Benefit – Helps you organize your business by targeting new phrases all of the time. Search engines will pick you up and rank your pages and give you tons of free traffic over time. Step by Step Instructions 1. Go here. We will use the free keyword research tool from Google 2. Go to the middle of the page and type in your primary keyword where it says: Enter One Keyword or Phrase Per Line: This would be your primary keyword for your site which is something like home business, work at home, earn money etc. In this example I will use the words work at home. 3. Type in the characters for your primary keyword in the box, choose “All Countries and Territories” and click on Get Keyword Ideas. Be patient as it can take a few seconds to give you the results. 4. You will get results of 50, 100, 200 words etc. For work at home it delivered 150 results. Select “Exact” from the “Match Type” drop down menu on the right hand side. To see how often a keyword is being searched every month on Google I look at the Approx. Avg. Search Volume which is based on 12 months of people searching for this phrase on Google for your country and language. 5. Scroll down and look for the words text, csv for excel, csv. Click on the text link. 6. Save this list as a word document, or in notepad etc. Call it "work at home keywords deleted". I call it that because as I use a phrase I delete it until all of the words have been used in an article, blog post, web page etc. 7. Look at the additional keyword phrases Google gives you. Save this list as well and use them as secondary keywords in the body of your articles, blog posts and web pages. This will help prevent you from spamming your primary keyword over and over in the body of what you write. 8. Start working thru your list. Use a different phrase in each article, in each blog post, and for building a web page. Try and only use the keyword phrases in the title, intro and closing of each article to avoid spamming it. Do not worry about keyword density as Google pays no attention to it anymore. Over time you will develop great unique content and keyword relevancy for your site and blog that the search engines will reward you for. More Information Type in a 4 word phrase. Build a list of phrases 4 words or more. These are known as long tail keyword phrases and usually have less competition than a short phrase like work at home. Does this work? I am on page one of Google for over 3000 unique keyword phrases now and have been found by people typing in phrases as long as 11 words. Google search "easy ways to make money at home and do it fast" without the quotation marks. I am #1. These longer phrases are low volume searches, but are very targeted and have less competition than shorter phrases. Traffic Tip #5 – Publish a Blog Post Author: Suzanne Morrison Summary: In this task you will make a post on your blog using a keyword that you have chosen from traffic tip #4, social bookmark your post and “tweet” it. Benefit – regular blogging helps to increase the number of visitors to your website. You are creating fresh unique content for your website and if you optimize your blog post you have a good chance of getting traffic from the search engines. Step by Step Instructions 1) Take a look at the keyword list that you created in task 4 and see if you can find a keyword phrase that has a few hundred searches per month. Typically a phrase like this will be less competitive and it will be easier to get your blog post ranked in the search engines if you choose a low competition phrase. 2) You can either write an article yourself and include your keywords in the title and 2-3 times throughout the article, or find a good PLR article. If you are using a PLR article it is beneficial to rewrite it by: a. Changing the title (be sure to include your keyword phrase in the title) b. Writing your own introductory paragraph c. Deleting one of the paragraphs d. Rewriting the final paragraph or add a new one e. Rewriting a few of the sentences throughout the article f. Adding your keyword phrase twice throughout the article 3) Once you have rewritten your article create a new post on your blog using this article and publish your post. 4) If you have a Wordpress blog, Wordpress will automatically ping all the relevant services. If you have a blogger blog, go to Autopinger and enter your blog URL to ping all the blog services. 5) Go to Twitter and write a sentence or two about your blog post and include the direct URL (permalink) of your post. You will find that often you get more interest in Twitter if you post a question related to the subject of your blog post e.g. “Does anyone think it is possible to succeed in online business when you have no money?” 6) Social Bookmark your post. If you have an account with OnlyWire or Social Marker you should also bookmark your post. If you don’t have an account, don’t worry – we will include this as a task in another weekly challenge. Doing this one time should bring you a small benefit, but if you can do this regularly – at least once per week, but if possible 3 times a week you will notice a difference in your tra
