You simply must<br \/>\nget this element right or your marketing will be in big trouble.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are keywords?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start at the very beginning, keywords are the exact words someone<br \/>\ntypes into a search engine to find what they&#8217;re looking for on the web.<br \/>\nSome keywords are valuable\/profitable, while others are virtually worthless.<\/p>\n<p>Profitable keywords are the ones that convert into a sale, a lead or<br \/>\npotential client\/customer for your company or product. These are the<br \/>\nwords someone is searching in order to buy a product or hire a service.<br \/>\nSomeone searching for &#8220;honeymoon vacation packages&#8221; is probably in the<br \/>\nmarket to book a honeymoon vacation and could turn out to be very profitable<br \/>\nfor the right website or business.<\/p>\n<p>Profitable keywords are the ones where the searcher is in the right<br \/>\n&#8220;mind-set&#8221; or frame of mind to buy what they&#8217;re searching for on the web.<br \/>\nTailor your online marketing to target these profitable keywords and<br \/>\nit can spell success.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s the whole process for finding or choosing profitable keywords<br \/>\nto use in your marketing? Let us look at some ways to proceed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Number of Keyword Searches Made?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You need to find out how many searches are made for your chosen keywords<br \/>\neach month. Simply use WordTracker or a site like SEOBook. These will<br \/>\ngive you a preliminary number of searches made each month for your keyword.<br \/>\nHighly popular, well-searched keywords with hundreds of thousands of searches<br \/>\neach month will be extremely hard to rank for because you will have stiff<br \/>\ncompetition from major companies with limitless resources.<\/p>\n<p>I like to pick less popular keywords that get only a couple of hundred<br \/>\nof searches each day because of my chances of getting on the first page<br \/>\ngreatly increases. But don&#8217;t get fixated on the number of searches,<br \/>\nsome keyword phrases that only get four or five searches daily,<br \/>\ncan still be very profitable.<\/p>\n<p>For serious keyword research in a particular niche market, I like to use<br \/>\nBrad Callen&#8217;s Keyword Elite is professionally designed software<br \/>\nthat makes all your keyword research so much easier. But there are plenty<br \/>\nof free keyword tools you can use. One handy keyword tool is Google Adwords<br \/>\nexternal suggestion tool which will help you find valuable keywords.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/adwords.google.com\/select\/KeywordToolExternal<\/p>\n<p><b>Commercial Intent of Keywords?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>But how do you know if a keyword is profitable? Well, one convenient<br \/>\ntool is from MSN which helps you with &#8220;Detecting Online Commercial Intention&#8221;<br \/>\nof keywords. Just type in a keyword and it will give you a percentage<br \/>\nor probability your keyword query has commercial benefit or intent.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/adlab.msn.com\/Online-Commercial-Intention\/Default.aspx<\/p>\n<p><b>Conversion Rate of Keywords?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Once you have your chosen keywords in place, next you want to have<br \/>\na landing page that converts those keywords or traffic from those<br \/>\nkeywords into buyers or leads for your online business. This is<br \/>\nanother crucial element of your online marketing &#8211; you must have<br \/>\na landing page or content\/site that converts into a sale or you<br \/>\nobviously won&#8217;t make any revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, if you&#8217;re into affiliate marketing, you main goal<br \/>\nis not to sell but to &#8220;pre-sell&#8221; your products or services.<br \/>\nOne effective way I have found to do this is to give potential<br \/>\ncustomers\/clients valuable information they can use in making<br \/>\ntheir final purchasing choice. Comparison sites do well, as<br \/>\ndo review sites, top ten sites&#8230; potential customers use the<br \/>\nInternet and keywords to not only find products but more so, to<br \/>\nfind information on those products. Your goal should be to provide<br \/>\nthis valuable information to make their task a little bit easier<br \/>\nfor them and they will reward you with a sale.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are Long-Tail Keywords?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Long-Tail keywords are simply that: long three or four-word phrases<br \/>\nthat searchers use to find what they&#8217;re looking for on the web.<br \/>\nBecause they are highly specific, long-tail keywords have proven<br \/>\nto have better conversion rates than general keywords. This is<br \/>\nalso just common sense, someone searching for a &#8220;2005 ford mustang<br \/>\nconvertible&#8221; may just be in the right mind-set to buy such a vehicle;<br \/>\nas compared to someone searching for a more general keyword phrase<br \/>\nsuch as &#8220;sports cars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Study your website traffic logs religiously to find long-tail<br \/>\nkeywords that turn into a sale. Target these long-tail keywords<br \/>\nin your marketing. Even buy PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising in<br \/>\nthe three major search engines &#8211; Google Adwords, Yahoo! Marketing<br \/>\nand Microsoft AdCenter &#8211; for these valuable\/profitable keywords.<\/p>\n<p>And build higher rankings in organic search for these long-tail<br \/>\nkeyword phrases. It&#8217;s really not that difficult for long phrases,<br \/>\nespecially if they&#8217;re related to your site; many times you can<br \/>\nreach the top spot in a matter of days, especially in Google.<\/p>\n<p><b>How to rank high for your chosen profitable keywords?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the million-dollar question is: HOW do you rank in the top<br \/>\nspot for your chosen keywords? I believe the key to ranking high in the<br \/>\nsearch engines (especially Google) is to be persistent in building<br \/>\nyour rankings for your keywords. Take a long-term view or approach,<br \/>\nsometimes it may take months, even years, to rank in the top Five<br \/>\nfor your highly competitive keywords.<\/p>\n<p>The best strategy is to &#8220;stick to it&#8221; and keep building relevant<br \/>\nlinks to your keyword landing page. Create related blogs with valuable<br \/>\ncontent linking back to your keywords. Write keyword related articles<br \/>\nand distribute them all over the web. Create Google Alerts for your<br \/>\nkeywords and them place comments\/links in the newly formed pages on<br \/>\nthe web that Google is indexing.<\/p>\n<p>Be pro-active, download the SEOQuake toolbar and find your main keyword<br \/>\ncompetitors. Check out their links and then go out and get the same<br \/>\nlinks. Write better higher quality content than your main competitors<br \/>\nbecause Google always rewards great content. Plus, use the free Addthis.com<br \/>\nbutton and let your visitors bookmark your great content in all<br \/>\nthe social bookmark sites and build your keyword links for you.<\/p>\n<p>Do keyworded Press Releases with your embedded links and spread them<br \/>\nall over the web. Get these Press Releases into Google news and other<br \/>\nimportant places on the web. PRWeb.com is really a great place for your<br \/>\npress releases since you can embed your keywords in your links.<\/p>\n<p>If you can try to get your most important keywords in your domain<br \/>\nname. Many SEO experts argue the merits of this but from my own<br \/>\nexperience and marketing &#8211; it is much easier to rank high for your<br \/>\nkeywords if you have them in the domain name. Again, it is just common sense,<br \/>\nif you have your main keyword in the domain, this keyword is obviously<br \/>\ntelling the search engines this is what your site is all about. I have even<br \/>\nbought domains and created sites specifically around certain keywords<br \/>\njust to rank high.<\/p>\n<p>Always remember, you have to be persistent, I have been fighting some<br \/>\nkeyword battles for over four or five years! For really profitable keywords,<br \/>\nit can be a constant struggle to remain on the first page, but the trick is<br \/>\nnot to give up, just keep fighting away at your competitors. Persistence<br \/>\nusually pays off in the end and those profitable keywords will have your links<br \/>\nin the top spot. Make ranking high for those profitable keywords your number<br \/>\none marketing strategy. Concentrate all your marketing efforts towards getting<br \/>\nplenty of quality traffic for those keywords and you will succeed online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<br \/>\nThe author is a full-time online marketer who has numerous<br \/>\nniche sites.
