How I get huge conversion rates in any niche

When I first attempted internet marketing I tried my hand at PPC. Being clueless I bid on every keyword I could think of, some of which were totally untargeted. My conversion rates were miserable.

Today I can get conversion rates in excess of 30%. I don't have a list (never have had one). I get very high conversion rates by bringing product buyer traffic to my websites and it's very easy to do as competition is usually low for the types of keywords I'm talking about.

A lot of affiliate marketers want to get ranked or bid on product names which is good but someone searching for just the product name could be an information seeker. I don't want information seekers, I want BUYERS ONLY! People who are sitting at their computer with their credit card right next to them.

So I only get my website ranked for these type of keywords:

order/buy/purchase *product name*

where to order/buy/purchase *product name*

where can I order/buy/purchase *product name*?

*product name* (name of country e.g Singapore, UK, Canada, Australia etc..)

order/buy/purchase *product name* (name of country)

I need to buy/order/purchase *product name*

I want to buy/order/purchase *product name*

Conversions are ridiculously high. There are days when I have 100% conversions doing this. You only need a tiny trickle of traffic each day to make good money.

Getting ranked in the organic search results is normally no problem as most people are busy going after "review" keywords which are ok but don't convert nearly as well as product buyer keywords.

There are thousands upon thousands of products out there to promote and by concentrating ONLY on these very specific buyer keywords you can make a lot of money.

Try it and you'll see what I mean

  • Excellent tip! Thanks very much for sharing.

  • This is cool but after doing a few checks with the adwords tool, every time I add "buy" to anything it shows a VERY low search volume (like, not worth bothering with). surely this can't work for many niches?

    • I don't trust the Google keyword tool. Sometimes when it shows low search volume it's actually quite high. I prefer to use Google Instant.

      Well it works where anyone wants to buy something so that's a lot of niches. Think of all the thousands of products on Amazon.

    • I agree matt... and, OP, while I agree "buying" keywords would convert better, the searches are just too low.

      How can you say google keyword tool is wrong? I use this and market samurai to get my data... and they're usually the same... and now you're saying they're wrong... can you back this up?

      Here's what I do, I choose a good selling product on Amazon, I do the keyword research, high searches with low competition, and get an EMD .com when possible.

      If the highest ranking keywords have "buy" or "best", "cheapest" etc... I'd go with that, but they rarely do...

      Example, I have a product I'm promoting now. The keyword I'm targeting is just the type of product, example, "electric lawnmower"

      This has around 14,000 exact searches per month... now, when i stick "buy" infront of it, I get 170 exact monthly searches...

      I agree that the people searching without the word buy, may be looking for just info... but the searches are just too high.

      As far as I know, google instant doesn't give you any hard numbers, on how much the term is searched.....

  • Thx for the tip
  • Great tip and don't forget similar terms such as 'best price for,' 'cheapest,' 'discount' and so on - people love a bargain which is why Amazon does so well...

  • That's a great tip. Some might say obvious but I'm sure lots are not doing it and would be grateful of this advice. Thanks for sharing!!
  • @mfeco

    I mean Google Instant, I like playing around with it seeing the long tail product buyer keywords people are actually typing into Google.

    @Aussie_Al

    Oh 400 backlinks would be more than enough. Heck I don't have any backlinks for some of the buyer keywords I rank for.

    Simple but seems effective, am actually going to try this one out you know!

    • Look forward to hearing about your results!

      This works amazingly well. In fact I created a brand new website in a brand new niche a few days ago. I like to watch my traffic stats closely and I noticed my very first organic visitor from Google resulted in a sale. 1 visitor/ 1 sale.

      I've tested this with different products, different niches, with Clickbank/Amazon you name it the results are the same - very high conversion rates.

      Here's an example..

      Let's say you decide to promote a digital camera, say the Canon t3i

      You don't want to rank for cameras - too competitive, info seekers, low conversions

      You don't want to rank for Canon cameras either - too competitive, info seekers, low conversions

      You don't want to rank for Canon t3i - too competitive, some info seekers, some buyers, low conversions

      You don't want to rank for Canon t3i review/reviews - too competitive, some info seekers, some buyers, low conversions

      Forget all those keywords!

      Go straight for the BUYERS. You want the visitors that have already done all the research on that camera on other websites and are going to purchase it on yours.

      So let's go to Google..I'll show you what I mean.



      As you can see I've typed in buy canon t3i

      Here's where Google Instant is very useful. It shows me all the product buyer keywords, keywords that people actually type into Google.

      and in reverse too..




      Now I might type in "where"



      and so on...

      Play around with it.

      Once you have about 10 keywords these can be used as anchor text for building links pointing to your page. Ranking for these is easy. Sometimes just on-page SEO is enough.

      Think how many products are on Amazon.com, on sites like Shopping.com etc. Need ideas for niches and products? Have a look at Shopping.com's top searches

  • So you mostly only go for product name keywords with buy, order or purchase in it?
  • It's a targeting method. Add to that compelling persuasive copy-writing and you win.

    I've gone to the extreme of blocking out all foreign traffic that can not buy what I am offering. It's not hard to do. Traffic means nothing if it can't buy from you. Nice post!
  • Fabulous tip!! Thanks for sharing.

    Question 1: What do you put on the landing page? Full info article? Brief description with link? Use images? Other? I'd be extremely grateful if you shared how you set up the landing pages generally for maximum conversions.

    Question 2: do you do 1 product per site or many products per site?

    My concern if you do this with many products for 1 site is it could start looking like a thin affiliate site without some beefier content and result in lousy SEO.
    • [1] reply
    • On my pages I simply have information about the product and where they can order it. They've decided they want to buy it before even getting to my site so I have no preselling to do.

      All I do is direct them to the merchant website

      So a brief product description with a link underneath..

      Click here to order from the official *product name* website

      One product per site works best. Although it's ok to promote different products on one site as long as they're in the same niche. I wouldn't set up one site with different products in different niches.
  • Thanks for the tip, it only makes sense that people who are looks for "how / where to buy product xyz" would convert insanely well, they know they want to now they just need to find a site that sells it.
  • Mark, this is fantastic! Very simple, but VERY smart.

    It just goes to show you how people tend to over complicate things. If you want to target buyers... then target keywords with "buy" in them!

    Great stuff. Thanks for this.
  • Thanks for sharing the helpful tips.
  • That is actually a really useful tip! thanks for sharing

    edit: I may have to give this a try ASAP once I get my next paycheck!

    If you turn Google Instant & go to the Google home page to do your keyword research, you'll double your search results (max) from 5 results to .

    Then leave a at the end of your search (arrow in screenshot below).

      Nice one! I always use instant, but now I know why sometimes I get 5 sometimes I get 10 results!


      Can anyone help, I recall seeing a product that scrapes keywords from google instant, what is it, I cannot remember.

      Thanks

  • That's a good tip yukon. I find lots of great products/keywords doing that.
  • Thank you for such a lovely Tip.
  • you blew off the roof out of the WAR ROOM!

    That way too much for beginners and those who just wish to try their hands.
    A lot of thanks for the tips.
  • Yeah, it is good strategy. But usually on keywords like buy [...] etc. are a lot of websites/pages with high Pageranks and low searches per month (usually under 200/300 on ebooks etc.).

    • On the landing pages, I suggest you offer a similar product for free in exchange for an opt-in. This way, you can build targeted leads and still get purchases from the visitors.

  • Nice tip, if you can get into the mind of your potential consumer and know what it is they are thinking when they search for the particular product, then the sales will start to rise

    • Just so everyone knows, this is great information. I've been on this forum for a while just reading around. But this is the first thing I've read that I actually acted upon. Seeing incredible conversions at the moment targeting 8-12 "buyer" keywords in combination with articles
  • Excellent tip... To success in any market you should out of box...and you achieve it..

    This is good tip for people who are targeting 30 k , 40 k visitors yet they don't have any conversion rate..

    • Can I ask you guys using this technique, do you just use anchor text for this method, or do you go after an EMD?

      In the case of an exact product, like the cannon camera, this shouldn't really be done, trademark problems.

      Do you think a combination of an EMD with "best-Product Name" and using "buy" in anchor text, is the best way to go?

  • Hi Mark,

    I am quite new to this IM game. I use keyword tool a lot and you amaze me with google instant.

    This is an EXAMPLE.Okay, say you search buy procerin using exact google instant. Say google keyword tool show zero searches as exact. How do you check the searches with google instant. Sorry I ask because I want to be sure about this.

    Can you show a example? Pictures always easy to me. Really hope you can share for us? THanks a ZILLION.
