Getting Ranked on the First Page

I have been marketing online for over a year now with little luck. I have done everything from promoting affiliate programs on traffic sites to making my own websites. That was all well and good. I started reading up on this subject of getting ranked on the first page of Google. One main mistake I was making was to promote affiliate programs directly with their pages. Now I have created a website just for promoting affiliate programs that work. However, I couldn't get any traffic, at not free traffic which is the most profitable. While reading up on the subject I kept running into this SEO products such as optimizing your site for Key words on your site. This is what I started working on. First, I had to pick a set of keys words that got enough traffic on google and didn't have a lot of competition. I did this for free on google, and I picked Stay at Home Mom's Business Opportunity I then had to go back and add those keywords on my website in different locations; like the title, title of links, body of text in the website, the more the merrier.
I wasn't finished there, I then had to go and add backlinks to my site. You just add your site address in hundreds of directories and I mean hundreds, then start writing articles using your keywords and submitting those to directories. I had enter articles to two sites a day for the last month. This is a lot of work, but is free traffic. There is services out there that will do this for a fee, but when you are on a budget, do the work yourself. The nice thing about this is yesterday my site was ranked on the first page on google with my keywords. Wow!

Dotcomology

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.
