SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Ok, now that I have a website with Google Adsense, I've been trying to get a handle on this whole "Internet Marketing" stuff for the past few hours. There are just tons of information and my eyes are hurting right now. Here are the findings:

Internet Marketing is all about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and PPC (Pay-Per-Click). I personally like SEO better just because I guess you don't have to "pay" per each click. That is just crazy, that's what I'm trying to do, you know what I mean? Plus, I heard about 70% of all people using search engine clicks on the SEO links rather then the Google Adword on the side.

With that said, I have been digging all over Google and Yahoo about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and so far, all I have is that you can hire someone to increase your rank or you can optimize your website yourself by using meta tags and right phrases and keywords.

For example on this article, just because I used the word SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Internet Marketing, I'm thinking that Adsense related to those keyword should pop-up.

You know what, let's check that... let me post this and I'll be back.

Adsense incorporated with Blogger

This is very cool... Here are the finding, so far.

1. What is Adsense? = I have learned this through www.youtube.com, it has tons of videos about what Adsense is and video blog of people's story on them. I eventually found out that I need a content website. Content on the website will drive better traffic throught usage of keywords opposed to a e-commerce site with bunch of picture and less text. (Good Tip: I do want to focus on content that I know most and like.
2. I need a website = I am not a webmaster and I have never designed a website before, so I thought I go out and just buy one. I spent some time searching on Google and Yahoo to find a way to put together a website quick and I ended up on eBay. eBay had tons of sellers selling website for very cheap and they already had Google Adsense on them. But I could not find a website with my interest of content. Then I thought about my current Blog with wordpress. I am a seminary student and I use Wordpress to post my writings on them, and came across an article that had to do with incorporating Wordpress with Google Adsense. After few phone calls to Wordpress, Google and Godaddy (hosting company I use), I found out that Google owns Blogger and they might have better integration compatibility with Blogger!!!
3. So I sign-up with Blogger and started putting together this content you're reading here. By the way, this content got all started with WordPress and I transferred it here. Now, here is the nice surprise. Playing with my Blog's admin page, I stumbled on a widget section where it provided all these cool widgets that I can put on my Blog such as calendar, archive, etc, etc, etc... and toward the bottom, I found Google Adsense. Do you see them on the side and the bottom? I am so tempted to click on them right now.
4. What's next? = I think now I really need to drive traffic. Hmmmm..... How do I do that???

Stay toned...

It starts here.

I have heard of people making a nice passive income through Google Adsense. I have no idea what Google Adsense is yet, but I am going to find out very soon and will be documenting my findings here.

I think it will help me stay organized and at the same time I'm hoping that it might be a helpful content for somebody who might be in my position in the future.

So, let the game begin....

PS. Oh, and if you want to venture on this with me together to create some synergy we can both leverage, feel free to give me a call.
