Just type your domian name into google and alot of similar variations will come up.. try that on other search engines too.. however if you want to rank well for specific keywords then you will need to traget keywords which get a good amount of month searches but dont have tons of competition.. for example something like `best US small cap stocks` again it depends on many factors..are you going to create a gant site with 100`s of pages??
Looked at your site.. actually the template is very nice.. are you getting decent traffic?? I am investing in stocks too.
Actually getting really good traffic though I know nothing about SEO, Marketing, Keywords, ETC so have yet to pursue anything which I believe is hurting my site. - Alexa Popularity Rank: 163,742 - Twitter Followers: 6,000+ - Google Pagerank: 2 - Back Links: 4,000+ - Monthly Unique Visits: 10,000+ - Monthly Visits: 18,500+ - Monthly Pageviews: 100,000+ (Last updated: July 2010) http://stocksonwallstreet.net/advertise-on-stocks-on-wall-street/ Yes probalby will create a Giant site, as for ranking in keywords whats the best way to do it Google Adwords, buying links, etc?
Here is a list of keywords I've made for you using Xedant.com Keyword Database as an example of what keywords you may target, because you website concerning stocks is a nice one: To make it clear, here is a list of columns in this table: Keywords Google Adwords CPC (in cents) Google Searches Local Google Searches Average Google Searches Adwords Competition Adwords Cost Month
When you have gotten a keyword to target, most especially one that has high monthly global searche volume at Google Adword Keywrod Tool but low websites competing for the keyword when taken to Google.com (probably thousands and not million), then be using such keyword. But to overtake your competing sites, do "your keyword" at Google.com, then check for the number back-links and page rank (PR) possessed by the sites at the first three positions, then find a way of having more back-links (probably by buying) than those sites (most especially those with PR<4), you will instantly over take or rise above those sites with that keyword you are targeting for your site.
Domain is around a year old have the .com to so just figuring out how to index them best. Thanks for the keyword tool.
How do you want to make money from your site? Or do you just want traffic for the sake of traffic? Who is your audience. Who is your website for and what is the value you offer to your readership/visitors? I mean I can analyze your site with all kinds of tools and try to make sense of it with my own judgment, but its your site. What do you hope to accomplish with it? Do you have it plugged into Google analytics so you can analyze where your traffic is coming from and what interests them about your site, where are they clicking out..ect? Your getting more than enough traffic to make some decent analytics. Then after this you can get into some smart seo! I mean target which keywords to what end? You could add "stocks on wall street" to your meta desc. but it looks like you don't really need it. You have several pages, and I'm sure its not only your home page that's bringing you traffic, use your Google analytics! Doesn't look like you are advertising anything at all on the site and if you want to monetize it I see two nice possibilities. No, its not adsense, that would ruin your site. By the way, that is a very nice template, what is it? Well, I hope my rambling helps.
Thanks 1. As of right now I make money through Affiliate Sales use to sell Advertisements and before that used Adsense and all those. 2. Want traffic to grow my site even further my audience is mostly anyone interested in the stock market and value I offer is a new fresh perspective that is more personalized. 3. Hope to make my site bigger get 20,000 visits a month now but want to double that at least. 4. Use analytics to get some info and have been doing things but main thing is I have made lots of money on my site but invested very little. 5. How would you go about monetizing my website and I will try and find out where I got the template.
Not to get very detailed, cause it can! here are a few things. Well, according to Google your site is mostly relevant to stocks, trading, stock market..ect (Google keyword tool, website analyser - united states, exact match, all pages in URL), this is often a underestimated tool which tells you what Google finds relevant about your site. Remember, for your existing site look at the broad important subjects and work your way down to smaller niche topics penny stocks to (5), penny stock picks (5), penny stocks (23), penny stock (15), stock market (17), stock picks (11), day trading (11), stock trading (11), forex trading (6), stock (30), trading (16), stocks (20), forex (7), Miscellaneous keywords (23) Anyways you can use this to have an idea how to develop more content, (more subjects/topics under these keywords) that should bring more relevance, and more LSI keywords and more traffic. Possibly more associate topics (pages) under the subject of stocks, which by the way is your sites overall theme. You could use keyword tools to identify the more popular topics and build from there. Vary anchor text (for your most important keywords) to link back to your site and for inner pages as well. Basically you want to help your visitors, (under the broad term "stocks") to be informed and to make better choices concerning all the topics under your broad term. I saw the term "forex" mentioned several times in the Google KW analysis of your site but could not easily find that subject matter skimming your site. Do some research to find what you think is good concerning stock market analysis software (have to be affiliate programs) and devote a site page and sub pages for individual programs, example, plug "stock market software" into KW tool, pull out some good traffic relevant KW for this pages topics - and then make subpages for these topics. example, plug stock market forex into KW tool, "forex trading" looks to be a good term for a sub page title, and then you can write about all kinds of Forex topics (find more keywords, and there's tons, hint..goldmine!) on this page! So make a page in your navigation that is easy to find, "stock market software" and work down. You have email list building, it is easier to sell something once you build a relationship with someone. You build trust and confidence. learn about what you are selling and work it in your latest updates (in a very relevant way) 4-2 times a month. It is important to realize that you have built up your site without being "salesy", so be careful to keep that way. Offer things that you genuinely (I know nothing about stocks except that they go up and down) believe will help your readers make better decisions in the way of using the stock market. (good relevant affiliate programs). And make these things relatively easy to find and check out on your site. Example, your book reviews, put a tasteful Amazon link right underneath the pictures. Have the most important and useful information available to your readers with the least amount of clicks! They'll love you for it! Excellent work with your site so far by the way. I hope this helps. Cheers! PS. Do not sell advertising space, use that space yourself or you will be throwing away a ton of money!
you should not sell advertising space because you can earn more than that by plugging in CPA offers or any other good ones. let me know if you need any assistance with it.
Well probably because you can monetize it on your own unless you can find a company that will pay you more than if you were to find an affiliate program/cpa/ppc ect. to advertise yourself of lesser value. Well established companies are creating affiliate programs all the time to remain competitive in the online market place. Who wants to spend thousands or perhaps millions on advertising when they can get affiliate marketers to do the work for a commission? But again, this all comes down to your personal preferences and research. Cheers!
Yes been trying slowly to do private advertisements it's just hard to find potential advertisers at times. Yes would love assistance what can you offer? What is market samurai?
•When doing your keyword research, don’t focus your efforts on keywords with high total searches per month. The majority of keywords with large searches per month aren’t necessarily buyers. Longer-tail keywords, or more specific phrases, often get less searches, but have higher conversions because the consumer tends to be looking for exactly what they are going to buy. •To find new keyword ideas, visit: Google® Keyword Tool
