Norman Sheppard discusses website design and SEO in this post from his Web Design Guide.
Web Design to Make Money Online
I know from experience that designing a site that looks totally awesome but does not engage the principles of search engine optimization will be of no value to you or your client. Why do people want websites anyways? People to not venture onto the World Wide Web in order to remain obscure and anonymous. I have made many websites under the direction of company officials, even marketing “specialists” who are concerned only with wowing their superiors. They want Flash, swooping, flaming logos, dancing menus and wild color schemes. These designs do indeed wow the client and I get paid. Two weeks later I get “the call.” Hey Norm, why can’t I find my website on Google. It looks great but what’s the point if no one is going to see it.

Jackie writes the following heads up for her Internet Marketing Strategies for Moms blog.
Are you Adding Adsense to your Blog Too Soon?
Here’s one thing I noticed about people who don’t know much about making money online and especially with adsense. The first question they ask, before the first post is published or the first person stops by is “can I put adsense on my blog now”.
I think this question is frequently asked out of fear. Fear of “missing” a click you might get from one random visitor who accidentally finds your blog.

Justin Briggs writes about SEO techniques in his SEO Zombie blog. His latest post discusses some of the things you can do to help your ranking in the SERP's.
How to Rank Well in Google
As I mentioned in my last post, Rand Fishkin outed the #1 ranked site for “SEO Company”. The post did not claim that the site used black hat practices, but it does use fairly obvious link building methods. Their links screamed link anchor text optimization, which is a solid sign that they are manipulating their anchor text. This is something we all do, but Google does not like. Our job as SEOs is to make our links as natural as possible so that competitors cannot publicly out you. So let’s dig in deep here and look at what factors are allowing this site to rank #1 for “SEO Company”. Not only has it achieved a #1 ranking for this term, but it has also received site links. Site links are read as a type of “authority” by searchers because it makes the listing look more important. So how did this site rank number one in Google?

Here is a well written primer from David's Make Money Online blog. If you are thinking of selling eBooks this is a good place to start.
Affiliate Marketing of Digital Products
While it is true that there are a lot of marketers who make money - and big money I might add, through affiliate marketing, most of them are not doing it through ebooks. However, as an entrance into affiliate marketing, it may be a good place for you to start. Oh, who am I kidding? The urge to try the Make Money Online “niche” is so strong, it is almost intoxicating to some. After all, you see all these guys cruising around in their Ferraris on all of these pages promising you that you can do the same if you just buy their $197, $147, only $97, but hurry because this offer ends (fake calendar and clock ticking down to indicate urgency).More ...
Several readers have taken advantage of my Niche Support program on my other blog and even incorporated the idea into their own sites. If you are looking for backlinks for your niche sites then check out Larry's Business Advertising site.
Advertising Business - Online Training
The easiest way to get links for technically disadvantaged and computer illiterate is Grizzly’s MMO blog - Niche Support. After reading Grizzly's blogs I wanted to get involved. My blogs weren’t ready yet but I thought it was a good idea so I E-mailed everybody on the Niche Support page and offered to put anchored links on my sites. I got quite a few takers and gave them links. What I got out of it was some good contacts and tips and I think some gave me links although I didn’t ask for them I appreciate it. My blogs were just started and weren’t really ready yet.More...

Give it Away Now
I know we all want the money; most of us want to be filthy rich. And, of course, the economic crisis is in the forefront of everyone’s minds lately. We are all worried about money. Here’s something to put it in perspective though; I’ve seen various different versions of the stats (some higher, some lower), but they all go something like this:More ...

Make Money Online with Pay Per Click
One of the more or less shared dreams in the internet marketing world is to make fast money. Since we’ve been starting this blog, earlier this year, I’ve joined a lot of forums about the ways to make money on the internet. After a couple of months I understood why there are so many people who never manage to make any money online, not to mention making it fast.
This article is not going to teach you anything, it’s not a tutorial for online money making tools, it is just my need to share a few thoughts with you, thoughts about this strange industry where many people don’t think about themselves of doing something, or running a business, but rather they imagine that they make money olnine.

Blogging Tips
There are three types of bloggers. Those that do it for fun, those that want to become rich and those that do it because they want to market themselves. The first group can do whatever they want and will still be happy with it. The other two groups need knowledge about blogging if they want to become successful.More...
Someone who wants to earn money from blogging needs traffic more than anything else. It is not hard to put Google Adsense on a blog and earn money with it. The ad might not be optimized but it will still earn money if the blog receives traffic. Without traffic, there will be no money no matter how optimized or clever the ad units are.

There are a few things I wish I had known when I started trying to make money online. Its taken me almost a year since I decided to seriously make money on-line.

This post comes from Pat Doyle's Internet Business Blog and expands upon one of my favorite topics - Adsense.
Is My Adsense Being Smart priced
Ever since I read that Grizzly had doubled his income by eliminating Smart Pricing from his AdSense, I decided it was well worth my while to see if I had been smart priced too.
In case you don’t know, AdSense’s Smart Pricing is when AdSense reduces the price it pays you per click, based on some not totally understood method which takes into account how well your site’s traffic converts for the advertiser. Some people think it is based on click-through-rate (CTR), but this is not true.

This post comes from Simon over at his resources for web developers blog called Pingable.
How to Earn Money Online
Chances are that heading made most people move on. Articles about making money online or about How to Earn Money Online are a dime a dozen. People see what A-list bloggers like Shoemoney, John Chow and Problogger have achieved, start up new blogs, start posting about topics with article headings like the heading of this article, and just wait for the money to come in. I know, because, to some degree I was one of these jackasses. I started this blog with the intention to make a bit of money. I wanted 1000’s of visitors, I wanted them to click on my ads and I wanted to make some cash to support my full time job.

I have talked at length about not following the advice or lead of the "Gurus". Here is a case in point; Stephen Cronin from his web development blog, rightly questions Seth Godin and the advice Seth gives.
Seth Godin May be Costing You Money
This morning I noticed an entry on Sphinn highlighting GreyWolf's Seth Godin Wants to Cheat Advertisers with Fake Clicks post. It discusses Seth Godin's Ads are the new online tip jar post, which suggests that readers should click ads to reward bloggers for their writing. To quote Seth:
"If you like what you’re reading, click an ad to say thanks."
GreyWolf condemns Seth’s advice and rightly points out that anyone following this advice is guilty of click fraud:
"If you click on an ad and your purpose is to make sure the site owner or blogger gets money from the click, and you had no intent to buy or research, that is click fraud."
As you’d expect, given they are Internet Marketing / SEO communities, comments on GreyWolf’s post and on Sphinn strongly condemn Seth’s statement. The majority of commentators agree that this is click fraud. I concur! More...

To Make Money Online You Need to Know...
Maki at Dosh Dosh asks readers, “What's the best way to make money online?”
One of the things I like about Dosh Dosh is that it really covers just about every method you could use the internet as a source of income. It’s not just about blogging for money, but includes things like: membership sites, selling your own product, eBay, affiliate sales, and leveraging an existing business. It really is a site about making money online.

This post comes from Jake Dylan who pens a make money online blog called Copymastermind.
Why You Need to Network
It’s never easy to get anything in life 100% on your own. The facts are that you need other people to advance whether you’re trying to climb the corporate ladder or Google’s serp. Making connections with others is key to success.
With that said, I’d like to do for my readers what Grizz has proposed to do for his:
I plan to send out links to anyone who has written “an on topic” post about my blog, copymastermind.com. By “on topic” I mean anything related to “making money online”. For example, you could have a “book” blog-as long as your post is about making money selling/writing books or ebooks and you link to me, I will link back to you.

This post comes from Bruce over at DayJobNuker who pens a Work at Home Jobs blog and discusses several of his most trusted resources for making money online.
The Most Trusted Make Money Online Resources
"If you are looking for ways to make money on the Internet, where do you turn to learn how?
Do you buy an overpriced ebook that some smuck is selling for $49.95? There are tons of them out there and they all promise to “unlock the secret” of how to make money. Please don’t buy those.
Do you read all the how to make money A-List blogs that tell you how they make money online by telling people how much money they make online? Many people waste months of their lives reading these blogs before they figure out they are mostly a waste of time. Save your time!"More ...
One of the most important aspects of making money online is SEO. This involves many things but optimizing Keywords and Backlinking are central to any success you might have. Carla from Wordplay relates her experience with SEO and the importance of keywords below.
Search Engine Optimization 101
"Those who truly seek to understand and implement SEO know it takes study, a time investment and even some experimentation to achieve good results. It also helps if you can follow the advice of someone who has already achieved that success. Actually, that can make all the difference in the world.
When I began this blog, I had no idea what I was doing. I made every mistake in the book, SEO-wise. And I thought I didn’t care whether I got traffic, because I created WordPlay as a showcase for my editorial consulting business. I just wanted a blog that looked somewhat pretty and had interesting content that I could link to my company Web site. But then I made a few tweaks that brought me more traffic. Before long I was hooked on hits." More...
This post comes from Bigcat at Traffic Searcher who pens a Free Game Download blog and discusses ways to make money in the casual gaming market as well as how to set up your own money making games site.
Free Game Downloads
"A quick search of one of my favorite keyword tools tells me that the phrase "free game downloads" gets over 80,000 searches per month. If you could get a good ranking in the search engines for that phrase you would be getting a ton of traffic. Unfortunately, there is a lot of competition for free game downloads so it will we a tough fight to make it to page one. You may want to choose a related long tial keyword for easier pickings."More ...
This post comes from Justin at SEO Zombie who pens a SEO blog and was kind enough to help me launch my new blog called Make Money Online with Grizzly. This exemplifies why friendships are so important when building your online business.
Make Money Online with Griz
"Griz, he’s the guy who ranks on page one for Make Money Online with his blogger/blogspot blog. I’ve been reading Griz’s blog for a while now and he knows his stuff. In addition, he’s a legit internet marketer and a nice guy who likes helping people out. He’s more than proved his worth on his blog, since he ranks for a whole range of Make Money Online terms that hundreds of others would kill to rank for."More ...
This post comes from an old friend BloggerNoob who pens a make money online blog called Bloggernoob.com and he discusses the importance associated with backlinks.
Know the Value of Links
"Google does not condone this, but a lot of web masters buy and sell links. SEO specialists help you buy and sell links. That’s all they do. So, it makes sense to research up on the value of links.
When i first started out, I couldn’t believe how much John Chow was making. I didn’t understand how it was possible. But, I now understand why he makes so much money. It’s because he has a lot of noobie fans. A lot of other MMO bloggers kiss his arse to get some of his crumbs. This whole economy is supported by the ignorance of noobie bloggers."More ...
This post comes from madWAHM who pens the blog MadWAHM.com and she discusses the "Ugly" blog techniques that are known to work for many well known sites in spite of all the hype surrounding flashy looking websites
Ugly Blogs and Websites Make Money
"If you’re spending a lot of time worrying about how flashy, cool and hot your website or blog looks, it may be costing you potential revenue.
Early last year I read “The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites” by Mark Daoust. This startling and provoking read examines the ideas and theories behind why ugly seems to sell.
Now, I’m not talking about “ugly” as in using those huge bolded fonts, in all caps or harsh and clashing colors. I’m talking about ugly in the sense of plain, basic and without frills. Like sites that are extremely clean, simple and highly functional and that don’t focus on design aesthetics, but rather on making their sites unbelievably user-friendly." More...
This post comes from Markk who pens the blog The Next Post and discusses the fascination people have with the A-List bloggers.
Do You Follow The Herd?
"Everyday there'll be thousands of new bloggers coming out of the woodworks and you bet many have one main thing in mind - how to make money online. Many of these bloggers are like regular visitors to the A-list blogs. You would think they have learned a lot from these visits but when you check them out at their own blogs one can conclude that there's a lot to be desired. Pretty dumb! They must be wearing blinkers!
What can you do to be different and set yourself apart? Think differently (out of the box) and be more unique than what the masses are doing." More ...
Here is a short post from a new friend - Zania.
The Best Make Money Online Blogs
"There are thousands of blogs in the Make Money Online niche. Most of them are poor and reading them will not help you learn how to make money at all. Every day, new blogs are 'born', with their writers either saying they 'can tell you the secrets of how to make money online', or that they are 'blogging newbies', who will 'tell you how they are learning to make money' as they go along, but fail miserably."

This post comes from April and she discusses a topic most of you are familiar with - information overload and who you should be reading rather than wasting time with sites that don't teach you what you need to know.
How to Make Money Fast
"Lots of people turn to the internet as a way to make money online. However the biggest problem people face is being overwhelmed by information. They read, read and read even more and the end result is total confusion. Months can go by with very little action being taken and when people do get started they seem to think that they’ll make money fast. This just isn’t the case and if you think you’ll be able to give up your day job in a matter of a few weeks you are very much delusional. Unless of course you already have skills in internet marketing and SEO etc." More...
Here is a post I liked that probably sums up how a lot of you feel about the "Make Money Online" Niche. I don't know the author (yet) but his name is Beau Hooks and his blog is called tzuvelli and here is the post that got my attention...
The Truth About Making Money Online
"When I first started researching and learning how to blog I put a lot of time and effort into reading the traditional blogs about making money online. One thing I realized was that none of them really taught me how to make money online. Out of the three hundred blogs that I read, at the time, not one blogger laid out a plan a true strategy for making money online. most of what I learned centered around building readership, RSS, and social media traffic so you can sell ad space. It made sense, at the time. But, selling ad space is not a strategy for making money online, it is a strategy for selling ad space online." more
