Many of you guys know that I get around quite a bit within the make money online niche. So many of you guys have been surprised with how much I know. Not so much as “knowing the business of making money online”, which I do… but more so with “what is going on within the niche.”
At any rate, one of the most common things I hear people complaining about is Google and how their site stacks up against the competition. For those who don’t know, Google provides free access to their search technology by allowing end users the ability to create their own custom search engine. This is called Google CSE. With this, anyone can create and manage their own search engine. If you have an interest in Dogs and Cats, you can easily create and manage your very own Dogs and Cats search engine.
The same is true with Make Money Online. I have started what I am calling, The Make Money Online Search Engine. It is powered with Google CSE technology; however, I am in TOTAL control with which sites get included. My goal is to create a search engine that allows people to easily find information that helps them with their journey of learning how to make money online.
With that said, The Make Money Online Search Engine will do just that. The reason being, again… because I am in TOTAL control of what gets included into the search index.
I am in the early stages of building this search engine; however, it is VERY MUCH LIVE right now. You can try it out for yourself, I have the search bar located on the top right side of my header and it is also displayed on my home page.
Why Am I Doing This?
Because it is totally needed. There are thousands of people who WANT to make money online and then there is an equal amount — if not more — people who NEED to make money online. Many people’s lives depend on their success of learning how to make money online.
I am doing this, because I want to provide people with a resource where they can simply enter in a search term and have returned to them results that will help them in their education of learning the business of making money online.
How Can I Do This?
Simple. Google indexes your content, your blog posts, your web pages, and even very strange query string pages on your site. Many people often wonder, “how can I get my content indexed in Google?” However, the truth to the matter is quite opposite. It is actually MORE DIFFICULT to prevent Google from indexing your content. Having your content indexed and having it actually appear in the search results are two different things. I can create a custom search engine that helps people find accurate information about making money online simply for the fact that Google has a record of everything!
My job as the owner of this custom search engine is in managing it, which by the way, isn’t very difficult at all. I have the option of including sites into The Make Money Online Search Engine. With that, I also have the option of exclusing many sections and pages from being included into the search engine. When I approve a site for inclusion, I hand pick the content that I want visible in the results. In most cases, I disalllow category sections, tag sections, static pages that pitch eBooks and various other digital products that I disapprove of, and many more sections of blogs and sites that fail to help people learn how to make money online.
So What’s Next?
Well, a few things are going to happen. Right now, The Make Money Online Search Engine is hosted on my personal blog while I continue to build and develop it. In a few days, I will be moving the search engine to a permanent domain name. At that time, I will reveal to you what the domain name is and you can check it out for yourself. By the way, when I do reveal the domain name, you will be shocked with the name I have chosen. The site will probably have a blog and some added documentation and a few pages; however, for the most part, this site will be nothing more than a pure search engine that will deliver very accurate and helpful results, all related to making money online.
How Do Can You Get Your Site Included?
Getting your site included isn’t very difficult at all. If you have a high quality blog or web site that helps people learn how to make money online, then that is what I am looking for. Also, I want to stress that it does NOT matter how popular your blog or web site is, or there lack of. I don’t care if your blog is a PR4 or PR5 or even a PR0. That is not what I am looking for. When I choose to include a site, I am looking at the quality of the information you are providing people in their journey of learning how to make money online.
During my development stages, I am going to be manually adding a blend of blogs and sites for inclusion. I am already doing this right now. However, if you feel that you have a blog or web site that you’d like to see included — whether it is your own or a friend’s — you should use the comment form below and tell me about it. I will promise to review the site you suggest, but I can not promise that it will be included. Also, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to respond to your comment directly.
Suggestions On How To Get Your Site Included:
If you would like to increase the odds of having your blog or web site included here are a few suggestions that will help you.
- Make sure that your blog actually helps people learn how to make money online. There are many different ways to make money online and many different programs available. It is important to that your blog or web site that provides helpful information that actually helps people learn.
- Your blog or web site should provide readers and visitors with unique and high quality information. You should not syndicate, republish or distribute other already published content.
- It does not matter how popular your blog or web site is, or lack there of. Popularity does not hold weight towards consideration into the custom Make Money Online Search Engine. We look for quality in the content rather than how popular your blog or web site is.
- The custom Make Money Online Search Engine is an excellent way for you to increase traffic and find people who will read your blog or web site. Take your time and prepare your blog or web site prior to submitting your site for inclusion. If your blog or web site get included, it will be a huge win for your venture.
What Will The Future Hold For The Make Money Online Search Engine?
Once the search engine is built and I have the web site launched, I am going to provide end users with the ability to include the search bar on their web sites and blogs. If people really care about helping others learn how to make money online, then they will be eager to achieve this by also providing their readers with external resources. This takes place many times in blog posts already. When the search bar is installed in multiple blogs and sites, it will actually become a very nice source of traffic for your own site. If the search bar is installed on 100 blogs or web sites, consider how much additional traffic your various pages will receive.
Much more to come and I will keep you posted with the development. I actually intend to have the search engine completely developed and live on its permanent domain in less than a week. From that point on, there will be an online submission form for publishers who would like to have their site included.
In the mean time, if you would like to get your site or a site that you like included early, drop me a comment below with the information. Keep in mind, your comment will likely go into moderation without warning. Please do not double comment, as I will approve your comment very shortly.
Regardless of the success or failure of this project, one thing will remain true. The Make Money Online Search Engine will be my blog’s official mode for my readers to find not only content on my blog, but also content on external sites that I include into my engine.
