C. Main Article: How To Suck Traffic Out Of
Keywords In 10 Fairly Easy Steps and 20 Minutes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I've been deep in my knees in research for quite some time now
for my new Dashboard that'll be coming out on getting website
traffic.
It has been more research than I WANTED to do in that I've
had to research entire bodies of knowledge to get down to
the nitty gritty.
But I'm excited about many of my findings in organic seo,
Google Adwords and even affiliate marketing. I'm boiling
down entire areas of knowledge into simple steps. It has been
quite a vast amount of research.
Anyone can spit out a complicated process. It takes a lot of
research to really get down to the heart of the matter and
eliminate all the fluff, noise and wasted effort.
So when I do a Dashboard, it LOOKS simple. But typically, a
lot of thought, effort and research went into it to get it
down to a small number of steps.
Now, onto today's topic...
Here's the PROBLEM with keyword research:
The goal is to suck traffic out of the keywords from Google,
Bing, Yahoo and other search engines.
The problem is that there are many tools for keyword research
and many theories. And often they contradict each other.
1. The tools often give vastly different results
Just as an example, Market Samurai or Wordtracker give me
the same competition results. But MicroNiche Finder gives
other results.
2. Google has different data centers
Google has a number of different data centers that apparently
give varying results. This doesn't make things easy.
3. There are many different parameters you can use.
For example, to measure the competition for a keyword, you
can use the "quoted search" in Google. Or an inanchor search.
Or allinanchor. Or you can look at the pagerank of the
listings. Or you can peruse a lot of variables using
SEO Quake or Seo Tools For Firefox.
Here's our METHOD for this ezines issue:
There is no right or wrong way to do it. I see people
succeed with many methods. What you need is ONE method that
works for you.
So let's look at a workable method.
Step one: Search your topic using the Google External
Keywords Tool
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
One of my favorite anti virus software programs is Panda
Security.
So I checked "website content" and entered the web page
url.
This SAME option is available in the NEW google external
keyword tools BETA. The only difference is you just
enter the URL where it says "website".
Now, Google then spiders the website and gives you a list
of keywords.
Here's a PICTURE of what this looks like:
http://www.marlonsvideos.com/marketingminute/images/googlesearch.gif
Step two: Click "add" on all keywords with under 10,000
searches but OVER 1,000.
I went through the list and clicked the little
"add" button on the right for EVERY keyword that had 10,000
or less earch results.
I figure those keywords won't be too competitive. Given time,
I'd do research on the keywords with more searches if I found
out that the keywords under 10,000 searches weren't competitive.
Step three: Click the txt link at the very bottom in order
to export the keywords to a text file.
http://www.marlonsvideos.com/marketingminute/images/exporttext.gif
Here are the keywords I exported:
anti virus mcfee
antivirus cheap
antivirus problems
block malware
download panda antivirus 2008
download panda antivirus 2009
downloadable antivirus software

free anti malware software
free panda antivirus software

Step Four: Import the keywords into MicroNiche Finder
If you've never seen my video on MicroNiche Finder, here
it is:
http://www.marlonsvideos.com/microniche/
The reason I did the keyword search in Google instead of
directly in MicroNiche Finder is Google spidered the website
and brought me back keywords it feels are relevant.
a. Go to options on the menu
b. Click Import Keywords
c. You can paste in under 50 words in the quick add or
import a text file. I just used the quick add.
Step Five: Click "check all"
I want to search all results
Step Six: Click "Check results"
MicroNiche Finder then checks all the results and gives
me back green, yellow and red dots.
Here's a picture:
http://www.marlonsvideos.com/marketingminute/images/microniche.gif
Step Seven: Take your green keywords with the most searches and
look 'em up in Google using Seo Quake. This will give me a super
fast breakdown on the quality.
a. Number and quality of links
You look to see the NUMBER of links to that specific web page.
You can also check the quality of those links.
b. Root domains vs. pages on a domain
If you're competing against web sites that are all root dot com
domains vs. long url's where the keyword is only targeted on a
page, this makes a big difference.
c. Look for forum posts that rank, ezine articles or other articles,
youtube videos, and web 2.0 sites like Squidoo or Hug Pages.
Those can usually be outranked, although you need to check the
number of backlinks to the page.
Step Eight: See if the domain is available on one of your green
keywords.
With one click in MicroNiche Finder you can see if the domain is
available. That's cool!
By registering the domain with the keywords, some seo experts feel
you increase your Google ranking. I've personally had good luck
with this although some experts say the only reason it matters
is that people who LINK to your site tend to link to whatever words
are in the domain name.
So if your keywords are IN the domain name, this tends to get you
inbound links using your keywords.
Step Nine: Register the domain and build out a blog with one or
more of the keywords in it.
You can target only the main keyword you chose or you can write
articles on a bunch of the keywords.
You write articles and content for the blog that target the keyword
or keywords. Or you hire this out.
If you go to: http://www.designdashboard.com/blog you can see
a blog I'm building out for my Design Dashboard and the keywords
it's targeting.
Step Ten: Get backlinks
Backlinks simply mean links to your web site using the keyword
or keyword phrases you've chosen.
a. Write articles
This is linking 101. You write one or more articles and
hyperlink your keyword phrase in the bio or resource box at the
end of the article to your web site.
b. Press releases
You write the press release and submit it. Some services even
let you put a few hyperlinked keywords in the article itself.
c. Web 2.0 sites
You can build a Squidoo lens, hub page, word press blog, blogger
blog or one of a zillion other web 2.0 sites.
Here's a GREAT guide from Potpie girl on how to set up your
Squidoo lens:
http://www.oneweekmarketing.com/squidoo-guide.html
That is ALSO a terrific example of doing a nice email capture page
that can get a viral pass along kick, just as I'm passing along the
url to you.
d. RSS reeds
This is an advanced method but software will do it for you.
e. Blog comments
Comment on "do follow" blogs relevant to your keyword. "Do follow"
means that Google's robots aren't excluded from spidering the link.
For $20 you can get 60 30-word intelligent blog comments according
to this wso:
http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/202807-
20-60-intelligent-30-word-blog-comments-60-relevant-dofollow-pr5-
above-high-traffic-blogs.html
f. Profile links
All those crazy guys and gals over at Warriors love these.
You can hire these out inexpensively.
===========================
What Have You Accomplished?
===========================
So you see how EASY it would be to sign up for an affiliate program
for Panda, throw up an ad on the blog and send those clicks to a
squeeze page?
You could then follow up with affiliate links for Panda and OTHER
anti virus software and related computer efficiency products.
What we've done is found WHITE SPACE without a lot of competition.
And we've done it in about 20 minutes. Now granted, to build out
the blog with articles takes longer.
However, you can hire someone to write the articles for $2 to $7
each. 10 articles targeting 10 keywords would cost you say $20
to $70.
You can easily build the blog yourself in an hour. Or hire someone
to do it for you for $115-$25.00. Or have the worker you hired
using outsourceplan.com (affiliate link) do it overnight.
In summary:
1. You've avoided competition
2. You've found a quick hit you can get fast rankings and results
with
3. You can build a list and sell other related products
4. You could build a whole entire antivirus site if you wanted
using this same method. You could have categories for different
anti virus software programs.

some additional info, here's an inexpensive WSO I liked:

you-make.html
=====================================
How Long Will It Take To See Results?
=====================================
To build your backlinks and get Google to let you drift to page
one, you're looking at 30 days. Some people have methods to do
it faster.
But let's say 30 days. But you maybe spend only 2 or 3 days
of real work on it.
With the small site, you might make $50 or $100 a month. If you
added more keywords and built it out some, it could go much
higher.
The cool thing is that money can keep coming in every month
with a small amount of maintenance each month.
Two or three sites like this could make your car payment or
be your fun money.
