The top 10 Make Money Online Tips for making money with websites.
- Build quality links – Build links to your sites every day. Do site link exchanges, use do follow social bookmarks, comment on do follow blogs, submit your sites to directories, post articles in article directories, build hubs or squidoo’s, any of these techniques work, but you have to do them often. The more links your site has the more traffic you will get from search engines.
- Write or get fresh original content for your sites. Fresh content is gold, but it must be original. You don’t need to post every day, but posting more often does encourage more visits from search engine spiders. I don’t post to this site often enough, so I am a hypocrite.
- Research keywords that will get traffic, and optimise your content for these keywords.i.e. use those keywords in your article title, body text, and for the anchors of incoming links.
- Select niches that will make you money. Sure writing about blogging tips might be fun, but it won’t make you money.
- Don’t jump on band wagons. People that write e-books will sell you anything. Most of it isn’t worth the hard drive space it wastes on your PC. Find out what works for you, and stick to it. Stop trying to find the next big thing, make more content and get more backlinks. Everything else is just distracting you from making money.
- Select appropriate monetization for your content. Adsense earns me a nice check each month, but I wouldn’t use it on all my sites. For example use Adsense on sites where you get a lot of search traffic for targeted keywords. Use affiliate links or Ebay Partner Network for product related sites.
- If you can’t think of an article to write for your niche, research some good keywords that have good traffic potential and create articles around each of them.
- A pretty site might get you an RSS subscriber or a tweet follower, but it may not increase your click through rates. Simple design, with well placed ads are more important than bells and whistles.
- Research your content. Read other blogs about the same topic. Use them to inform your content. They don’t have to be your competition, they may also make great link partners.
- Build quality links to your sites. It really is that important so I am going to say it again. I define a quality link as a link that’s from a relevant, related source, that is anchored using a keyword that you are targeting for traffic from search engines.
Hope these help. It’s not that hard to make good money online, but it does take time and effort.

All good tips, but you missed one of the most important ones: build a list. By building an e-mail list and feeding it with useful content, you can develop a following of people who are ready to buy your products or affiliate products.
Good point Barbara, I know a lot of people make very good money building lists. My online goal is to make passive income, I like money to come in when I am not working. For this reason building a list doesn’t appeal to me, although I know it works great for many.
