Cash for Content

If ten-thousand people wanted you to tell them something about your life, your experiences, maybe your occupation, and were willing to pay you $20 each time, would you do it? You bet you would! If the demand is there, and the payment far exceeds the cost, you’d be crazy not to!

The real life truth is there are literally millions of people willing to pay good money for one thing: information.

Why? Because success on the internet is dependent on new information.

Information is the content for the millions of websites on the internet. Content is the number one factor in how well a website ranks on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and all other search engines.

Each search engine puts out little robots that constantly search all the websites on the internet. The robots look for unique content. When they find a website that has fresh content, the website’s rank increases. The higher the rank, the closer it is to becoming number one on the search engines.

The goal of each website owner is to be on the first page of the search engine results, because it’s the best way the site will make money.

It’s widely known that continually adding new content to a website will bring back the search engine robots more frequently. This allows new web pages to get indexed
quicker and gives site owners an extra step ahead of the competition. As the
internet becomes more competitive the thirst for new unique content will grow massively.

The Web is now expanding at such a rapid pace that the number of registered websites have increased from 100 million in November 2006 to over 118 million in May of 2007. This strong growth trend is only expected to increase.

In May 2007 Netcraft.com’s search engine robots received responses from 118,023,363 websites. That’s over 118 million websites.

Even more impressive than that, is this number is only the amount of websites on the internet. It’s not counting all of the billions of web pages that make up all of the active websites.
