Understanding Keyword On-Page SEO Optimization
When you’re optimizing your pages for search engines you need to know what search engines like Google actually “see” from your pages and how to optimize your pages for multiple keywords.
Here’s a question I got from a friend and I’ll use it as an example to explain a slightly more advanced on-page SEO:
> I’m still learning how to use the brain stormer and figuring out the best pages to write. I would like to write a check list page and want to hear your thoughts about which page is best.
>
> Supply Demand Profitability
>
>
> Free Planner 1081 567 2332
>
> Wedding Planning Checklist 6069 1136 5342
>
> Free Wedding Checklist 918 59 15559
>
> Free Organizer 1101 181 6083
>
> The profitability is higher for the Free Wedding Checklist, but is it better to go with the Wedding Planning Checklist because they have a higher supply even though the profitability is less?
What It Takes To Succeed Online
I got an email a few days ago from a lady wondering whether it’s worth investing time in online business and whether this really works. Here’s her email and my reply below…
Hi Tomaz,
My name is S….. and I am a former SBI owner who is considering signing up again. I had a travel website that I did not follow through on because I got stuck on and frustrated with the technical aspects of building a website but I am willing to try again and push through the pain so to speak because I want financial independence.
I was also not sure how I would effectively monetize a travel website. I contacted SBI but the advisor I spoke to didn’t have concrete suggestions but I checked the results.sitesell.com page per our conversation and contacted the owner of ________.com since that is a travel website about the town of ___ at _____ island and my website would be about the island of ______.
Long story short he doesn’t endorse SBI per say and he doesn’t endorse doing a travel website either. He knows who you are from your postings in the forums and says you are a straight shooter. You guys started at the same time but you are a success and he is not.
I’m trying to figure out what went wrong for him. He did everything right from what I can tell. He followed the Action Guide, has lots of pages, did a video, has 500 unique visitors a day and yet he is not profitable. I find it hard to believe that it is impossible for him to make money with a travel website, especially about ______. He is considering a different topic.
I don’t want to sign up for SBI, do ALL OF THAT WORK only to get nowhere. Can you please weigh in on this.

5 Myths About Google Penalization
There are all sorts of penalization myths going around and I thought I’d share my views about them. Just using the word “myths” should give you the first hint what they really are. 
Here are the most common myths of why Google and other search engines might penalize your site:
1.Will Google penalize me if I link to non-related sites?
No, unless you link to porn or sites that spread malware and other crap. The Internet is a World Wide Web which means that websites interlink with each other in many different ways.
If you write about your topic you’ll link most of the times to sites that are related to your topic – since you want your visitors to learn more. Read more
