I was messing around on the free Wordtracker tool today and I found a 4 word phrase that has a competition of 30,000 and a search per day of 109. There are variations on this phrase with lower competition, but less searches too. Obviously this falls within the parameters of a good keyword phrase to go after, but when I Google it, the competition near the top seems very tough. If you were going to go after this keyword niche to generate some advertising revenue (ie. Adsense, yahoo ads), starting from absolute scratch, what would be your next move? Would you start a free blog page and get an article up that strong keyword content? Just looking for some view points, methods of work on what your next move might be. Thanks.
Hi Christian231, That is going to be one hard nut to crack. Way too many competitors for such small demand. I'm not sure how you are calculating 'competition', but if you look at my site in the sig file you can see how I go about keyword research. PM me if you want to talk advanced stuff.
WordTracker database is based on Dogpile, InfoSpace, MetaCrawler and WebCrawler. Not Google nor Yahoo.
Hi Christian, starting from scratch can give you at bit of an advantage in some cases, work out the SEO strategy based on the keywords, and include the elements within the website design itself. With the competition at 30,000 it should be quite easy.
Ok here's exactly what you have to do - and you won't even have to spend any money on PPC or anything else...it's all free! 1. build your page around that four-phrase-word (make the writing as long as you possibly can - the more the better - BUT don't keyword stuff - keep the keyword density around 5%...the whole idea is to have as many instances of your keyword or phrase - and thus you must make the article as long as possible while keeping the keyword density at around the 5% mark. 2. go to www.BlogSpot.com and register around 5 accounts. Each account will give you the option of creating more than one blog - that is fine - BUT you need 5 individual accounts...and you must create one blog on each account 3. Now just go to http://www.EzineArticles.com and pick any 5 articles - - - they don't need to be related to your keyword. 4. post one article to each blog and also include the link to your adsense page before you publish the blogs. 5. Now what you'll need to do is "ping" these blogs - this is basically notifying the Search Engine robots that your blog has been "updated" - in order to ping your blog, just go to www.pingomatic.com or www.pingoat.com and you'll know what to do...once your blogs have been "pinged", you can expect your "money-site" to be added to the Search Engine's index within one or two days 7. Next you can go around and leave a comment in other folks blogs while leaving your own blogs links in their comments area...say something like "nice info you got here, check out my blog"...what this does is give you more links back to your blogs (thereby increasing their value) 8. Keep updating your blogs daily by posting new articles to them and more links to more money sites...then repeat the process by pinging them 9. This is the slow way of doing it...if you don't mind thinking big and are capable of doing things on a large scale just contact me! Talk2Me@TheMarketingInsider.com ...the secret is in automating the entire process Remember that this approach involves getting to the top of the generic (regular) search results for your keyword. It has nothing to do with advertising or anything else. Also, in order to get to the top for any term, you must "optimize" your page for that keyword or phrase or term...this means that your title-tags, meta-tags, description, alt-tags and even anchor text must have some instances of your keyword.
Alsp, I forgot to mention that most likely the other 30,000 pages will not be "optimized" for that particular 4-word-phrase, so this gives you a leg-up on them. And the whole point of posting your money-site links in your blogs is because this gives your money-sites "one-way-links" - also called backlinks...since it is practically impossible for you to go out and solicit links for a 1-page website, you must build your own stash of "link-juice"...if you need help, i can direct you to a few products. just contact me!
Backlinks are more important than content. On-page optimization is still important but the content doesn't matter much. Also, when checking out competition you should search google for intitle:"keyword keyword keyword keyword".
So are you saying take someone else's article from www.EzineArticles.com and put them in a generic blog I create, put links to my keyword page within the context of that article I copied to my blog, then ping it? Should I really be stealing those articles from ezinearticles? Won't that be a problem? I'm not disagreeing with your tactics here...in fact I like it...I just want to make sure that I'm understanding what your suggesting. Thanks.
As long as you post who wrote the article its not stealing. The author is posted right on the articles.
I have a blog generator that searches the major article websites for whatever you want. I am not selling it or anything, but if you want a copy of it, just send me a pm. Good luck!
And when you're loading the links in this article that go directly to the page you created for your keyword campaign...what's the best tactic for placement etc. for the links. Does it matter, or do they just need to be there so you get the backlink listed in the SE's. Basically the point of this drill is to increase backlinks to the keyword optimized page correct?
You got it christian231 & slacker84 - the whole purpose of posting those links is to get the backlinks...you can post the links directly into a Blog message...just so that your Blog doesn't look like a spam Blog it's best to go to eZine articles and get an article from there - they provide you with the html, so you don't have to be worried about stealing anyone's stuff...then just post the article (don't forget to post your links)...then just ping all your blogs... You might want to be careful because you’re probably just starting out with this stuff - and you don't want your blogs to get deleted - but if you have the software and the resources and a little bit of time, you'll see that when you do this black-hat thing, ethics is the last thing on your mind...it’s the only way it can be since you'll be working on such a large scale and everything will be automated... ...you'll even have blogs being created while you sleep! Do you know that fortune500 companies do these very same things? They have what are known as Blog-farms - this gives them their own stash of "link-juice" - if you want to learn how to build Blog-farms, I can't go into it here...I’m trying my best to write this, it's almost 2:30am and I just got back from work! Anyways you MUST create your farms as soon as possible - they will allow you to get any (optimized) site to the top of Google in like 2 days ok now I build three one-thousand page sites a day (these are my money sites - each page is optimized for a particular "long-tail" keyword) - then if I want to use "blogger-blogs", I just create a hundred blogs (by using software) - then I set the blogs to retrieve articles and post (at particular intervals)...then I also set them to be pinged every 6 hours. Lots of these "spam blogs", you will not see on Blogger, because I have set them to be private... Eventually they get deleted, but I don't worry about that (I can always make more) So basically I also have a links-file - and my software automatically chooses random links (to my money sites) and articles (from a specified folder on my comp) to post! I build these sites using a "content-generator" All I do is feed in a huge list of "long-tail" keywords - if you want a 1000page site, you need to provide a list of 1000keywords -and I create these lists using keyword software... Ok, now go to Google and copy and paste the following thing in: link: TheMarketingInsider.com Just copy and paste it in and you'll see all backlinks to my site. As a matter of fact, I only posted a reply to you guys yesterday and you'll see it among the first results for link:TheMarketingInsider.com The whole point is to first of all optimize your site for a particular keyword or phrase and then point as many links to that particular money-page or money-site Another way to make Google like your sites is to interlink the pages well... Download my free book, there is a tiny section devoted to it in there (but I’ll be coming out with more black-hat stuff later... Copy and paste the link into your browser to download --- http://themarketinginsider.com/products/UROGIW/ ok to get more backlinks to your sites, you need to submit your sites to article directories, post in forums (like this), leave comments in blogs...and stuff like that... Ok I'm sleepy now - - - I'll try to answer any questions tomorrow
Sounds like you put in a TON of work on this stuff...even with the automation. Are you reaping the benefits yet, and what is your main source of income..Adsense? Affiliate stuff? Also...is there anything wrong with putting several links in each article...as in links to various optimized pages I've created?
i hope i understand you right. Its all about research. Use keyword-elite or Micro Niche Finder and then check number of searches and results. Many, Mayn make the mistake and "go" for mainstream keywords like "myspace" or "web hosting" and similiar.....it's really all about proper research. Then rather some less search-volume KW but with low or none competition.
the ezine articles ARE free..but dont expect wonders. Hire someone to rewrite articles...or just write your own. I dont know what other advise to give you. Also...if i post an article or a review, on ezine, squidoo, my own blog etc....i also rewrite my OWN aritcles since i do not want duplicate content anywhere...eg. my ezine article competing with my own blog Then..if you really "must" steal i would rather not look at ezine, but maybe use google blog-search...or get other sources....and you can always use www.copyscape.com to do a dupe-check ! Ezine. etc. is sure to have those articles on MANY places on the web...so it would not be too wise to grab an article right off there and take it unaltered !
