Make Money Online or Money Making Schemes

Posted by Paul B | January 8, 2008 .

When I first started this blog one of my main aims was to achive some sort of ranking for perhaps what is one of the most popular 3 word search phrases on the internet today “make money online”. I even went to the trouble of securing a keyword targeted domain name. The problem with blogging though is that so much of what you will write will not be keyword specific and my success was not exactly startling, I did break the top 30 mark for several months and received some nice traffic for the phrase but not the huge quantities of traffic I really wanted. In the end I decided to forget about my primary keywords and just blog!

I do like my stats and have a routine that I follow for checking Google Analytics, one of those checks is to see what searches are bringing people and how long they stay. Part of being successful on the internet is the ability to adapt and it is those stats that have brought about a few changes. I noticed that a search for money making schemes was starting to bring more visitors than anything make money online related. Money making schemes was not one of my phrases that I’d ever mentioned but through links from other websites this blog was ranking well so I decided to push it and see what happened. I’m ranked number 9 on Google at the moment but it will be interesting to see how the on-the-page changes I’ve made affect that ranking, I’m noticing that my search traffic is going up and up all the time.

It just goes to show that checking your keyword stats might give you some ideas for phrases that you’d never normally consider targeting.
