Quick & Easy Keyword Research

To get traffic in the beginning, keyword search is critical. 

If you simply create content for your website without optimizing your articles for important and relevant keywords, you’ll struggle to generate targeted traffic. Keywords power your traffic campaigns and ultimately work towards gaining a secure position within the major search engines. When you are able to rank for relevant keywords, you’ll be able to generate organic, natural (and highly targeted) traffic from search engines like Google and Yahoo – absolutely FREE! Organic traffic is the “cream of the crop” as far as traffic goes, because these visitors are exceptionally targeted.

When evaluating potential keywords, I highly recommend using the Google Keyword Tool available at:  https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal  

This tool will help you quickly find high-traffic keywords in your niche, as well as to help you effectively evaluate the level of competition targeting different keywords, so that you can find less competitive, alternative phrases.

You should look for keywords that have at least 1,000 monthly searches, and no more than 150,000 results in Google.

Just enter the keyword string, wrapped “in quotes” into Google and you’ll find out how many other websites are using that specific keyword based on the search results.

Every time you create a post, it should be based on one of the keywords you found. Use the keyword in the title of the post, at least twice in the content itself, and in the tags.

Don’t forget to include synonyms as well. Recent updates at Google have indicated that synonyms are important to overall ranking, so it’s very important that you write as naturally as possible and include various synonyms in your writing. Why? Because synonyms help Google determine your overall site theme, based on related keywords found throughout the pages and content on your website.

For example, if you are writing an article about “golf clubs”, you might also want to include words like “iron”, “wood”, “putter”, and some of the popular brand names for golf clubs. This will help you rank much better than simply repeating your main keyword over and over.

- 11 - You will also want to make sure to use these keywords as anchor text whenever you create backlinks to your articles or content pages.

Google places a heavy weight on the anchor text used to link to a page as indication of its overall relevancy, so you will want to make sure at least half of your backlinks include your main keyword with additional backlinks focusing on alternative keywords, so that you’re able to rank for many different terms!

Choosing Your Blogs Topic

In order to develop a successful blog, you need to focus on a specific topic.

Every profitable blog needs to be targeted and carry a theme, so that the content is able to cater to a specific segment of your market, without leaving visitors confused or overwhelmed. 

Perez Hilton created a successful blog by writing about celebrity gossip. Bloggers like John Chow and ShoeMoney made their fortunes by writing about Internet Marketing and online business, while Darren Rouse from ProBlogger, teaches people how to build and monetize online blogs. Each blog has a specific theme, a niche and a focus so that its able to cater specifically to a segment of their market. This is very important! Do not try to create an all-encompassing blog, otherwise you’ll lose focus and find it difficult to retain your visitors or to build your own distinct brand. 

When just starting out, concentrate on small niche blogs in order to build income and establish your foothold in your niche market (plus, it will give you valuable experience that you can use to later expand into other markets). 

Once you have successfully developed a blog focusing on a smaller niche market, venture into new, mainstream markets!

Choosing The Right Theme

There are thousands of themes available for WordPress, and it can be very difficult to choose the right one if you’re not quite sure what to look for.

Choosing a theme should be based on profitability and flexibility.

You need a clean, simple theme that emphasizes your ads, while showcasing your content so that visitors are comfortable navigating through the different areas of your website without getting lost, or finding it difficult to locate the content that is most important to them.

Many free themes focus primarily on the cosmetic value, rather than giving you the flexibility that you need to effectively monetize your blog. But there’s now a solution to our theme-hunting difficulties!

One theme that many of the leading professional bloggers are using is called Socrates.

This theme was developed in partnership with Adsense mastermind, Joel Comm and it was designed to increase CTR on your ads, while automating your ability to monetize your blogs from start to finish.

If you are interested in making money with AdSense, this is a fantastic theme to use. Plus, you can easily integrate additional monetization strategies, including affiliate products through Amazon and ClickBank’s marketplace. 

All you have to do is enter your AdSense publisher ID and your ClickBank ID and ads will instantly be placed into the theme in the most critical areas for high CTR.

Whichever theme you choose, make sure you choose one that is based on monetization rather than appearance.

You can spruce up any theme imaginable, but if it’s foundation is difficult to work with, or your visitors feel awkward navigating through your different sections, you’ll find it harder to switch over later, so be careful choosing a fully optimized theme that provides you with the flexibility you need to customize it so that it works for your niche market.

So how can you make money with your own quality blog?

For starters, high profit bloggers know the value of high quality, relevant content. They also know how to call on the ‘entertainment factor’ to further their brand and ensure that their blog visitors continue to drop by on a regular basis. If you do this, you’ll never struggle to build a community of loyal followers, and through your blogs ever-growing community, you’ll be able to maximize your traffic (and income) just from visitors who tell others about your website. When you give people an opportunity to share their thoughts, provide feedback and connect with each other on a personal level, you’ll find it much easier to build a high-active, profitable community with less time and less effort than anything you’ve ever tried before! In fact, one of the most attractive elements of a blog is in just how much your visitors can power up your website!

From leaving comments, to pinging, re-publishing your articles, to linking directly to your site, you’ll be able to build brand awareness, develop an active community and generate unstoppable targeted traffic in no time at all, just by letting your visitors power up your website for you!
