Question about Long Tailed Keywords, Articles and Total Domination

by MagicAce
12 replies
Hello,
I was playing around with some idead and I have some question for you experienced warriors...
When you promote a product as an afilliate it's that what youre doing?:
Find a couple of long tailed keywords related to your product that have more than 1000 searches a month and little competition and write articles around them including a link to your site in the article?
Is that the process?
Also...How do you make an article around a long tailed keyword....do you use the words in your keyword in the article? Or you have to use the long tailed keyword as a whole?
Maybe someone can make this things clear to me..Thank You!

    That's generally the idea but we with a few more tweaks to it.

    1 - You want to find as many long tail keywords as possible that are related to your niche

    2 - You want to create a seperate page on your website that caters to each long tail keyword phrase

    3 - You want to promote those webpages using a variety of means. if article marketing is one of your methods then you would write articles based around the niche topic and then link back to your webpage with the long tail keyword phrase or you could write articles based around the long tail keyword phrase while still linking back to your webpage.

    For a 400-500 word article you will probably only be able to use the keyword phrase 3 times within the article if you are submitting to a directory like Ezinearticles.com

    Try and use the long tail keyword phrase in your article title in order to help rank in the organic search engine results.

    Those are a few quick pointers.

    Respectfully,

      Hello Tim,
      Thanks for your detailed answer. But I have a question.
      Let's say the keyword is "farmville secrets free farmville cash". Do I have to integrate this keyword in my article exactly as it is? Or can I split it in parts like "farmville secrets", "farmville cash" and "free"?
      Also what do you mean by creating seprate pages that cathers to each keyword....you mean a page for every keyword exactly like the articles right?

When I use the google keyword tool, I like to use the exact match to only get keywords that people are actually searching for. I have my doubts that people are searching for the one that you mentioned above. Again, that's how I do it, some people may do it differently but I have seen more ROI targetting those exact phrase words.
        I just gave an example...It's not one I will use :p

          is all you need as far as the title goes.

          Now it makes sense and the search engine sees it as the whole phrase without the hyphen and no article directory will reject a title like this.
          Good tip. Sometimes the directories (EZA) get a little picky so I try to add a few extra words to appease them.

          A title like this looks less suspicious to the article directories:

          Revealed, The Best Kept Farmville Secrets - Free Farmville Cash For The Aspiring Beginner

          In your resource box you could use 2 links one could be "Farmville Secrets" and the other could be "Free Farmville Cash".

          You might also be able to squeeze the full link in a resource box like this:

          Become the envy of your Farmville friends after I reveal to you my "Farmville Secrets to Free Farmville Cash".

          Rough examples, I know...apologize for that.

          If I had a Farmville site I would build a page for each of these terms:

          Farmville Secrets
          Free Farmville Cash
          Farmville Secrets Free Farmville Cash

          Then I would systematically start submitting articles that pointed to all 3 pages using variations of the anchor text.

              Unfortunately this is really hard to determine.

              Farmville itself just reached it's one year anniversary. Any new product really won't have enough verifiable results to figure out the best keywords IMO.

              Personally I like to cover all bases and just go for every possible thing I "think" might catch on.

                One thing you could do is check out what the competition is doing since that search term is too new for the google tools. Like search and check out page rank, meta tags, blog post tags, what words they are links, and categories they are using.

                Good luck.

                I used to do that all the time and got good results. I don't know why but I have been forgetting to do it for many months. Sometimes researching keywords to death gets rather mechanical and unproductive. Then the content sounds forced and spammy. Just using common sense and words you yourself would use to search gets great results. That is a good pointer to try and think what might catch on. If you are right you are already ahead of the traditional keyword searchers.

                That's a good point an in some cases the combined traffic from a ton of low hanging fruit keyword phrases can be more then enough to generate a very respectable ROI.
