Further more traffic is categorized into two segments. The first segment is the traffic or people who just visit your site to search information of just to have fun. The second segment is the targeted traffic. The targeted traffic is a high quality traffic which will generate some sales for you. They desperately need your product as they presume that your product will solve their problem. This way, they demand a high quality product. If you product has a good quality, they will have no problem to spend some money to buy your product.

I will describe three various methods to generate more traffic to your blog. The first method called social bookmarking. The second method is RSS and the third method is article marketing.

Kindly check the other two traffic generation method on the second part of this article.

The first thing you have to consider before making the real money is to buy the web domain. It is the address of your shop. It begins with the “www.” Before buying the domain, you should consider these important things. The very first thing is to match the domain with your keyword. For example, your keyword is “wrinkle reduction tips”. Then you should find a domain with that keyword on it. You can find such as “w*w.wrinkelreductiontips.c*m” and other domain which has the particular keyword on it. By doing this, your website will be able to rank well on the major search engine such as Google. So, make sure your targeted niche keyword is on the domain.

Web hosting is the second thing you have to carefully consider. There are some well known hosting brands such as Go Daddy and some other who has served the online community for quite sometimes. The most important about hosting selection is to ask them about the downtime. Downtime is a time where the hosting experience a very low data transfer rate so the potential visitor will not be able to see your site. This is important as you do not want to loose any opportunity to sell your product via from your site.

The third thing is about the web script. There are two major free scripts that people often use. The first one is Wordpress and the second one is Joomla. So what are the differences between the Wordpress and Joomla? Wordpress is a simply script which made for user. However, if you have some programming skills, you can customized Wordpress and get a better site look. In contrast, Joomla is designed for programmer though some users can build a great site using Joomla. Personally, I would prefer using Wordpress than Joomla as it has a simple admin area and easy to understand. Wordpress is not designed for beginner. There are a lot of online marketing veteran who use this script to make money online. You can also benefit from it.

The next step is the market researching. It is important because you have to find the market for your product first before making your real product. In the real world, the producer often tests their product prototype by holding a group discussion or a survey. That kind of effort has proved that market research is simply important to increase the product success rate.

Please pay attention to this question. What is the market for a particular product? This is a wrong question if you want to make money from blogs. You should research the market first then decide the product. Read this entire article and I will present the whole idea to research the market.

There are two types of market. The first type is red ocean market and the second type is blue ocean market. The red ocean market is the market where there are a lot of potential buyers who are dealing with a lot of giant seller. This market has a high competition market. The entry barrier is high. I do not recommend you to enter this market as it is too risky and you need to a lot of effort to be spotted.

The next market called blue ocean market. It is famous for the term of “niche market”. This is a great market to start your business from. Why so? The niche market has a lot of potential buyer with a relatively low competition level. By having a low competition level, you will get more opportunity to get your business spotted. You can even be the market leader of this particular market.

So how will those terms applied on the online business?

To answer that question, we need to talk about Google search engine first. Google has a lot of traffic each day. A lot of people search for various term there. This is where the real money comes. You have to be on the Google first page to gain enough exposure and credibility. This way, you will get a lot of visitor which come to your site and increase earning potential. This entire result can be achieved if you are playing on the niche market where you can be the market leader who appears on the Google first page.

To start making money blogging, you should really consider learning about the idea of selecting niche market. Have you ever heard the “niche” term? It refers to the market that has low competition which means that only few people or company or website that serving the people need on this market. In addition, it also generates more traffic.

In the online world, you have to choose keyword. The keyword will become your targeted market. Let say you are interested with a keyword “wrinkles”. You have search with Google search box (sandbox) and you got that wrinkles has a very high competition. How do you know? Just look at the top right hand corner of the page. You will see the number. It is the competition level.

Then you will need to find the market (people) who search your keyword. There are various tools that can help you doing this process such as Good keyword, Micro niche finder and many more. Those tools help you to locate the specific keyword which has the criteria as we have discussed above. Using these tools you will have more information regarding the keyword you should pick up in order to maximize your online earning.

Let’s get back to the “wrinkles” keyword. Unfortunately, you will see that this particular keyword has too much competition. So, what will you do then? The solution to this matter is to dig deeper into this keyword by adding some words. After thinking some alternatives, you will find some sort of keyword such as “wrinkle reduction” and so forth. This type of keyword called long tail keyword. The long tail keywords will bring you to the niche market. You will find some long tail keyword which has low competition and high search. This is the keyword which you will use as your main keyword.

The point is you should always select the niche keyword that has low competition and high search level. There will be more traffic or people who come into your site if your keyword generates higher search level.
