Don’t get Fooled! Online Tools and Practices You Don’t need to Earn Extra Money

In the quest to find tools that can help you earn extra money faster using the internet, beware. Countless ineffective or unnecessary tools and practices are being offered to webmasters.

Tools to Avoid Using

One of the most useless of all is those that claim they can get you into the top 10 of search engines in three days for a fee. This is possible, but it usually requires the implementation of a paid SEO service and not just some automated search engine submission software.

Furthermore, paid search engine submission is not needed. Yahoo, MSN, and Google submit your site for free. In fact, you do not even need to waste time submitting your site to these engines.

You may need to manually submit it to smaller search engines if you want to take advantage of more localized searching opportunities. This could benefit your organization or company in that it would help you be more visible within certain community listings.

However, at all costs be careful of automated site submission tools. In fact, if you query too many times in one day you can be charged with search engine spam.

This is similar to submitting excess and/or unwanted e-mails to people who do not even want to be on your list. Be very careful about using automated site submission tools.

Another online service and/or tool that you do not really need is link exchange software. Although it can be used to help others be aware of who you are it can be detrimental to your Google PR or Alexis ranking.

Try to resist the temptation of using link exchange software at all costs. Instead, it would be more beneficial to you to acquire hand-picked quality one or two way links by contact webmasters whose site you would like to include on your page.

Besides, backlinks are actually the most important types of links that you need. These are the links on other sites that lead to your site. A large number of high-quality backlinks will increase your Page Rank (PR) dramatically.

Useless Internet Practices to Steer Clear From

One futile practice you need to avoid is irrelevant, untargeted link advertisements. Sometimes this service is offered for as cheap as $2.95. However, you get what you pay for because your ads are not even placed on the pages you need them to be placed on.

What you do need instead is to invest your money into tools (or web design providers) to help you built an effective custom website. Furthermore, you also need to invest in interesting and informative content for your site.

Another very useless practice is to submit your site into directory categories which are totally irrelevant to the image of your business. You are almost never guaranteed to be found this way and if you are it could be counted against you. Try to resist the temptation to do this even if you think it would help.

Similarly, you are advised not to place search engine ads (i.e. Google AdWords) on search engine pages that do not pertain to the nature of your operation. In order to avoid this choose relevant Pay Per Click ads on pages that are relevant to your business.

You can do this by making sure you use keywords that best describe who you are, what you do, and who your market is.
