Ok this post is going to be for people who aren’t making money online, or are making very little. Those of you who are doing just fine, you may be interested too, but if not, just ignore it.
Let’s begin.
Go to www.thirtydaychallenge.com and join. Its free. There you will find a link to my favorite keyword software, Market Samurai. By getting it through this site, you will get a promotion code for a free 40 day trial.
By the way if you haven’t gone through the 30 day challnege before, I highly recommend it. And that is not an affiliate link.
After you’ve downloaded Market Samurai and opened it, you are asked to pick a keyword. Pick a general keyword related to a Clickbank product, or an Amazon product.
If you are not an Amazon affiliate, join here.
If you are not a Clickbank affiliate, join here.
Now back to Market Samurai. For this demonstration, I’ll pick a general category in Clickbank and go with the keyword “forex”.
Market Samurai will create a project for you called forex. On the next page, click on the keyword research tab. On the next page don’t do anything except click “generate keywords”.
A captacha will popup to fill out.
Next click “analyze keywords” at the bottom right of the page.
On the next page under “organic” click the plus sign next to “total searches” and set the minimum to 100.
Under “Competition”, click the plus sign next to SEOC and set the maximum to 100,000.
Under “Commerciality”, click the plus sign and set the minimum to 50.
Now review the remaining keywords. Look for the one with the most searches combined with the least competition, combined with the highest OCI.
You can click on the searches column to sort highest to lowest, and you can also do the same with OCI and SEOC.
Say you’ve decided to target the keyphrase “forex auto robot” (i’m just making this one up)
So what you do is go to godaddy and buy the domain name forexautorobot.com or .net or .org
If none of those 3 are available, I scrap this keyword and pick the next best one. Its very important for (easy) SEO purposes to have the keyword as your domain, and it can only be .com, .net. or .org. I’ve tested .tv and .info and neither have worked as well for me. If the domains are not available, pick a different keyword from market samurai that looks good and keep doing so until you find one that has a domain available.
OK so once you’ve gotten the domain, next you need to get a “baby” hosting plan at Host Gator for $7.95/month.
This account will allow you to host unlimited sites. It will be the only hosting account you need.
Now once you’ve purchased your hosting plan, you will be given an email with login info to your “cpanel”. This is where you control your hosting account.
Now log into it and go down to the bottom left and it will show you the “nameservers” for you account. Usually something like ns2406.hostgator.com and ns2407.hostgator.com. Write these down.
Now go to godaddy and login. Go to “my domains” and click on the forexautorobot.com domain you just bought. Now click on the link in the toolbar above it called “name servers”. This is where you will change the nameservers to those you copied from your Host Gator account.
In about 20 minutes your domain will now be linked to your hosting account. Now you don’t have to deal with godaddy anymore.
Go back to your hosting cpanel. Near the bottom, there will be a section called “Software/Services”.
Click on “Fantastico Delux”
Now on the next page on the left click “Wordpress”.
Next choose “new installation”.
Now choose your domain to install to in the drop down menu.
Leave the directory field blank.
Choose your username and password, email address, etc.
Then click “install wordpress”.
You now can go to your site such as forexautorobot.com and you will see that you have a basic wordpress blog installed perfectly on your site.
Now go to forexautorobot.com/wp-admin
Log in using the username and password you selected a minute ago.Now you are in your site’s wordpress admin area.
Now scroll down and on the bottom left under the “settings” tab, click general.
Edit your general settings to something like:
Title: Forex auto robot (your main keyword)
Tagline: forex auto robot is awesome because…
Save the changes.
Now under the “settings” tab again on the bottom left, click on permalinks.
Edit Permalink Settings to the following:
/%postname%/
This makes your posts appear as:
www.forexautorobot.com/how to make money with forex auto robot/
Instead of the default which is forexautorobot.com/p=42345
Much more search engine friendly.
Save changes.
Next go to the “pages” tab on the left side of your wordpress admin.
Here you can edit the About page and call it something like “Disclosure” or “Compensation Disclosure”. On this page you simply need to write a paragraph explaining that some of the links on your site may result in you being paid a commission. No big deal. Almost nobody will read it, yet it will make your site compliant with the new FTC rules.
Next, go to the “settings” tab in your wordpress admin and click “privacy”. Make sure there is a tick mark next to “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers”. (I’ve forgotten this one a few times, and if you forget it, you’re screwed)
Next go to the “appearance” tab on the left side of the wordpress admin. Click “add new themes”.
Now you can search for any kind of theme you want, for a much better looking blog. Once you find one that looks good to you, click download/install.
Then go back to the “appearance” tab and click “themes”. You will now see your current theme and below it will say “available themes”. This is where the one you just picked will be located. Under it, click activate.
Now go to your site “forexautorobot.com” and you will see it has the new theme installed and viewable to the public.
Now click the back button to go back to your wordpress admin.
Next go to the tab on the left of your wordpress admin and click on “posts”. Here you should delete the standard “hello world” post and get ready to make a new one, which will be your first article about forex auto robot. Obviously with your affiliate link in it.
You can either write the article yourself or pay someone to do it at Articlez.com which has good American writers for $6-$8 per article.
With the new FTC laws in effect, instead of pre-selling a product I’ve never used, or “reviewing” it as an authority, what I like to do is write a “review of reviews”.
For example, I’ll look at 5 other good reviews about the product and sum them up into my own review, along the lines of something like:
“4 out of 5 Amazon customers stated that they absolutely loved this TV, but 2 of them were not so thrilled about the remote because it eats up batteries like crazy, blah blah blah”. Then expand on exactly what the customers said. I like to create reviews of reviews, that include pros and cons, with cons that aren’t really that bad. Something that’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, but makes the reader feel like you aren’t trying to “sell” them, and you are being honest in your review. People are smarter now when they read product reviews, so treat them as such, and respect them. I can’t stress enough how important this is.
If you don’t want to write the review yourself, simply copy and paste the above paragraph to your writer at Articlez.com, and have them do it. They take instructions well.
Once you have your article, add it to your Wordpress post with your affiliate link at the end and click “publish”.
Now go to your site and you will see you have a nice looking blog with your article on it.
Now go to pingomatic.com and ping your site’s url. (forexautorobot.com)
Pinging the url notifies Google that it exists, and gets Google to start indexing/ranking your site.
Next, post 2 more articles to your blog over the next 2 days, each tightly themed around your keyword (forex auto robot). Ping your site again each time you have a new post, using Pingomatic.
3 posts should be enough for your site.
Now get a few backlinks back to your site using the same keyword as your anchor text in the link. Put up a job on GetaFreelancer.com and hire someone to add 50-100 backlinks to your site that are PR5 or better. Tell them to use Angelas backlinks or Pauls backlinks. They will know what you mean. When they are done, make them give you the exact publicly viewable url’s of each backlink they create for you. I’ve found that people will create these links for you for $20 per 50 backlinks.
Once the job is done (it shouldn’t take them more than 2-3 days) go to pingomatic.com and ping the urls of each backlink they created for you – but only ping 10 of them a day. 50-100 in one day may seem too spammy to Google for a new website. You may even be better off just pinging 3-5 of them a day.
Now create an account at digg.com and “Digg” your own site. You should also “digg” the urls where your backlinks are – again maybe only digg 3-5 of them per day. You can also outsource this process to someone on GetaFreelancer.com
Make note of each of the the public digg pages that show each of your diggs.Now go back to pingomatic and ping those digg urls too. Again maybe only 3-5 of them a day.
You are now golden and should never have to touch this site again or do anything else. It should be ranked highly in Google for your keyphrase within one week and create passive income for you every month. Not all of them will be bigtime winners, but the majority will.
This method CANNOT fail, especially if you do this will several sites/keywords every week.
Make one of these sites every day and follow the steps outlined above. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours per site, and each one should bring you a few hundred dollars in residual income every month for many years to come.
If a site ever starts to slip in the rankings after you are in the top 10, or they don’t quite make the top 10, but get close, just get a few more backlinks and write an additional post and do all of that pinging stuff again.
Never add more than 10 backlinks per day or your site may be penalized because it is too new. This is important to remember.
There are a few additional “plugins” available inside of wordpress to make your site even more Google friendly such as “SEO All in One”, but it’s not really necessary in my opinion. Just get the sites up as I’ve said above and you should be fine. You can always add plugins later if you want to.
Anytime you want to add a new site, make sure you go into godaddy and change its nameservers to your hostgator nameservers. Then log into your hostgator cpanel and under “domains” click “add-on domain”. Then just type in the domain and pick a password. Then go to fantastico and install wordpress on it and repeat the whole process above.
Any questions, feel free to ask. This process isn’t perfect or even potentially the best way to do things, but it’s easy, and I’ve tested it, and it’s what I give my friends who ask about making money online and have no experience. You may have a better way, or tweaks that work a little better. If so, great! Feel free to share.
Take Care,

P.S. You can also find your own high quality .edu and .gov backlinks without relying on “Angela/Paul” links if you want. Just go to Google and type in things like:
site:.edu inurl:wp-login.php +blog
site:.gov inurl:wp-login.php +blog
site:.mil inurl:wp-login.php +blog
site:.edu inurl:”wp-admin” +login
site:.edu “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”
site:.gov “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”
site:.gov +blog +create +user
site:.gov +blog +create +profile
inurl:edu|gov “no comments” +blogroll -”posting closed” -”you must be logged in” -”comments are closed”
Manipulate the above techniques in various ways. Just in a few minutes the other day I found 4 .gov and 5 .edu links this way, and they only had a few links on them. One of them had zero links. Now it has one 
Also go to google and type in “backlinks”.
You will see a goarticles.com article listed in the top 5 by “Angela.
The url is http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=1151743
Now go to http://www.backlinkwatch.com and put her url in the form and submit it. It will show you all of the places she gets her own backlinks from.
All that matters to get ranked highly is unique content, the right keyword density, and high quality backlinks with the right anchor text. That’s really it.
And if you don’t want to deal with creating your own site, simply post a unique “review of reviews” article on ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com and then link lots of Angela/Paul backlinks or similar links to it. Even if you get 100 or 500 good links overnight, Google won’t ban you or think anything suspicious because those sites get thousands of new backlinks every day.
Just do this stuff EVERY DAY. In a few months your life will have changed. Its not rocket science, and its not hard. And you don’t need to buy any ebooks or courses to do this. Many of the most successful businesses and people in the world have figured out how to do something very simple that makes them money. And they do it over and over and over again. It doesn’t need to be groundbreaking or hard. It just needs to work. And this does.
