How to determine the best search engine keywords for your site!

    I have a site that I have been sitting on, I just like it's steady flow of income, which is the only reason I've kept it. (www.talkmsg.com) I make about $0.03 a day if not LESS on adsense! :p I know, it's pathetic. So enough jokes aside. I was rummaging through my logs, with AwStats, and I noticed that my traffic has been increasing from 0-5 uniques a day, to about 15-20, again, don't bother telling me, I know it's pathetic... I haven't done any marketing at all.

    I noticed that my site, some how, made it to the second result on Google, for a certain phrase; :cool: and the sites name wasn't included in it. Here it is: "celluar south text message".

    So my question to you all, is how do I get this to happen with more keywords, and how do I figure out what those keywords are?

    Again, I'm sorry for the horribly low stats, but I don't pay any attention to that site.

    EDIT: Shoot, I'm extremely sorry. I just realized this should have been in the SEO forum. :(

    For a site such as this, the best thing to do is to build back links with good anchor text. This can sometimes be hard to do, but it pays off!

    anchor text is the text appears inside the <a > anchor text here </ a> tag. It is how google find your site from other site.

    Oh, that makes sense. I don't know why I didn't realize that...

    What's the quickest way to build back-links?

    Try Blending in with your forms, put google ad inbetween them. ANd I am only seeing image ads, you don't like contextual ads? ( From my experience, text ads pay alot more, of course it all depends on the advertise, but still it has a better paying rate than images )

    Anchor text text is basically the text used for the link itself e.g. if you have a link on another website, the text that people click on is the anchor. Any other information below it is description.
