After reading Grizz and Vics articles on SEO about getting to the top for do ants scratch there ass phrase I was just wondering how Grizz outranked Vic for do ants scratch there ass and was curious if I could get to the top of the list with do aunts scratch there ass. If I manage to get to the top I'll be learned a lesson that could prove to valuable in the future Well I managed to reach the top of the page for do aunts scratch there ass but I am not even on the first page with the results for do ants scratch there ass. Now while this is interesting it's really getting under my skin as I guess I haven't got a damned clue as to how the search engines rank things. I have a good idea if if I put do ants scratch there ass in here too many more time I'm going to get busted for keyword stuffing ,which should pretty much end my carreer as an interent marketer before I even get started. well I didn't get busted for anything ,,even made it to the top for aunts scratching there ass . so I was wondering just how well I could do making money with brain surgery

what does SEO have to do with making money blogging ?
SEO stands for search engine optimization.
And why is this important for making money ? Well when everything works out just right the search engines read your pages , picks up on the keywords that are on your site and decides where your site should be listed in the SERPs for a particular search someone does.
In order for you to make any money doing this "without costing a buttload for keyword advertising" you need to rank high in the search engines for something that people actually want when they do a search.This way you can get your site seen on the first page for a search result and get some traffic to your site.It all makes perfect sense when you think about it ,it's just like in the real world.Content is your product , your website is your store,The guy that built his store first had the option of the best location. Now you come along with a store selling the same product but you have to be on one of the side roads leading away from the mall. If you want people to come to your store you have to try a little harder than he does. Better product,cheaper price , better customer relations,more advertising, what ever it takes to get some of his business, If everything goes good and you work really hard at it you'll own his store, and he'll be down the street from the mall struggling to get business. That's how you make money in the real world too, right?
Now here's where even the "big dogs" seem to have a little conflict,which is, by the way great for us newbies because we get to hear all of the arguments from both sides of the fence.
SEO consists of on page and off page optimization
On page optimizing (your product)means you want to make sure you use a relevant title for your blog
Use keywords in your posts titles and use keywords in your content.
Off page optimizing(your advertising) involves getting links from other sites.
The best links come from relevant sites with a good PR and are content links using keywords you are targeting. (This might be a problem)
What I gather from all of this is :

What I gather from all of this is :
- Since you need a blog to get started anyhow, first start with the on page optimization.
- Write a few posts with information you have gathered from reading other peoples blogs
- Get out there and try to come up with some good links to your site.
Trust me there is a lot of information on SEO out there and I will be back to write on this as I move along ,,Right now I have to try to figure out what keywords to target ,since all the "Big Dogs" have pretty much sewed the make money online niche up.
Can the average person make money with a blog?
Well that's exactly what this blog is about.
I'm just the average Joe with absolutely no prior experience in making money online and I have been reading blogs from some of the experts, so I'm on a mission to see if there is a possibility of me making any money doing this following their lead.
I can tell you if you want to give it a try, you better get prepared to do a lot of reading and learning. The Internet is full of information and there really are some "Good Guys" out there that offer up a lot of information on various subjects that will be crucial to any success you might have in a venture of this type.
In the last month I have been reading everything I could find that "Griz" has written about the subject and IMO he has to be one of the most knowledgeable people in the "business"
Two others that I have been reading a lot are Vic and Courtney. Both of these guys are very good at what they do as well and both offer a lot of free information. They also have online training, for a fee of course, but from reading what they offer for free I would be willing to guess the training they offer is well worth the price. Both are on my list as courses I would like to get involved in, just at the present I want to see how far I can get with what I have learned for free.
