Someone Used a Search Enginge And Found My Blog!

I have to run, so I won't be able to talk about this in detail. But today someone did a search for "ANTM season 12 january" and my blog was on the first page of google! Woohoo!
I don't know what my blog has to do with January, nor do I care. That's the first person who has found my blog using google's search engine, and I'm psyched. 1st page!

I'll write more on this later, and on a few other things.

Thanks for reading How to Make Money Online for Beginners.

Well I wanted to come back and explain and elaborate on a few things. Since my last post, I haven't really done anything new to my blog. The exciting news (there's a lot of exciting news) is that everyday since I created my blog it has been getting more and more traffic and more and more unique users.
Here's the stats:
Tuesday it had 8 unique users
Wednesday it had 13
Thursday it had 26
Friday it had 34
and today (Saturday) it's had 51 so far. This is good news! Today isn't even over yet!

I just googled "americas next top model obsessed" which is the name of my blog, as well as the name of a new show on the oxygen network, and my blog is in the number 10 spot on the first page of google. Sorry to gloat, I'm just excited. Plus this should prove to you that if you are willing to put in some time and effort from the getgo, things should pick up pretty quickly.

Here are the keywords I want to rank well on:
America's Next Top Model
America's Next Top Model Cycle 12
ANTM
Tyra Banks

If you google "ANTM cycle 12 blog" I am also on googles first page for that keyword. So I'm getting there, slowly but surely. And this gives me hope and motivates me to keep going.

While I have your attention I want to share a few tips.

This one is really good: When you're creating a Niche blog, don't be afraid to get specific. Niche blogs are often time based. You'll have a ton of traffic when your niche is really hot and then it will slow down when it cools off. If you make a blog about fashion in general, it's going to be really difficult to compete with other websites/blogs about fashion. A lot of people dedicate their time to serious blogs about fashion, while you are making a blog really just to make money. So it will be more difficult for you to rank high, beause you'll be competing with the best of the best.
But if you were to, say, make a blog about boat shoes (those are really in style right now) you would be competing with less people and you would make it to the top quicker.
To add on to this tip, I have another tip. Let's say you decide to make a blog about boat shoes. You need to do some research and pretend you are the person who is searching google for boat shoes. What would you search? There are 2 main brands of boat shoes. There are Sperry Top Siders and Sebago Docksides. People are very likely to be searching by brand name rather than the key word boat shoes.
Another example - let's say it's 2006 and the move The Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith is about to come out. This is a big movie, it's a biopic and your intuition tells you that a lot of people are going to see this movie. So you make a blog about it because when people see a movie based on a real story, a lot of them are going to come home and find out a little bit more. What better place to do that than online. So what are you going to call your blog? The Pursuit of Happiness? Picture this, you go and see the movie. This movie is a true story about a man called Christopher Gardner. You like the movie, you return home, you want to find out more. What are you going to search? You're going to search Christopher Gardner. So that should be where you focus.

Here's a program that I just signed up for. It does cost money but it's cheap and worth it. The thing I haven't been able to properly do for my new blog is get meaningful one way backlinks. This is a very important step to getting search engine traffic. I was turned on to a program called "connectcontent" which is basically a site you pay $12 a month for or $120 a year, and you log on and give away backlinks and other people give you backlinks. The way it works is as follows:
You become a member of the site. The only rule is you have to give away the same amount or more backlinks as you get (being in the positive). You post your anhor keyword, URL, and title. Viola! It's a good site run by a good man and if you are having trouble getting backlinks I urge you to join. The more people who join the site, the better it is for everyone, and programs like these are often very pricey.

Well, that's all for now.
