Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? I can find keywords all day long. I have a problem finding good ones.

When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Turns out they do and they don’t.

Any data you get isn’t accurate. At the time it was put together it will have been perfectly correct. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.

I decided to go for a keyword with about five thousand competing pages. I was pretty confident I could get a result from that. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.

It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 competing sites. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? A bit more investigating turned up my own articles on loads of these new competing sites.

My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. A lot of these sites were ranking with my article so I had a lot of competition but most of it was my own articles. A good result all round in my opinion.

I decided now to try a keyword research service as I couldn’t keep relying on luck. I was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.

There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. Bum marketing only costs my time so it’s my kind of marketing.

I figure if one good keyword comes each day that should save me an hour or two’s work. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. If I weigh the cost each day against my two hours work it clearly becomes value for money.

My email inbox is usually full of stuff going on about how outsourcing is the way forward. I reckon there’s not much difference here. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.

If you’re interested in how the trial of the Instacash service went then head on over to my web site. I also mentioned earlier how I got thousands of articles on web pages all over the net. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.

Many online businesses never think about doing keyword research, and this hurts their business long term.

You will always see advertisements stating how easy it is to make money online. However, they are actually very misleading. If you get high rankings for buyer keywords in the search engines, it will become easy to make money online. Majority of website owners fail when they create a business online. They usually fail because they choose keywords that they will never gain high rankings for. If you are choosing very competitive keywords that you want to rank well for from the start, then you are setting your business up to fail.

This is why keyword elite is such a great software. You will not have to worry about failing with your business because you will know the money making keywords. If you are serious about making money online, then you will have to take serious steps. Websites do not cost a lot of money to start, but this does not mean that you should take it less seriously. An online business deserves the dedication that an offline business would have.

When people realize that they have an opportunity to make money online, they start a website right away. Unfortunately, many of them will never understand how to properly optimize their website for search engines. To be successful on the internet, you need to have patience. Gaining top rankings for keywords can take a lot of time and effort. If you continuously build quality backlinks to your website, you will end up developing a very successful business.

Every webmaster has one thing in common, and it is that they want top listings in search engines. It’s not very easy to get sales from the search engines if you pick the wrong keywords. Doing keyword research is a very important part of starting an online business. If you do not do keyword research before starting an online business, you will fail.

 

There are many inexperienced website owners that claim that you should use keywords that are long tail. If you use long tail keywords from the start, you may be actually wasting time. Many keywords that are long tail never get searched at all. I have noticed that there many new website owners that optimize for search terms that never get searched.

 

You really need to look for keywords that get searched but aren’t being optimized very well. It not an issue if a keyword is long tail or not. The length of keywords has nothing to do with how hard it will be to rank well for them. There are actually many five word keywords that get more traffic than one word keywords, and those would be defined a long tail keywords.

 

I will let you know exactly what I do for keyword research. I look for keywords that I would want to rank well for. Then I plug them into Keyword Elite, and I find out how much traffic they are getting per month. I try to stay away from using the Google Keyword Tool because I don’t think it is very accurate with the search volume.

 

After that, I search the keywords that are getting a decent amount of visitors. I then use Yahoo Site explorer to analyze the number one ranked websites and their backlinks. After putting the website into Yahoo for analyzing, I check to see how many links the site has with the search keyword.

 

If I happen to notice that the website does not contain anchor text links, then I know that the website owner is very new to the online world. The realization is that the website owner does not know much about SEO, and I can get the number one spot with links and time.

 

Most people think it’s going to be much harder than it really is to rank well. You have to understand that most website owners don’t even know anything about search engine optimization. It is pretty easy to take the number one ranking and start earning money, if you find the right keywords.

If you are a new webmaster, you have to understand that keywords are crucial to your success online with a business. Many people start websites, and they don’t do keyword research. They end up choosing keywords that have too many competitors, and they never make it to the first page. There is an amazing software called keyword elite which will help you find the keywords that you should use.

 

When you first open keyword elite, you have to choose a keyword that you would want rankings for. Then, the software will generate thousands of different keywords that are similar to the one you chose originally. You will be able to analyze the new keywords and find out how much search volume they get. It is very important to get keywords that have a high search volume, but they shouldn’t be too competitive.

 

I have been using keyword elite to find my keywords for a long time now. I am lucky that I bought the software when I began my first website. If I avoided keyword elite, I would probably be poor and not making any money. Now that I have chosen the right keywords, I am seeing a lot of success online with my businesses.

 

You should realize that optimizing your site after keyword research is crucial in achieving high rankings. If you want high rankings in search engines, you have to focus on getting high quality backlinks. However, you should take into consideration that some keywords will be hard to rank for, and some will be easy. Since there are a ton of keywords out there, you have a great shot at finding some that will make you a lot of money.

 

Making money online is very easy, if you know what you are doing. There are some people that pass up keyword research, but you definitely should not. The keyword elite software will help you find the keywords that can make you money. You may not realize it now, but in the future you will realize how important it is to have traffic that converts into sales. If you get yourself to rank for buying keywords, then you will get a lot of sales.

Previously I have looked at the all the variables that go into deciding the best size for your business website.  Should it be a large, authority site or a highly targeted small website (a mini-site)?

Now I’ll look at how you begin after your decision that building a mini-site is best for you.  I especially want to concentrate on your preliminary work, before you start designing that first page.

Even before you buy your domain name, you need to completely research the the niche thatyou have chosen and its keywords and key phrases.  To be successful with a mini-site, you must focus on a few relatively low traffic keywords, especially long-tail key phrases.  Furthermore, you must make sure that those keywords are very closely related semantically.

Providing my definition of some of the most important terms in that last paragraph will help me clarify.  Niche research involves doing keyword research and competition research.  Keyword research is discovering what words and phrases your prospective customers are likely to use when they are searching for information, products or services similar to what your business offers.  Keywords are said to have long tails when the phrase entered into a search engine has multiple words.  For example, “television” might be a keyword for your niche.  “Panasonic high definition television” has a longer tail.  “Buy Panasonic high definition 46 inch television in Omaha” is a very long tailed keyword.  Notice that the last of those sample phrases also signals an interest in conducting a transaction; it has what is often referred to as “commercial intent.” 

Competition research can be broken into two parts.  On the one hand you will gather information about what your top competitors are doing by visiting those sites in the top twenty results of a seach for each of the words and phrases you have selected for your website.  You want to learn what keywords they are using, how many external links are directed toward that landing page and, while you’re there, a bit about their marketing strategy.  The other side of competition research is to determine how valuable your selected key phrases are by determining the level of competition for them.  A quick way to gather that information is to see how many sponsored ads appear on google for each of the keywords that you plan to use.  If lots of businesses are willing to spend money to attract traffic that has used those keywords, that is a strong indicator that it is a good keyword.  Don’t panic if you find a high number of ads; competition is good in this instance.  You probably wouldn’t make any money promoting a keyword that nobody else is interested in.

Finally, I mentioned that the long-tail key phrases that you select for your single mini-site should be closely related semantically.  Using our example, if we take the example of the last key phrase I made up, we could simply substitute other cities and those different key phrases would still be substantially the same.  On the other hand, we might also want to change the screen size option to other large televisions that Panasonic actually offers (perhaps, “36,” “42″ or “54″)  Or we might want to substitute other words that signal commercial intent, such as “purchase,” “deliver,” “delivery,” “best price for,” and others.

It is not possible to over emphasize the essential nature of this preliminary research.  Some businesses choose to not not buy the necessary software and hire professionals for the keyword research.  Some will also outsource the competition research.  That part is up to you, of course.  After all, it is your business, you know!
