The Thirty Day Challenge is in full swing.
Cait and I are a bit behind but, that is not a huge problem.
We are using a new Keyword Research tool that is wonderful (once you know how to use it). The problem is that Google decided to do a new project and cut off many of our stats results so, Cait and I were really a bit lost on how to read the charts.
"Damn you Google! Do not try to get between me and my Samurai!"
The chart shows you the competition for a keyword or phrase. Not the old fashion way of going through several tools to gather Searches per day, Adword clicks, Percent that bought, Competing site number, Once you have a phrase you can see the top 10 listings for the word (or phrase) with the Page Rank, Link Backs (page and domain), Yahoo and DMOZ listing, onsite optimization….
So, that is what Cait and I have had trouble understanding. What factors can be beat out by us to get our niche phrase into the top ten list.
Once you have found a phrase that you feel you can get to the top, you then need to find an affiliate program so you can sell a test item.
Build a free Wordpress blog and put it out there with the entire on page SEO and see how you rank! Once you start ranking you then will be able to see if the people coming to your site actually pull out their wallets and buy.
Cait and I have narrowed down the keyword phrases, now we are not using a Wordpress blog but are going to optimize a new blog on our current one just as practice.
Some people already have their new blog up and going. I just had a really hard learning curve with the research tool. That is another whole story about back linking that I can not get into. Why? Well, they have not really gotten into that much yet. As for me and Cait – “We ain’t afraid of no back linking!” . That’s not true some of those sites for our keyword phrases we looked up, had 100,000 + back links. I am good but, not that good!
Ok, I had better get to word Cait has her list ready for me to ‘approve’ and help get her signed up to an affiliate and get her pages built!
I will say the best part is even though we are days behind, what we are learning will be ours long after the Thirty Day Challenge.
Watch out, Cait and I are armed with The Samurai!!!!![]()
