Squidoo Len's

This is one of the most amazing sites on the Internet. If you haven't at least checked out Squidoo you are missing out on one of the biggest and easiest ways of making money online. I have been reading mostly PotPieGirl's posts. She seems to have the most knowledge I've seen on Squidoo Len's and how to get them ranked in Google. Also, she has a course on One Week Marketing that blows through all the junk that's out there about "Getting Rich Quick!" She's also ranked #4 with the Wealthy Affiliate teaching! Not an easy task considering she's working with schooled Internet Marketers.

Basically, Squidoo Len's are free already packaged and ready to go websites. They are professional looking and all you have to do is add your content,RSS feeds and affiliate links and you have yourself a free website. If you don't have affiliate links.... That's okay! Squidoo already supplies you with Ebay,Amazon and others that you can monetise and make money. Also, these sites rank really well in Google. That I would say is the most important thing I've learned. If you want to get your own site ranked in Google.... Good luck! It will take months or even years to get what Squidoo has already accomplished.

So, check it out! Until next post..... God Bless!

Ezine Articles and Google Indexing

Today, I signed up with Ezine Articles. However, after reading several posts from the Wealthy Affiliate teaching...... I made some mistakes. I copied an article that I had written on one of my Squidoo Len's. Apparently, this is something you don't want to do. The Google crawler is always looking for original content. So, if you copy articles you have already written and submit those to Ezine Articles.... Yup, you guessed it. You won't have original content and Google might overlook your site instead of indexing it.... Whoops! Don't make this mistake. You can write articles about the same exact subject. Just don't copy your previous article word for word.

Also, I learned that you want to have your exact keywords placed several times within your articles (About every 100 words or so) for that keyword to trigger in Google Search (Apparently this is basic Search Engine Optimization). This will give you a higher ranking in the search engine. It also helps to have your sites link on other sites AFTER Google has indexed it. If you put your link on other sites before Google has indexed your site? You run the risk of the crawler overlooking you again! Wheeew.. So much to learn.

Until next post.... God Bless
