In my last post Work From Home, Make Money!, I went over the keyword thing some more in an attempt to rank this blog for the from home make money keywords. That experiment was not so successful and proved some things as well, which, in this fast make money ways post, I will share.

The first thing to note is that good keyword density alone is no guarantee of getting up there onto page one of Google’s search pages. Sometimes it works, but not always. I’ve just repeated this experiment in a niche that doesn’t have so much competition as this fast make money ways niche (oh such wanton abuse of those keywords!) and surprised myself a little in that a brand new site using a 3 year old bought domain with almost no content went embarrassingly straight onto page one in its niche.

I wasn’t expecting Google to index it so fast, so didn’t prepare it properly.

All I had was the basic Wordpress theme, an “about” page with a few keyword stuffed lines that I intended to pad out later and a first post that pretty much said welcome to my site which is under construction (I won’t do that again!) and signed off with my keywords. Google duly placed that pile of rubbish straight onto page one for all to see - yep, with the description: “welcome to my site which is under construction…” Guess how much fast make money traffic that attracted! Nada!

I hastily slapped 10 posts worth of content on there to try to repair the damage, but so far in the last three days, the googlebot hasn’t returned to update its cache, so my useless description sits there on page one mocking me…

Ok, that’s how not to do things when the opportunity is there to move into a niche for the kill. Back to fast make money ways and a post mortem as to why this site didn’t get up there for its last keyword assault on this woeful fast make money ways niche.

Simple fact of the matter is the post itself lacked keyword authority in the guise of backlinks with the right keywords in the anchor text. If you go to Google right now and type in “fast make money”, with the quotes, you’ll see sitting up in second spot my Fast Make Money alter ego, Money Hints.

It’s been there for a couple of weeks now and looks like staying put as long as I keep feeding it fast make money keyword rich backlinks from various places.

On the other hand, this site has dropped onto page two for the same fast make money (ways) keywords, because I’ve been concentrating more effort on the other fast make money ways site. You’ll notice that PR has nothing to do with placement here. This site is a PR3 and (fast) Make Money Hints is a PR0. It has everything to do with backlinks and some to do with keyword density and keeping the site tight to a few keywords with multiple posts featuring the fast make money keywords.

As I said earlier, this works better in niches with less competition, especially from other Internet Marketers who, in this fast make money niche, are all trying to out-SEO each other using every trick in the book (and some using the tricks in my own SEO book!)

Ok, not such a long winded Griz style post this time as I simply don’t have time for it - especially as this niche, despite its fast make money name, does not fast make money for me anything like the niches that I’m spending more time in do!

Here’s to fast make money ways in the niches!
