Keywords really are so very important!

OK, so I said I'd run through how I conduct my keyword research.

I have to admit I was a little late in taking this seriously, little wonder I had no success in the early days of my business.

Anyway, today I'll show you how to go about it if you've got a fair bit of money handy, tomorrow the more targetted and cheaper option.

Head on over to http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ think of a niche and type it in the search box.

Make sure you find a niche that fits anywhere in the range of 30,000 to 150,ooo searches per month. Anything more than that and your site won't start seeing profits until well over a year (probably two) later.

Now go over to Wordtracker and compile a keyword list of 1000-2000 words.

Then either get busy writing an article around each keyword, or ideally, pay someone to do it for you! I know that's a hell of a lot but there's no need to do them all at once.

Keywords are so important and having a large list means you'll be able to target untapped niches within your chosen niche as well as more competitive words.

Tomorrow I'll let you in on a cheaper way to get your site started fast...
