Using WordPress as a website or blog is a fantastic idea and allows for the posting of unique content on the internet every day. The biggest goal for a WordPress owner wanting to make money online is to have as many people as possible reading their articles and then benefiting from them.

WordPress comes with numerous tools and widgets that can make a bloggers life easier, but out of the box, WordPress needs help and WordPress has allowed for that will the utility of additional applications called “Plugins“. These little applications will add additional functions to your website. One of the most popular is “All In One SEO“.

One of the nightmares of owning a monetized website is getting people to our websites. It’s easy to just develop a website and hope for the best, but in every case we have to do some fine tuning to make sure the search engines know what our website is about. This fine tuning is called “Search Engine Optimization” or SEO and WordPress does not allow for more advanced fine tuning other than the use of tags. So just like a mechanic needs a special tool to fine tune or cars, WordPress owners need a tool that allows us to fine tune our web pages. This is were the All In One SEO WordPress plugin comes in handy.

The All In One Seo plugin lets a WordPress owner customize their contents title, description and keywords for easier search ability by the search engines. Basically, by performing this content fine tuning we are making it easier for the search engines to work out what you websites content is about. The better we do this fine tuning the better search results for our websites.

The All In One SEO plugin is used for the optimization of your web pages and blog posts. Once installed and the plugin is activated all you need to do is go to the All In One SEO Administration page, fill in a few fields and you are away. Then each time you a add a post or page to your WordPress website, you will be able to add a custom page title, page description and then keywords and keyword phrases that best describe your post or page.

You will find the required fields underneath the post editor. Usually it is the first field you will come to when you scroll down the page, however if you have other post editing plugins installed you may find that the All In One SEO fields are nearer to the bottom of the page.

All In One SEO features:

• Canonical URLs
• Fine tune Page Navigational Links
• Built-in API so other plugins/themes can access and extend functionality
• Provides SEO Integration for WP e-Commerce sites
• Nonce Security
• Support for CMS-style WordPress installations
• Automatically optimizes your titles for search engines
• Generates META tags automatically
• Avoids the typical duplicate content found on WordPress blogs
• For beginners, you don’t even have to look at the options, it works out-of-the-box. Just install
• For advanced users, you can fine-tune everything
• You can override any title and set any META description and any META keywords you want
• Backward-Compatibility with many other plugins, like Auto Meta, Ultimate Tag Warrior and others.

I was then keen to check Google Australia to see if my keywords had gained ranking on a couple of my other WordPress sites. I did a search for the keyword term wordpress money and found that WordPress Profits was ranked at number 6 in the all web results, with 33,300,000 other pages.

Then I did the same search in the Australian results. Number one using “wordpress money”.  WebSeo was number 1 and my second site net-income came in at number 3. So have been able to secure position one and three for the popular keyword phrase “wordpress money“.

Now what is the point of this post?  Well not much really apart from bragging rights and the knowledge of knowing that I was doing things right with my SEO.

If you want to get similar results, get yourself a copy of my Google 101 ebook. Follow me step by step as i show you how to achieve the same results I get from Google.

Google really does loves WordPress websites!

Maybe I don’t blog as much as I should. But when I do, I get indexed very fast.  I get high rankings, and that brings in a lot of extra traffic to all my sites.

Let me prove it to you right now. Go to Google and Google “earn money with wordpress” (without quotes) and you will see my wordpress site wordpress-profits.com is on the first page. [15/9/2009] And you know what?  This website this is one of the newest sites I own. Yet mine is on first page.

Let me give you another example. Google “wordpress money” (again without quotes) and you will see my wordpress site wordpress-profits.com is on the first page again. [15/9/2009] Yep, Google loves WordPress alright.

But that’s not entirely true. The more accurate statement would be “Google Loves an SEO OPTIMIZED WordPress website”

But let me tell you this.  Most WordPress bloggers can’t do that. They don’t know how. And they are amazed when I say that I do it all the time. It’s no big secret — Their blogs are just not optimized for the search engines.

I can confidently say over 90% of WordPress blogs out there aren’t optimized at all, running at almost default setup.

So if you optimize your blog, you can have an advantage over 90% of the competition.

I know, optimizing WordPress can be a scary thing. It gets really technical, and many (maybe you) are scared of that. Let me tell you this — Optimizing WordPress is dead easy.

Let me show you, step-by-step, how to optimize your WordPress blogs in just minutes. Sure beats paying thousands of dollars to SEO consultants, doesn’t it?

I have heard some consultants charge up to $500 per blog for an optimization service. Geez. it’s not that hard to do!

Save yourself the $480. I’ll show you everything you need to do for just $19.95. If you have more than one blog, you’ll be saving a heaps more.

On the 25th of May I bragged that I was aiming to be the #1 Internet Marketer in Australia. Well today Google has officially told the world that I am  Australia’s #1 Internet Marketer.

I did a search on Google this morning for the search term "australia’s #1 internet marketer" and discovered that my search term was number 1!!!  Have a look at the image above.

If you go back to my original topic Australia’s #1 Internet Marketer you will notice that this really was an experiment in optimising your site and ranking highly in Google. As an Internet Marketer I wanted a search term that would stand out from the crowd of other keywords which I could use to prove my techniques of internet marketing and website promotion work.

Geez I am bloody good!!!

Google is the big boy of free search engine traffic and I spend a lot of my day tweaking and changing sites to get the most free traffic from Google. Here are a few of the steps I take to get indexed by Google fast and to make sure my site/sites get as much traffic as possible.

1. Submit your website sitemap to Google.

   Googlebot flys all over the web looking for new content. Give Googlebot what they want and supply it with a Google verified Google sitemap. They are easy to make. I use a free script like GSiteCrawler  Use the script to make your Google sitemap and then head over to Google sitemaps If you don’t have an account with Google, you will need to open one first. This is a must do.

2. Submit your site to an online market specific directory

   Google loves authority sites. Sites that have a good reputation in a specific market. Find directories that match your market and submit you website to it. Check the html code behind the category page to make sure they don’t have any ‘nofollow" tags. If they do Google will not follow your link, thus not find your site. If the directory dosn’t have "nofollow" tags and the category has some Page Rank, submit your website making sure you use a keyword rich "title". A free piece of software you can use to make this process easy is from Brad Callen called Directory Submit. get yourself a copy and get to work. If your completely lazy and want to pay someone to do it for you, I can fully recommend the directory submission service at SeoShop

3. Write 3 articles and submit them to Isnare

   7% of all my traffic to Horse Racing Systems (a new niche site of mine) comes from article marketing. I write 3 articles a week about horse racing systems and software and then submit it to ISnare for distribution. Isnare is one of the few article submission sites I trust and i do get 100′s of uniques from articles I have sent to them. An article keyword optimised for your market not only attracts free traffic from readers but will also get Googles attention especially if all your hyperlinks are keywords specific to your site. So write 3 articles on your market. For example you have a website about cats, write 3 interesting articles about cat care and then submit them to ISnare

   I use the http://www.isnare.com service and submit 1 new article every 3 days for 15 days.

I can’t go into too much detail here, well not yet, but once i have proved that I am Australias #1 Internet Marketer, not just because I say so, but one of worlds authority sites will also tell you I am Australias #1 Internet Marketer.

By now you might be saying to yourself that this blokes full of himself! I might be, but I recon within weeks I will get this authority site proving to the World that I am Australias #1 Internet Marketer.
