It's hard to
believe it's been so long since last updating this blog. I've been
doing a lot of research and gathering information the last month,
working on SEO for my website for the search engines.
I added a few
pages to my site (was trying to beef up the content) and really
didn't get much response from the changes. These pages broke down the
sites categories into a smaller niche oriented page that offers other
products to help round out the main pages theme-a balance of mind
body and soul.
But I did
it...blindly I guess you can say. I really didn't have a strong
understanding of doing the proper keyword research knowledge, so the
content was out there, but not being picked up by the search engines.
That's when I
decided to buckle down and try to get a better understanding of
keyword research and effectively implement it in my website and
affiliate article marketing campaign. I've got a good bit of material
out there and if I can maximize its effectiveness, the payback could
be beneficial.
I think I have a
much better understanding how to use Google Adwords keyword tool and
have been having some good responses on the recent articles I've
published. Many times I would only get a few views a month when I
wrote an article without doing the keyword research. The last few
article I wrote and took the time to work on keywords have turned
those few views I used to get a month into getting them a day.
I was able to dig
up some phrases for my articles that were extremely low in
competition but felt they still had enough searches to warrant an
article. Goolge Adwords keyword tool reported some keyword searches
in the range of around 90-120. When I did a search for competition, I
only had a couple sites to compete with.
I've also worked
on SEO for my website. I used Google Adwords keyword tool to find
some phrases related to my page that had a higher search, but also
higher competition, thinking my website would have a better chance
with these more aggressive keywords.
The keywords used
for my website were much more ambitious, resulting around 30-40
thousand competitors, but also had a relative increase in searches to
justify it. I'm going for a broader audience with my website because
I don't want to put all my resources into only 90 searches a month
for that page.
I'm going to use
these keywords for my site at let them run for about a month, then
see what I should do from there. I've seen an increase in traffic
since using these new keywords, but there's always going to room for
improvement. I figured a month could give me a pretty consistent idea
for now.
