Make Money

The title of my article is merely me testing out posting an article (SEO) with my anchor selection make money to see how much it helps my ratings for the searches of Google. I’m no SEO expert but all I can really say that I am in a learning process and I know that others are using keyword anchors and becoming successful in their search rankings from Google.

I have a suspicion that SE’s like Google  have well over a hundred factors that determine the ranking of sites such as the outbound and inbound links.

From experience I can say that the titles (tags) of your articles are very important and when the keywords are searched you will receive more hits depending on the title of your article. An excellent tool to use for monitoring your keyword progress, page views, and just over all performance of your site is Google Analytics and it’s free.

I’ve been using it from the start of my blogging hobby and it has prove very useful in this area.  As you can see from the screen shot that I’ve uploaded I had 285 page views for 20-3-2007 with a 67.24% return visitor ratio.  Since I know my return visitor ration I therefore know that my readers must like what I am doing so far.  The software also gives a breakdown percentage of where the page views are coming from which is nice to know also. If you are not using Analytics you can sign in by using your Google account or sign up if you do not have a google account, it’s been a great help for me so far.

Google analytics helps you identify the keywords, ads, referrals, and campaigns that contribute the most to your bottom line. Learn how visitors interact with your website and identify the navigational bottlenecks that keep them from completing your conversion goals. Find out how profitable your keywords are across search engines and campaigns. Pinpoint where your best customers come from and which markets are most profitable to you. Google Analytics gives you this and more through easy-to-understand visually enhanced reports.

Guidelines from a SEO perspective include; to many links can be frowned on by SE’s, keep them relevant – similar to your site, appropriate keywords (anchor text) and links from high rankings sites will all have an impact according to the principals of SEO.  My opinion for me is that I only follow two principals choosing an appropriate keyword that I want to be searched for and keeping it somewhat relative – all bloggers.  I also like the idea of having all high ranking sites linking to me because I know that will have a definite impact on traffic but the fact is that not all high ranked sites like me yet.

    I just setup this Google Analytics tool. I hadn’t seen it before. I guess I’ll find out in a couple days what kind of data it provides me for my site.

    I’ve been using for close to a year. It’s a great program, free and full of different reports for the analytics of your site.

    GA is good for analysis. I look through it over the week to see and compare the visitors that are accessing the site to get an idea of the pattern.

    Also, if your webhost/webserver has Urchin stats - its pretty much the same thing as Google Analytics. Google bought out urchin a few years ago and made their service free (used to be hundreds of dollars).

    Jason,
    Are you going to report on this keyword test in the future? In post 12 you said that you have not seen much change yet.

  15. Jason Neuman on April 9th, 2007

    Yes I will but I am still not in the top twenty so I will report later on. Since the key word Make Money is fault over by so many sites it will take a lot of anchors to get me there.

    Jason-
