I want to know what you think about targeting mlm or network marketing keywords for your site instead of home based business or work at home.

The reason I'm asking is because you can get a lot of traffic and there's not much competition for a lot of keywords in mlm or networking marketing. Do you think it will work?

Do you realize that your website is not "active"? I do know you are hosted at NameCheap, but, that's all.

If you are going for MLM keywords, make sure you revamp your all your pages, text and article tags for those keywords. Just because you change your keywords in your meta tags, if they are not prominent in your sales page and your inner pages you'll not get any Google traffic.

That's a lot of work, but, if that's the path you are considering, I'm sure it would work, if you do the work to change your site.

The site is not working for me too.

For the MLM words, I do recommend you use them too but make sure that your offer is MLM and not just regular affiliate programs that are not MLM based.

Okay I fixed it. I think I'll just stick to what Stone is recommending

I just thought it would be more targeted but there must be a reason he doesn't recommend what I was thinking about doing.

He is 100% correct about MLM keywords being less competitive because the search engines frown on MLM and Google is very clear their policy is against MLM in general. That is one of the main reasons why IMers do not get involved in MLM. That in itself is another reason why the keywords are less competitive. Make sense?

In the OPs context the question is directed at traffic from the search engines through the method of keywords.

Allen and talfighel are 100% correct and there are gold nuggets in their posts about the use of the keywords.Essentially, be honest about the use of MLM keywords across the entire site and do not limit the same keywords to any single page across the entire site and/or connected network of sites.

I call it full disclosure and it works well my own sites and the search engine results as long as the keywords are all relevant: all pages, all links, and all advertisements.

Honestly, take what Allen and Taf said with serious importance because it separates the successful MLM Online Marketers from the unsuccessful MLM Online Marketers.

"There goes the neighborhood"

I wonder if next "OPPORTUNITIES" will not become the next 'four-letter-word' in Google Law.

Or did the FTC or whoever cover that with the edicts a few years ago about the requirement to have a product or service associated with the opportunity lest ye be infracted for a program that is purely based on referrals (MLM'ish)-

With some it seems that the (product/service) is only a 'token' and/or in some cases only to be used by the membership - not sold for commission/sales.

However of late I have noticed a great emphasis on training and multi-faceted 'suites' or 'one-stop-shops' - (and this is commendable)* - domains, hosting, web conference, autoresponder, training, get it all together.

*Because the missing ingredient no matter how much training and documentation you provide, is always gonna be ' how do we do it' - and/or 'how do we put it all together now and move forward with it'. (this is where PIPS rocks because the basic puzzle pieces are all there in the FORMAT. wash rinse and repeat in whatever way you can roll with it!)

... but anyway I have always gravitated toward technical services and so that facet of my business would as such be best served by selling products or services rather than referrals. (however if I just had the marketing gene I could see that referrals are a perfect way to finance the services business).

With that said I don't care what you've got - you have to market and advertise it unless you plan on giving it away free.

So there is no getting around it. Can't be in business without it.

GOOD THING THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES EVERYWHERE

Love this: four-letter-word

Sites that promote "OPPORTUNITIES" have been one the the 'four-letter-words' in FTC, PayPal, and Google for almost a full two years! Nothing new. It is in the past year that those organizations made a concentrated effort to enforce policy.

How well did policy effect the MLM companies? Look closely at the sales copy for the last two popular MLM sites that changed their names and you will not find the words 'opportunities' and 'opportunity' within the public literature. Both of those companies where at one time PIPS programs. The FTC alone shook those companies up so much that one of them decided to close the doors. Stone had the sense to disqualify those very programs.

Facts are facts and that is why I advise people to never use the 4-letter-words on their sites in any way shape or form. Its just plain common business sense to avoid negative words that not just Google penalizes against, but also the FTC and PayPal.

Now there are sites that use the four-letter-words and are not impacted by the FTC, etc. simply because they do not actively promote a MLM. Also,some of those sites are long standing sites with strong endorsements from industry leaders, no history of infractions, etc. Big difference!

Use of the four-leter-word vs. promotion of the four-letter-word are two different concepts recognized by the FTC.

It is not Google, FTC, and PayPal that put MLM Marketing in the spot light... it was unethical MLM Marketers that put MLM Marketing in the spotlight.

PIPS is not one of the unethical companies and never has been. Look close at the people on the PIPS sales copy.. they are all respected business people that will not and do not associate with any unethical company. Also, look close at their own sites and the four-letter-words are not used in a promotional sense at all.
