Many internet marketers start their marketing campaigns by choosing a niche that they want to focus on, and then they jump straight into various ways of promote their site. Some of these ways include creating a blog and writing posts about their niche, writing articles and posting them to article directories, or using paid methods like pay per click (PPC) to drive traffic to their website. While these are tested and proven traffic generation techniques, some new marketers may miss a very important component of online marketing – learning how to use keywords in websites. Many do not realize that if you know how to pick keywords for your website, half the battle is won.

To effectively write an article or a post for traffic generation, you need to understand how to pick keywords for your website. To do so, you will need to understand how users go about finding information in search engines like google. Users are always looking for something in google. They can be looking to buy something, or simply to look for information about a topic. Whatever the case, they have to use a search engine to look for what they want. This ‘what they want’ is called keywords. Let me show you an example.

Suppose you have selected your niche to be about cat training. The possible keywords here would be ‘cat training’. However, do a search on google and you will realize that this keyword is highly competitive. In fact, as of now, google returns a total of 45,100,000 results. Now how can you compete with so many competitors? So to reduce the number of competition, you will need to know how to pick keywords for your website. Perhaps you have a passion for siamsese cat. So, you may then want to refine your keywords to “siamese cat training”. This again returns a search result of 105,000 results, a much more narrowed scope of competition. Still, it is pretty competitive. So you need to find ways to narrow your keywords even further, and make it longtail. A longtail keyword is keywords with more than two words. The longer your keyword tail, the more focused your keywords are.

A very good tool to help you find keywords for a website is the Google Keyword Tool.

This tool is free to use and allows you to know how to pick keywords for your website to find niches with high search volume and low competition. Once you how to find keywords for a website, you can basically apply the same rule for any website that you build, any article that you write, or any post that you blog. You may even use the same principle for your PPC campaigns.

Knowing how to pick keywords for your website is a very important initial stage of Internet Marketing. If you can do it right from the start, you can reap benefits that will be long term. Of course, knowing how to use keywords in your website is also crucial, as you do not want the search engines to see you as spam. This is where Wealthy Affiliate University comes in.

It’s been a while since I updated this blog. I’ve been busy with another site that focuses on sharing information about how to make money on the Internet. Been learning quite a fair bit these few weeks and I hope that what I learned can be put into good use.

Meanwhile, there are some challenges that I face in my Internet Marketing journey. The great thing about them are they let me learn and allows me to stay focused, very focused. Strategies were implemented, and changed. In fact, they are continuously changing.

I know I will see results soon…

Nevertheless, . . . → Read More: Internet Marketing – My Updates]]>

Recently I saw an update on facebook by one of my contacts. He has spent 4 hours to create his opt-in page, web form and autoresponder messages. I am ashamed that I am not as committed as him although I understand fully what I have to do for my internet marketing strategy.

Nevertheless, I have begun my first strategy for affiliate marketing. I hope that very soon, I can see results from it. And I know that this is a testing phase for me and results are not guaranteed. Still, if I do not take action, and maybe fail from it, I will never know if it can work. If it does, it will certainly motivate me to move on. And if it doesn’t, I know that I have to change my strategy.

Wish me luck!

Attended Day Two of the SMART seminar on Saturday.

Basically, I was looking forward to speaker Mr. Fabian Lim’s presentation because he is a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) expert in Singapore.

 And he truly delivered value in his speech because to me, he was brutally honest. His presentation did not sound like a sales speech to me and I was impressed by his honesty about making money online.

 I did not attend Day Three as I have other commitments and I have obtained enough information from the seminar to continue my internet marketing journey.

I chanced upon this site workfromhomecourse.blogspot.com and I must say it provides some useful tips and insights about internet marketing.

Although I may not have the time to read the entire blog, I am going to find time to do it and to learn all I can and to put them to good use.

The reason I post it here is to share useful information from this blog so that it can benefit you.

Finally finished the book Secrets of Self-Made Internet Millionaires by Stuart Tan.

Took me a while to pick up this book again. My wife bought this book for me about a year back and after going through a couple of chapters, I left it on the shelf before I picked it up again last week.

Why did I stop reading? Well, it’s not that the book is not good. In fact, the Secrets of Self-Made Internet Millionaires is packed with a lot of information for any internet marketer, regardless of whether you are new or experienced.

Maybe that was the reason I stopped. You see, I bought the book when I was just beginning to take an interest in internet marketing. Being the way I was (before attending POE), after reading a few chapters, I told myself that the internet marketing world has too many things to concentrate on. There’s simply too much information!

So I procrastinated, and procrastinated, and thoughts of failure started flowing into my mind. “I don’t have the time”, “There’s too much to learn”, “I won’t be able to cope”, “I still have a job”.

In the end, I gave up. I put the book back on the shelf and just left it there.

Nevertheless, I believe I’m back on track after attending Patterns of Excellence and so I picked up the book and continued from where I left off.

And I am so glad I completed it. Still a newbie to internet marketing (I did not take any action due to procrastination), I have now gained much from reading the book. It is true that there is still a lot for me to learn and I know it’s going to take a lot of hard work. The good thing is, I have now returned stronger and am willing to take action.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone starting out to be an internet marketer. Even though the book is published in 2007, there is still a lot of information that is used today. You cannot find this book at Amazon though.

Have been busy attending the PPC Classroom (Singapore) from 14th – 16th August 2009.

There were a number of speakers sharing their success stories and at the same time, selling their training packages or softwares.

Some of the internet marketing experts include Dr. Mike Woo-Min, Ewen Chia, Simon Leung, Andy Huang David Dinucci, and Nikhil Parekh.

They share valuable experience and tips with the audience especially for someone new to internet marketing. However, some of the more experienced internet marketers begin to view the presentations as sales tactics as at the end of the presentation, they also share their coaching program or software.

Honestly, I too was having second doubts about going back on the last day. But I thought about it and asked myself if I cannot even commit to finish the three days, then what success am I talking about? So in the end, I went down and was glad as I picked up a few more tips on internet marketing. Maybe they’re not important to the experienced but to someone like me, I’ve indeed learned a fair bit from this workshop.
