Make Money Online Search Results Update
written by John Chow
Here is an updated on the results of my Make Money Online anchor text test. As you know, I have been trying to get on page one of Google for the search term “make money online.” I’m happy to report that as of today, I am now ranked number two for that term across every single Google server.
Even before locking the number two spot, being on page one offers some nice benefits. In my first update, I showed that make money online was the number two most used keywords to find this blog.
The above chart shows the keywords used to find this blog for the week of March 22 to 28. As you can see, make money online have taken over the number one spot from my name. Ranking for that term has also ranked me for “making money online” and “making money.” Together, all three key terms have sent me 746 visitors in one week. This number should increase as my number two spot on Google’s SERP takes hold. I believe ranking for this keyword will be worth at least 4,000 new visitors every month.
According to my Google AdWords control panel you would need to bid $1.75 to $2.62 per click in order to get into the top three sponsored ads spot of the Google SERP page for the term make money online. By getting on the organic results for free, I am saving some serious money. Even if I were paying for AdWords, I would not get the same level of traffic as being in the organic results since only 12% of Google users click the sponsored ads.
Now that I locked the make money online keyword, I’m going after make money on the Internet. I am currently at the top of page three for that term. It shouldn’t be too long before I hit page one. According to the Overture Keyword selector Tool, there were over 20,000 searches last month for make money on the Internet. Free feel to link to me with that term. 
Someone would a sharp eye may noticed that 49 people came to my blog last week looking for “whores.” Thanks for visiting, but the only whores you’re going to find here are Google whores (and comment whores).

Well, I’m almost there when you search for “Efficient Market Hypothesis”. But I bet you get wayyyy more hits than I do
lol. I actually thought you were joking, but it IS a popular keyword.
John - congrats! You continue to be an inspiration.

Yea I guess the most important thing is to go for keywords that are popular/ most commonly typed in, and are related to your blog.
Comment whores FTW!!!!!
Thank you,

I’m number 1 when you search for “The Thinking Blog”
but then, how many searches are there to that keyword?
i suposed few, it’s not easy someone search for “the thinking blog”.
Loved that part of the “whores”
Really few I suppose
Yeah, it’s not too hard to rank for trafficked terms. My blog ranks for a lot of them
Such as?
Crazy Web Entrepreneurs
Dave and Jay
Crazy Web Ideas
To name a few
Well those are not common terms that people will search for, so they are not that useful anyway.
If you have a good group of “not that useful anyway” terms, that will do the same has a big term.
It’s the ranking power of lover phrases/keywords.
It’s like small $2 clients. Alot of them, make a company big (like hosting).
Also known as the long tail which is where most websites get their traffic.
Yes, those terms are useless, I said so before listing them…and no having a bunch of little terms does not add up to the big terms unless you have thousands of them. Trust me, we are ranked for a lot of other useless terms to, I just gave those as an example because I was asked.
A hosting company that has $2 clients is setting itself up for failure.
Oops, I just realized I made a typo that would make this whole reply string confusing.
Originally I meant to say “I’m ranked for a lot of NON-trafficked terms” not trafficked ones.
My bad!
Go John, Go John, GO GO Go John. That is great news. Isn’t it amazing what you can achieve with so many people admiring you. Like I said earlier, I am shooting for “Hopeless Romantic” that should be fairly easy if I do enough articles and get some anchor text link back. Awesome Job keep up the greatness. You Evil Evil man!

Come Ilker, you can’t tell me you’re not reaping some of the rewards
Ummm.. I don’t know, maybe if I spend hours to write so many comments, then maybe!
Well you have been… So?
Being on the top commentator list, is helpful in terms of new readers to your own blog
Well, you have to do your own part in sourcing for some evil strategies for your own self. What may work for the big guys may not work for you as well.
I’d love to be known as a Google whore one day. Too the 49 folks looking for whores… how surprised were you to find a Make Money Online blog!
Disappointed?
8092 hits from Google is not bad, is it?
Not bad at all!
Hmmm.. I got 580 organic hits from Google for these the most:

How should I do SEO and what words should I choose, I don’t know!
I would love that much from google
for one month is bad, for one day, is very good
I think it’s for a week unless he changed the default parameter in Analytics.
It’s one week.
I guess the people who stumbled onto here from that search are totally disappointed.. And, disgusted.
I’ll just have to settle for “comment whore” for now.
I’m sure they were really pissed when the didnt get porn.

I hear there is a lot of sucking in porn.
ROFLOL!!!

Haha okay that was funny.
I beg to differ John. Your blog also has us, your comment whores!!!

Yep
Hey you are replying my comments!!
Sheesh when I made my first comment it was like number 4, and that I forgot that everyone comments on comments, now my first comment is like number #25.
I;m trying to rank for the word comment…
I don’t think commenting on blogs will help you get ranked for the word comment :O
Ahh.. maybe that was what they were looking for.
Comment ‘whores!
I find that highly doubtful Lyndon
LOL! You get 49 clicks for whores
