| So how do you ramp up your sales to get Those "Long" Blue And Grey Bars In your Clickbank Account? 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. |

Wow thanks for this. My biggest problem is the initial keywords to start running with. Often I think it's good or hard to break into a competitive market. Even by using micro niche finder a few nights ago, it seemed everything was virtually impossible to break in with. Gonna see if your steps help. |

Thanks Casey, I would like to ask something; are Google Adwords Tool's numbers trustworthy? There is a huge discrepancy between Google's values and Seo Book's values. Which should I trust? |

I would say yes Google's keyword tool is very valuable. "Which software would be better to give you the number of searches that the search engine's itself?" Most of the software also take their values from google. eg Micro-niche finder. |

Thank you so much for going to the effort to put together this post! I appreciate that you "drilled down" the steps, like one would for keywords. Too often, people who have the techniques down forget that someone new to it doesn't know a step (or whatever) that is automatic to the experienced. Your post alleviates that. The graphics are terrific! Thanks, again. |

Great post. Just a couple of things to add. You should not purely base your research on the number of competing sites - you also need to think about the SEO, number of anchor back links, page rank, domain age, keyword in-URLs etc etc of the top ranked pages for your keyword(s). This is why it is so helpful to have good paid keyword research tools like MicroNicheFinder or Market Samurai. Andy |

I am not too sure about any free based tools. (maybe some other warriors might) but I would say if you can afford to get Micro Niche Finder you should. All the steps above and much more can be done with just a few mouse clicks. |

Excellent tutorial....many people forget to tell the 'minor details' of things that they do. They don't do it on purpose; just due to a process being a habit. You have shown and explained the details in this awesome tutorial. This ought to be a great help to many!

Thanks for you comment I try my best to provide quality in an easy step by step format to help others. I know that when I got started there wasn't much of a step by step model for me to follow. I had to learn some things the hard way and so I am trying to make it easier for others who are just getting started also. |

I can't believe you shared this information for free. I'm not sure if my fellow warriors realize how valuable this is, but it's what other so called "gurus" charge big bucks for, and has implications beyond just SEO and Clickbank. This keyword research information can also be used to find some keyword gems, and get costs down on PPC campaigns, while potentially increasing ROI's. I've been running PPC campaigns to drive traffic to my online store and have been looking at ways to improve my them. Up until now, I've sort of been "winging it." This information you've provided is what I'm going to use from now on, and I'll let you know how it goes. |

Good post...I think you should also look for long tail keywords that have buying phrases in them. Looking for those keywords will likely yield those people that are looking to buy.

So in step 1 why do you only select the keywords with 3 or more words?

Excellent post yesacpow, but i have a question for you. I have always had a hard time ranking for keywords with anything over 1,000 competing websites. Can you explain how you rank for keywords with up to 50,000 competing websites. Thanks yesacpow

You would have to analyze all the websites that are already ranking. Look where they are getting their backlinks from and do the same plus more for your articles. If you don't know where or how to get backlinks the best thing I could recommend you to is "Angela Edward backlinking servise" It is a WSO that she runs for $5 per month and supply you with 30 high PR websites you can get backlinks from every month. hope that helps. |

This is a great post - well done on sharing it in the forum. This process can be used as a base for all your marketing campaigns and is often part of over-hyped (and expensive) marketing courses. Follow these steps and you will greatly improve your campaign results.
