The Best Make Money Online Information You Will Ever Find!

Blogger Unleashed There are thousands of make money online blogs on the internet. Some of them are very well known and we all visit them frequently, but if you really think about it, most of them don't really give much money making information that we can actually use.

There is now a blogger who has changed that. His name is Vic and his blog is called Blogger Unleashed. The name fits perfectly because he truly is like a hungry rabid dog that has been "unleashed" and is now tearing up the make money online niche.

Some words that come to mind when I think of Vic and his Blogger Unleashed blog are: Informative, Useful, Valuable, Entertaining, Real, Honest, Blunt, and Brutal.

This guy holds nothing back when it comes to giving real money making advice. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, he just tells it like it is.

If you are easily offended then maybe this blog isn't for you, because Vic is not shy about dropping four letter words, usually beginning with F, or calling out other bloggers for giving false or flat out stupid information. But he cuts through the crap and gives online money making tips that most well-known blogger won't give.

I've been an internet marketer for almost 5 years and I make a pretty darn good living online. I thought I pretty much knew it all when it comes to making money online but Vic's posts have shown me that I definitely did not! He has taught me more in the past couple months than all the other blogs, forums, and information products combined have in the past year.

Actually he is probably pissing off a lot of so called "experts" and top bloggers because he is giving away all the online money making secrets for free.

I was going to list some of my favorite posts from Blogger Unleashed here but as I started going through them I realized there are just too many great ones and the list would have been too long. So I suggest going through his archives and finding your own favorites.

Be sure to read the comments under each post because even the comments on most of his posts are a goldmine for money making information you can use.

Why Blogger Unleashed is not on the 45n5.com top 100 make money online blogs list is beyond me. You could easily make the argument that it is the #1 make money online blog, and I don't think anyone would disagree that it's at least one of the top blogs.

Update: I was contacted by the owner of 45n5.com after he read this post and he has now added Blogger Unleashed to the Top 100 Make Money Online Blogs list.

To put everything I said above into one sentence...

You'd be wise to save Blogger Unleashed in your favorites and visit it often!

Reciprocal Links Aren't Dead - Stop Believing This Crap!

Reciprocal Linking is a topic that I have been meaning to write about for a long time but never have for one reason or another.

One of my favorite bloggers, Courtney Tuttle, posted on the subject of exchanging links in a recent post, Building Authority With Blogroll/Sitewide Link Exchange.

So I figured this is the perfect time for me to put in my thoughts about reciprocal linking and confirm what Court discussed in his post.

Just about everywhere you read these days you will find the "experts" saying that reciprocal linking (exchanging links) is dead. I am here to tell you that is NOT true!

Sure it might not be as effective as it once was but that doesn't mean it's dead and doesn't work at all anymore.

Think about it, when you exchange links you are still getting an inbound link from another website and search engines do like inbound links. It's not as good as a site simply linking to you without a reciprocal link, but it's better than nothing.

I know this for a fact because I have built very high search engine rankings for many of my websites and blogs, and a large part of how that happened was through reciprocal linking.

Plus, high search engine rankings are not the only way to get traffic to a website. There is still a little thing called humans who click links on one site to take them to another site. Doing link exchanges with other sites gives you a link on their site that people can click on to visit your site.

Now don't go reciprocal linking with any site that will accept your link exchange request. That method certainly does not work anymore! If you want to use reciprocal linking to your advantage then you must only exchange links with quality sites that are somewhat related to yours.

What does that last paragraph mean?

I suppose "quality" is a relative term and will be seen differently in each individual. However, you can usually tell a quality site fairly easily. Does it provide any useful content? Is it loaded with ads and not much substance? Is it ranked in search engines? Does it have any PR? Are they spammy? What kinds of sites do they link to? Etc... Look at these factors and you will be able to determine how quality a site is.

As for "related" that is very easy to define. Basically that just means that you don't want to be exchanging links with sites that have nothing to do with the topic of your site. If your site teaches people how to make money online then you don't want to do link exchanges with sites about dog training. They have nothing to do with each other. Instead, you will want to exchange links with sites about home business, working at home, internet income, making money, and others similar to these topics.

One more thing you want to be sure of when reciprocal linking is that your links have a good anchor text on them. Again if your site is about making money online then you want that for your anchor text instead of your name or simply the URL of your home page. For example, my home page is http://www.work-at-home-jobs-iowa.com and my site is about home business so I would want my reciprocal link on their site to look like this - home business. Doing so will help you improve your search engine rankings for your keywords and will also tell any potential visitor what your site is about.

Before I end, I want to send you to another post on one of my favorite internet marketing blogs. It is also about link building. It's not actually about doing direct reciprocal linking but something similar with a different twist. Here you go: Link Building - Leveraging Pre-Existing Sites to Build Authority

Online Home Business Goals for 2008

Let me first start this post by wishing you all a very happy new year!

Since about the middle of December I have not been online very much at all with the holidays, vacations, and just flat out laziness (yes I can admit it). I apologize for the lack of posting but I am back now and will be regularly updating with free home business tips and online money making advice just like I always have.

What I want to talk about in this post is business goals for 2008. What I plan to accomplish with my business this year and also where you want to take your business.

In 2007 I focused mainly on creating info products and getting my existing home business sites more authority and higher search engine rankings. This year I plan to focus more on building new websites and niche blogs.

I have been reading a lot of Vic's posts over at Blogger Unleashed and Grizzly's posts at How to Make Money Online, and they have put a whole new perspective on where I want to take my online business.

Up until now I have mainly focused on topics such as; home based business, work at home, make money online and other similar niches. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that, I have built a very profitable online business that I am extremely proud of. However, these are some of the hardest niches to build a profitable online business in and they take a lot of hard work to get anywhere.

Thanks to all the great advice from Vic and Grizzly, this year I will be spending more time expanding into other niches that are much easier to profit in with a lot less work. Of course, I will continue in the make money online niche as I always have, but will not put all my effort towards it.

Doing this will take my online business to new heights. By focusing on smaller, easier, and more profitable niches, I should be able to at least double my profits from last year without working much more than I do now.

So, where do you want to take your online business this year? Have you thought about it? If not, it's time to sit down and figure out what you want to accomplish in 2008.

Get started on it right now! This is very important to your online business success. Running into the new year without a plan or any specific goals will only leave you disappointed next December when you realize your home business didn't grow and your profits are slim.

Here's to a profitable year for all of you in 2008!

Dedicated to your online business success,
