What you think you know about keyword ranking is wrong
By 1ClickProfitSt | March 10th, 2010
Many people see the potential of the web to generate income on auto pilot . It always sounds so simple to do, but those people often (read: all the time) leave out one major factor. They do not tell anyone how many web sites they have in total to make those earnings, nor do they share how many people they outsource work through or actually work for them directly to make it happen. Think about this: people demonstrating methods that make them 30, or even 40k or more in a single month are not accomplishing that with only 1 or 2 web sites, writing a few articles each day, or placing a few ads. They often have hundreds of sites, and often have teams of people helping them.
Given that this is occurring, what are new marketers supposed to do, as everyone has to start somewhere. What needs to be done is to not have unrealistic expectations of earnings and make efficient use of your time. I will share with you a secret to get your site jump started with traffic and ranking for multiple keywords on autopilot. You can use social bookmarking, an article directory, forum and blog posting – whatever you are best at to build links to your site with this method
This can be started by using the Google keywords tool, or any other software tool of your choice Type in your main keyword and then find related keywords automatically. You want a list of about 200 or so keywords so you can sort through them by searches per month. Sort through these 200 and pick 4 or 5 top names with about 2000-5000 searches a month, then pick 10 keywords with 1000 or less searches, ideally with 4 words in the keyword (long tail). The regular method most people use is to pick high traffic keywords to build up in hopes you could really get a lot of traffic to your site. This is backward from the way it actually works. While high traffic keywords would be nice, they are often very hard to rank for and take a ton of time and effort. The real secret to big traffic is to completely ignore the high traffic keywords and work on the long tail ones exclusively. While it seems counter intuitive to do this, it will set your site up for big traffic. Targeting what might be considered sub optimal keywords are much easier to rank for as you should target a top 20 ranking in all of them. Once you have ranked all these, you should see some decent traffic numbers. This is exactly when you start in on the top keywords you had from earlier. It will be far, far easier to rank for them now, as Google will give your site more credence because of the other work you have done. Because you worked on the other keywords first, the amount of work required to rank for these other words is probably cut in half.
