What I would do is..... use these keywords for ppc, after I ensure which keywords convert well, I would would write articles based on those keywords.

Send your visitors to product reviews or some presell landing pages, squeeze pages would be good if would like to build a list.

One more thing, you could create related videos, use your keywords as tags then submit them to YouTube.com & some other video sites.

Today I want to leave some info with you to help you get those blue and grey bars in your account also!

"Do Proper Keyword Research"

Once You now know that there is money to be made in your selected market, you need to also know how to get your website in front of your prospects. This means you need to know what terms people with problems, that your product caters, to are searching for.

The good thing about this is that there are numerous tools on the market today that can help you to achieve this. These tools are known as keyword tools and they keep a track of most of the keyword phrases that people uses when they are looking for information on the search engines.

For this we are going to use the free Google Keyword Tool Itself.
(https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal)


Step #1- The first thing you should do is type in a general term that is related to your market. For example let’s use the weight loss market. So you could start with “fat loss”

Look for key phrases with 3 or more words.

Step #2-Copy all the key phrases with 3 or more words and save the to a notepad file.



Steps #3- Once you have done that paste all the keywords you copied back into the search box. Uncheck the ‘use synonyms’ box and then click ‘get ‘keyword ideas’




Step #4- Next you will select ‘exact’ to get a list of the exact search terms that people are searching for.



You will notice that the search numbers have decreased drastically. The reason for this is because we are getting more and more targeted to our audience and these terms are the exact phrases that potential customers are searching for.

Step #5- In this step we are going to find out what the competitions for each of our keywords are like. So we are going to copy each of the key phrases one by one and search for them in quotation “” in Google. This will give us an idea of all the other websites that have optimized their websites for the selected keywords.

Note the number of websites returned.

Now you are going to create a database of all your keywords and the exact searches and the number of competing websites.

Step #6- Open an excel document. Create 3 columns and label them keywords, exact searches and number of competing websites respectively. Repeat steps 5 and six above and record your results for all your keywords under each column in your excel document. (Note If you Have a keyword tool such as Micro Niche Finder this step will automatically be done for you.)

Step #7- Repeat step #1 to step #5 then record your result in the same excel document as in step #6.

Hint: in step #1 I started with the broad term “fat loss” now I can use “weight loss, lose weight, lose fat etc.”.

There are literally hundreds of keywords for every niche you can think of. Using my example of the weight loss niche here is a glimpse of what I came up with:



And this is just from the broad term “fat loss”. Just imagine the potential and you thought the weight loss niche was “too saturated”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step #8- This is the elimination step. We are going to get super targeted now. So go in your excel document and delete all the keywords that has more than 50,000 competing websites. Now you should have a list of some super targeted keywords that you can rank well in the search engines for. Cool eh J

Step #9- Select the keyword with the highest amount of searches for your main keyword. The trick will be to get your presell page (discuss later) to rank for your main keywords while getting your articles to rank for the other low competition keywords phrases. So in that way you are getting maximum traffic form all angles to your presell page which leads to your merchant’s page. And that should = $$$$$$$$

So what are you waiting for?

Go ahead and do some work- The quicker you get started the quicker you will see those blue and grey bars coming in.

Hope this post could help someone

have a great eve.

Hi yesacpow,

I just found this post today. I like the way he outlined the steps for breakdown of keywords. I have microniche finder and have been under utilizing it's potential. This helps me a lot. Now I'll look for better results!

Thanks for your comment, I am really glad this info could help you. No go ahead and ramp up your commissions

this is very well made and shows nicely how to do some simple, but effective KW research in Google.

However, my problem is NOT finding the keywords..but the pricing of bids in mainstream-niches like "fat loss". Bids which are halfway attractive (say, under $0.25) usually have a very low search volume..and usually bids for the better KW are unsuitable for (most) clickbank products.

A very good example, i just checked a few of your example keywords, eg. "fat loss exercise" which shows at 1.15 EURO (!) per bid.

But..your method of course helps to find the cheap ones, even if search volume might be lower.

[yesacpow]

Hey G

What's up?

I totally understand what you are saying. Now I am not a ppc expert so this post was mainly for persons who want to find low competition keywords to rank for in Google. Otherwise cpc can be very high for some of these keywords even when there are little competition with regards to seo.

However I am glad I could be of 'little' help to you.

Maybe when I get good at ppc I may post a detail step by step for that as well.

Have a great day.

I think this is only necessary when you go for keywords with higher competition to know how tough it will get. But then you really must dig deeper. For long tail keywords with just a few hundred or thousand competing pages analyzing all this is most likely a waste of time as you will rank easily anyway and the time is better spend creating some backlinks for your own pages than analyzing the backlinks of the others.

I am new to the forum...thanks for the detailed info. I am learning there is tons a good free information here (including this thread). I appreciate it.

[Peter Ramos]

Amazing information is given here.

Probably the best advice I have been given for free
in the keywords research subject.

Thanks for your insiders!


Peter

[schnisz]

Great info! Agree about strength of competition. I also believe its important to learn the fundamentals of what you are searching for and knowing what the results mean. I've seen people teaching this say "dont worry about what this means" in regards to exact and broad etc. automation is great too. There is a free version of market samurai available. Does anybody here know the best settings to duplicate this process? Thanks again for the report!

Brian

[yesacpow]

No problem mate

You are very welcome and I am very glad I could help.

[femkeshe]

Good clear description! and although i already knew the basics it is good to emphasis the 3 word minimum again.

tx,

[socksiong]

Thanks for the post! Really informative, I'm going to put it to practise soon! Btw, can i post this on my blog?

[femkeshe]

I even came back to read it again, this is a really usefull post for me.
Wondering though what the minimum of searches is for you to follow a keyword?

f.

[yesacpow]

Hey femkeshe,

depending on the niche I go for a mimimum of 100 searched per month. It is not much but If you have 10 articles ranking for 10 keyword phrases that get 100 searches per month then that is 1000 searches. So you can see how it all adds up.

I disagree here. You should really analyze every keyword you go for because fact is not all articles will rank in top 10 if you just looked at under eg 50K results. Lets say a keywords has 1000 monthly search but only 3000 competing pages, all were PR of 7 and 20k backlinks. No article however good it is is gonna rank high generally imo.

After you learn how to analyze page results your better off doing that then spending time writing an article for the keyword and having no idea whether its rankable.

[steveniam]

Thank you for listing the step-by-step guide how to do a proper keyword research. It is a great help to me although I am already a not-so-new newbie.

[ChrisBa]

this is a good way to do keyword research - there are also several other good ways too, just remember there is always more than 1 way to skin a cat

[bahnsurf]

Hi,

Nice guide there! I had been using it ever since and it works like a charm. But I not using MNF, instead I use Market Samurai (MS). It still works the same just that you will have all the data in one place.

cheers

[jover101]

thanks yesacpow you did a really great job. Once we get the keyword research pat down everything after should be easier since "keywords" are the most important part of the campaign.

[YanKirby]

Yeps, pretty straight forward yet when it goes right down to it, its all that is needed.

When you start raking in some $$, invest on tools such as micro niche finder or market samurai. This will save you half the time to get keyword research done.

Great post nonetheless.

[Glassjaw009]

I agree with you. Too many affiliates never do keyword research or go for keyword that they will have a very hard time ranking for. It's important to find the "low hanging fruit" so to speak when promoting anything, and it also works for Clickbank! Terrific post!

[hlvasquez]

Great post.

I'm just starting on this and you just brought me some light.

Manny Thanks

[chandan_dutta]

Hey Casey,

You are really great. I appreciate your tips on how to do proper keyword research. It's hard to believe that you are giving away this information for Free.

Thanks a lot,
Chandan

[TonyPage]

Hi yesacpow!
I've done what you said and I ended up with 2713 keywords from Google's keyword tool, now I have a small problem - how do I speed up the process of checking the number of competing page for each keyword? I have a copy Keyword Elite but it does broad search as I understand and I get not accurate search volume. The second problem I faced is that a lot of these keywords have very strong competition (I already checked some) and the common pattern is a website with a decent amount of backlinks that dominates a large group of keywords. So how do I find these low competition keywords? Even if I select a keyword that has 1000 exact searches it has minimum of 100k competing pages with exact search.
P.S. You mentioned in your first post presell page. Where can read more about that?

Thanks

[osazzz]

If you enter a word/phrase without the "" Google assumes you are looking for broad match - this means that Google ALSO takes related words/phrases into account ---> Way broader and more search results.

If you enter "search term" then Google looks for everything containing the phrase "search term"....and if you enter [search term] it is an EXACT match and searches for ONLY the exact keyword as entered.

Example:

You could enter weight loss (without the ") and Google could also use terms like dieting, exercises, lose belly fat since those are all BROADLY related to weight loss. (Non real life example here)

[KeepFaith]

Man, I love you for sharing such awesome information! I had doubts when selecting certain keywords because I wasn´t sure if I had the potential to show up on google´s first page for the chosen keywords! One of the most amazing posts here on this forum in my humble opinion
