CS – First my control site… I started this one about a month ago and it went as I have described above… it climbed steadily (as high as 30^th position for its KW) but now it is nowhere to be found at all in the SERPs. I built it just like I’ve been building sites for years with pretty decent success, but since panda… well really since the hubpages slap happened just after Christmas… the game seems to have changed.

S1 – On this site I strive for very low keyword density. I plan on using the keyword once in my post, so it might make it onto the page 2 or 3 times with the title etc, giving the site a max of 3% KW density (compared to my other sites which I will have the KW density at a higher than I normally would 7-10%).

S2 – On this site I will slow the backlinking down to a snail’s pace. I’ll leak links to it at a rate of 1 per day (as opposed to the other sites which will get 3-5 a day each). This site will no doubt climb slower than any other sites since it will be getting less links, but we’ll see where it ends up.

S3 – On this site I will be sure that all the posts have different titles and URLs (the homepage will be the only page with the main keyword). Typically on my site I use cousins or variations of my main keyword for the post titles. I may even give the posts search unfriendly titles like “experimenting with making sites rank real well by mixing things up” instead of a keyword title like “Google serp slap experiment”

S4 – I will be cloaking affiliate links on this site just to see if Google is not liking the fact that I have links to Amazon on pretty much every page I build.

Things I will control for:

• All the sites will be on the same host
• All the sites will use the same theme
• All the sites will be the same age
• All the sites will have similar content (length, quality)
• All the sites will target the same keyword
• All the sites will receive BMR backlinks

If anyone has any other suggestions for my little experiment I’d love to hear them. It would be great if other people would play along too and run their own similar tests, maybe with some variations of the factors they will be messing with. I’ll keep everyone updated on the results of my little experiment over the course of the next few months and we’ll see if we can’t crack this tricky little nut called the Google algorithm.

But if you are actually in the right place…

One of the most important things you can do for a site is build links for keywords related to or that contain your main keyword. Generally speaking the longer the keyword is the easier it is to rank for, so while you’re seeking that coveted #1 position for your keyword why don’t you try to get some of its cousins’ rankings up there as well? Let me explain what I like to do.

First, I start with my site’s main keyword. Of course, I put some effort into tracking a good one down, because nothing sucks like building a site and pushing it to number 1 only to find out that it gets no traffic. Or working for 12 months and realizing that you’re never going to rank for the same term as something with a movie by the same name. Let’s say for the purposes of this article my word is going to be “skin cream”.

Secondly, I like to find 3 or 4 related keywords that are essentially the same thing as my main keyword; basically in any given sentence they could replace the actual keyword. These should be words you really could build an entire site around if you wanted to. For this example let’s say “facial cream”, “body lotion”, and “hand cream”.

Third I think of some qualifier words that I could easily stack on the front of my keyword to make it a long tail keyword. Find words that are somewhat related to the industry your site is about… again for this site I’m going to use “anti-aging”, “moisturizing” and “natural”. Now I’ll work my way down and make all the combos of my stacker words combined with my keyword and its cousins:

- skin cream

- anti-aging skin cream

- moisturizing skin cream

- natural skin cream

- natural anti-aging skin cream

- natural moisturizing skin cream

- moisturizing anti-aging skin cream

- natural moisturizing anti-aging skin cream

- facial cream

- anti-aging facial cream

- moisturizing facial cream

- natural facial cream

- natural anti-aging facial cream

- natural moisturizing facial cream

- moisturizing anti-aging facial cream

- natural moisturizing anti-aging facial cream

- body lotion

- anti-aging body lotion

- moisturizing body lotion

- natural body lotion

- natural anti-aging body lotion

- natural moisturizing body lotion

- moisturizing anti-aging body lotion

- natural moisturizing anti-aging body lotion

- hand cream

- anti-aging hand cream

- moisturizing hand cream

- natural hand cream

- natural anti-aging hand cream

- natural moisturizing hand cream

- moisturizing anti-aging hand cream

- natural moisturizing anti-aging hand cream

For my main keyword and all its major cousins I will write a LONG post (like 2000 words) and give each of them their own “page”. The main keyword I stick on my main page permanently. Try to write naturally, and try to use the longer versions of your keyword more than the shorter version. I name the post pages the longest word we came up with.

Now comes the link building. When I build links to sites like this I generally build somewhat evenly for all my keywords to start out. Get the site to rank at least in the top 5 pages for all its words and then start worrying about particulars. Once all your words are findable, I start working from the bottom up (ie. start at the longest version of each keyword). I’ll still link with all the different anchors, but until I break into at least the top 5 spots on page one my focus will be on the longest word. This will give you some confidence and hopefully a little trickle traffic.

Once I’m ranking well for “natural moisturizing anti-aging skin cream” as an example I go up and start hammering the site for my next level of keywords (all three of the ones with 4 words). Again I try to get them into the top 5 or so, and I bet you’ll see your 5 word keyword move up a little as well. And just keep working up the list, now focus on your 3 word keywords, and when they are doing well it’s time for the big guns, our two word keywords (which by this time should be ranking pretty well on their own).

Hopefully you’ve worked all your keywords into the top 3 at this point and now is where you need to take a look at your stats. What keywords are driving the most traffic? Are you in position 1 for those words? If not start working on those ones until you are. It won’t take long and you’ll have your niche (and a lot of keywords) completely taken over. And hey, if you ever manage to get into position 1 for all your keywords find another couple of cousins of your main keyword and start at the beginning. With the authority your site will have earned to this point I bet it is even easier than before to dominate another word and grow your site another 20%.

Best of luck!

Usually when someone comes to me asking how to make money fast on the internet I tell them to keep dreaming because it’s not going to happen. I say that because typically when it is asked they are wanting to know how to build a sustainable income overnight and quit their jobs the next day. That’s not going to happen! It takes a lot of time and hard work to build a real online business that is bringing in the kind of money you can live off.

However, there are a few ways to quickly earn extra money when you really need it most and you won’t need to learn how to build an internet business in order to do them. You aren’t going to get rich off these methods but they can certainly help when you are in a bind. I have quickly discussed some of them for you…

* Craigslist.org – There’s a section on CL called “gigs” and you can almost always find several odd jobs (gigs) in your area that people are paying to have done for them. A few years ago I found a listing on there from a lady offering $200 just to move a dresser out to her garage. I called up a friend of mine to help me and we went to move it for her. It took us around 5 minutes to actually do it plus another 20 minutes of drive time, so we each made $100 in less than 30 minutes. There are plenty of gigs like that posted on CL all the time. Usually they aren’t quite as easy or pay as well as the one I did, but you can certainly earn some extra money when you desperately need it.

Another way you can use Craigslist to make money fast is by selling things on it. This is probably the most obvious use of it since it is one of the main reasons for the existence of the site. You certainly have various items sitting in your basement, storage, closet, or even in plain sight that you really don’t need to keep around anymore. Selling them is a great way to earn extra cash while also freeing up some space in your home.

* Fiverr.com – This is another place where you get paid to do gigs for people. Just as it says on their site, it’s the place where people do things for $5 each. You can find people doing just about everything imaginable on there for five bucks. You certainly have some sort of skill that people would pay you for. Post your own gig on there and you might earn a few hundred extra dollars within the next month, and you can start on it right now.

* Get Paid To (GPT) – You can find all sorts of “get paid to” sites also known simply as GPT sites on the internet where you can quickly earn extra money doing simple things such as taking online surveys, doing free offers, playing online games, commenting on blogs, posting in forums, and many other things. A couple of the most popular and legitimate GPT sites are project payday and cash crate, but there are many others. Don’t expect to replace your salary from them but you can certainly make some easy money when needed. And they are almost always free to join so that helps a lot too.

The three options listed above can be your savior when you are in a desperate situation and need to make money fast. They will still take a little time and effort. Nothing is THAT quick and easy. But they don’t take an unreasonable amount of learning, time, or work. So you can get started on them right away to come up with the quick cash you need to get out of the situation you are in.

In case you have never heard of this book, here’s a little information about it for you…

The Science of Getting Rich is a very popular book that was originally written over 100 years ago by Wallace D. Wattles, and is still relevant and influential today.

It was one of the main inspirations for the bestselling book and movie “The Secret” that exploded into mainstream popularity a few years ago. It also preceded the similar and incredibly famous book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

The book is based upon what the author (Wattles) called, “The Certain Way of Thinking.” The mental technique intended to establish a state of positivity and self-affirmation.

It is divided into 17 short chapters that explain how to overcome mental barriers, and how creation is the hidden key to attracting wealth.

The continuing influence of The Science of Getting Rich is such that there are numerous reprints, audio versions, and web sites based on it to this day. It was also included in a list of 50 success classics by a top personal development scholar in recent years.

Anyway, I think you get the picture. Basically this book is awesome!

* Warrior Special Offers (WSO) – There is a section of the Warrior Forum for special offers members can create and sell to other members. These can be just about anything as long as they are original and are offered at a lower price that is specifically for the forum members. Some examples of what people sell as WSO’s are backlink packs, PLR article packs, ebooks, reports detailing their systems for making money, video tutorials, mentoring services, PLR to products, blog themes, keyword lists, and so much more.

Many of these things can be created in one day or less, so if you need to make money right now then you can create a WSO to sell. It does cost $20 to list a WSO but if you create something useful it’s usually well worth the cost because you can earn a significant profit. There are people who make thousands of dollars every month just from warrior special offers.

* Site Flipping – This is something that people have been doing to earn money for a long time but in the past few years it has dramatically increased in popularity. The basics of it are similar to what people who flip houses do in the real world except it is done with virtual online property.

The process is fairly straightforward… You find a site to buy that needs a little “fixing up” so it is being sold for a low price. You make the necessary improvements such as giving it a better theme, building more traffic, increasing profits, and anything else you can do to raise the value. Then, you sell it for a large profit.

If you need to make money now and don’t have the time or resources to buy a site and fix it, you can build a new site and sell it for some quick cash. Most likely you won’t get very much out of it but you could get a couple hundred dollars to help out with your situation. If you have any experience with building sites then you should be able to get a decent one done in a day or two.

Also, the flippa.com marketplace is the most popular place for buying and selling websites.

* Freelancing – This is a great way to make money right now because there are a lot of people out there looking to pay someone else to do just about every task imaginable. Freelance workers are in high demand and it’s almost certain that you have a skill set that someone would be willing to pay you to utilize. Internet marketers are especially notorious for outsourcing a lot of their business tasks to freelance workers.

Some common freelancing gigs are content writing, copywriting, article writing, blogging, link building, SEO, web design, programming, customer support, marketing, graphic design, translation, and many other things. You can bid for jobs on site like elance.com, guru.com, or any of the many freelance sites. Often times you can get hired today, do the work immediately, and get paid fast.

* Get Paid To (GPT) Sites – There are many reputable “get paid to” websites out there where you can earn money doing simple tasks. Some of these tasks include; taking online surveys, completing free offers, reading email, posting in forums, join free websites, try products, play games, and all sorts of other things. These sites are usually free to join and are some of the most popular ways to make money fast on the internet. If you need to make money now then GPT sites should be on your list to check out right away.

* Craigslist – You can’t forget about the big CL if you want to know how to make money right now. This is one of the best places for doing exactly that. There’s no doubt you have items around your house or in storage that you no longer use or need to keep. Selling them on craigslist is a great way to get rid of them while at the same time earning some extra cash for yourself.

Of course, you can also sell them on auction sites such as eBay. But I purposely left them off this list because they typically take more time to sell since you have to wait for the auction to end, and you have to ship it. Usually with CL the person will come pick it up so there is no shipping and you don’t have to wait for the auction to end. It’s possible to list something for sale on CL today and have it sold with money in hand by the next day.

Okay, there you have it, 5 ways to make money now. You should have no trouble coming up with the extra cash you need in a short amount of time.
