If you are serious about making money online you should start to use and search keywords. Because no matter how original is the content you write, if you don’t use the key words that people use to find what they are looking for, your site will not be on the first results of the search engines.
Most webmasters were using the Overture keyword tool. But since last year this tool doesn’t work any more. Of course it was a very good free keyword tool but now, most of the time it is down.
So I suggest that you forget about it, unless you read one day that it is back and working again.
So where you should search keywords? Well, there are many keyword tools out there but the problem is that they use Overture to get the results. The best keyword tool right now is Wordtracker and you can get a 7 free trial. Of course they have a free version, which they don’t advertise. The free keyword tool by Wordtracker is very stable and fast. The keywords you get are from Dogpile and Metacrawler. This should be you Number 1 option for finding search engine keywords.
Of course, there are many alternatives out there, but most of these keyword tools are not free.
I will place here some free keywords tools that are stable and work fine. But you should remember that most of them simply will show the top keywords from Wordtracker.
Free online advertising is something many webmasters are looking for. My friend Nick, has a good free advertising service called Adgridwork.com. This free marketing service will help you to promote your website even if you don’t have a marketing plan. How it works? Well, it’s very similar to Adsense ads. After you sign up, you create your advertising campaign. You choose the layout, colors, keywords, target website etc. After you create your ad, the system will give you a Java code so you can place it on your site. Once you do that, Adgridwork will start showing ads from other members on your site. But your ad will also be shown on other members websites. If you don’t place the code on your website your ad will be inactive.
Not only you don’t have to pay but you can actually make money with this internet marketing service. All you have to do is convert the free traffic you will get in free money.
There are many ways to make money online but the most popular way is make money with Google Adsense. If you have Adsense ads on your website you can choose to have not contextual ads from Adgridwork so you will be OK with the Adsense TOS. Take a look at Adgridwork and you will see that it is a good resource for free advertising.
If you want to make money online, it would be a good idea to have an Autoresponder. Now, most people I know use Aweber and GetResponse. And they are both very good email marketing services. But they cost money! This would not be a problem if you already are a moneymaker, but what if you just starting your try to make money online?
Well, after a lot of searching for a free email marketing solution, I finally found one.
It’s name is Zookoda. I think Zookoda.com is the best free email marketing service. Actually, I think it is the only website offering real free bulk email marketing service.
You see, there are some sites out there who claim to offer free targeted email marketing, but they do not! Usually this is a trial. All you can do is send an email at 20 – 100 opt in leads. And that’s it!
If you want to use all the features you have to pay. Maybe Zookoda is not as good as Aweber and GetResponse, but hey, you can’t have it all. After all it’s free!
The only problem you might have with Zookoda is that they disabled the option to import your opt in list. When I sent them an email about this, they told me that they had to do it because many people were abusing the system and used it to send spam.
So, you have to build your opt in list from the beginning. All you have to do is add the HTML code they give you at your website or blog.
