Free Traffic Tips

I’m not on it, but then I only talk about one search engine, once a week. Though as you can see below, that may change.

You may as well visit them today, I think I stayed up too long.

Here’s a quote:

“One aspect of keeping up an updated Search Engine News site is the constant monitoring of RSS feeds, news stories, group emails, and, of course, blogs. Tonight I was skimming over Aaron Wall’s (a frequent contributor to Search Engine Journal) blog, SEOBook.com.

Aaron recently updated his working list of Search Engine Blogs and I thought it that publishing the list on Search Engine Journal would be a great tribute to Aaron’s hard work, and the hard work of all of the bloggers out there who are spreading the ever-changing news of the search engine industry.”

In this mini-cast:

• Why I previously changed the site around to lose my top rankings for “free traffic” – and why I changed my site back to re-cover first page listing for the hard-to-acquire term in both Google and Yahoo.

• A tip you can use with your site to duplicate some of my results – no one is using this. Get the top spot for your desired keyword for yourself using this tip and the one below.

  ( It’s something I’ve said before, but this tells you a little bit more about why you should use it.)

Okay, time for the home stretch.

You can forget about the group thing, we’re done with that. We’re all going to do the same steps together.

For this step, you either need to

1- take a free trial of Wordtracker, or

2- go to Nichebot or another Keyword Suggestion Tool.

Once you’ve logged in to your chosen keyword suggestion tool, we’re going to drill down into less competitive terms to focus on. Then I’ll tell you my suggested process for using the tool, and what you’ll need to read to make sure you get in Google, stay in for that term, and then leverage yourself into the best position to take a crack at ranking for harder terms that will get you more traffic.

Okay. Now we discussed earlier why you need to forget about the highest traffic terms for now.

Ready? Let’s find you a better keyword. The exercises are slightly different for each group.

Group One Exercises

If you were in group one, the group that had the same theme as the word you want to rank for, go to your browser, load up Google, and search for your site. If you’re coming up with the keyword you wanted on the first page, and you’re happy with the traffic you’re getting from search engines, what are you doing here? Go count your money!

Seriously. If you’re getting the traffic, you have the right product for the market that is searching for that keyword, and you’re making good conversions to sales, then honestly, you don’t need to do this exercise.

If you are getting the traffic but not making sales, go back to the research on your product, and have somone evaluate your site. You’re losing visitors between your product/service and your sales page or site design. They either can’t find what you sell or don’t want it.

The following is an excerpt from The Google Blog connection.

As I was writing this post, deciding on the best way to impart to you the sensible do-it-yourself methods of choosing the right keywords for your site, I realized, I had already written it.

Enjoy!

Forget about targeting for some highly competitive keyword that gets 10,000 visitors a day.

Right now.

You’ll be lucky if you rank in the top 100, and when you do, you’ll still get barely any traffic from it. If you have your heart set on that term, save up until you have $1500, and either buy the number of visitors you need from that listing, or pay a search engine optimization expert to do it for you.
