Issue 99 : I Got 99 Problems, SEO Ain’t One!
This is to say that you might have 99 things wrong with your website, but it wouldn’t have as much of a negative impact as bad SEO! If your website is not optimized properly for search engines you could end up missing out on a lot of money!
When it comes to creating a website that you intend to monetize, the most important thing is traffic! If you do not have people visiting your website then you will not make money. There are numerous ways to make money with a website such as affiliate commissions, ad impressions and clicks, but none of it will matter if you don’t have a single visitor each day!
To take Full Advantage of the Potential of the Internet you really need to optimize your website for Search Engines because in the long run that is where you will expect to bring in the most targeted visitors. One thing that a lot of new Internet Marketers don’t understand is that not all traffic sources will provide the same quality of traffic. You can’t just say that each visitor is worth the same amount. A visitor who was referred by a Search Engine is more likely to click on a Google Adsense ad then a recurring visitor because someone who visits your site often will become blind to the ads that are displayed! It is generally first time visitors that will click on ads and I believe that if they knew someone was making money from the click then they would avoid doing it!
There are a few main things to keep in mind when optimizing your site for Search Engines. These are Keywords, Title/URL, Content/Body. Just by changing these few things you can increase your Search Engine visits dramatically!
Whenever you create a new page on your website just make sure that it is SEO friendly and you are guaranteed to Make More Money with your site!

true. makes a lot of sense. someone who did a search for certain keywords on google, would probably be more interested in relevant content on your site, even if that content’s an ad.

That’s true - it’s really worth putting that little bit of extra thought in when building your website and eventually it’ll be paying for itself :0)

Wow! Thanks! You know, I never put words to it, but it makes total sense… you know, about the first-time visitor v. the repeat visitors. It actually says to me that I have more work to do. I know I’ve made progress with the whole traffic thing, but there’s more to do… exciting actually.

In the past this mostly meant adding the right tags and you were doing well. Now it is the content you are putting on your pages. I have lots of clients who are adding good quality sales copy to every page and they are doing very well for the terms they want to rank for.
Props on the Jay-Z!

“The Title of this Article may be confusing for some, but it may also be funny to others.” lol i find it funny.
its true, if you don’t seo your pages now and wait on it you will be losing traffic that you should be getting.

Very true and straight to the point reminder indeed. Thanks

That sure is a confident tone that was used to title the article. It also switches up the use of diction that we would know of. It sends the direct point that SEO is vital as quality material needs readers to view it for its worth to arise.

It’s important to remember that the search engines see our websites differently then our customers. So when we are writing content for your pages you need to keep in mind both sides.

Very well written. In today world of competition, SEO is crucial thing to even enter the race with other. Little mistakes can make big troubles so it is essential to make seo on site perfect.
, anyway it’s intriguing.
Anyhow i thing this should have been 101 or 100 issue, like recap of last 100, but your choice

Well, actually SEO is link building for me. That’s about it, ranking well and writing stuff people search for, otherwise search engine ranking is pretty useless. You can rank well for some terms that are highly fought, but still recieve only a handful of visitors each months.
Depending on your niche you should either try to work out a word of mouth propaganda plan, or just plant many seeds, aka links, on as many related sites as possible.
People make such a mystery out of SEO, acutally it’s just hard work and people looking for your topic. Nothing more.

I agree your title is funny but the message what you have given through this article can be appreciated. I have come across people who buy and sell traffic for sites where they didn’t discuss about these points. Apart from tags, content/body is to be considerable thing while doing SEO Thanks for putting some good stuff.
