Free Keyword Suggestion Tool From Wordtracker

Is it worth the monthly membership with wordtracker? Will you get better mroe accurate results with the membership?

Thanks

It's good for finding keywords, it digs for related terms a lot. It's probably the best non-Google database alternative. Meaning it takes its results from the metacrawlers.

As for Google database, the best is Micro Niche Finder in my opinion.

How many sales a day do you get now from it?

None, but it served its purpose back then (5 months ago). It was probably a trend.

Either way, it is still the fastest way to make money online in the short term.

Actually, when I asked about affiliate links, what I meant to ask was...What are the best ways to place your affiliate link so that readers will click them?

In other words, do you hyperlink keywords in each post to your affiliate product? Or, do you setup links/banners between posts?

I know you said to spread them so visitors are inclined to click on them, but what do you find to be the optimal way to post your affiliate links on your blog to make money?

Thanks for all of your input!

Try both. If they don't come with a tracking ID then set it up (Clickbank has that option).

Give the posts and banners different tracking IDs, that way you will know which one performs better.

There is no such thing as "THE best method/system". You need to test, tweak and track to see what performs better for you, your site and the niche you are on.

So how long did the sales keep coming in for?

For about 2 months. Not bad considering the time invested.

SEO really rocks! While we write posts here our URLs getting backlinks

[dome28]

Well done !!

[Thoth]

Thanks. Good post.

I still suspect how wordtracker data could be more accurate.

I quickly checked for a couple keywords,

For example, WT daily search is 14 for a keyword, google shows about 6000 exact monthly search(not broad), and google analytics shows that our traffic for that keyword is around 2500.

It is same with other 2 keywords that I checked. I know just comparing 2-3 keywords is not enough. Maybe if more people shares their experience, we can see the picture more clearly.

Hey Daniel,

Thanks for a great thread. Unfortunately I only saw this last night. Anyways, better late than never right.
I already bought a domain name and transferred it to blogger to try and leverage out blogger SEO benefits.
I went through the whole thread and I didn't catch the following two points addressed. Would very much appreciate if you could address them very briefly please.

1. You said you made 10 blog posts - I don't suppose these are like 10 pages of 500 word articles when you say 'blog posts' right?. How long were they roughly, in words? Now that you have matured five more months as an IMer after this site, what is the optimal word length for such a blog post that you would recommend?

2. You said you made 10 blog posts optimized for the keyword - does this mean all 10 pages/blog posts were optimized for the same kw as the domain name? Or were the 10 posts optimized for related kw for LSI?

Thanks Daniel, great job again and hope you have had many more successes after that point. Sorry to hear that sales have dried out for this site.

Hey Chucky,

1. They are about 200 words, but apparently search engines love long content so you should give that a try as well.

2. They are all optimized around the keyword I wanted to rank for, it doesn't have to be in the domain name necessarily but that does help.

Good Job Daniel.
I am still so curious with your keyword.
Maybe you have a spell in your finger. =)

Well, there's no point in hiding it anymore, it's not making any sales now.

The keyword is "top 10 scariest movies ever" and this happened in october (*hint* ).

The site has dropped to position 5 or so for that keyword and surprisingly it holds a PR3 with only ten 100-200 word posts.

Note: I haven't even touched that blog since October.

[StevenSaliba]

Thanks for the info. There are millions of keyword phrases out there that get tons of traffic with little competition. I just wonder how long is it going to take before huge corporations fill up all the top 10 spots of the search engines.

[adservant]

thanks for the help

Great work Daniel. I'm curious, what CB product did you promote for this niche?

Hi Daniel, I read this and two of other postings on article marketing and keyword research - great content!!! Thanks!

[annihilator]

Wow! But I wanna ask something - you're mentioning 4000 search results per day, but Adwords lists it as 20 and Seobook doesn't even return results for that keyword?

I mean, time has passed but how can it have changed that much?

It was probably a Halloween trend or something.

But why don't you Google: Business Consulting

I've been dancing between page 1-2 out of 42,900,000 sites (4,230,000 competition under quotes).

And according to the google keyword tool, more than 300,000 people search for it monthly.

- There are still keyword phrases with LOTS of Searches and Very little competition

Okay, but HOW are you guys finding these keyword phrases??

Check this thread out: Keyword Research & Implementation 101

That should explain the process.

Now, if you really want to dig deep for low competition, high searched keywords, you need keyword software like Micro Niche Finder or Market Samurai.
