Keyword Sniping Review
Courtney Tuttle wrote an amazing article that is probably one of the best articles I’ve read on the subject of internet marketing. In fact, at the time of this writing if you go to Google and search for “internet marketing”, his website comes up in the top 3.
This is huge for me when assigning credibility to methods of either making money online or promoting a website, etc. The fact that he comes up in the top 5 for such a saturated competitive keyword is a serious indication that the guy knows what he’s doing. So, I read more of what he has to say and I’m going to summarize some of that and offer a few additional tips for taking his content and expanding to the next level.
First of all, keyword sniping is about finding a keyword phrase that is getting a good amount of searches but has less competition. In most cases depending on which niche you’re going after, you can usually find great keyword phrases that have virtually no competition. This is especially true if you are promoting local or regional services with the name of the location in the keyword phrase.
Finding the keywords starts with keyword research tools. I personally use Google AdWords, not only the keyword suggestion tool, but the actual AdWords account to get an actual number of about how many searches are done because if you have an AdWords account, you can setup a campaign and Google will estimate clicks. These clicks that Google estimates are based on the pay-per-click model, so I usually assume a higher click through rate to get a more conservative estimate on how many searches per day on Google.
There are other free keyword suggestion tools besides Google. Another one is at Wordtracker and another one that I know of that uses Wordtracker data is at SEObook.com.
Once you have your keywords, you’ll design a website around this topic. Courtney mostly suggests using Wordpress which I agree with completely, but you may also be able to duplicate the same thing with Blogger.com for instance… or some other free blogging platform. At the time of this writing, the keyword “make money online” search brings back in the number 1 spot on Google a website that is hosted on blogger (blogspot.com). Considering how competitive that keyword is, and how the number 1 spot is a blogspot website, a top ranking CAN be had by a blogger site.
The same principles of getting ranked apply to just about any site. The key is relevancy. The more relevant the content is to your website and keyword, the better chance you’ll have of getting that site ranked. Article websites are probably one of the best methods of getting this related content and relevant content primarily because you are the one that controls the content of the page and the link text and everything else for instance.
You’re reading this article now on EzineArticles which is one of the best article sites there is for this exact reason. Also, you’ll notice once you start doing the keyword research that several articles from EzineArticles.com get ranked very well in the search engines.
Although Courtney says that duplicate content doesn’t matter (which I agree to an extent)… if you’re going for nothing more than one site in the top 10 or top spot for the search engine, your duplicate content won’t matter and you can use the article marketing tool that he suggests in his article. If you only really care about the incoming links as far as their ability to get your main website ranked, then duplicate articles are no problem. However, if you want to get one of your ezine articles ranked, it shouldn’t be a duplicate article.
Article marketing is a great way to get rankings and if you add article marketing to some social networking link building strategies, you’ll do really well with getting a top ranking in the search engines for one of these keyword phrases. If you want to test this out, pick a keyword phrase that gets 15 - 30 searches per day but has no competition and see how well you do in the search engines. Often times, when going for a more competitive keyword, it may take a few months to get a top ranking. Many internet marketers (myself included) don’t always have the patience to go for multiple months promoting the same thing so this is a critical step to getting rankings for those more competitive keywords.
