I have 2 new sites. The sites and subject matter are BOTH new to me. (at least as far as marketing is concerned) Site #1 is a DIY home projects site. Site #2 is a health food site Ok, so what I am looking for, is advice on keyword selection, and overall marketing approaches. These sites are both going to be sidelined by Google for some time. Here is what I have so far: - Stumbleupon and del.icio.us (wonderful tools) - signature links - AdWords (maybe) - link coop of some sort (somebody please tell me if this works for this theme) - forums Now to specifics. I need some keyword help, because I only think like me. I would like keyword suggestions based on the following criteria: #1 DIY home projects for anything relating to in the home, around the home, garden, or any low budget project or home rennovation tips. #2 Health food site devoted to lamenting the ills of hydrogenated foods, high fructose corn sweeteners, Enriched flour products. What would any of you be searching for, if you were looking for either topic? I also welcome any other suggestions. Thank you so much in advance. I appreciate the help.
There are plenty of keyword suggestion tools around the web that will help you work out what people are searching for. Do a quick search of this forum and you'll find lots. I think your sources of traffic will depend a lot on how you're monetizing the sites - I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say AdSense, right?
I didn't post these questions here for lack of knowledge of the "tools" that are available. But ultimately, a tool is just that, and it's no replacement for human input. I am seeking insight into the human brain on search terms and marketing methods. ("what would YOU do" scenarios) Thanks, anyway. I'm sure you meant well.
