5 Easy And Powerful Keyword Research Tips For Getting Traffic
Step 1 - Brainstorm You should make a list of all the obvious keywords that come to mind. Don't limit yourself and get all the related terms in on big list. For example, if I was doing a weight loss site, I would start with the obvious ones like;
weight loss diet-losing fat-exercise-healthy eating
Step 2 - Check the competition. With the list I just made, I would try each of them in search engines and notice the top ten sites that come up in the results. I would then check the keyword meta tag in the HTML source code. I would note every keyword and write them on my list. This is an important keyword research tip. Your are taking notice of your competition in order to beat them right?
Step 3 - Keyword list drill down. You now have a list to work with. It is now time to expand your search. Check out http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ and use this tool to see how many searches every day there are for your keywords and note every related keywords that get at least 10 searches a day. You can also use Google keyword research tool. List every misspelled keywords also. Some people use "web site" while others type "website". Remember that hyphens are treated as space by search engines.
Step 4 - Sizing up the competition. You should have hundreds if not thousands of keywords on your list by now. Make sure you clean up your list for non-related terms. For example, If my weight loss site doesn't have anything to do with Atkins diet, ditch any keywords that include "Atkins". Use Google to see how many competing sites you have for your keywords. Just use quotes around your keywords to see how many phrase match you get. Notice how many competing results you get.
Step 5 - Prioritizing Your should now concentrate on using the keywords with less than 15000 competing results. Use those in your articles, content web pages, etc.
Using software for keyword research will save you a lot of time. some have an added feature that list the number of pay-per-click campaigns for those keywords. This is very useful when you want to see how much it will cost you for competing in this area.
Use every keyword that will bring you the most targeted visitors. You will find it is much easier to get on the first page of search engines with keyword phrases that have at least 3 or 4 terms.
After all this work, your keyword research tips will put you ahead in the search engines ranking.

Here is my thinking – it was a really good question, and I thought that my network of readers on ezinearticles.com would appreciate reading on this topic.
So here is the question: How do I keyword optimize my articles?
So here is my answer: How to keyword optimize your articles:
1) Use the keyword or keyword phrase for which you are optimizing the article as the very first word or phrase in the title.
2) Use the keyword or keyword phrase for which you are optimizing the article as the very first word or phrase in the article, and in the summary (if your article directory permits a summary, as does ezinearticles.com).
3) Use the keyword or keyword phrase for which you are optimizing the article at least twice in the first paragraph of the article, and once in each of the other paragraphs of the article, and once as close to the end of the article as possible. 4) When you submit your article, use the keyword or keyword phrase for which you are optimizing your article, as the first keyword or keyword phrase in the keywords box.
That’s about it – now go out and write a keyword – optimized article!

AdWords Ads Now Free?
A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an "oversight" on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.
And no, nothing about his "secret" is illegal - nor does it require that you know someone on the "inside" at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.
Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it."
This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children's toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses - all the while applying his mastermind secret.
Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses "I've actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for ... and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines ... all of which I got for free ..."
So powerful is his secret that he's able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.
He still has to set up an account with the search engines - but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.
Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.
One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret "Wow! Ha! This is really unique ... and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!"
The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years' period of time since applying his secret he's done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really "buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential."
Now to everyone else's fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he's not promising any of us for how long.
A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says "We'll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things."
One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret "he's already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it's still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this."
It is currently available at:
http://tinyurl.com/2znjgs
...so you may want to head on over there now and get it.
It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.
While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in targeted advertising now made freely available to the rest of us?

The Magic and Mystique of SEO Keywords
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet complains about the problems of their family names by saying “…that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” It may have been true for the Montague’s and Capulet’s but it’s not true when it comes to search engine keywords: a rose by some other name will put you on page 11,293 instead of upfront on a search engine query for “rose!”
Keywords are magic. The correct choice of keywords will be you on page 1 and the wrong choice will cause you to disappear from the internet. The “mystique” however, is how to get the right SEO keywords for what you want to do. Here are a few considerations to de-mystify SEO keyword selection:
Keyword Competition. If you pick the same keyword as 10,000 other people, you are competing with 10,000 other people for page one of a search engine’s results for that keyword. Ideally, you want words with little competition. If you’re a very local bakery in Boston, a keyword of “bakery” puts you in competition with every baker in the internet world! Better to examine an SEO keyword like “Boston Bakery”.
Keyword Relevance. The problem with avoiding keyword competition is keyword relevance. You want relevance. Using a keyword like “multimedia direct mail services” probably has little competition but, if you’re hoping to attract interest in any direct mail services, it also has less relevance. Less people are likely to use that term.
Keyword Validation. Search Engines aren’t stupid. If you use a keyword like “Microsoft” or “IBM” they’re smart enough to figure out whether it’s truly relevant. Don’t try to play them.
Keyword Peculiarities. Remember, there are some nuances. Search for “IT Service” and “IT Services” yields two different sets of results. Cover all the appropriate bases.
To some extent SEO keyword selection is just common sense. Be specific and get specific results. Be general and get general results and a lot of competition.

Keyword Tool Comparison - Keyword Elite vs. Keyword Discovery vs. Wordtracker
With the marketplace being filled with so many different keyword research tools, it can be very difficult to tell which one will best suit your needs. It is essential to find a tool that has the features you need at a price that is acceptable to you. You don’t want to randomly choose software, only to find out it is lacking a key component you need for your online business. Different tools cater to different needs.
This article is going to compare the three best keyword tools I have found in my years as a full time Internet marketer. They are, Wordtracker, Keyword Elite, and Keyword Discovery. I have had tremendous success with all three of these programs. You really can’t go wrong with any of them. However, your decision comes down to what kind of marketing you are into. Do you use pay per click extensively, do you wish to become a SEO (search engine optimization) guru, or are you simply trying to build keyword lists and evaluate potential markets? Your answer to these questions will greatly influence which program is best suited to you. Let’s look at a quick overview of each program so that we know what we are dealing with.
Wordtracker- This is a subscription based service that allows you to buy a day, week, month, or year of service. Like most things the cost per day gets lower and lower all the way up to one year. A one year subscription to Wordtracker costs $270 or $22.50 per month. While this may sound expensive it is a fair price. I have found that Wordtracker provides very accurate information. The software itself takes a little getting used to as it has a lot features. I read a tutorial on the best way to use it and it helped a lot.
Keyword Discovery- This is also a subscription based service. It is more expensive than Wordtracker at a starting price of $49.95 per month. If you are serious about SEO I don’t think you can beat this tool. It pulls data from over 180 different sources, provides yearly search trends and too much other data to ever be able to cover in this short comparison article. This tool is well suited to those looking for the ultimate in keyword research. You wont find more comprehensive data anywhere. This product is head and shoulders above Wordtracker in my opinion. Of course the price is considerably higher as well.
Keyword Elite- Unlike the other two programs Keyword Elite is a one time payment of $176.00. This makes this product very enticing to many people. Instead of continuing to accrue charges you only pay once and get access to all updates for free. This is a very good deal. I have always been very happy with the performance of keyword elite. Whether I am analyzing pay per click, doing some SEO or evaluating potential markets I always get the answers I need. This software is also very easy to use.
So what is the verdict? Here is my recommendation to you coming from years of experience with almost every keyword tool out there. If you need the most comprehensive software possible go with Keyword Discovery. If you are after a solid tool for analyzing new markets, creating keyword lists and intermediate SEO, definitely go with Keyword Elite. I like the fact that it is a one time fee. I put Wordtracker at number 3. It is similar to Keyword Elite but is harder to get used to and is an ongoing expense. Look at your needs and then choose a program that will give you what you need.

How to Find Keyword Using Free keyword Software II
That is easy. Type each keyword into Google and check the number of results found by Google on the blue line near the top. For the keyword “internet marketing” that is 406 million. That means there are 268 million web pages containing the words “internet marketing” in Google’s index. What you are looking for is a keyword with good demand and low supply. A high supply does not necessarily mean that you cannot compete; it just makes it a bit more difficult to get a decent listing on search engines.
You can also ask Google to leave out certain words in its search, for example if you don’t want sites with the word ‘free’ to be listed then add ‘-free’ after your keyword in your browser and Google will give the number of results for ‘internet marketing’ but without the word ‘free’. That comes to 186 million. You can use that trick to filter your results.
You now have the information at least to find an available domain name for your website that reflects its content, and some good ideas for individual page names. You should optimize each page for a single keyword, rather than attempt to pack them all into your home page.
An intelligent use of keywords can attract traffic, and get you decent listings on search engines. If you learn how to find keywords using free keyword software, then you can find the best for your site without spending any money. Once your business is making money, then you can think of purchasing the paid versions that can carry out a deeper analysis. That, however, should be when your website is self financing.
How to Find Keyword Using Free keyword Software
If you have a website and are involved in internet marketing, you need keywords for a variety of reasons. First of all let’s discuss exactly what a keyword is and why they are needed. When somebody uses a search engine to find information they type some words into their browser that they think describes what they are looking for and press enter. It’s just like walking into a store and asking an assistant if they can help you.
Everybody uses their own words, but there are only a limited number of questions you ask to find out certain information, and so some of these will be popular, and used a lot, and others will be less so, and used less often. The words these people are using for their search are keywords. Keywords can comprise of a single word or a whole sentence – a keyword is the search term somebody uses to find what they are searching for.
‘Internet marketing’ is a keyword, and so is ‘where is internet marketing information’. Two different keywords used find out about internet marketing. The search engine looks at these words and looks in their index of spidered sites for these words. If you site has the exact search term, it has a good chance of appearing near the top of the results list. However, that position is determined by a large number of other factors, and the keyword is only one of them, but a very, very important one.
What you are looking for to use on your website, then, are keywords that a lot of people use, but that don’t have many other sites giving results for. The fewer the results, the less your competition. That’s the information that keyword tools give you: the number of results for a keyword and the amount of competition using that keyword on a web page – it is individual web pages that are listed, not whole sites.
You can carry out that analysis perfectly competently without paying for expensive software. First the demand. A good tool is the Google Adwords Keyword tool. Just type ‘Keyword Tool External’ into your browser and you will get it. Enter your keyword and you get an analogue representation of the demand in terms of monthly search volume, and supply. You can also find the amount Google Adwords advertisers are paying for position one in Adwords which is a rough indication of importance.
How To Do Effective Keyword Research?
The search engines with their unique algorithms crawl a number of websites and rank them. Through this process of SEO, the webmasters optimise their sites to get noticed by the search engines. Initially in the early mid 1990s, the webmasters optimised their sites for the good content, and thus provided information but due to rapid increase in the competition, they started SEO of their sites only for search engines. I would like to say that be natural and user-friendly to the visitors rather than for search engines.
Let me tell you that the process of SEO starts with the selection of keywords. So the first question arising in our mind is – “How to do effective keyword research?”. First select the most appropriate targetted keyword or keyword phrase so that when someone searches for that specific phrase the search engine returns your site on top of the list. Selecting the best keyword and framing the sentences around it is a bad practice. Instead of that maintain the theme of your site with that keyword.
You can conduct an effective keyword research manually but it may be a time taking process. In this fast moving world, it would be better to run a keyword software and do effective keyword research. Over the years, I’ve used so many keyword research tools, but recently I had a chance to use Keyword Elite SEO software. Indeed it’s a very user friendly keyword research SEO software. It has enabled me to create a list of 10000 keywords. You can manually do research on just 10 keywords, but with this software, I was able to conduct research on 10000 keywords. With out any second thought I bought this software.
The new Keyword Elite SEO software could generate a massive keyword list of 50,000+ keywords for your Adsense websites, or pay per click campaigns within a record time. So you don’t have to pay to any high priced lead generation company for this work.
A quiet interesting feature of Keyword Elite SEO software is that it allows a spy on adwords competition. You can monitor the competitors Google Adwords campaign. This project alone could make you a fortune.
With Keyword Elite SEO software, now I could analyze the SEO of all high ranking websites. One thing is sure this SEO software is a must have research tool if you want to be on top 10 of any search engine, whether it may be Google or Yahoo or MSN. Just grab the most cutting-edge keyword research SEO software ever with free life time upgrades.

Keyword Elite Software Review
I was furious. I had waited weeks for the launch, counting down every day. But what was truly terrifying was my knowledge that the new Google Cash Detective customers would soon be monitoring and stealing my profitable AdWords campaigns.
It was time for emergency measures. I decided to check whether there were any other software applications with similar capabilities. And I found several references to Brad Callen's Keyword Elite software.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Keyword Elite might do almost everything I had been expecting from Google Cash Detective. And Keyword Elite has a price tag of just $176 so I was pleasantly surprised. Just a day earlier I had been ready to pay $497 for GC Detective.
I wanted to check whether this software lived up to its claims before purchasing it. I noticed that Brad Callen has a series of videos available on his sales page. You can basically "look over his shoulder" as he uses every single part of the software. I watched them all and that settled my final reservations. I was convinced, so I grabbed my credit card and purchased my own copy of Keyword Elite.
The software was downloadable immediately and I had it installed on my computer within a few minutes. Learning to use it was a breeze, especially after watching the videos. Now let's look at what I discovered.
Keyword Elite is basically organized into five parts or 'projects'. Here is what each project will do.
Project One: Creating Huge Keyword Lists
Can you really generate keyword lists of more than 10,000 keywords in just minutes? I typed in "dog training" and within a few minutes I had a list of 2,000 words. Far less than 10,000 but my internet speed is quite slow and Keyword Elite was still working away. I decided to leave it running in the background while I did some other work. When I came back to look it was up to 19,776 words and still climbing.
That was good enough for me. I don't care about the three minutes - I just wanted to be sure it could generate huge lists much more quickly than the days it would take me to do it manually.
I was pleased to discover that Keyword Elite had intelligently added words such as 'dog behavior issues' which were related but didn't contain all of my original words.
Now what do I do with twenty thousand words? For a start I can filter out phrases containing certain words. And I can add on any word before or after every phrase. I can also add brackets in case I want to use the keywords in Google AdWords. And I can send all my selected keywords to Project Two.
Project Two: Analyzing Your Pay Per Click Competition
This project is for people using pay per click advertising to drive traffic to their web sites. For any keyword you can see the number of monthly searches and web page results, you can see both the R/S and the KEI - which I particularly like - and you can see an estimate of the required bids to obtain positions 1 to 3 at Google AdWords. You can also see at a glance how many ads are running at Google and Yahoo.
Clicking on any keyword reveals a list of the URLs being advertised right now.
Project Three: Automatically Creating Web Pages Designed for AdSense
This project is for webmasters who create web pages for AdSense. At the push of a button the software quickly goes out and fetches articles that match your selected keywords, and then automatically makes a web page according to your preferred page template. Your AdSense code is already inserted in the page code.
Whatever timing issues I had with Project 1, this project easily makes up for. Earlier today I created 20 web pages based on some carefully selected high-paying keywords... in four minutes. That was only 12 seconds for each page!
I was a little disappointed that not all of the articles were as well-written as I'd like but I'll go through them and probably throw a few away, keeping only the ones I like.
Project Four. Analyzing the Top Ranked Web Sites in Your Niche
I've been using page ranking tools for years, and this is the first time I've found one with all the information I want in one simple report.
I simply type in a keyword phrase and a URL, Keyword Elite can fetch the top ranking web URLs for that keyword phrase. The report then shows me the Page Rank, the number of words on the page, the number of times the keyword is repeated, and the keyword. I can also see how often the keyword appears in the title, links, alt text, meta tags, bold text, and H1 heading tags.
At a glance I know what my higher-ranking competitors are doing better than me.
Project Five. Spying on Your Competitors' Profitable Ads.
I already saw who else was advertising on my selected keywords in Project Two. Now I can keep track of their campaigns. I set up a project here using their URL and the keyword. Keyword Elite runs and checks their ads every day so I soon learn how frequently and how long they've been advertising, and which position they're in.
I can now make a fair judgment whether their advertising campaign was profitable and take appropriate steps. For example I could copy their campaign, run something similar, or look for ways to do even better than they are, for example by writing better advertising copy or a better landing page.
At least I can get my revenge on those Google Cash Detective customers now! In conclusion, I have to say that I am truly impressed with Keyword Elite. It does so much more than most other keyword tools and costs considerably less. It has certainly been good value for money for me. I have saved several weeks' worth of time already!
11 Ways To Promote Your Website
There are many ways to promote your website, but we often forget some of the most effective. Let's review my 11 ways to promote your website.
Headers, Tags, and Titles - Search engines continue to evolve but there are a few things you still can do to give them a clue about what's on your website. One is to include your keywords in header tags. Additionally, craft a one or two sentence description that explains the content of each page, including some keywords from the page. This should go between the Head tags. Finally, you should write short, descriptive titles for each page. Don't use the same one for each.
Keywords - Look at your website copy. Are your keywords in the first paragraph? They should be because that is where the search engines expect to find them. But don't go overboard with keywords.
SEO - The above tips actually are fairly basic SEO activities, but there are some higher level SEO tactics that will help raise you site above the crowd. Hyperlink your keywords to make them stand out for both search engines and for carbon-based web visitors. Make the linked keyword more noticeable to search engines by linking it to a page that uses the keyword in its address. For example, if you hyperlink the phrase "ad agency" the page to which it is linked would have "ad agency" in its address to raise its profile. While we're linking, let's make these linked pages truly focused on information about specific keywords. If you really want to place your SEO program on steroids, purchase one of the software packages that helps you analyze each page on your site for its appeal to search engines.
Submit - There are both search engines and directories where you will want to submit your site. Key search engines for url submission include: Google, Yahoo, MSN Live Search, AOL and Ask. More than 95 percent of search volume happens at these engines. So, don't bother too much with all the small fries. And it is not hard to complete free registration for these engines. Typically, they will have a link that says something like "add your URL." There are a number of directories like DMOZ.com where you will want to submit your site, too. And, I think it is worthwhile to pay the $299 at the Yahoo directory. There may also be directories specifically for your industry.
Link - Develop a linking program where you solicit links from sites that cover the same topics as you. This directs traffic from those sites. Additionally, it tells search engines that you must have something worthwhile on your site if others are linking to you.
Write - Articles, blogs, news releases - all of these can help you increase your exposure and drive traffic to your primary website. Craft your "About The Author" box to include your web address. Once your article is picked up by other publishers, this will become a one-way link to your site, possibly helping boost your search engine ranking. Submit your press releases to PRWeb. I get a ton of traffic for myself and clients using this service.
Go Email - Develop your own e-newsletter, like Think, to help drive repeat traffic to your site. I use nTarget for my email marketing. Then, archive the newsletter on your site. This solid content tells search engines that there is a reason to visit you. Try to get other enewsletter publishers to mention you, consider trading ads with other publishers, or just buying ads outright. Finally, don't underestimate the power of a good email signature to drive site traffic.
Give Yourself A Promotion - Sponsor contests or develop your own promotions and then submit them to contest directories like Contest Hound. You could give away copies of your book, e-book, or white papers for people who sign up for your newsletter. Give away your product or service to randomly selected registrants. This is a good way to build your list of contacts so you can then drive them back to your site.
Pay The Man - ReachLocal is my pay-per-click ad engine of choice. If you are truly local, this is a cost-efficient way to reach people in a specific market only. However, you also can launch nationwide campaigns, too. You deal only with ReachLocal and it handles placing and paying for the ads with multiple publishers. It works for budgets of all sizes.
Speak Up - All right, let's go analog. There is no better way to make a good impression on a large number of people at one time than to deliver a good speech. Be sure to have business cards or some type handout that lists your website. Every time I do a presentation I see a spike in web visits and enewsletter sign-up.
Go Offline - Look at every printed piece that you have. Is your web address featured prominently? Is it in small type or - horrors - not even there! Businesses with fleets of cars and trucks should have the web address on their vehicles. Think about other physical places you can promote your site.
Those are my 11 ways. Get to it.
