Three Step Keyword Plan for Niche Blog Profits
Blogging Business Explodes with Quality Keyword Phrases
May 20, 2009
Creating a substantial income through business blogging is a popular online model for those who wish to work from home. Bloggers interested in more than recording day to day thoughts and events need to focus their energies toward a particular niche, the search keywords that are associated with it and monetization methods that make sense.
The most important consideration for niche blog profits is keyword choice and application. They determine if particular blog niche ideas are potentially profitable or not. A specific keyword list and plan will result in more organic search engine traffic and more effective traffic targeting. All steps in this three step keyword plan are vital for increased niche blog profits.
Business Blogs Need a Hot Keyword Domain Name
A successful blog needs its own domain name instead of a sub-domain such as those given by popular blog hosting sites. The domain name should consist of a hot keyword or keyword phrase that is easily remembered and searchable. But how can a hot keyword phrase be found, and what makes a keyword phrase "hot?"
Using a keyword research tool such as Google Adwords or Wordtracker, input a broad topic that pertains to interesting blog niche ideas. Find keyword results with at least 1,000 searches per month and make a list of them. Then, open up a major search engine such as Google, and type in the search keywords to see how many results there are. A hot keyword has less than 100,000 results in a search engine. Any niche-specific keyword within these parameters would make a quality blogging business domain name.
Find a Competitive Keywords List for Posts
The same research process can be used for the keyword phrases for the posts included in business blogs. This keyword list should coincide closely with the subject of the blog. Any phrase that has over 500 searches per month can make an effective post topic, though the competition from other sites in the search engines should be as low as possible. The higher the search numbers and the lower the competition, the more powerful the keyword phrase will be at driving traffic to a niche blog.
List at least forty associated keyword phrases. Each niche blog post should be targeted to a specific one and they should not be reused more than twice. Reusing keyword phrases in multiple blog posts results in the blog competing with itself for search engine placement.
Blogging Business Marketing with Keywords
Once a blog has at least a dozen quality, keyworded posts, and is monetized with advertising or products, it is time to begin marketing. Keyword phrases are necessary for bringing in targeted traffic. Not only does their presence in the domain name and blog posts insure organic search engine traffic, they should be used in article marketing and classified ad posting on the internet.
