Make Money Online
One mistake that webmasters make is thinking that after the completion of their first website it will make enough to support their online needs. There are a few websites that I have seen which have enough to them to support not only one, but many different webmaster the problem is with most sole webmasters this is not enough. If you create a single blog or website that is of average size 40-50 pages and begin basic internet marketing you will find the restrictive nature of only having one presence. First off when trying to gain links to a specific post or the main home page you will have nowhere to turn, but if you set up a few squidoo lenses and hub pages finding a couple quick one way backlinks for your website becomes much easier. When you are out on the web internet marketing you will usually come across websites that are social and allow you to set up profiles. I have found these types of websites very beneficial when trying to grow an online brand. When you are trying to build a business online or brand you will need to be everywhere possible and really focus on hitting your target not only through SEO, but also social medias.
When webmasters attempt to expand their online business by the creation of more unique web presences they sometimes have no idea where to start. Some of the most common places that webmasters increase their online presence I suggested in the previous paragraph (squidoo and hubpages). If you market your online business with article marketing then you have noticed that the article websites usually want you to sign up. Usually you will be able to write a bio, add a picture, and on advanced article websites such as Ezine articles you will be able to add twitter link, facebook link, and a youtube link. You can only add these links if you are in the social online world and being social online these days is mandatory for any webmaster that wants to be successful.
If you are a webmaster, but have no online portfolio which includes social media then the four websites that you will want to begin building your social presence with are facebook, twitter, youtube (buy a twenty dollar web cam and talk about your niche), and big social bookmarking websites like digg. If you are new to the online social world you will find out quickly that if you spam you lose your social power. The best way to succeed with an online social brand building campaign is to interact and try to help, be funny, or unique. These three things are great for all the social presences that I listed previously and will help you succeed in your online business. Remember the most important thing to learn about being a webmaster is the only ones that fail are the ones that give up and if you would like to learn more about marketing your business feel free to visit this internet marketing forum.

Content Creation is Important to Web Development
When I began my online business career which is about how to make money online I was told one thing by many different webmasters and bloggers which was “backlinks rank your website within major search engines”. Well this is not exactly true and in most cases backlinks only have a small effect on where a website will be placed. If you go into the news niche up against major companies such as cnn and forbes you will find that constant update of fresh content is much more important than gaining new text links. I am guessing if the content on the news site is good enough the story will be linked to from related blogs trying to provide their readers within informative content as well as major websites within the niche. Now if you are in a more static niche such as literature, history, or something similar where there is not always new news then backlinks from authoritative websites will be what drives websites to the top of search engines. In most cases though it will be a mix of the two content creation and link development.
A problem with quite a few webmasters and bloggers is they are not sure the amount of content they should be adding to their website. Personally I have found when blogging 5-14 weekly posts is suitable to sustain enough content to keep a blog on top of Google. When creating content write about things you think people will want to look up such as how tos and list of. These kind of titles are typed into Google all the time and if you get a post to the top of Google for a well searched term then you will see a good jump in traffic. Another important thing to do when working on a blog or other web presence is make sure that the URL is well SEO’d. What this means is if you have a blog in your control panel make sure that you pick the permalink that shows the post title rather than just a bunch of random characters. If you have a website then when saving make sure to give relevant names to the folders and save the file with the title of the subpage rather than something like page1. If you put the title which should be the search term for the page it will have a much better chance for ranking high within the serps.
Now after you create content and post it on your blog or website that is not it. Content is one of the greatest marketing tools on the web today and if you want to get loyal readers or visitors then content marketing is a must. There are many different places which you can gain exposure for your work. After the completion and publication of your article on your presences the next step will be publishing your work on top article directories and using social bookmarking. Websites such as digg let you submit every article you create and as long as it is good quality you will probably gain some votes and traffic. You can also use forums within your niche and let people know if for example you write an article on internet marketing you could come to my internet marketing forum post a link and a description and ask the members what they think about it.

The Best Link Creation Method
As a webmaster who is driven by the want to succeed with search engines and really make money online there is one thing that I have found beats out most others and that is link creation. When I started my online career I did not care where I got the links so I began submitting to any website that would accept URL’s including link farms and ffa pages. Well this quickly lead to my website being banned (pretty much the worst thing a webmaster can experience). I did not know what to do so I started a new website dedicated to the same niche “make money online”. Rather than repeat the same mistake I took a few months and read everything I could about the correct method of link creation and white hat internet marketing. I had no idea there was a right and wrong path when you are trying to get to the top of Google and I was a little irritated by the fact that Google only liked websites that had links from relevant high authority websites.
The webmaster forums were a great way to start the search for relevant high authority one way links. I asked all the experienced webmasters and every time I got two answers on how to accomplish this task. The first way to accomplish this is to become an authority within my niche the person everyone looks at when they want to find out something about making money online. This was even more depressing since I was in such a populated niche there would be a very unrealistic chance of me climbing above the rest. The second answer I got was create link bait. I found that I did not have to be the expert of a niche to be linked to, but no matter what I needed content worthy of linking to. There are many ways to create link bait some good others can lead to more problems than they are worth.
When you are trying to create link bait keep in your mind what you would link to as well as what would be extremely unique and very hard to duplicate. One of the best ways to create link bait is to be the first to report. If someone searches for news within a niche and you already have a blog post before everyone else then people will find your post within the SERPs and if the news is important enough they will place a link from their blog or website to the piece. The second way to create link bait is when writing make sure to do your research. A good example of this is when I tested which gave more traffic Digg or Stumble Upon. This post took around 3 days to produce with all the stats and the content was linked to very quickly (on the other hand if you do not do research then your credibility will be quickly wrecked and no one will link to you). The last way to create link bait which has worked for me is large lists. Everyone especially webmasters and bloggers want lists of resources so on my blog I made sure to have a post with 500 article directories and a post with 100 social bookmarking websites. I found that these posts by themselves acquired their own page rank. So if you are looking to gain high quality backlinks be sure to create content worth linking to.
