Hey guys im a 19 year old that is new to all of this I have bought many different e-books like this but I never sat down and focused on them. I was just like "damn I dont get this I give up" or just get mad and stop. Anyways I have read a lot of great things about this and am sticking with it till I get it down. So here is my Problem I have.

I got to the part of the e-book that I usually give up on. Keyword research, if anyone has bought the book and can help me out with it I would appreciate it. Also if you havent bought the book and just have any tips for me please let me know by PMing me or adding my skype peter.gustas. also my msn dang_nubs@hotmail.com or aim coolkid4sure@aol.com.

Thanks in advance,



Peter G.

What specifically are you struggling with in regards to keyword research? If it's too hard, there are lots of people here on the forum that will do it for you for $10 or so.

thank you for your reply I really appreciate it basically what i do is I get the keyword im looking for with like 2.4k searches a month or more. Then I use the the tools to get the page rank and back links I'm just struggling with making sure its a good keyword and that I will be more than likely to get to the first page of Google.

Hope this helped answer some of your questions you might have I'll be more than happy to answer anymore you guys have for me.

[mikeroosa]

I'm going to go against the grain here, but in my opinion only the top 10 matter. Look at the 1st page of Google for your keyword and see what is showing up.

Is it article directories like Ezine, GoArticles, Squidoo, Hubpages? Yes, then go for it.

If you click on the sites and look at them, do they look like crap sites? Yes, then go for it.

If they are all page rank 4 and above it will probably be tough, otherwise go for it.

You are not going to pick a winner every time, so don't stress over it.

You will make mistakes and you will learn from it.

Hope that helps.

Don't make it harder than it is - step away from that description that you don't understand and look at some simple keyword research tutorials like

How To Do Keyword Research - The Beginners Guide to SEO

Not my site but it's a good overall explanation of keyword research.

I think people have trouble with keyword research because they expect to have a formula that provides "exact" results. Keywords are your best guess based on the information you find.

There is no one way to find the best keywords - you find a method that works for you and that you understand and that's good enough to get started. When a product tells you find keywords with XXX searches or XXX competing sites - consider those numbers a guideline rather than a strict requirement. Sometimes the ratios work even when the numbers aren't quite there.

ok now guys if im new to this is this the best thing to start with or do you guys know anything that is better for learning techniques for newbies. am I OK to continue with this or should i use something else first to learn?

[Sheryl Polomka]

Peter if you are building A100KB sites I suggest you follow Michaels keyword research procedure as outlined in the course.

His keyword research is a little different because of the type of keywords you are looking for and also because you are considering the CPC for each keyword. If you are having trouble with it then send Michael an email he is really good with customer service. You might also want to consider joining the Adsense 100k Blueprint forum as you will get a lot of help in there.

[peter800]

thanks Sheryl can you provide link to the form ill join under your referral if they have one.

It's an excellent product. Avoid the temptation to quit and move to something new every time you run into a wall. You made a good choice. I agree that product has a unique approach to keywords - but if you gain a basic understand of keyword research and then go back and reread the instructions, it will make sense to you.

Don't let problems with keyword research stop you from proceeding - stick with it. You may have to muddle through at first - but it will begin to make sense as you do it.

thanks I appreciate your encouraging words i'm going to take several days to read the link you posted on keywords as well as join the forum. just wanted to be sure this was good for the newbies like me too before I decided to stick with it

Peter, I'm learning right along with you. I struggled because I thought I had found a golden niche and when I learned how to do keyword research, I found out that my money maker got a whopping 36 searches per month. Sure, I could be #1 in Google, but no one would find me.

Then I got more frustrated because everythiing I have any sort of expertise in has a flooded market. I did a lot of digging and I think I've finally found something.

What are you using to do your research? I downloaded the trial of Market Samurai although I'm not convinced I'll buy it yet.

[peter800]

I have Market Samurai trial and keyword elite 2.0 I dont know if Elite is as good but I bought it before, so i might as well try it

You may also want to consider several years down the road. Those large keywords that everyone are so scared of, the ones that get the large traffic with the "big dogs" sitting at the top, they are not impossible to achieve, with some of the payouts being well worth the wait. So while you're working towards the long tail phrases for the short term profits, keep a constant trickle put towards those main keywords. One day, in a few years from now (which is much closer than you think), you may find yourself sitting on something very valuable. Or at least something powerful. Building authority, or at least an attempt, in at least one main niche, with the future in mind, couldn't possibly hurt a thing...

But I guess it's not like everyone is on a mad dash to hit all of those long tale terms, leaving many of the choice terms alone, for someone willing to work. So never mind, no one stands a chance...

You're young and intelligent, don't cut yourself short. And Don't throw your money away. "Watch" some of the leaders, closely, then do it better. It's not that they're smarter than you. Funny thing about the Internet, most everything is an illusion. You can be whomever or whatever you desire, if you desire.

Good luck on that blueprint

Peter800...mikeroosa made some excellent points in his post above. Also, make sure you follow the blueprint and that you don't get sidetracked.

It's so easy to go after every shiny new wso and clickbank product.

Stick with the blueprint until you have a firm grasp of the principles they teach.

Ken, Thank You for that. I came here tonight looking for inspiration, and that hits the spot!

[peter800]

thanks guys!

[misterkailo]

At first, I didn't understand keyword research too! What I did was look at YouTube videos and some of the free ones really helped me out a lot.

[O0o0O]

I would suggest building a long term plan. Outsource your keyword research. Then build many sites every month, and expect great returns 1 to 2 years down the road. Until then, relax and continue to build.

what i really wanna do is get auto blogs to make me money idk if those make good money bc i dont wanna keep posting new info you kno

[smwordsmith]

Peter,

Have you watched the videos that go with the A100K Blueprint? There is a video on keyword research that is very helpful. Watch it several times, if you need to.

Over the long run, I think you run a better chance with success with A100K rather that autoblogging. Once you get some income on the A100K, you can outsource your content creation.

An established A100K site simply needs 'drip-feeding'. Plus, you can always sell your sites. It's a business and one needs to think of it as that- you are the CEO. Think of it as a business, run it like a business and you can have success.

[bfas]

Thanks all for the good advice, and kind words re: A100k.

Peter, if you're stuck on keyword research or any other area, you're welcome to PM me and we'll figure it out.

Unfortunately, there's going to be some time & effort involved if you want to succeed with this - or most any other - business plan. But what you'll get in return is a strong, sustainable business. Autoblogging does not have long-term viability, especially after the "Farmer" update.

Peter -

One thing to remember is you can do everything right - and still every niche will not hit it out of the park.

You can do all the research and build a site and in 3 months be ready to take the site down. Leave it up - add a bit to it on occasion - and that little site may surprise you with some good earnings 2 years down the road.

If you think you didn't hit the niche or keywords right out of the gate - just let that site sit and stew on google while you focus on other sites. Some of these little web properties will surprise you. Makes it fun

Kay makes a great point, one I think people don't take into account: sometimes, even with all the 'right stuff', a site just ends up being a dud.

You can minimize the number of duds by doing everything 'right', but no one sees 100% successes, at least not indefinitely.

Conversely though, if you continue to create sites with all the fundamentals in place, you will see some "Homeruns", and even the occasional "Grand Slam".

I had similar problems to you and I have found that Traffic Travis helps a lot. The price is right in my opinion, FREE. They do have a paid version but the free one does everything I need.

I can easily understand your hesitation. I too wanted to make sure everything was perfect before I committed myself to it in the beginning.

Unfortunately theres no way around it. You are going to learn far more from trial and error than from anything else. If you are following a tried and true model, at least you'll have a better shot than many people who start in IM.

Keep in mind that with adsense, you will need a LOT of traffic and that will take some time. Focus on lots of good original content, highly optimized for as many relevant keywords as possible. Build lots of backlinks as often as you can. Simply do that and nothing else until it starts working and eventually you will get the traffic and in turn clicks.

Resist the urge to abandon your first site because you dont see any results right off the bat and lose motivation. Stick with it untill you are sure that you are ranking for as many good relevant keywords as possible. It takes patience. My first site had several hundred pages and several thousands of backlinks created before I ever saw any significant traffic. I almost gave up on it but then in around its fourth month, I finally ranked for my main keyword and and my traffic went way up. The site started making a little money. Now it grows every week.

Once that starts happening, you will be able to see what is working, what isnt working and where your improvements need to be made and this is where the real learning starts. Fight through that first project like a madman and you will never look back.

BTW you dont really need any fancy keyword research tools. The free adwords tool is fine. You can check your competition by looking on the first page of google for your keyword and evaluating the sites there. Those sites are the only competition that matter.

Pick your keywords, write and optimize your content, backlink, backlink, backlink, get traffic, be patient and you will get there. It's all about getting that targeted traffic. Good luck to you.

[peter800]

Hi Peter,

Received your email, thanks - will send you a reply shortly.

As for articles, with the "Farmer" update we suggest a minimum of 500 words for any articles, posts, or other content. The longer, the better.

You can find writers at every price point. To some extent, you get what you pay for, though there are resources for inexpensive content. Regardless of the source, it has become increasingly important to use quality, original content.
