Hi
This post is a little longer than normal it is result of many
conversations I had recently
Make sure to check out a cool Ninjas trick I included, I guarantee
you this will surprise you
Spring is finally in the air
I don’t know about you for some reason winter seemed much longer
this year, especially having that last storm arrived after
seeing mud season disappear
Now things are drying up around the farm again and the temps are
reaching 70’s daily
I hate mud season its the last transition point when you live on
a farm that reminds you of the past winter
With great weather on the horizon it is also planning time for many
Lots of things to do with the new summer season approaching
Now is the time people are planning their activities
associated with summer
I don’t know about you this change in the seasons is the
kick in the butt for me to add more content to my pre-existing
websites and make new ones for the upcoming demands
People are planning their vacations, making travel plans
or just plain outdoor activities around the house and more
I can smell the barbecue cooking already
Last year Google devastated many of us with all their
updates
Some of it was justified and many suffered collateral damage in
the wake of the updates
Content is KING again, but with a twist a certain amount of
engagement from your visitors is expected if you want to rank
these days
The question for many is knowing where in the Google search results
they can fit
You can’t do this with just writing good content if your competition
dominates the top keywords in your niche
So you need every advantage in finding where to poke holes
in the Google Algorithm and hope for the best
The long tail for keywords is still the way to go
Finding which keywords to target is always a challenge
As I consult more and more with the IMers the most common question
I receive is about optimizing web pages for keywords with low to no
search counts from the Google Keyword Tool
What seems to be forgotten when you focus on only the monthly
search counts in GWT is the long tail contains the desirable keywords
with the high daily search counts
In fact when you look at all the variations of the long tail for
particular keywords the search counts for daily visits can add
up
Lets take an example of a long tail root keyword
“make money”
This is an extremely highly searched keyword phrase with tons and
tons of people searching for this especially with this recession
Lets take a look at some data from the Google Keyword Tool for this
highly competitive keyword for local monthly searches
make money broad match 2,240,000
make money exact match 12,100
make money phrase match 1,000,000
Notice the vast difference of searches between the exact match and
the phrase match
There is 987,900 difference between the two of them
The difference between the two of them is the long tail
The greater the difference shows that many are missing out on the
possibilities of getting in front of that traffic if you only look
for high search count results
Here is one long tail keyword I found using an evergreen method that
always works
You can find the technique available below if you want to know how
I found the information below
Here is a hot gem I found people are searching NOW
“how to make money on youtube videos without adsense”
This has basically a zero search count in the Google Keyword Tool
Another key factor is that this keyword phrase has less than 10 results
on page one for being optimized
Now lets break this long tail phrase down into some variations
how to make money on youtube 49,500
how to make money youtube videos 3,600
how to make money videos 6,600
how to make money without adsense 210
make money videos 6,600
make money youtube videos 3,600
make money without adsense 210
Now this adds up to 63,510 searches happening for local monthly searches
using only one long tail phrase with basically no search data
Just think if you have multiple long tail phrases in your content
how much potential traffic you set yourself to received
The key here is that original long tail phrase
“how to make money on youtube videos without adsense”
Is a hot searched phrase being looked for today
so zero search counts in the Google Keyword Tool is deceiving if
you don’t understand why
I could go on and on with how to dig up long tails with great potential
but this is beyond the scope of this post
This is where I point you to a source on how this is done
I am running a WSO at
Many of you already own this WSO and if you haven’t received the
latest update just reply so I can get this to you ASAP
I cover an evergreen technique for discovering how to find these
gems of the long tail with literally no optimized competition
If you do not own this already the WSO has a One Time Offer available
to automate the search process
I took the seed keyword “money money”
Ran it in the tool and came up with over 2,000 long tail keywords
I found about 500 long tail keywords that had
less than 10 results on page one using the technique in the WSO
Do you need the automated tool to find the gems NO
But it makes life much easier if your pressed for time
The WSO for the automated tool was also WSO of the Day thanks to all
of you who already have their hands on this software
I also updated this software recently as well
Here is the link for the software if you purchase the WSO evergreen
technique you will see the link below on your download page
Automated Keyword Research Tool
Before I let you go I want to point you to a Cool Ninjas Trick
I promised at the beginning of this post
I know very few are using this to put yourself in a position to help
Google rank you
First go to Google search add your keyword, take a look at the ranking
websites on page one
Next go to the Google Keyword Tool
add that keyword into the search box
then add one of the urls in the text box for Website
next click search
You will be totally surprised what Google will return for results
I am always surprised when I do this Ninjas Trick,
and it will surprise you as well
The phrases returned tells you how Google views ranking sites
Do yourself a favor do it to your existing pages and new pages
I found the optimized content I wrote was not really
viewed by Google the same way
This exercise was a very sobering exercise for writing optimized content
Again
the evergreen technique is here
if you want to automate the discovery process the software is available here
Automated Keyword Research Software
Even if you are not interested in the WSO’s do yourself a favor
try the Ninjas Technique on your competitors and your pages
WE all need insight to how Google works and this is one of the best
ways I know
To your success
