My daughter, the budding young search engine optimizer
I was describing the other day to my 14-year old daughter Chloe about how websites make money by displaying Google ads. Faster than you could say "AdSense" she abandoned her idea of starting a dog walking business and embarked on building a website about cheats, tips, giveaways, backgrounds etc. for the hugely popular Neopets.com. It's a website that she knows inside and out, I might add! Using a couple keyword research tools I showed her, she decided what to name her site and what to focus her first pages of content on. She's going to continue building content before worrying about the Google ads. A wise decision.
Of course for her plan for world domination, er, easy money, to work, she needs links. I'll do the honors and be her first inbound link, and here it is: The Ultimate Neopet Cheats Site. Note that she's targeted "Neopet cheats" instead of the more grammatically correct "Neopets cheats" because ranking highly for the former will be a much more attainable goal, and it's still fairly popular with searchers.
Anyone else willing to link to Chloe's first website? She'll be very grateful! :-)
UPDATE: My daughter has now moved her Neopets Cheats site off of WordPress.com, due to their policy of forbidding the posting of AdSense ads.

[...] MySpace is a real slice of humanity. Amongst the throngs of teenagers (many of which have their profiles set to private), the MySpace ecosystem is host to concerned parents trying to keep tabs on their kids, college students, obsessed sports fans, CEOs and realtors. In other words, the Average Joe or Jane. And of course marketers. Clueless marketers. I’ll readily admit I’m one of the clueless ones. Thankfully there is someone I can lean for guidance through this teen marketing minefield… my 15 year old daughter Chloe. You may recall she’s the one with the Neopets blog whom I’ve blogged about before (BTW, she was featured recently on BloggerStories.com… I’m so proud of her!). Chloe has a MySpace page (a private one, so don’t bother looking), and she gets MySpace. I plan to enlist Chloe’s help in marketing within MySpace. At 15, she’ll be the youngest marketing consultant I know! [...]
