Guaranteed Internet Success-Finding a Niche
The old Nike slogan. Yes this is way too old hat but “Just Do It.”
There are two keys to Internet success.
Build pages and build links.
Then…
Build more pages and build more links.
Once you have over 1000 links and 100 pages built you will start to get some traffic. Magic isn’t necessary, it just takes work. To become a journeyman you need to walk first. To become a master you need to learn the basics.
Picking your Niche
Find a niche you want to work on. Remember this does not need to be the do all and end all niche. You are an apprentice. You will make a lot of mistakes but in time the good decisions you make will overcome your mistakes.
There are a lot of ways to pick your keywords and your niches. You can spend months figuring out the exact mix and match. Don’t do it.
Use the Google Keyword tool
Put in a general word. It will spit out a bunch of keywords with your word in it. Now go to the “columns to display” and add “Estimated Avg CPC.” I will only work on keywords that are over $1.00. I will normally only take on keywords that have over 3000 searches per month. Make a list of 20 of these keywords from 3000 to 20,000 searches per month.
Now put these keywords into a basic Google search one at a time. Look at the results. Here is where you need to be using SEO for Firefox. Download and install SEO for Firefox now, this is the most informative plugin you will find. I have directions on this SEO for Firefox page.
I only show the Google PR, Y! links, Y! page links, Alexa. I hide all the rest so it doesn’t take long for my search pages to load.
If there are a couple of pages in the top 10 that have less than 20 Yahoo Page links then this keyword is a go for me. If there are a couple of pages in the top 5 that is even better.
Your site does not need to be the prettiest thing you have ever built. Grab a WordPress Theme and learn to use it. We are here to learn, then teach.
Build pages and build links.
Build links directly to the individual pages in your site not just the home page.
It will be a while before you get much traffic. Don’t sweat it. Keep working at it and the more links and the more pages eventually you will get your traffic. The secret to Guaranteed Internet Success is quite simple. Build pages on keywords and build Links.
