Is there a Magic Button?

According to some of the internet marketing gurus all you need to do to make money on the internet is a copy of their latest system. Some of these gurus often appear to imply that your involvement in the process is minimal and that you can make money from internet marketing while you sleep. More like you are invited to sleep walk into yet another money making scheme for the gurus but not for the those that try to buy into the dream. Perhaps we all yearn for the ability to find a magic button which when placed on our website will generate endless streams of cash into our bank account. The reality is that the only way you can ever hope of making money on the internet is by doing a lot of hard work. If you have bought a marketing plan from a reliable source then you should just stick with it. According to statistics more than 90% of would be internet marketers never make past a few sales before they give up. Rome was not built in a day and what you have to realise is that will only get out what you put in. So if you thought that internet marketing consisted of choosing a few affiliate offerings for a website you may be in for a lot of disappointment. Especially if the website consists mainly of copied information from the websites you are running affiliate programs for as these will not rank anywhere with the search engines - period. There are quite a few good programs that will guide you in a sensible and methodical way to making a reliable income on line. The main thing to remember is that any program that promises instant mega riches has to be suspect. As they say if it was easy everyone would be doing it. So yet again you have to find a niche which is of interest to you. You need to research that niche until you are knowledgeable in it. Then you have to promote a product which you feel meets the needs of people in that niche. If you do this and follow all the usual SEO requirements you should find yourself with a profitable result.

Google’s response to article marketing spinners and other dubious SEO techniques

When you think about it Google is always looking for ways to improve its users experience when searching for relevant content.  More and more sophisticated algorithms are being developed  by  Google as it constantly battles with dubious search engine optimisation techniques.  Search engine optimisation methods which are in effect ensuring that the user experience searching for quality and relevant information is less rather than more satisfactory.

Six ways to avoid Google's naughty step

There is no way round it.  If you upset Google in some way you will pay for it by having your blog or website downgraded potentially to the equivalent of outer Siberia.   Here are some of the things for  which Google could penalise your site. Buying links to your website This was once a sure fire way to increase traffic to your site.  Google looks for which sites link to your site and the more links the higher you are rated.  Well that was once but not any more.  Low rated sites linking to your site will have the opposite effect to the one desired.  Good links from high value sites are always good, anything else is bad.  Don't ever buy links! Article Spinning Writing good quality articles is what Google wants, isn't it?  Yes that is true, but unfortunately there was once a time when Google could not tell whether an article on one website was the same as an article on potentially numerous other article spinning sites.  The idea behind article spinning was to write a good
