Make Quick Money Online – Keyword Targeting
Many people are looking for the fastest and cheapest way to make money at home online, and the most efficient way to achieve SEO optimization. The best way – known as “Keyword Targeting” and sometimes referred to as “Keyword Sniping”, is misunderstood.
Keyword targeting involves using keyword phrases of three or more words – called “long tail keywords” – to target the subject matter of the product being sold.
Yet many people also misunderstand how the term “long tail keywords” got its name. The name didn’t come from the fact that the phrases are long. It comes from a graph of search volume against phrase popularity.
Imagine a graph where low-to-high search volume is on the vertical scale and high-to-low phrase popularity is on the horizontal scale. On such a graph you’ll see that the most basic and popular one or two word keyword phrases have high popularity and high search volume (and TREMENDOUS competition). But the longer and more specific keyword phrases tend to have much lower popularity and much lower search volume (and much less competition).
Let’s take an example. The term “weight loss” is basic, extremely popular and nearly impossible to rank for on Google. That’s because it has 347 million competitors. As you lengthen the phrase – for example: “weight loss after pregnancy”, you find that as of this date there are only 43,600 competitors. If you go even further: “weight loss programs after pregnancy”, you find only 8 competitors.
A graph of this trend would show the basic and popular one or two word keyword phrases at the very top. There would then be a line forming a steep, sort of “suicide ski jump” curve as the keyword phrases become longer and more specific.
It’s the position of these narrow, specific phrases on the “long tail” of our imaginary graph that gives them their name. They are essential to making money quick on the Internet, because they are very numerous, and they each have very small competition.
In fact, it’s because of this low competition that you stand a pretty good chance of ranking on the first page of Google with some of these phrases. Of Course, it’s also true that you have small search volume for each phrase. But if you include enough of them in your article marketing campaign, you can achieve pretty high monthly traffic overall.
So far, this has all been theoretical. The question is – does any of it really work? You will find that intuition and instinct, as well as experience will all be factors. But this is where most people misunderstand how to target.
You must understand that unless your phrase appears on the first page of Google – preferably above the fold – you will get ZERO traffic. In this regard, just calculating search volume versus competition isn’t enough. You also have to study the top ten competitors for each of your long tail phrases. For example, if each of the top ten has a Google PR of 4 or better and many high quality backlinks, you will find it very hard to get on that first page.
An experienced “keyword sniper” will be able to pick the phrases that have the correct balance of search volume versus competition versus “top ten” competition.
How do you do that? In a future article I will address some of the tools and parameters that successful keyword snipers use.
