How to get traffic from search engines


Ranking in search engines can be done through search engine optimization.
There is a 3 step process for ranking in search engines that you should consider when trying to make money from your website.
LONG TAIL KEYWORDS
First, you need to try and rank for keywords that are not too difficult. If you are trying to rank in Google for something that is extremely competitive, even if thousands of people search for it every single month, will lower your chances of getting any traffic at all.
So, I recommend that you target long-tail keywords that are much easier to rank for. Then you just target lots of different keywords by writing great articles and you will be more likely to show up.

WRITE GREAT CONTENT
The way that you target keywords is to write an in-depth article on the subject. For example, I wanted to rank for the term “niche websites” and so I wrote an in-depth article on the subject. As of today, I now rank #1 in Google when someone searches for the term “niche websites.”
Depending on your subject, you may need to write an article that is 3,000 to 5,000 words long or even longer. You need to provide true value and depth of content to the people visiting your website. Once you provide value, not only are you more likely to rank in Google, but you are also more likely to make money from your website.

GET LINKS
A backlink is simply where one website mentions another website through a link that you can click. These links act as “votes” to show that one website is more valuable than another.
Google crawls the internet to see all the links that are out there pointing to your website and tends to rank your website higher when you have a higher quantity and quality of links.

PAY PER CLICK CONTEXTUAL AD NETWORKS
Pay per click ad networks pays you when someone clicks an ad on your website; whether or not they go and buy anything. This a great way to start making money online, from your website. Most of these are extremely easy to add to your website as well.
You just sign up and get approved, then copy and paste a short snippet of code onto your website.
These are networks like Google Adsense that have ads displayed based on the content of your site. 

CPM ADVERTISING NETWORKS
Rather than paying on a per-click basis, these ad networks pay on a per-view basis (usually a dollar amount based on 1000 pageviews). Most of these networks require that you have a large visitor base to be approved to their network; therefore most of these won’t work for smaller niche sites.
Your ability to get into these advertising opportunities typically depends on how many pages views your website is generating.

CPA (COST PER ACTION) NETWORKS
These types of ads pay a fixed dollar amount based on an action taken (like an email submit form filled out). Many of these affiliate marketing networks listed below offer both affiliate commissions (% of the actual purchase price) AND CPA opportunities. There are also a LOT more ad networks out there than I could ever list in this category – this is just a few. 

AFFILIATE NETWORKS
An affiliate network pays out a fixed amount or a percentage of the sale amount. As an affiliate marketer, you refer someone through your link and get paid if someone buys something. As mentioned, some of these networks bleed together; meaning some of these affiliate networks payouts on CPA offers as well.  

DIRECT AFFILIATE PROGRAMS
Thousands (yes thousands) of companies offer their affiliate programs that are NOT listed in any network. These can be harder to find but often pay very well. 
However, if you are in a certain niche, you will know the types of products that your visitors might be interested in. As a result, just do a quick Google search to see if those companies offer an affiliate program. Just type in “company name” + affiliate program, so something similar to find results. 

SPONSORED POSTS
This is a very common way for bloggers to make money. 
In a nutshell, brands will ask bloggers to write an article that reviews their product or that highlights their product in some way. The brands will pay anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars per post.
