There’s a large group of Internet users called bloggers, they spend many hours a day both reading and writing diary like web sites called weblogs or blogs.

I (actually my business) own a lot of blogs, they generate a lot of links from other bloggers who find your type of writing/content interesting. If you lack a talent for writing don’t worry, you can always do image blogs like this Picture Blog until you find a niche.

So far the images on that blog are from a cheap digital camera, all are taken by myself or my family (wife and three young lads). If we keep adding new images it will generate links, we can then link from that site to other sites that make money.

As a side note you can pay people to blog for you, my kids for example do blogs which I use for links to important sites. In return they get the AdSense income from the blogs.

If you are looking for blog software look at WordPress first (it’s great from an SEO perspective) and the Free AdSense and SEO themes we’ve created at the Make Money Online Guide will help monetise them.

Bloggers are link happy, they’ll link to almost anything for no reason at all. Great as an SEO consultant if you can harness that link power for your own websites.

Other blog options are copying your industry news and commenting on it (avoid copying whole articles though, this reduces duplicate content AND copyright problems). Take a snippet of a news story, post it to your blog and make a paragraph sized comment.

Before you know it you have a 50 page web site filled with relevant SEO optimised content that you can link from to your important websites.

This won’t generate as many links as completely organic/original content, but may get your creative juices flowing and have you sculpting blog master pieces in no time.

My son for example created a World of Warcraft Blog (an online game) recently which lists World of Warcraft in game quests, he provides guides on how to complete the quests quickly. This should generate lots of links long term.
