Finding Keywords the will Explode Traffic

I'm number one! Yup, I'm number one for a bunch of keywords. I'll bet your site is too. For instance, I am number one for: Kevin Bidwell. Pretty cool, huh? The only problem is this-no one (except my mother) is searching for "Kevin Bidwell". At least, almost no one. (You probably just typed it in to see...) I'll bet your site might be number one for a bundle of keywords no one is searching for. No searches, no traffic. On the other hand, there are probably a ton of keywords loaded with traffic where you have NO listing. Here's how you can begin to change that... 1. Choose a Bunch of Keywords to target Let's say your selling dog supplies. So, an obvious keyword phrase would be "dog supplies". But there are also many other options: Dog supplies Dog grooming supplies You also have related terms: Puppy collars German shepherd supplies To choose the best keywords, I use this tool: 2. Look for moderate to high volume keywords You want to be in the top 10 on Google and the other search engines for highly used keyword phrases. So, taking your list, look for those having the highest numbers. Again, these numbers may not reflect the "true" searches, but they will give you a relative idea of the number of searches, one against the other. For example: "Cocker Spaniel" shows a rating of just under 40,000 while "Golden Retriever" got almost 80,000. You are likely to see twice as much traffic from being number 1 for "Golden Retriever" than you are from number 1 for "Cocker Spaniel". You want to choose the top traffic highly related keywords for your site. 3. Check out the Competition The next step is to see how competitive the top 10 positions are. A great tool to use for this is Prog. It's free, it's fast and it's all in one place. http://www.All-In-One-Business.com/cg-bin/at.cgi?a=274293&e=/pi
