Your Website Will Make Money If

0 comments Published Thursday, December 18, 2008 by bloggerblognet83460.

It wasn't long ago that I created my first website. I remember how excited I was about all the money I was going to make when I uploaded it to the world wide web. Yipee I thought, I'll have a ton of extra cash in no time.

I put the website up and waited. I waited and waited and yes, waited. The money didn't start flying in. Hmmm, maybe I need traffic I thought. So I purchased 10,000 hits to my site.

Allright, 10,000 hits will make me some money, right? Wrong. I paid money for nothing. The traffic was not targeted at all. In fact I'm not exactly sure who visited my website. That was just part of the problem. I'd like to outline four things that you need in order to have a website that produces income.

These aren't the only areas that will help you make money with your site, but they are a must in my opinion.

Targeted Niche

You become effective by being selective. This is an important truth when it comes to having a money making website. You need to figure out who your target audience is and choose a domain and add content based on them.

Don't put anything that isn't related to your target market. Do include helpful articles, videos and affiliate products that match your niche.

Tracking

As you begin to grow your website, you're visitors will increase. You need to know where these visitors are coming from and also where they aren't. If you see a lot of visitors coming from a key term or place that you are advertising your site, you know that's a good one to stick with. If you aren't pulling traffic for a key term or advertising place, then you know to beef it up a little more or pull out completely.

SEO

Ah, the dreaded Search Engine Optimization. This is a gray and sometime mystical set of words that some people shudder at when they hear. It's really not that hard and someone can learn a ton of great and easy to use lessons by just typing "free seo training" into google. You will find some great lessons that will help you set up your site to show up in the organic listings.

In Demand Product with good ad copy.

You must have a way to monetize your website. There are all kinds of ways to do this. You can allow google to place ads on your site and they will pay you each time someone clicks. Or you can go to affiliate companies like clickbank and find products to market on your site. The key here is to find something that sells and has suggestions for ad copy for your site.

I hope this short lesson will help you as you begin building a money making website!
