How has SEO helped you make money online?

Since you started focusing on SEO (link building) have you made more money online. Do you think you could make money online just focusing on Quantity of content?

link building is NOT SEO

The "O" in "SEO" stands for Optimising.
Optimising means "making something be the best it possibly can".
ergo:
You cannot "optimise" something you do not control.

Link building is marketing and advertising (As it says in the signature) so becomes part of SEM.

But Chris, if links are on "optimized" pages on other sites pointing back to an optimized page on your site for the same or similar keywords... Kind of a grey area, but to me thats SEO.

BTW, my personal opinion is that links on forums are usually of little value from a G SERP standpoint. More value on blogs with a follow but I have yet to be convinced of the time vs value aspect on that one vs more good content on your site or a good page (even if you pay for it) on a good related site. Just my opinion.

SEO has boosted my earnings since I get more targeted traffic from search engines (due to the SEO effect)

Aside from working in a company,you can do SEO at home as a your part time job.

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines and increase SERP. Onsite optimization and offsite optimization are key factors in producing results. Link building is part of offsite optimization.

Link Building is part of SEO...

**dave9713** · 07-11-2008, 10:45 AM

Have to agree with Chris here... link building is not SEO its SEM.

Just because you can optimize links (slightly) doesn't make it SEO.

Link Building is only part of SEO if you say it is, but it doesn't make it so. I personally consider it SEM, or Search Engine Marketing. However, many believe that only PPC is SEM.

However, you slice and dice the matter, it is very necessary part of gaining in the SERP's in a competitive market.

Hey for almost a year what I know about SEO they are the one who create link to increase PR . This is the first time that I heard that SEO is not the one building link.

**tehfincheh** · 07-15-2008, 06:02 AM

Who cares what it is? it's pretty obvious what the OP is asking about.

I think link building is integral to increasing sales. Without getting your name out there and branching out from reliance on search engines (which won't be too profitable without links in the first place), you can't expect to generate much interest in what you're selling.

As far as quantity of content is concerned, yes, I believe you can make money by saturating the market with poorly written tripe. Why do I think this? Because people continue to do it.

PPC is the way to get money, link building is for ranking.

**skysoldier** · 07-15-2008, 11:56 AM

For me, link building is only a part of SEO, there are many techniques regarding within SEO. Combining these techniques will make you an SEO but if you know how to use those things you learned and use them to produce profit then it will be better!
