I’ve been informed by a few (20+) people that Blogging + Digg Users = Fail. Will be brainstorming different topics, if you have any suggestions let me know.

I will also be sending an email out to my list with an important announcement today which will be also posted on the blog tomorrow. It involves free, unique stuff so get ready for it.

A forum post on Blog Premiere gave me the impetus to put this up as a topic - although I’ve used this technique in the past, I hadn’t thought of putting it up for a post for you guys. There’s been some top notch information shared at Blog Premiere, which is of course free of charge; check it out if you haven’t. Remember, you only need ten posts to get access to the Private forums where you will be able to download a guide talking (in detail) about how a specific member made $1,000+ in a week blog commenting complete with dofollow list and case study.

The great thing about forums is that you can use their authority to make you money. Large forums, especially ones that have been around for a while have crazy amounts of authority - search engines love them. But how can you, the user, use them to make money?

Targeting high competition keywords are difficult; I’m not advocating you go after them at all. However, newer keywords, ones that have a lot of interest but not a chunk of competition are ripe for you to make money, and this is what we will target.

Whenever anything happens in the media… specifically celebrity related, but also world events (like the recent earthquake) - people are interested, and when people are interested they tend to search.

As an example, let’s look at something that a lot of people were interested in awhile ago - Paris Hilton’s Sex Tape. Celebrities are prone to revealing more than most people and as they’re in the spotlight all the time, people are interested in that kind of dross.

Now, within hours after news was launched, there was a TONNE of interest in this… Google searches went through the roof. If you could optimize a website to get high rankings, you’d make money (hit them with relevant CPA offers…). However, the problem is that new domains can suffer the Google Sandbox, and take far more work to get ranked than domains with authority… so here’s what you do (can be repeated for any topic.

Start a forum thread about your topic and optimize it for keywords. For example:

Title: Paris Hilton Sex Tape - Anyone Seen The Paris Hilton Sex Tape?

Post content: Write a little about it, bold it and link back to your website with anchored text of your choice. You could setup a fresh Blogger / Wordpress.com blog for this, however it’s better you use an existing blog.

I’ve seen up to 2,000 uniques a day by using this little idea. Remember that you don’t only have to target sex tapes (although you could if you wanted to ) but any topic that people will be interested in.

Make sure your blog has a little bit of information about the post, and hit them with a relevant CPA offer above the fold. In the above example, a ‘free iPod’ offer would work well as those kinds of people tend to be gullible.

Today’s a short post but one that could make you a decent amount of money if you work it right. I went to the gym today and tweaked my hamstring which hurts like a……. so going to relax a little. If you have any questions, just let me know
