This is a proven model that I use everyday. This is essentially a simplified publishing business that you are building.

Thanks,

thanks

I like allintitle: over double quotes because allintitle returns only webpages where the title tag contains that keyword phrase.

It gives me a more accurate measure of competition - webmasters who put the keyword in the title tags most likely are going after that keyword - it’s also the most basic on-page search engine optimization.

Amazon, eBay (and many other merchants) have affiliate programs. Just Google “{merchant name} affiliate program” and you should be able to find them. Or try to find the link directly from their websites.

Terry,

Thanks, I enjoy sharing my experience :). Sorry, I don’t mean to say build one page per site. You could have many pages for one site, but when you try to get backlinks, don’t always link to your domain, try linking back to some of the inner pages as well.

In other words, you could have multiple top 10 rankings in the search engines for your main page, and for each of your webpage in your site.

Hope that clears it up,
Steve

Thanks!

Here is what I do for keyword research. I look around the house, or think of a topic in my mind, then I type that word in Wordtracker tool.

Then I go down the list of keywords that it came up with and click on the rightmost icon which will pop up a competition/Google trend estimate for that keyword. You can use the < 30,000 competition and > 100 searches/day guideline it gives you as a starting point.

So, if you want to follow along, I’m looking around right now and I see computer speakers in front of me. I type “computer speakers” in the keyword research tool, and it came back with this list (partial):

1,328 searches (top 100 only)
Searches Keyword G
1,328 total searches
418 computer speakers
73 wireless computer speakers
70 best computer speakers
43 bose computer speakers
31 speaker computer
20 computer speaker reviews
18 computer speaker
17 klipsch computer speakers
15 logitech computer speakers

Start going down the list and click on the icon in the “G” colulmn. You will see that “computer speakers” gets searched over 3,000 times a day, but it also has over 3,000,000 webpages that are targeting that keyword! So it’s very competitive.

Let’s try another one. How about “wireless computer speakers” Nice! This is a good “low hanging fruit” keyword with over 130 searches per day, and 17,000 webpage results.

The next keyword is also good, “best computer speakers”

I would actually like someone to actually go out and register a domain for those keywords, and either monetize it with Google Adsense, Amazon, or eBay auctions, and see how it goes.

More to come later…

Keep going on.
