In this article, I’m going to show you the best techniques to make money online that have little or no cost and produce fast results. So first off, here’s one that does not involve any cost at all.

Let’s get back to those keywords I talked about in an earlier article, “This Is How You Spot The Best Affiliate Opportunities“. Remember the information keywords? Here we’ll use the buzz factor to cash in on viral publicity. It is as simple as setting up a blog and putting AdSense ads on it. We’ll then use the information keywords to drive unpaid traffic to it.

The crucial factor here is the keyword’s buzz factor. Is it hot enough for people to spread the word? Usually, celebrity news, politics, sports, etc. are the kind of news bits that will work here.

After you have picked the buzz worthy keywords, set up your blog and add your AdSense code to it. You need to get your adsense ad as much exposure as possible - so that you get a great click through rate on your ads, thereby exploding your income. You must now add a blog post about the keyword you’ve chosen. Don’t worry, you can copy and paste the news item itself for the blog post. Add a small article that is informative, with complete details of the news item.

Now you need traffic - and lots of it. How will you get it? Use the power of social bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit etc. These sites get awesome traffic that you want to cash in and that too without paying a dime. Create an account at these sites and submit your story as per the instructions.

Rather than do this manually, you have the option of using automation tools that can achieve this for you. We are talking about thirty minutes to AdSense income here, remember? Use these tools to submit your news items to plenty of social bookmarking sites and almost right away you will see floods of traffic targeted to your keywords. Make sure you read the site’s policy to avoid getting your item banned.

While you can create a new blog for each news item, it is better to post on one blog as it not only saves time but is also beneficial in terms of search engine optimization. Why lose search engine traffic?

To summarize, you can use high buzz high demand keywords to increase your AdSense income while leveraging the power of social bookmarking sites. You need to do this quickly and on time. If you delay, then you lose the power of the buzz factor of these keywords. Finding these keywords must be a continuous process and thanks to Google’s Hot trends it will be a matter of minutes before you zero in on your list.

One of the easiest ways to boost traffic to your websites almost instantly is through social bookmarking. Bookmarking refers to the practice of saving bookmarks to a website. For example, suppose you are collecting information on Search Engine Optimization. You’d naturally be visiting a number of websites. One or two among these would stand out by offering you the most valid, up-to-date information. But you obviously don’t have the time to read it all and implement the techniques at once. What do you do? Simple. Just bookmark the specific website and visit it later. This is bookmarking.

A number of social bookmarking websites allow you to register with them and store your bookmarks and tags. Visitors who come to these sites search for information on a topic by keywords or tags that you, the registered user, have created. Most sites rank your websites based on the number of bookmarks to your site. So, the more bookmarks you earn, the higher your site is ranked.

Bookmarking, as you can see, is something that you absolutely MUST incorporate into your website marketing campaign. The advantage comes from the fact that it is one of the most effective ways to get quality inbound links. While you may get some amounts of direct traffic from bookmarking, your main aim is to woo search engines which love websites that have inbound links. Google calculates the importance of a website from the number of links to the website.

Obviously bookmarking your website manually is going to get tedious. The trick is to automate your bookmarking so you can post to multiple bookmarking sites without wasting your time and energy doing each one by hand.

Social news websites , on the other hand, are sites where users submit stories on their own products or services, or they link to articles others have created regarding these. Readers can read and comment on the relevancy and usefulness of the articles. The more number of readers you attract, the higher your visibility. Some syndication sites allow people to vote and rank websites depending on the number of votes the site receives.

Now, here is the interesting bit: of the nearly million registered users at digg.com, a mere 30 people contribute a third of the stories that hit the front page! The advantage? While voting occurs in large numbers, all the cool stuff is being provided by a small group of people. And that is the statistics for just ONE popular site. So, how much traffic do you think you can generate simply by submitting your Blog posts to different story submission services? There are hundreds of sites out there and all you need to do is find those that are relevant to your niche.

Both bookmarking and syndication are valuable additions to your traffic promotion and content exposure tactics. Together, they cover some of the best uses of Web 2.0 technologies and complement each other nicely. All you need in both cases is some good copywriting skills and some special attention paid to clear, effective titling. And of course, some amount of content generation on a regular basis. You’ll be surprised at how much serious web traffic you can generate using these two simple methods. And the best part is: you don’t even have to do it yourself, just automate the process and you can post to many services in one go! Driving traffic to your website just got as easy as write, click and go!
