About
Making Cash On The Web is a serious attempt to compile useful information about making money on the internet. It is a combination of things that I have learned myself, as well as information culled from other sources. It is NOT about get rich quick schemes, or wierd marketing programs. I am not going to sell you anything.
If you don't yet have a website but want to get started making cash on the web, start here.

Although much of this post from Biz Stone is focused on Blogger dot com, there is advice here for everyone.
Google Pagerank Basics
Getting a high PageRank from Google seems to be the holy grail among webmasters. Here’s a introduction to Google Pagerank.
Rankwhere
Rankwhere is a website that lets you determine where your site ranks in the different search engines. It also has a page that lets you find the Google Pagerank for any particular site.
To use it, you just type in a couple of keywords into one box, your site’s address into another and click go. Rankwhere checks with Google, MSN, All The Web, Yahoo and others, and finds out where your site came up in the search for that term.
This is useful if you are trying to find out what keywords the search engines are associating with your site. It can also tell you how successful you have been in working the proper terms into your site.
Promoting Your Site: Guerilla Marketing
Once you’ve submited your sites to the search engines and have chased down a few links, there are a few other things that you can do to promote your site:
First, add your website’s name to your email’s tagline. Most email programs allow you to automatically add a line or two of text at the bottom of every email. This way, every time you send an email, people will see your website’s name and address.
Next, begin haunting newsgroups and forums related to your topic. Get involved in the conversations. Add your website’s address to the bottom of every message you post. If someone asks a question, and you have written something on that subject, refer them to the article on your site.
Even sneakier: when someone asks a question about something you know the answer to, add a quick post on your site, and THEN refer them to that page.
This next happens a lot to me, although I don’t use it much. Go to a highly ranked website that takes reader comments—another weblog—and leave a comment on an appropriate post or two. Add your website’s address to the bottom of your comments. People reading the article on the more popular site will then see your comment, and your url.
