Shanghai Tech Writer

How to make lots of money online and get rich from blogging. SEO. Monetizing. Affiliate marketing. Google Adsense. The Internet is full of blogs about making money online. It seems as if every other blog is about monetizing, SEOs, affiliate marketing, and getting rich from blogging. Blogs like ProBlogger, JohnChow, and ShoeMoney, and DailyBlogTips maintain a huge community of PPC (Pay-Per-Click) netizens all seeking after the lucrative life of getting rich from blogging.

I thought I’d try an experiment and create a post with a good SEO title in addition to using high ranking SEO keywords, all in the first 20 words of this post. I’m curious to see how many more hits and visitors this post will receive. As you can see, this post has no actual content about making money online and neither is the purpose of this blog.

In a previous post about blogging for search engines, my blog stats tell me that many visitors to Shanghai Tech Writer come from search engines. People searching for specific keyword have landed on this blog. Some are relevant to this blog (technical writing, technology) and some are not. The sad thing, as Tom Johnson also mentioned in his own analysis of his blog, is that the time we spent laboring over a quality article might not always produce the results we want while some nonsense articles (like the one you are reading right now) will probably get twice the number of hits!

Sad.

But thanks for reading to the end of this post. Not many will make it this far.

Update (9/7/2008): Less than a day and this post has already received 3 pingbacks and a hundred page views. It’s also #2 result when searching “make money online” on Google BlogSearch.

The funny thing about all the pingbacks is that my post isn’t even about making money online! This goes to show that these bloggers linked to my post without reading the actual content. 

Experiment proven successful! Maybe I should switch to blogging about something else…
