How to Target a Long Tail Keyword and Be On The First Page of Google

[MattSanti]

Would you like to be able to dominate the first page of Google or Yahoo! for any long tail keyword phrase?



Here's how in this quick step by step guide for massive one way link building.



1. Use the Google Keyword External Tool.



2. Identify a keyword (that is long tail) that has a decent cost per click. Hint this is your money keyword. If people are paying for clicks, that means people (customers) probably will buy from these keywords.



3. Take the keywords. Run it in a fake Google AdWords PPC campaign for 24 hours. Make a totally irrelevant ad.



4. After 24 hours look at the keywords that got the most amount of impressions. These are your money keywords as these are the ones most researched.



5. Write an article on your selected keyword phrase. A 2% keyword density rate is decent. Anything over that sounds unnatural.



6. Create different versions of each sentence manually. Add that into a spinner software like SpinProfit - Free Article Spinning Service.



7. Next you get different variations of the same article. Your content is unique enough to not get totally flagged but you don't need to worry about being 100% rewritten.



8. Submit your different variations of the article to web 2.0 properties such as gather.com, vox.com, xanga.com, livejournal.com, blogspot.com, wordpress.com and tripod.com. Make sure to include anchor text for your keyword you are targeting so you can get link juice for the one way links back to your main site/main page you want to promote.



9. Next take all your new mini-satellite postings and bookmark them on all the major social bookmarking sites such as delicious.com, digg.com, propeller.com, backflip.com, corank.com, igoo.com, sitesays, Mixx and others. You can find a good solid list and a semi-automated tool at http://www.socialposter.com.



10. Here's more in order for you to maximize and explode your traffic.
Gather all the rss feeds from the social media sites you submitted content to and and gather the rss feeds from the social bookmarking sites you submitted the content to.



11. Ping them. Each individual feed. You can use a site like technorati or pingomatic.com. This helps let the search engines know that there is new content that needs to be indexed. The pages was recently updated.



12. Now take all those rss feeds and submit them to RSS directories such as feedage.com or feedbase.net.



13. Congratulations. You have done about 1% of the work. Seems like a full day is already gone, doesn't it?



Here's the truth. In order to get consistent traffic on the search engines, you need to repeat this activity many, many times in order to rank.
Trying to conquer for one keyword is not going to do you or your business any justice.



Finding the right keywords is 90% of the problem - getting the right ones...and your money buying ones to add to that.



Then you need to create content. You need a list of 25 solid keywords to begin with.


Then you need to maintain each of those keywords on a monthly basis. You need to add new content each and every month repeating the entire process.

What do you think? Flawed process? I'm curious how else have you used social media to rank in the search engines? This is the step by step system of what I personally have found to work for me.

That's all very solid stuff. The key for you now is to automate as much of that as possible and scale it up as large as you can manage.

You seem to be where I was about a year or so ago, so here's a few pointers.

Your content doesn't even need to be that original. You can easily re-post stuff from article directories with permission, and it will rank well in Web 2.0 properties.

One trick is to write a custom introduction for each article you repost this way, and include backlinks to your money sites using your target keywords as anchor text.
Personally, I even stick ads into my content, too. I figure if all those RSS feeds will be spidered when I submit them, SOME of that stuff is going to get picked up and reposted in aggregators. May as well get the free exposure, I figure.

Once you can free yourself up from having to create content all the time, you can start investigating ways to automate dripping out all of this massive amount of content. Then you can just collect a bunch of content, automate it to autopost into the future, and then you can go start another campaign and forget about this one for a little while.

I currently use a customized private wordpress install to manage all of my content harvesting, ads, publication, and social promotion. That's top secret, sorry. Using that, when I create a new blog to focus a campaign around, my goal is to give it enough material to run on autopilot for a year. My current process has that taking about 2 days to set up, but I'm looking for ways to optimize a few processes.

I just bought a bunch of Big Mike's software during the Father's Day sale, so hopefully RSSBot and SocialBot in particular can help cut some corners for me.

I digress. That won't help you any, but this might:

Before I built that WordPress system I used to use Thunderbird Email client with a plugin that lets you set the advance date to fire an email. You can load up all of your content into there and just leave it open on an internet-connected computer and it will post for you all day long. When I was doing that, I set up Thunderbird to be IMAP setup with a gmail account.

Blogspot is the main one that will allow you to post via email. But once you do that, you've got your links and stuff in an RSS feed, and you already know the benefit of submitting that around. It took me a while to realize how much that really helps, so kudos to you for doing that. I ping and submit the RSS of practically everywhere I even leave a comment.

Now, for a long time, I only ever really focused on Blogspot because it was the only one I ever found that made it really easy to use this way with the emails.

But not anymore.

There's also a little-used tool that is really REALLY making some cool things possible if you use it wisely. I'm not ready to share that publicly yet, either. Not here anyways, no offense.

It ain't really a secret tool or anything, but the untapped power here is in connecting an email system that you can set up to send in advance, with a tool that can let you post to many places via a single email interface. That's as big a hint as I'll give. No one's using it to it's full potential. It takes a good bit of work to set up, but once you do...

Sorry, enough obtuse hints.

Keep doing what you're doing, automate and scale. Make as many pages like this as you can, link them intelligently, and you'll be surprised at how far you can get in a year or so.
