How to Improve Article Content and Increase Passive Income from Freelance Writing

If you are not getting the passive income results you want from article content in your blog, or on freelance writing sites, step back and take a look at what you’re doing to see if you need to make a few changes. Sometimes all it takes is to make a few adjustments and dead articles can come to life  and start making money online.

Here’s a few simple tips for increasing passive income with your blog, or rev share articles.

1) Inspect the ads surrounding your article.

If you wrote an article targeting a specific keyword phrase, but the ads surrounding your article are not relevant to the keyword, you need to make some changes. Irrelevant Google ads can be caused by lack of keyword repetition in your article, or the use of the wrong keywords. You won’t make any money if the ads are irrelevant to the article content. Repeat the keyword a few more times in the article, or add a few related keywords to your article to trigger the right ads. It might take an hour or so for the changes to show up on the site, or your blog.

Increase Web Traffic To Your Content Through DoFollow Backlinks

Although high ranked article content can earn passive income for several months, or even years, the article probably won’t remain in that #1 spot without additional promotional effort at some point. Competing sites can create hundreds, or even thousands of backlinks, and eventually pass ahead of your content.

One way you can help keep your articles strong and listed on the first page of Google is by creating tons of quality backlinks. Creating backlinks sucks and it’s extremely boring, but it’s really important and you will have to do it.

The more quality backlinks you create, the more web traffic you’ll get from Google, Yahoo and smaller search engines. This takes work and a lot of patience, since it usually takes Google a while to find the backlinks. In fact, it can take 3 weeks, or even 3 months, for the backlinks to start showing up.

In order for your backlinks to work well, make sure you’re using anchor text for the hyper linked keyword in your article. The keyword in the anchor text should be the same keyword that appears in the title of the article you’re linking too.
