Ok folks one more blog about keywords then you should have enough info to go it alone lol.

Finding keywords to bring good traffic to your site(s) is not as hard as you would think. All you have to do is to get rid of the mindset that any old keyword combination will do. It most certainly will not because a keyword research strategy that focuses on customer mindset is guaranteed to get you more traffic.

Fit Your Campaign Around The Keywords, Not The Other Way Around

The process for newbie website builders is nearly always something like this:

Pick a broad niche
Plug in the niche keyword
Grab the keyword results that are most similar
Create basic content around these keywords

Without exception this leads to failure and a lot of them give up. I wonder why that is?

The problem is that too many newbie marketers only look for keywords that seem to fit their idea of their niche, instead of what their target audience is actually searching for. Keywords that seem unrelated or don’t make much sense to you are very important to the topic for many of your potential customers. Therefore no keyword idea should ever be thrown out unless it’s completely unrelated to your niche.

You are all here at wealthy affiliate to make money therefore it follows that you need to be in the business of serving the customer's needs. Let the keywords that they search for be your guide to building your campaign. Don't try to fit the customer into your box.

You Must Think Outside The Box

In fact, you should throw away the box you’ve been trying to cram your customers into altogether.

Boxes are bad news in the world of SEO. If you are relying solely on a keyword tool to come up with keyword ideas, then you could hamper your business to the point where it could very well fail.

To find the best, most relevant words for your market you need to make a point of thinking like your customers thinks. This means creating a character which will be the basic version of the person that you are trying to sell to.

Think of the products and services that you are selling and work backward to figure out how the customer would arrive at your solution. And don’t forget the mobile searchers and the voice search ones as well because Long-Tail Keywords are here to stay for a very long time. These keywords WILL boost your chances of earning good money from the internet whereas the old style will maybe give you a few bucks if you’re lucky.

There you have it folks and take these tips and advice onboard or you are going to fail miserably at internet marketing.

You can leave a comment below if you haven’t already dashed off to do some keyword research, and I will reply as I always do.

Have a great day/evening.
