How to Increase Your Google Ranking in 9 Steps

Finding ways to increase your traffic ranking to make money online can often be quite the daunting task for adults, let alone teens. Many people struggle and spend countless hours wasted with little to no results. Dont give up too fast though, there are many guides and tips out there that can help you in your journey to rank higher on those pesky search engines. 

In this quick guide I am about to present to you, you will find some basic, yet incredibly useful tips that you will greatly benefit from.

1.) Have a targeted domain name
Having a good domain name will not only add to your websites credibility, but if it has a popular keyword in it, then chances are that google bots will pick it up and you will index faster and to the top pages.

2.) Include Keywords in the Title of Articles
As long as you are writing for search engines then putting relevant keywords in your article titles will be very useful. Just make sure that you make your titles are catchy and something that a person would be willing to click on. 

3.)Write Your Keywords in Bold/Italics
While I personally do not use this method, I have seen a lot of websites with this tactic implemented and apparently the results are staggering. It is usually most beneficial to include this syntax in the first paragraph of a post when people just begin to read it. Just make sure you dont go overboard and bold a keyword every time you use it.

4.) Write High Quality Content
I cannot stress enough the importance of writing unique, well-crafted content. If you want to increase your page rank then you need to write impressive material that people want to share and read.

5.) Keep Updating
Google and other search engines like websites that are updated regularly and have interesting content. So dont be expecting to write one article, come back a year later and be on the first page of google for your niche. Aim to write at least one article a week.

6.) Participate in Forums and Other Blogs
Backlinks! Backlinks! Backlinks! I have mentioned this in several of my other posts but I want to make a note again of the importance of backlinks. Google loves forums and blogs with a high PR and there are many out there that are do-follow and allow you to leave your website as a backlink in the comments section. Just make sure you leave informational comments and dont spam. Heres a few great blogs that you can get started on:

• www.comluv.com
• www.blondish.net
• www.bluehatseo.com
• www.selberg.org

7.) Create Multiple Pages
By having more than one page on your website/blog, this will strengthen your internal ranking and google will rank you higher.

8.) Social Bookmarking
It seems like every month the newest social media hit is coming out. Instead of looking past these opportunities use them for your benefit. Not only will you receive direct traffic from these websites, but you will also receive a high quality back link. Heres a list of the most popular ones:

• Facebook
• Google+
• Digg
• Squidoo
• Hub Pages
• Stumble Upon

9.) Target Niche Keywords with Low Competition

I can tell you right now that unless you are a killer writer and know how to use SEO like a professional then you wont be making it to the first page of google for the keyword "money" anytime soon. If you havent already, check Google Adwords to see how popular certain keywords are. 

There you have it, chances are you arent a big company with paid professionals to do the dirty work for you. However, if you work at it, spend some time each week developing your website and its keywords, then you will be on the first page of google before you know it. Having a high ranking website when youre trying to make money online as a teen can be the difference between succeeding and wasting your time. Good luck!

On digital piracy Part One

(Photo credit to Schwadron)

In the past, pirates were known as the squashbuckling, one-legged, eyepatch-wearing Captain Jack Sparrow-type of sailors who would brave the seas in search of precious treasures (or booty, as it was known). They were the outlaws of the sea, the mavericks who were both celebrated and deplored by many in their time.

However now, the digital age has brought along its own (rather less exciting) type of pirate.
The treasure for todays pirates is no longer a chest of fine precious jewels, but instead perhaps an entire series of Game of Thrones, Ed Sheerans latest album or the Football Manager video game- all of which are accessible easily via torrents, files that direct your computer to download larger ones, be it an MP3 album, a film, or anything.

Whereas to purchase Football Manager 14 from a shop, Id have to locate the item and travel to my nearest game stores (leaving the house, oh!) to lump out 35 of my pounds, via torrenting I can get this for free, completely. All without leaving my house, right on my computer, not a pound lost from my pocket.

Thats largely where the appeal of digital piracy lies- you can get something of value that you desire for free. And in the day of almost all media (even books) now being on digital platforms, you can get quite a lot.

To many, this practice raises serious moral issues, and perhaps rightly so. Is there really a difference between torrenting Fast and Furious 6 and simply walking into my nearest HMV, grabbing a copy of it from the shelves and walking out without paying? On the surface, there is little difference- in both cases you have obtained something of value that was not given willingly to you for free by the creator(s).

However, many people fail to take into account such a link, the reason why digital piracy is far more widespread than shoplifting- and its unsurprising why many of us do not see digital piracy, perhaps irrationally, as a direct equivalent to shop theft.

The internet has hugely affected our behaviour- most notably due to the fact that it provides a proxy between communicators, it provides an environment in which relationships are usually more detached, separated by a screen.
This separation is clear in how confidence is gained by many internet users who, in the real world, have very little- cyberbullies, trollsters and whatnot are largely of this type.

The lack of interpersonal communication during the process of torrenting makes it a much more appealing prospect than outright shop theft; when on the internet alone, you feel there is no one watching you (something in fact untrue), so theres no one that provides a reaction to your torrenting, theres no one to catch or stop you. This is an environment that is far more conducive to theft.

This nature is shown in the statistics- as of 2011, 42% of software running in the world was pirated, 95% of music downloaded online was pirated, and two-thirds of all torrents were illegal. Three years on, illegal downloads have continued to grow in popularity. Its clear- the world is full of digital piracy.

At the end of the day, digital piracy is the same as theft from a store. We have all been guilty of it, but perhaps we need to change our attitudes towards it; we wouldnt steal directly from a shop, so why should we steal online?

But actually, on the other hand, does digital piracy actually matter? Does your downloading of a piece of media really have any negative impact on the multi-millionaire producers of the things we download?

Well be exploring that in the next article. Stick around.
