It Should Be Called “Make Money With Google”
July 11th, 2009
If you are trying to make money online then there is one thing in particular that you need to know before you get started and that is the importance of Google in your efforts to succeed. When people talk about making money online what they are pretty much always talking about is trying to make money with Google. How can this be true I hear you shout incredulously? Well, whether we like it or not Google runs a large portion of the Internet. Their search engine accounts for over 70% of all the searches done in the USA and a massive 87% in the UK. This means that if you want to make money online you are going to have to learn to love Google, and I know that’s not always very easy for various reasons which I will go into in a future post.
We have to take advantage of the fact that Google has a virtual monopoly on the search market by building our sites in a manner that Google likes to encourage it to put us closer to the top of the SERPs. You can go this in two ways, the first is the black hat method which attempts to trick the Google algorithm into believing our site is more relevant and important than it is. I don’t recommend taking this course of action if you want to be making money online over the long haul because the people working for Google are pretty clever and if you can’t keep ahead of the game they are going to catch you eventually and punish you for your insubordination 
The way most professionals approach search engine optimization is generally from a white hat perspective with a little bit of gray thrown in for good measure. In an ideal world we would be able to follow the Google guidelines for getting sites ranked better and the best site would win. Unfortunately, in the real world this doesn’t work because no one else is playing by the rules, so we have to bend them a little ourselves if we are to keep up.
Regardless of how you do it, making Google love your sites is the key to getting the traffic which in turns puts the moneys in your account.
I have added adsense to my blog for the past six months and my account balance is at about $10, is this normal or what ?
