Are you earning any Affiliate Marketing Cash yet from your article marketing? You need good Long Tail Keywords to become an authority in your niche, rank high in the search engines, and create content that sends you traffic that just won't quit. Here's how to do effective keyword research and unearth those magic keywords.
Have you followed along while a guru demonstrated how to find good keywords, only to get bogged down in wrong numbers, struggles and confusion every time you tried it yourself? Or was that just me?
Without the crucial "money" keywords, my article marketing had no payoff besides the good practice and a higher status at EzineArticles.com. I recently read a little report that changed everything.
Three simple steps for finding the "money" keywords for article Marketing Cash.
First, open Google Keyword Tool External or Wordtracker and type in your niche.
Perhaps you're interested in Golf. Golf is HUGE. No way can you rank with the word golf alone as a keyword. Scan down the list of results for a more specific phrase for what you sell. How about golf lessons.
You want a three or four word phrase with 300 to 500 searches per month. I see a lot of possibilities, like golfing lessons, pga golf lesson, private golf lesson, golf lesson chipping, golf lesson DVD, and more. Grab all the keyword phrases with between 300 and 500 searches.
Second, check each one for competition with a Google search using allintitle: with your keyword phrase.
Like this--allintitle:private golf lesson. Look for numbers between 500 and 1000 because this is where it's easy to rank for your keyword. Any lower numbers are better yet.
My search today for allintitle:golfing lessons shows 7,340 pages with that keyword phrase. It seems like too many competing pages, but let's see if that number is true using a trick I learned from Travis Sago, chief bum marketer.
Third, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the last page in the list from 1-10 or 1-20.
In this case there were 7 pages. When I clicked on 7, I landed on a page that said 301-398 of 7,340 pages. You can't get past this page, which means only 398 pages show in Google for the phrase golfing lessons.
It's less than the 500-1000 target, so this is a great Long Tail keyword phrase even though it's only two words. I see other people have articles for this phrase.
Let's try allintitle:golf lesson chipping and see what happens. Ah-ha! Today's search finds 331 competing pages, and when we verify that, we find 341. I see many videos and no articles. Chipping must be hard to convey in written words?
Finish checking the other keyword phrases from your list, aim for at least 30 good long tail keywords and see what it takes to rank for each one besides good numbers. Do your competitors create articles, videos, or what?
Now that you're armed with great long tail keywords and know what the competitors offer, your high-quality articles and/or videos will earn you affiliate marketing cash you can bank.
Is your mind whirling with how to make your articles and links earn affiliate marketing cash? See a video (you might laugh at the mistakes) on finding a hot niche today. Hope this helps!
