If you have a website and have been interested in making money with things like AdSense and AdWords, then you may have heard a lot about making money with Google SEO. SEO stands for ’search engine optimization,’ and it basically refers to making your website as search engine friendly as possible. This means that your site is easy for search engines to read and index, that the different pages are tagged appropriately, that you make good and proper use of keywords in your content and your articles, and that each page is named and categorized correctly.

Search engine optimization is basically what makes a site pop up at the top of Google when someone searches for it. Traffic also has a lot to do with your ranking on Google, but your site could get plenty of traffic and still not rank well if it is not search engine optimized.

The beauty of Google SEO and other methods of earning passive streams of income, such as Google AdSense and Google AdWords, is that you can make enough to quit your job while you sleep. The word ‘passive’ means just that; once you have set up your site and have enough content to attract readers, the money practically makes itself. Of course, you will need to update your site from time to time, the more often the better in Google’s eyes. But it is much easier than getting up when the alarm rings, taking a shower, bolting a cup of coffee and fighting your city’s rush hour in order to get to work and sit at your desk all day.

There is a lot of information out there about how to earn a steady, recession-proof income online by having multiple passive streams of income. Learning how to make money with Google SEO is just one of the tools in your online moneymaking toolbox.

So how do you get started? First you will need a website, preferably about something you are already interested in and have a lot to say about. Then you will need hosting, a domain name, an AdSense and AdWords account and probably various affiliate membership programs. Then all you need to do is let your ideas fly and sit back and enjoy the money! There is something of a learning curve, especially if you are not used to computers, but the only way you’ll ever find out if this way of making money is for you is if you get in there and give it a try.
