What Keywords Phrases should I avoid?

7 replies
I saw a list a while back about ways to earn money on the internet. The list was interesting. But as a young IMer (I don't consider myself a newbie), I am techno saavy, and I am over 50. I thought it would be interesting to see what people thought of as phrases to AVOID early on.

earn money
easy cash
free money
earn extra cash
work from home
passive income
earn extra money
money making
money making idea
online fast cash
blogging for cash
home business
make money
making money
become rich fast

These are a few I coughed up. So please add some more.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    It really does depend on what products you are promoting as to what keywords to avoid.

    I normally always add -free to the negative keyword list if i am using Google Adwords and promoting a paid service/product.

    Just try to make them as targeted as possible for instance for "make money blogging", you could have "How to make money blogging online" and may well get sales!

    Hope this helps!

    No one can tell you what keyword phrases to avoid.

    We don't know what market your targeting or the product your promoting.

    I can however, point you into the right way, how to do proper keyword selection
    that will not get you slaped by google.

      ok!

      Let's change the focus. Apparently my goal is somewhat blurred. I am personally not looking to get into those markets.

      I just thought it would be interesting to know what Keyword Phrases are VERY difficult to jump into.

        Markets that you can look into are markets for what people use day in and day out

        I remember one marketer that died not to long ago got into coat hangers and made a million bucks in it in one year

        he got into it as a test and realized the need was greater than what the data showed

        so you should test markets for people use maybe instead of the opportunity markets

        testing is everything

          I see now that the picture or rather the info I was curious about is still blurry.

          Thanks to all of you for responding! The info given is true and great!

          But I will attempt to try and re-articulate what I am looking for in a later thread.

            I think I understand what you are asking fine! (I could be wrong:rolleyes. You are asking folks for keywords, phrases, etc. of things a newbie has to learn from the school of hard knocks usually.
            Things like:
            ffa
            safelists
            link farm
            overnight success
            rich
            list blaster
            email blaster
            banner ads
            surf programs
            etc.
            etc.
            yeah, yeah, some can be used by some--but mostly newbies should avoid these starting out.
            I think that was what you were asking--but agian, I could be wrong
