How to Add a Business to Google Maps
1. Check Google Maps to determine whether your business is already listed. The website already has a wide variety of listings, and you may find that you do not need to add your business. If you feel that the information currently listed is incorrect, you can correct it by following the same process as you would to add your business.
2. Prepare the information you will need to add your business to Google Maps. In addition to your address and contact information, Google requires you to categorize your business, as well as list operating hours and payment information. You also have the option to submit a digital photo of your business, which could be beneficial in helping customers locate your headquarters.
3. Visit the Google Maps Local Business Center website (see Resources below) to upload your information and your photograph.
4. Add information to your listing by creating custom attributes. Google Maps allows you to add information to your listing by selecting the 'Create your own' button. Examples of custom attributes are listing specialties of your business, the areas your business serves or your estimate procedure.
5. Choose a validation method. You can opt to have the Google staff call you at your business phone number, text your cell phone number or mail a postcard to your business address. With either method, you will receive a PIN number to enter into the website. Validation protects your business' entry from being edited by anyone not associated with your company.
6. Ask your customers to write positive reviews of your business on Google Maps. To write a review, they will need to select your business in Google Maps and choose the button that says 'Write a review.' In addition to writing a review, customers can also give your business a ranking of up to 5 stars.

How to Find the Highest Paying Keywords for Pay
1. Make a list of topics that are relevant to your small business marketing campaign. These general topics will be useful to help create a list of specific keywords for your ad campaign. Many PPC ad providers -- including the largest, Google AdWords -- don't publish keyword costs, since they are sold by bid. However, a survey by Internet-marketing blog WordStream identified some of the top-paying keywords, with 'insurance' being the most expensive, at more than $54 per click. Other top keywords include: loans, mortgage, attorney, credit, lawyer, donate, degree, hosting, claim and conference call.
2. Find search engine keyword tools that can help identify the top keywords. While these searches won't provide dollar values for PPC ads, they will show which keywords are getting the most traffic and therefore, will require the highest bids. Google AdWords provides several keyword evaluation tools, including a keyword tool that tells you what words are in high demand and approximate monthly search volume. One alternative to Google AdWords is the Bing Ads, a Microsoft/Yahoo collaboration that offers similar search tools. Other options include BidVertiser, AdClickMedia and 7Search, all of which also provide keyword tools.
3. Add results from other PPC tools to improve your keyword lists and find the highest-paying search terms. The Google AdWords contextual targeting tool will provide groups of keywords based on a keyword search and give suggested bid prices for the keywords. For example, the term 'options trading' produces a series of results, including 'options trading software' and 'learn options trading.' The Google Trend search engine shows how often users type in popular keywords and tracks the search results over time.
4. Use social media sites to expand your keyword list and find related search terms. According to Search Engine Watch, the auto-fill functions on social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn can also provide useful information on finding high-priced keywords. These social media search engine results will provide auto-fill results that are similar to the keywords you've typed, giving you additional terms for your keyword list and expanding the possibility of finding high-paying keywords or terms.
How to Install The Google Sitemaps Plugin in a WordPress Blog
1. Download the Google Sitemap plugin to your computer. You can find the link for this in the Resources section below, or just search for the Google Sitemap plugin on the WordPress plugin page.
2. Sign onto your web host. This will vary from user to user. If you use free WordPress and not a host, you cannot use plugins.
3. Find wp-content/plugins directory on your hosting site. Upload the zip file (google-sitemap-generator.3.1.0.1.zip or higher) to the plugins folder.
4. Extract the zipped files.
5. Make two different files (named sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz) and upload via FTP to your directory. The directory is usually called wp-config.php. Althought you do not want your whole site to be writable, you do want these two new files to be writable via CHMOD 666.
6. Go into your plugins on WordPress and activate the newly added sitemap.

How to Earn Money Today Online
1. Become a web content publisher by writing for websites like eHow or Associated Content. When you write an article online, people will begin reading that article almost immediately after it hits the world wide web, earning you money today. Many of these sites offer real time statistics where you can see exactly how much you made.
2. Sell stuff on ebay. Everyone has a box of miscellaneous knick knacks in their closet or garage which they will never use again. Believe it or not, that candlestick holder or hideous vase you got for your wedding ten years ago and never used can be sold on ebay and become a treasure for someone else. Ebay will take some time to earn income, but most of the work can be done in just moments.
3. Do you have a blog? Ad some ads to your blog. Many people blog just for fun and think that only their family sees their page, but they would be wrong. Search engines pick up even personal blogs. Over time a handful of Google Adsense ad clicks could add up to be a lot of money. Google Adsense also begins to add up instantly as people click the ads.
4. If you don't have a blog, you can start one. You can either start fresh by setting up a blog through wordpress.com or blogger.com and put up some Google Adsense ads as suggested in the last step or there are several blogging services out there that will take care of advertising and pay you either a flat fee per post or a flat fee per hit on the blog. One of these services is Today.com. I recommend setting up your own blog and adding Google Adsense as you are likely to earn more money that way.
5. Sign up for café press or another drop shipping service. These places may not produce money from day one and can be time consuming however they can generate a substantial supplemental income in a short period of time if marketed properly. Drop shipping means that you sell it and someone else ships it and allows you to keep a portion of the profits.
