Google has an advanced search feature. This feature tells us what Google thinks the searcher wants. Some of the search criteria includes: Date, usage rights, and where the keyword shows up on the page. Let's look at the where the keywords shows up feature.
The four options are: In the title of the page; in text of the page; in url of the page; and in links to the page. So at bare minimum you'd want your keyword as the title, in the url(you can do it as a sub-url, if your blog is www dot make money dot com and the query is make money online with affiliate programs and the sub part is online affiliate programs you have all the keywords in the url), text of the page is easy, and finally in links to the page.
So if you want to be a true SEO master you want to optimize each of those four factors. How would Google distinguish which is the better fit for a searchers query?
For title, google doesn't seem to favor exact matches and it doesn't seem to really look for sub pages. For google, it seems to be either is the keyword in the title of the page or not? This seems to be a point for keyword sniping.
The results for searching for within title and text seem to be remarkably similar. Again is the keyword in the text or not?
URL is the same deal. Although, searching for within the url seems to bring up more sites with the keyword in subpages of the url. This is a point against sniping as if you can just include your keyword anywhere in a long url you can just alter your title to include all the main keywords.
In searching for links to the page, the results seem pretty similar as well but you get results that are google bombed with the keyword nowhere in the title or url but are pretty synonymous(grow taller vs. height increase).
Now, there's a rumor that linking to other sites using keywords as anchor helps ranking. I think this is true. Let's say your keyword is make money online. If you link to a site that's www dot make money online dot com, with make money online as the anchor plus has make money online as the title and within the text; don't you think Google is going to look at that as good for your pages relevancy?
Looking at all the four factors I got starred results for my main website except for all in title. Rest assured I'm changing the title of my page :)

Making Money by Blogs or Incentivized Websites
The amount of money you can make by blogs seems low in the beginning but it eventually becomes passive income. With any money making method you need to get traffic. Being smart and having good ideas isn't worth a cup of coffee at starbucks. It's the ability of those intelligent thoughts to attract traffic. Important pubmed articles on fat loss rank way down low in the search engines. While inaccurate information like the BMI reigns supreme. Search engines like google do not seem to be interested in providing people with the correct information but rather the one with the most backlinks.
With websites designed to garner traffic the ideal traffic is those with more money than sense. You can monetize smart traffic by building alliances and developing new ideas. However, most people just want that money. Incentivized websites like Neobux where you get a percentage of income for every click that your referrals make seems like a good alternative seems like a good alternative than to target credit card happy people. Instead of targeting people with money, you're targeting people with time. This is a lot like monetizing smart traffic where you're recruiting people's minds and ideas by ranking high in the search engines.
With sites like Neobux, you make pennies a day. With a website, you can make a cent for just 20 people visiting and you can do that just by ranking for fluke things or by advertising on forums. The way to make money by Neobuxian-websites is by referrals and to do that you need to either do social marketing(making friends on forums or games and then selling to them by IM), SEO marketing(which makes it competing with building links for other websites), or by PPC advertising. With the amount PPC costs you need targeted traffic that will click on ads for a long time to benefit from PPC. SEO is based on economic theory of opportunity cost and I think in most situations ranking your website to get referrals for an incentivized website will lose to building links for another niche. Make Money Online is an extremely competitive niche after all and some of the top people do have referral links to incentivized websites. Social marketing is the best for this. Gamers are the best because they have Pavlonian training to click for a reward. You can also offer free game items to people who sign up using your refferal link.
If you play a lot of games, then go the neobux and neobuxian sites route. If you want to do SEO, then either recruit traffic who have ideas or credit card happy traffic.
