To make money from a website you already have up and running, one road to consider going down is joining an affiliate program.
If you're yet to start up your own website, you may consider getting in contact with a web designer who has affiliate marketing experience.
If you become an affiliate, it means you earn from advertising other merchants products via your website by placing advertising banners and text links on your site.
If a visitor to your website clicks on the banner, they then go straight to their website, make a purchase from them and you make a commission on the sale.
Unfortunately you won't make much by simply putting a banner on your website unless you're one of the lucky ones who receive thousands of visitors on a daily basis.
But by implementing a few simple marketing techniques even the smallest site could earn you a decent income.
Firstly, try affiliating yourself to a merchant whose products are more likely to be bought by a visitor to your site, there isn't much point in having a link to a cat food seller when your own site concerns PC maintenance.
To start with have a look at the 'Commission Junction', one of the good affiliate network directories on the web it won't cost a penny and neither will it if you link up with a listed merchant.
From that point it's very straightforward, you don't need to be a programming expert to get going.
Advertising on your site for someone else's goods is a good way of earning an income, all you're doing is pointing someone in the right direction and your responsibility ends there.

The ins and outs of Niche Devil
In the development teams' own words it is for, "Making cash by feeding the Google Monster it's favourite food without hardly lifting a finger" A snappy, if overlong statement, but it's not about the tag line, it's whether or not it's worth the money?
The initial setup goes something like this, firstly you purchase MANY domains, hosting and Niche Devil, then onto your hosting account you install Niche Devil and run the script. Then insert your keywords and affiliate links for your chosen store and hey presto, Niche Devil spits out a site with content and products and all in a breathtaking 36 seconds! Sounds awesome.
Now all you need is a few spend-happy customers, and Niche Devil can even promise that with the aid of pinging but let's take a step back and look at what makes the whole thing tick.
Your server/hosting account has to reach certain minimum requirements before uploading the script via ftp. Remember the old BANS stores? Well this is very much in the same vein and look what happened to them.
The Niche Devil is talking up it's "ever refreshing" content, pulling/scraping content from the Internet that relate to your chosen keywords, it looks good and works well but the legality of it as far as copyright is concerned is another matter.
Niche Devil is promoting itself as with statements such as, "Hurry up, only available for 14 days" which never sounds good, whoever says it.
They have restricted the time it is available, why? Is it to make you purchase now, or do they what will happen when our experience of the product becomes a reality and why would you even contemplate selling a product that earns £££ and not just use it yourself.

How to get your site noticed
It does not matter what your website is for, be it business or pleasure, a definite must have is traffic.
The Internet is so big, you are just a little fish in such a big sea.
How to increase your online presence.
Before you can set about increasing the traffic to your site, you will need to plan your marketing campaign.
Learn about your potential visitors
Certain types of traffic generating programs exist, however they will not send you targeted visitors.
If for instance, you had a antiques website, what are the chances someone who found your site through a teenage social site link are going to buy your products? Not very high.
The point I am trying to make is that you need to find out who your potential customers are, then make yourself available to them.
Using search engine optimization
If you are beginner to the world of seo, you may have heard about it and it has had your head spinning.
Don't let anyone tell you seo is quick and easy. It consists of many on site and off site optimization strategies and is very time consuming.
I have a simple seo guide for those of you who want to start at the beginning with seo. Don't worry if you have to call in a seo expert. Outsourcing these kind of tasks can be a wise move.
PPC -Pay per click
Pay per click is advertising your site and paying for each click (visitor) this can be very expensive if not done correctly. Make sure you research or seek advice.
Social networking to get traffic
Links to your site from blogs, forums and message boards, will bring you traffic.
It is important that you do lots of planning and research. A good campaign will lead to good quality traffic.
I hope I have given you some food for thought.

This is a common one often overlooked by beginners. Title tags are important and must be different on every page of your website.
3. Too much flash
Flash cannot be read by googles bots. If you are going to use flash, it is essential that you also use the html mark-up for it.
4. Back link spamming
A mistake even those claiming to be the best are making. SEO changes all the time, link farms are not liked by google. You need to spend your time getting one way links from high pr websites.
5. Overdoing the keywords
Your content must make sense. If you try and over do the keywords you will get penalized by Google quickly. What you write must flow.
6. Keyword density must stay below 5%

8. Poor website navigation
Your sites navigation and links must be clean and unbroken. Your visitors and search engine bots must be able to find their way around your site.
9. Using only images for headers
Headers are the first thing Google bots see. Take advantage of this and use your keywords in the h1 and h2 headers.
10. Unreliable web hosting. Cheap may please your wallet but it will annoy your visitors and stop you getting high search engine ranking. Google will think your website is not there if it happens to crawl your site during an outage!

Seo is the short term used for search engine optimization.
It is a process of making your websites optimized for search engines such as google.
Why use seo?
One thing any site needs, regardless of it's purpose, is traffic. You need people to visit your website.
You can use many ways of getting traffic to your site, but by far the best one is the free one. If you learn search engine optimization and optimize all your pages you can get free traffic.
Organic search engine traffic is where you naturally rank high on search engines for your chosen keywords.
This is one of the main types of traffic you want to be chasing.
When someone uses google search, they will normally only click on one of the results that appear on the first page above the fold, so you need to aim for top positions.
Where should a beginner start?
In this blog i am going to write articles just for beginners, i wont baffle you with big terms and i will take it slow.
Despite it's first impressions, seo is not rocket science, but it does take some hard work.
One thing i will start by saying is to stick with it.
What you need to begin
Website to have a fiddle with
Patience
Lots of coffee lol
Right, that is the basic low down on search engine optimization. Now to to get you started on how to get high search engine ranking.
