Try out your niche with AdWords just prior to you start performing any Search Engine Optimisation. The principal cause you ought to perform this is actually due to the fact that you need to realize what kind of keywords and phrases will certainly offer you with income. You’re going to most likely discover that about 90% on the key phrases would not enable you to generate any cash. The primary purpose is that the majority of the searches inside your niche tend to be coming from individuals who do not have any intention of shopping for anything at all.

Quick Ways to Make Money - Keyword Sniping
Posted by David Hirsch in SEO on February 3rd, 2010
Many people are looking for the fastest and cheapest way to make money at home online, and the most efficient way to achieve SEO optimization. The best way - known as “Keyword Targeting” and sometimes referred to as “Keyword Sniping”, is misunderstood.
First of all, the concept of keyword targeting is based on looking for specific “long tail keywords”. These are keyword phrases of three words or more which are relevant to the subject matter of the product being sold.
Many people also misunderstand what is meant by the term “long tail keywords”. They are not simply keyword phrases that are long. The term is based on a graph of phrase popularity versus search volume.
Imagine a graph where low-to-high search volume is on the vertical scale and high-to-low phrase popularity is on the horizontal scale. On such a graph you’ll see that the most basic and popular one or two word keyword phrases have high popularity and high search volume (and TREMENDOUS competition). But the longer and more specific keyword phrases tend to have much lower popularity and much lower search volume (and much less competition).
Let’s take an example. The term “weight loss” is basic, extremely popular and nearly impossible to rank for on Google. That’s because it has 347 million competitors. As you lengthen the phrase - for example: “weight loss after pregnancy”, you find that as of this date there are only 43,600 competitors. If you go even further: “weight loss programs after pregnancy”, you find only 8 competitors.
If you recall the graph we talked about earlier, you would see a “suicide ski jump” type curve. It would start at the top left with the broad one or two word phrases and continue steeply downward as we go through the longer, narrower, more specific keyword phrases.
It’s the position of these narrow, specific phrases on the “long tail” of our imaginary graph that gives them their name. They are essential to making money quick on the Internet, because they are very numerous, and they each have very small competition.
It’s also true that each one has very little search volume. But if you string enough of them together in an article marketing campaign, you stand a good chance of ranking on the first page of Google for several of them. Add the combined small search volumes together for each of these long tail keywords, and you can get fairly decent traffic.
So far, this has all been theoretical. The question is - does any of it really work? You will find that intuition and instinct, as well as experience will all be factors. But this is where most people misunderstand how to target.
You see, you have to do more than just compare competition to search volume. You must also consider the nature of the competition among your top ten competitors for that phrase. Why? Because unless your phrase appears on the first page of Google, you won’t get ANY traffic. For example, if each of your top ten competitors has numerous high quality backlinks from credible sites, and they each have a Google PR of 4 or better, you will have problems appearing on the first page of results for that phrase.
Those who are experienced in “keyword targeting” are able to do this. They can pick out the phrases that have a good balance of competition versus search volume, yet can compete for a slot in the top ten.
How? I’ll discuss the parameters they look for and the tools they use in a future article.

Keyword Research Made Simple
Posted by Michael H. Fleischner in SEO on December 3rd, 2009
To achieve top search engine rankings you can gain an advantage by focusing on keyword research. After working with dozens of clients on competing effectively in a given niche, I’ve discovered how powerful the right type of keyword research can be for generating improved rankings and traffic. When competing in a difficult niche, the keywords you select can make the difference between long term success or failure.
The first step is finding a keyword that doesn’t have a lot of competition. Once you do, the next step is to make sure that the keyword you have selected gets enough traffic. Don’t overlook this very critical aspect of keyword research. I worked with a company that was proud of their number one rankings. When I did some research to find out the type of traffic they could expect, I found less than one hundred searches each month on the keyword they selected. Even with top rankings, they would never see the traffic they expected.
Assuming that you have been able to find a keyword phrase that doesn’t have a great deal of competition and a sufficient amount of traffic, it’s time to look at your competition. You are competing against other web sites who currently rank in the top few positions for your chosen keyword. Visit each of these top ranked sites to determine their Google page rank, age, and the number of sites linking to them. The more inbound links they have the more difficult they will be to outrank.
After you’ve selected the keywords you want to compete for, it’s time to enhance your web pages using the chosen keywords. Begin by enhancing your meta tags, page titles, and copy, including your keywords where appropriate. By including your keywords in this manner, you’re telling search engines what your web site is about. This allows the engines to rank your site for appropriate keywords. In addition to the on page factors, Google considers off page factors to determine web site ranking. Off page optimization involves generating links from third party websites. Focus your efforts on link building through article directories, web site directories, blogs, social bookmarking sites, and other sites.
Your web site optimization strategy should include a plan for consistent link building. Build links too slowly and you’ll never get the authority needed to achieve the number one ranking. Develop links too quickly and search engines may think you’re up to no good. If you want to improve your organic search engine results, begin with keyword research before link building. Having the right keywords makes the difference in your overall optimization results. Update your meta tags and web pages to integrate your keyword phrase, focus on link building over the long term, and you’re sure to achieve search engine dominance.

Folksonomies” - a New Viral Marketing Tool
Posted by Damon Nelson in Viral Marketing on November 26th, 2009
A new consumer phenomenon is called “tagging” or “folksonomies” (short for folks and taxonomy). Tagging is powerful because consumers are creating an organizational structure for online content. Folksonomies not only enable people to file away content under tags, but, even better, share it with others by filing it under a global taxonomy that they created.
Allow me to show you different tools that makes tagging a lot easier. You may use sites such as del.icio.us– which is sharing site for bookmarks, and Flickr — a popular photo sharing website. These online sites allow users to collaborate and categorize content by using tags or keywords.
For instance, an individual can post photographs of their iPod on Flickr and file it under the tag “iPod.” These images are now not only visible under the individual user’s iPod tag but also under the community iPod tag that displays all images consumers are generating and filing under the keyword. Right now Flickr has more than 3,500 photos that are labeled “iPod.”
Tagging is catching on because it is a natural complement to search. Type the word “blogs” into Google and it can’t tell if you are searching for information about how to launch a blog, how to read blogs, or just what. Large and small sites alike are already getting on to the folksonomy train. They are rolling out tag-like structures to help users more easily locate content that’s relevant to them.
Although tags are far from perfect, marketers should, nevertheless, be using them to keep a finger on the pulse of the American public. Start subscribing to RSS feeds to monitor how consumers are tagging information related to your product, service, company or space. These are living focus groups that are available for free, 24/7. Folksonomy sites can be also be carefully used to unleash viral marketing campaigns - with a caveat. Marketers should be transparent in who they are, why they are posting the link/photos and avoid spamming the services.
