At the beginning of every year, you always see articles and blog posts about “Top xxxx for 2008″. Top music, top mtv, top destinations, top this and top that.
In the world of Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing, we all wait for the “2008 Top Searches”. These are the sort of keywords that you might want to check out and see if you can rank in either of these. If you can, then you’ll probably get a whole bucket load of traffic.

For people who are into adsense, the best tip is to check out variations of these keywords and try to see if it is worth ranking.
For example, “american idol”. You might want to check “american idol 2009″ or “american idol 2009 schedule” “american idol 2009 audition” and similar keywords.
Just think about what other people might search for this 2009 and get ahead. Create content for those keywords and start building links to have an early lead in the SERPS.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned to some of the people who texted me and would like to learn how to make money by blogging, that I would look for products and create a package specifically for newbies and bloggers who want to start making money on their blogs.
I know it would be hard to teach people remotely, by SMS, or even by email so I found a couple of products that have video tutorials and bought the RIGHTS to these products so I can legally resell these to my blog readers at a very low price.
If one buys each of these products separately, it will cost them $100+.
The ProBlogger’s Starter Pack (as I call this package) consist of 5 really good products containing about 35 video tutorials, and a couple of really good ebooks.
Currently, you can get it at 50% discount. Just use the coupon code “probloggerdiscount“.

In starting your own income generating blog, you have to do it right the first time. There’s nothing wrong with using free blog services out there but the problem is that eventually, if you want a long term blogging income, you WILL host your own blog in your own domain name anyway. Once this happens, it would be hard to transfer your content to your new blog and moreover, your blog is already ranking on some keywords in the search engines and it is very hard to transfer this ranking to your new domain if you are not an SEO.
So here’s what you need.
1. Buy domain
2. Buy hosting
3. Install a CMS/blog software (I highly suggest wordpress)
4. Learn how to install the latest wordpress. Some hosting services has fantastico but 98% of the time, it will not setup the latest wordpress version. You need to learn how to manually install wordpress.
5. Learn how to transfer files to your hosting.
6. Learn about how to setup a MySQL database.
7. Learn how to create a MySQL user.
8. Learn how to assign a Mysql user to a mysql database
9. Learn how to edit wp-config.php
10. Learn how to install plugins
11. Learn how to Optimize your blog for the search engines
A lot of people already know how to do this, however, I know for a fact that there are still a huge number of people who are still newbies in terms of making their own blog. Some perhaps are afraid to even try because they think they are not techie enough to do it. Some even pay $20 to $50 to have somebody install these for them.
Now what if there is a way to “see” exactly how it is being done? What if you can be a fly on my shoulder and observe exactly how to do all these things? What if there is a set of videos which you can use to LEARN all these.
They say it is easier to learn if you can “see and hear” rather than just “read” about it. If a picture has a 1000 words, what more if its a video?
I highly suggest you checkout this material “How to Install and SEO wordpress“. The Best part about it is that you will also get a copy of the “Killer Backlink Strategy” which I personally use to have my sites rank in my chosen keywords.
