Go to the top right hand corner of your computer screen and click on the little red box with the X in it. Now! Someone is trying to turn a quick buck over your desire to make money working at home. And what will you get for your $49.95, yet another round of frustration and disappointment. I don't know about you, but I've been there, done that.

So you're new to the game (the technical term is “newbie”) and you're already tired of empty promises and a quickly thinning wallet. You have an affiliate website picked out or one you really think you can turn into a residual income generating monster. So what do you do now?

What do you do now?

That's a good question. Your new affiliate website is a “carbon copy” of 100 to 1000 websites identical to your own. Is there a way to distinguish your website from the other hopeful runners in the race to the finish line?

As a matter of fact, there is!

And believe it or not, you're already here.

Think hard!

If you are reading this article, you are looking for a way to make money online. Hello? If you already knew how, you wouldn't be reading this. Now would you? I didn't think so. You can accomplish six months worth of SEO simply by submitting a single article to Ezine @rticles. Perhaps you can't figure out how to get your website a page one ranking on Google. But a well written, content rich, article can shoot to page one for all your key word search terms in a matter of days after posting.

Fact, Google, Yahoo, and MSN love Ezine Articles. Ezine Articles is the granddaddy of all articles directories. Ezine Articles has a long established track record for providing content rich information to the masses. Their level of credibility is unsurpassed in the online arena. The search engine spiders are just waiting to jump on the next article that receives the Ezine seal of approval. And the second they find it, they'll pounce!

Longevity is yet another key factor to consider when you're trying to break into the online business world. There are Ezine articles that have been sitting on page one of Google for years, ranking in highly competitive key word phrases such as, make money online, work at home business, and residual income. Think how much long term traffic you can generate to your website with a page one ranking in your selected key word phrases. You are suddenly no longer just another affiliate program marketer. You are now a page one ranked author in Google's search engine with a back link directed straight to your website in your resource box. That is the quintessential essences of the term SEO.

Can you think of a better way to start generating traffic to your website on a budget? Exactly! There is none. Article submission is, by far, the best and easiest way to stand out from the crowd in an endless sea of affiliate websites. And the best part is, it's free!

The power of the written word is the key to success.

If you want to get your home based business off the ground, stop reading and start typing. Type, type, and then type some more. Don't stop, even if you feel like you're wasting your time. You may feel that way now. But you'll become a believer the second you see your article sitting on Google's first page.

One final note to save you needless frustration:

If you submit an article with an affiliate link in the resource box, your article will not be approved. You must either purchase a Domain name and use a redirect, or create a landing page. This distinguishes the serious publisher from anyone looking to just make a quick buck in Ezine's eyes. Call this a FREE piece of advice, one most Internet Gurus will not share with you.
