I will tell you this from experience. If you want to make passive online income, especially if that income is residual then you are going to need to learn all about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Why do I say this to you? Because in order to make income online you need many targeted visitors coming to your website and checking out what it is that you have to offer. Whether you are making your online passive income through advertising, selling products or services, or doing affiliate marketing if you have no traffic coming to your website then how do you expect to be making money from your websites?

Of course there are other ways to drive traffic to your website then just ranking high in search engines like Google or Yahoo. You can also pay for your ads to appear in search engine listings and you will get web traffic this way but you will need to pay for and monitor these ads at all times for them to be effective and make you income. Remember the focus of this website is to teach you methods and give you passive income ideas that you can implement. The meaning of passive is making income on autopilot once your business, website, or investment is set up.

So the reason you need to learn SEO is because once you master the basics of SEO you will have wiped out a lot of the competition in your niche. Many people out there don’t have a clue how to rank well on search engines. Once you have done that and you are ranking well you will get targeted web traffic for a long time to come.

At that point if you have your website set up properly and you have chosen an effective business model, you are almost guaranteed that you will start see a steady flow of extra income online that is residual and comes to you month after month on autopilot. Of course there is more to this game then just that and we will get into all of it at this website but for now start learning as much as possible about SEO and how to get some good rankings in Google and Yahoo.
