If you want to set up online success and passive income opportunities on the Internet then you’re going to need to have a solid understanding of how to go about doing keyword research in relation to the competition that is out there.
So today I wanted just to give you some quick tips on how you can go about assessing your competition for keywords that you are wanting to target and rank well for in Google or other search engines. First of all if you’re serious about making income online then make sure you are using the browser Mozilla Firefox. It has great SEO plugins that you can use to do your research.
If you have this browser set up I would download the useful plugin tool SEO Quake. This plugin will tell us some important information when looking at the top few results in Google. The results we’ll be concerned with here are the domains age and also the PR (page rank). I won’t go into how to set it up but this lovely little plug in will display all of that crucial information.
The next step is to take the keyword you are thinking about targeting and type it into good old Google. After we get our results back underneath the top domains the information we need will pop up. Below is the list of factors you should be checking for to see if your chosen keyword is heavy competition and if you have a chance of ranking and making any income with it.
- Domain age (The older the name the more authority they will have)
- Page rank (If page rank is 4 or higher it’s going to be pretty tough to beat quickly and will take more work)
- Is the keyword in the URL (If the keyword is in the url they will get more credit for that keyword too)
- Is the keyword in the website title displayed in Google (If the keyword is in the title means their title is optimized for that keyword)
Basically if a site has all of the four factors above mentioned then they will be fairly tough competition. That being said it doesn’t mean you should be giving up on the keyword that you had chosen and your online success towards making residual income. What it does mean is that you’ll have to work a bit harder. Good luck and more on SEO tips and tricks from me soon!

These names could be book authors, people that run successful blogs, or even people that do coaching or have developed courses. Make sure to take careful notes of these names. What I like to do is have a list of “books I want” where I’ll add and author name and book title to the list each time I start hearing good things about it. I do the same thing with websites and online courses that I hear about.
So when starting out trying to learn all about making passive income on the internet try to learn as much as possible. This means listening to everyone with an open mind, taking notes of good books and people you start hearing about, and trying some of the methods out that you learn.

Well today I want to speak to you about the way many people are able to develop their first stream of residual income online. This method is by signing up and using Google’s amazing contextual advertising program called Adsense. If you are interested in the internet and understand a bit about how to develop websites or write good content then this might be just the residual income business opportunity that you’re looking for.
Today I just want to explain to you some of the basics of this lovely passive money generator and then in subsequent articles we will get into more and more details on how to succeed with it. First of all you will want to have yourself one or several good websites that have useful information and well written articles in order to use Adsense effectively. Some popular topics for websites that seem to work pretty well for many people and pay well when using Adsense are subjects like finance, investing, medicine, business, marketing, culture, beauty, and many more.
The next thing you will need is lots of targeted web traffic. Now I’m not going to get into how to get web traffic today but I will say that in order to actually make Adsense a viable business opportunity that you are actually making an income from you will need lots of visitors coming to interact with your website.
If you have a good website that does have solid traffic then you are probably ready to sign up and use Google Adsense to start earning a decent online passive income. Signing up for an account is not too hard, It is a bit of a tedious process but once it’s all done and set you’re good to go forever as long as you stick to the rules and don’t abuse the program.
What will happen once you insert the Adsense code within the webpages of your existing site is Adsense will read the content and display Ads that are relevant to your content therefore increasing the chances that your users will end up clicking on them. Every time a user clicks you get paid. It’s a great online residual income model for you to try out. Like I said as long as you are interested in the Internet, building up and writing content for websites then this might be just the perfect match for you!
Welcome to the exciting but very confusing and sometimes overwhelming world of trying to choose a good residual income program that works for you. See the thing is that over the last few years especially with the popularization of the Internet and the World Wide Web there is a lot of talk from all sorts of people that the net is a great place to start to earn and make residual income.
There is definitely truth to the above statement and many people do make great money over the Internet on a daily basis but you need to be careful at which online passive income stream you choose to go after just because there are so many options out there. The thing is if you choose to go after all of them not only will you get depressed and overwhelmed from information overload but you also will not be able to focus on any of them properly. What then happens is you won’t start to make any money and you probably will give up. I’m not trying to sound negative but I’ve seen it happen to most people who try to get into this money making world or business opportunities. I myself almost gave up due to information overload but I decided to keep on path and it is now paying off slowly but surely.
What I would recommend is take your time for the first little while and just read about and study all the different residual income opportunities that are out there. After you find one that you feel you are interested in or would be able to excel in go after that. Once you start that business model give it some solid effort and time and don’t give up until you are making a bit of money from that program. At that time you can decide if your current business model works for you and if you want to continue to work on that or to go to the next opportunity and try that out. If you just give a mediocre attempt to any passive income opportunity I can tell you now it won’t work – stay on it until some cash flows in and then quit if you don’t like it.
If you want to set up online success and passive income opportunities on the Internet then you’re going to need to have a solid understanding of how to go about doing keyword research in relation to the competition that is out there.
