Is this a solid plan?

17 replies
I would like to know what you think about my marketing plan.

Please comment and let me know what you think and where I can improve. I really would like to know if you guys have other traffic driving methods.

Also am I being a bit stingy on the keyword research numbers. Should I allow for a higher keyword value, or for every 1000 exact match searches, should I allow more then 25000 phrase match search results.

Thanks





Internet Marketing Plan


Keyword Research

At least 1000 exact match global searches monthly
Keyword Value of 25 or less. Found by deviding keyword phrase match search results number by the exact match search number. ex. 25000 phrase match results devided by 1000 exact match searches equals 25. That means for every search there are 25 pages available. The more pages the harder the competition.
Search results page has google advertisements on the side.
Adwords cpc is at least a $1.00 or more.
Keywords need to bring buyers, or people that may buy.
The Keyword with the biggest buyer orientation should be the main keyword. Other keywords can be picked and inserted into the artcles.


Build The Website and Seo

Write 6 unique informational articles for a wordpress blog plus one article per product being promoted as a review article.
Insert the main keyword five times into each article. Insert the others through out the articles once or twice per article
Try to put a picture of each product.
In the reviews use bullet points
Use rating system, stars, percentage, 10 point.
Monitize the site with affiliate links, adsense. If you get a lot of traffic, sell advertising space.
If niche is appropriate, input an email newsletter to build a list.
Can also build your own product and sell yourself.
Make sure website title tags include main keyword.
Any pictures file titles will include main keyword.
Link to other articles in blog from other articles.
Update blog with new fresh unique articles, implementing keywords.


Send Traffic

Google will send organic traffic.
Build backlinks. Submit link to some link directories.
Find forums on niche and leave good relevant information, leaving website link as source of info.
Try to get guest posts with other popular blogs on your niche.
Find popular relevant websites and pay for advertising.
Ping your blog with pingomatic.
Submit articles to article directories

    It's a solid plan but make sure know exactly what you're doing in regards to SEO and keyword research, otherwise it will completely fail.

    It sounds like a perfect plan to me. Don't wear yourself out by trying to do everything in a couple of days though. A vital key I learned was to work on things incrementally so you don't get frustrated and then give up. All in all, great job putting this plan together, I'm sure you'll be successful, it just takes time. Good luck Thorick.

    Good planning, seems like you've really thought this one out. Like those above me have said, you've got something solid.

    This just isn't so, I'm afraid, Thorick.

    Look at it this way: which you would you rather compete for, a keyword with 5,000 competing sites of which the whole of the first page comprises age-old authority-sites each with multiple, relevant, high-PR backlinks from other age-old authority-sites, or a keyword with 5,000,000 competing sites with nothing much to speak of on the first page, some article directory articles and this sort of nonsense which one can beat in about 3 days? (There are many keywords like this).

    It's a no-brainer, isn't it?

    The reality is that this idea that "the more pages the harder the competition" - however popular and widespread it it - is a really misguided one.

    When I'm researching a keyword, what I care about is the SEO quality of the top 5 listed results for it in Google.

    I need to study those in detail because those are my only 5 competitors. If I can't replace any of them, there's no point in my trying the keyword, because I can't get any traffic for it (to speak of). I don't care whether those top 5 results, which I'll analyse and examine in detail, are followed by 4,995 other results or 4,999,995 other results: they're simply not relevant to me at all.

    Systems based on/around "numbers of pages" are fundamentally flawed as systems. SEO isn't about "numbers of things", really. It's about quality and relevance. At all levels, from keyword research onwards. Just my perspective.

    "If niche is appropriate"?

    A niche that (for some reason) isn't appropriate for list-building is one I wouldn't be touching. If you're having affiliate-links on the site, you need to build a list. For all the reasons explained in such detail in so many threads like this one and this one.

    For me, your entire plan wouldn't be worth doing without building lists.

    Again, just my perspective.

      I see what your saying, but from my experience I have always had better results with competing against less pages.

      I guess you can say faster results. I have done a lot of split testing, because I figured the same thing-"I'm only competing with the first page."

      I do look at everything; domain age, PR, backlinks for site and page. ( using Market Samurai)

      And one thing I noticed when I publish, I have been able to rank on the first page within 24-48 hours when my competition of pages are very low, this is with just using the sites backlinks, PR, domain age, and my on-site optimization (note: I use KW density of about 1%).

      But when I am going against millions and millions of pages, even if the first page is not very strong I end up over 300 spots back, sometimes way more, but of course with steady backlinking I climb.

      Anyway that's just my experience, it may not be necessary to check your page results competition, but you will get results much faster if you do. I'm not sure why it worked that way for me, maybe it has to do with the crawlers going through less pages or something.

      But I do strongly agree with Alexa, that:
      Be sure to BUILD A LIST No Matter What niche you are in. Only time it may not be necessary is if your building a strictly adsense site. Maybe some other reason I can't think of.

      Don't try to find a shortcut, when you don't even know where your going.

      FYI.. your websites in your sig file are giving me a 404 error? Just thought you should know in case it's your webhost provider playing tricks.

    I would really like to see more posts here.....
    Having a solid plan that you follow everyday is the most important. I am sick of people saying to me ... buy this and you will make thousands....this is just not happening. Not because it is not possible, but because people do not know how to structure themselves properly to be building their webpages consistently.

    Its a great plan - get going with it!....

    Also, have a think about having a schedule - what are you going to do by when- i.e. how many articles within a month - two months etc. What are your traffic expectations - by when. Putting your actions and then a schedule together can give you something to aim at and work too.

    Have you thought about how you will track your success - assuming you've got some analytics set up - have you thought about anticipated conversion rates etc? Again having some objective measures can help inform you as to how well your plan is progressing and also enables you to track the successes of any tweaks you make to your site(s).

    Sounds like a well thought through and researched plan. It should work but you will never know until you impliment it. I recommend trying it with a couple of sites so you can compare the results. You will never get the exact same result twice.

      I would go lower on the phrase match, 3000-4000, at least to start with

      You should get sufficient traffic per keyword still

    As a starting plan the only thing missing is at the bottom of the list....imlpement!

    Other than that, what the others are saying about keyword research is valid, but can be implimented at a later date. The first thing to do is implement!
