Writers and bloggers who can produce quality content in their articles can earn money from those same articles. There are many free blogging websites for content writers and bloggers. These free sites offer revenue sharing through ad networks. By placing relevant advertising for your article or blog, you earn money from those ads and split with the writer on a percentage scale. Most of these free blogging sites will offer writers 50% revenue share, while some offer higher percentages. Some of these sites will allow the writer to keep 100% of all advertising revenue earned from her articles. The most common and recognized ad network is Google AdSense and others such as Amazon affiliate ads, Kontera, AdBrite, eBay partner program and more.
However, writing your articles and blogs is only part of the equation when you’re trying to earn advertising revenue. Once the articles are written and published, they need visitors. Visitors reading these articles must be “targeted” visitors.
What are “targeted” visitors?
These are visitors who are looking for information related to the content of your blog or article. The best quality targeted visitors will ultimately come from the search engines and will actively search for your information using keywords or keyword phrases that they have entered into the search engine’s “search box.”
What are keywords or key phrases?
A keyword or keyword phrase is defined as a word or words that identify the topic of the article or blog. Some examples of keyword phrases for this article might be “blogging for money,” “blogging money,” “ad revenue,” or “writing for money.” Individual keywords that could be used are “blogging”, “income”, “articles”, “writing”, etc.
Keywords can also be defined as specific terms used by a person or people to search for information on the Internet. Or they can be defined as a tool used to determine the location of your website’s URL in search engines when using pay-per-click advertising.
The exact definition of keywords depends on the intended use. Ultimately, keywords are used to identify the product, service, or information that you want your visitors to see.
Articles should contain high-quality, keyword-rich content.
When writing articles and blogs with the intention of attracting search engine traffic, writers should use their keywords throughout the article. This is not to say that writers should flood their articles with keywords and keyword phrases, but your keywords should be mentioned in your article or blog a certain number of times. This is called keyword density, and this number or density percentage will vary, depending on the advice you’re reading.
Before writing your blogs and articles, research your keywords using any of the many free keyword tools available on the internet. The Google AdWords keyword tools are the best I’ve ever used. There are also widely available and free to use keyword density tools.
So, research your topic, research your keywords and phrases, and start writing unique, interesting, and high-quality articles for your target audience. You could be on your way to a great writing career.
