It used to be that every guide out there simple said that pay per click was the way forward for marketers who were serious about making money online. The only problem is that everyone has read these guide and this has led to PPC sites being swamped with members, pushing the prices of keywords right up. Now the average marketer can't use PPC click because of the prices and the gamble that they would take with their own money. There are system that work similar to pay per click available that are free though they normally work with you having to put html code on your site to earn impressions and this can lead to problems if your site isn't getting much traffic to start with.

Once your site is listed then you need to make sure that your content is good and your html code has to be correct to get the best search engine ranking. Another way to improve your ranking is to get links from sites that are higher ranking than yours. High quality links allow you to go up the search engine rankings.
