SEO Challenge 

Some examples of what "traditional" SEO experts say about "Make Money Online" being an impossible term to rank for in Squidoo or other Web 2.0 sites.

I mentioned above that many consider it impossible to rank for the term Make Money Online using Web 2.0 as an off-page search engine optimisation technique. I thought I should give you some examples of what is being said. Some references are just made as Web 2.0 is only good for "long-tail keywords".

None of them suggest that "Make Money Online" is anything other than a highly sought after keyword with the unproven statement attached that it is not possible to rank for the term this way!
  • I just finished a call with an old-school smartass seo expert...And he sure is a smartass coz he does it the old way that takes months to get results and insists on "web 2.0 is nothing new and it's all hype"

  • If you tell any web 2.0 expert to rank the keywords "make money online", "debt consolidation", and "payday loans" on Google first page, I wish them good luck.

  • For not so competitive (long tail) keywords, you could rank very well in Google by using blog and bookmarking. I use also Squidoo.

  • With proper usage an individual can get good rankings for low competitive keywords using these networks

They are extremely valuable

DavidMason says:

Ed Dale with his "30 Day Challenge" attempted a large scale Web 2.0 exercise that resulted in many of his disciples having their accounts frozen and a Google Slap.

I think used sensibly it has its place but is over rated. Results tend to be short term.

TheGoodRead says:

Absolutely NOT! With Colm Butterly's help and brilliance, I was able to get sites in the Top 10 on both Google and Yahoo.

doronk says:

Every little bit helps, including web 2.0

Good luck! My quest to be on page 1 of the google search is with http://doronkutash.com

ColmButterly says:

I have found them to be great at getting my product links featured high on the search engines..

They have no place in "proper" SEO
