First off I want to say this post has been changed. The first post I made related to using tags in wordpress.com to get link juice flowing. Those tags have since been changed to nofollow which I didn’t realize as it was brought to my attention. It was a method that worked for me last time I built them but has since changed as they have added the nofollow to all of them.

One of the best ways to bring in juice to your site from an external means is using free wordpress.com sites. Part of the problem with getting links that people have at times is doing link exchange with other sites in their niche. Maybe they are hard to find, or its just an obscure subject. In that case you will have to work a little smarter to make sites that have some strong PR. I like to use wordpress.com blogs.

One of the easiest types of link exchanges is wordpress.com blogs. The reason for this is simple, most people have no worries about losing juice since wordpress.com is a non monetized platform. The other reason is that its free to them, so they are also not investing money in their sites.

So how would you begin this process? The first thing you would do is, build a wordpress blog around a subject that a lot of people write about. You might try philosophy, art, photography, poetry, or any of that. After about 4 or 5 posts, you will use the wordpress tags to find other blogs that have high PR in similar categories as you. Once you find them, go ahead and actually take a few minutes to read some of their posts or information about them. Then either use their email if they provide one, or leave a meassage on their about me page even. Let them know you enjoy their blog, and that you have added them to your blogroll. Let them know you would be honored if they added you to theirs as well, and to keep up the great work in writing about what they write about.

Once they come to your blog and see their site on your blogroll, they will more than be likely to add you to theirs. Now I can tell you not everyone is going to add you to their blogroll folks, so just be sure to keep at it. My success rate at a link trade is about 1 in 7. But think about this for a second. If you get at least 2 people to give you a link back from a PR4 or PR5 blog most likely next update you should have at the very least a PR3. Sometimes a PR4.

Then once you have the juice, start conforming your blog to the niche that you are working so that you will relevantly link out to your money site. I can tell you from experience this is an easy way to get a PR4 wordpress.com blog if you spend the little time to exchange the links.

When was the last time that you thought about losing your job? Have you thought of what you would do if that happened? Hundreds if not thousands of people each day are searching ever more so frantically on how to make money online be it with a blog or an e-commerce site . The real question is, can you make money online in a down economy? Lets start by taking some time to examine why you definitely can.

While consumers are spending less online just as they are in the real world, it doesn’t change the fact that any shoppers online can be targeted regardless of age, location, and category they fall into. The internet always has been and always will be teaming with people ready to buy something.

For some bloggers who serve up ads using Google adsense, earnings have never been better. I can tell you that my own earnings have been up 50% in the last couple months, and continue to climb. The beauty of making money online as a blogger is that I can work when I want. My income only continues to grow, and I don’t have to worry about losing a job through an employer. Those that know how to market through blogging, and most importantly how to get traffic through the natural use of Google ranking can make literally boatloads.

So why is it that most bloggers have a hard time making money with blogging? is it possibly that they do not know how to target a specifc audience? Is it possible that they do not know how to move up the chain of Google rankings? And could it be that they do not know what niche to blog about? That is a most definite yes. Hopefully as you continue to read this blog you will get free tips that will help you to make money online as a blogger if you do it right.

I think something that many new people have trouble with is not the getting of backlinks, but getting strong backlinks. There are plenty of automated tools that you can use to get links, but what happens when you have gotten bumped up to the 2nd page of Google for the term or terms you are working at with your blog when you can’t seem to get any higher?

A great guy, and one of the wiser blogger’s on the internet that has no problem making money online with his blogs will tell you its all in the backlinks. Well sure you might say, but he has authority and is also well established. While that may be true did you ever think of the fact that there may be 10 other people telling themselves the same thing? Maybe I’m not clear so let me make it clear. In order for you to succeed as a newb in blogging for money, you will need to get out there and network with people that are in the same boat with you.

Not everyone has the type of network built up that can hold its own and feed itself when it needs. So what do you do? Make friends, find others in the same niche as you. share some link love and 3 way link as much as possible. I can tell you when I first started in this business that I was always greedy with my linking. I didn’t want to link out to others because I felt I was giving away too much to them. Well guess what? I rank on top of the serps in more than several niches based on the power of link exchanges.

If you don’t have the ability to sustain yourself I am going to tell you right now to stop being greedy and work out some linking with others that have well founded blogs like yourself. You are both seeking a greater good. Why not help each other out along the way?

This is just one simple way of how to create backlinks, and another make money online free tip for you to think about. If you want to dominate the serps with few resources and get strong backlinks that are extremely targeted, then seek out others that are like minded.

Do you have to be popular to make money online? I think that there are actually a lot of people out there that think so. There are guys like Darren Rowse, John Chow, Maki and others who have some online fame. Some of them built their blogs from the ground up over many years, and some built their blogs through social media. So does that mean that these guys make a killing from their make money online blogs? Some of them do, but that’s not what you should be focusing on.

Let me ask you a question reader. Do you blog because you enjoy it or you want to make money with it?

What was your answer? If you said to make money then you are looking at the wrong people. The people that make real good money online are guys that work niches. Let me give you an example. Did you know that not but just a month or so ago, a guy sold his blog for about 15 million dollars? Do you know what his name was? He wasn’t so famous until recently. his name was John Wu, and he sold bankaholic.com for more than most people make in a lifetime.

How was John Wu able to make so much money on a blog he worked on for only 2 years? Several things. He targeted a high paying niche which was everything related to banks. And he posted about targeted keywords everyday over that period of time as well as built links.

I can’t begin to tell you how important it is to be selective about choosing the subject (niche) you will be blogging about. It can mean wasting tons of time building for months only to find you chose something that is low paying, or building something that pays extremely well.

So now what? Do you think you have to be popular online to make money? Of course not. I mean look at me. I was in a bunch of movies with Han Solo, his career kind of took off but there weren’t many other gigs for a hairy Wookie so I kind of got into blogging when I realized that it was profitable. Blogging isn’t the only thing you can mek money online with though. There are plenty of other make money online options I will talk about in my upcoming posts so stay tuned.

One of the reasons why I built this site is to show everyone really how many free ways there are to make money online. Back when I worked for Han, one of the things I learned was to never trust something just because someone says it. When you think about what people are offering on the internet in terms of making money online, everyone wants to sell you on a product or a course they think you should have to teach you. I can tell you right now that I sold some of my hair to pay for some of these e-books. I know I have a lot of it, but it was a major loss for me. Then I got smarter.

So how can you even learn to make money online if you always have to spend money? Simple! Read my blog! I have been helping Wookies and Humans alike for some time now, so I can tell you what works and what doesn’t. I can tell you right now that this blog will be a make money online no scams blog. I’m sure you have or may be planning on shelling out money for products that absolutely are junk. Please, don’t do it. Don’t waste your time on things you and I already know won’t work. So take a seat, start reading and welcome to my world.
