Most gurus will teach you that the most important factor in bring targeted traffic to you site is by searching engine optimization (SEO). One key component of SEO techniques is to identify a niche keyword. The keyword must have high demand, high ppc and high advertiser competition.
Finding the profitable niche keywords
The most common methods of finding that keyword are using the free Google Adword Tool and Wordtracker.
Most gurus would not hold your hand and work with you step by step to help you to get that keyword. They would just teach you the techniques of finding profitable niche keywords, Knowing the techniques of finding profitable niche keywords do not guarantee that you will find one easily. Many newbies are unable to get through this step and ended up giving up. They are not to blame as even veteran bloggers face problems with this step.
Newbies Dilemma
If you are a newbie, getting that important profitable niche keyword could be a massive task and nightmare. You could run through thousands of keywords and may end with a few or none at all.
I have been through that stage before. I have managed to get a few niche keywords and start blogs. But those niche keywords are not generating enough targeted traffic give me a reasonable income. I am not implying that niche keywords do not bring in income. I do believe that it does as proven by many successful internet entrepreneurs. I am trying to say that this task is not easy at all.
I have created a personal blog with twcl99 as the domain name. There is no demand, ppc and advertiser competition for this keyword. However I managed to bring in more than 10,000 untargeted unique visitors a month to this blog. Initially I thought that I was lucky and it could just be a flash in a pan incidence. But I am surprised that the untargeted visitor traffic continues to flood in and it has been going on for the last three months. Here is the proof:
How did I do it?
Well as expected my personal blog did not generate much traffic when I started. I did many researches and observations on other high visitor traffic sites. I realized that most of those high visitor traffic sites have one very common trait. All of them have at least 200 pages indexed by the Google.
1. Get More Than 200 Indexed Pages
Could this be a key to getting visitor traffic? So I embarked on a mission to post many contents into my blog in order to achieve more than 200 indexed pages.
2. Finding Contents To Post
Having setting up that goal number 1 (above), I started to look for contents to post. As an individual how am I going to get that volume of content? I observed other sites and I realized that you could talk about daily happening and news or anything that are legal and post to your blog. The contents maybe not necessary be a long one. Even a short content will do.
3. Contents That People Searched For
I started posted many contents to my blog. At one time, I was posting about 3 to 4 contents a day to my blog. I could see my traffic volume gradually built up and finally double up. Well that went on and stayed at a constant traffic number a day. Then I analyzed the whole matter and decided that the contents that I post must be those that many people search for.
I started picking up articles and news from Google Trend, Google News and Yahoo Buzz for ideas on my contents. I read the articles or news to find out the details. I offered my comments and write new contents about the articles or news.
I pick up some keyword ideas from the articles or news for my new contents.
After a few weeks, my untargeted visitor traffic doubled, tripled and finally reached more than 10,000 a month. Below is a screen shot of my Awstat on 12-Sep-09.
The above method of getting untargeted visitor traffic is entirely mine. Some gurus or experts may not agree to what I wrote above. I am not trying to outsmart them in anyway but rather offer an alternative to people who need help. In my opinion, I think untargeted visitor traffic is also valuable. I believe because of the increased visitor traffic, my blog got Page Ranked (PR) 4 by Google after 4 months from creation date.
I believe every individual has his/her own uniqueness. You cannot be successful by coping what other people has done. You got to develop your own unique ways of making money online. Of course in order to do that, you need to acquire some basic knowledge of search engine optimization (seo) techniques and search engine marketing (sem) skills. If you have limited or no knowledge of these skills, you may have no other alternative than to go for good training course.
