I have finally come to the conclusion that blogs are the only way forward. I have held off for months into entering this regime due to the fact that finding interesting material to write about three or four times a week would be quite taxing, but I have just the entered the portal so at least I will be putting my brain to more use.

Blogging seems to have taken over the internet, all the old style business websites seem to have disappeared or have been resigned to the depth of the search engines leaving a myriad of websites all fighting to gain some recognition of their worth.

Two of the main searches on Google consisting of (work at home) and (make money online) have changed completely, it seems we no longer cater for needs of the searcher looking for a plain old business opportunity.

The searches now consist mainly of blogs or websites giving loads of advice on what to do and what not to do.

Everyone has taken literally the advice of many and filled their websites with text which on many is not particularly interesting but seems to please Google. It seems that keywords are the dominating factor and it doesn't matter what rubbish you fill your website with as long as you have loads of keywords to please the search engines.

You could have the best business idea in the world but if you havn't watered it down with keywords that are unnecessary in reality then it is doomed to failure.

Doing a search on (make money online) I found the no1 spot was occupied by a website that said Offline for maintenance it has been in this position for over a week and consists of three blocks of adsense ads, if this is all we need to do to get top spot how much easier life would be.

Going back to blogs as a newcomer to the scene I still have to determine whether my blog should consist of business tips or advice on websites or just simple every day nonsense. What do people want to read ?

You can get every sort of advice and help on the web about anything and every thing so it seems strange that people keep repeating the well meant advice and of course people keep reading it. If its nonsense they want then even that can be found on the web.

Oh well I will simply write about what comes into my head at the time of writing and hope that someone somewhere will think! well that's a novel idea, or this is a load of rubbish, as long as it provokes some sort of interest good or bad then it was worth writing.

I don't profess to be an expert on anything to do with the internet I have just learnt by my mistakes and experience, but here is one piece of advice for all of you who want to make money from an affiliate program or your own creation and that is: do not depend on your website to spread the word unless it is near the top of the searches. You have to spend money to make money so advertise it for all your worth, if you don't have the money to spare then visit every free ad site you can find and advertise there.

It may not be so effective as paid advertising but it can work, if you would like a list of hundreds of free ad sites on the internet then a visit to my website will give you what you are looking for it is number 1 on the list below and of course the list is free.
