Keyword Analysis Tool More Important Than You Think

It wasnt long ago I gave Google way more credit than they deserve

. I used to spend hours writing extremely valuable and factual content with a no fluff and no bull approach. I just figured as long as I chose a topic, did my research, and wrote a great article, Google would put the article where it belongs and give me some organic traffic. I took this approach for about 6 months writing literally hundreds of articles without using a keyword analysis tool. I waited patiently for traffic to come, but it never did.

I then spent months doing link building through article marketing, social networking, website directory submissions, forum posting, social bookmarking, and many other methods. Still, no real significant amounts of traffic ever came. I was lucky to get 10 unique visitors to any of my blogs and websites per day. I began to think that it was impossible to rank in Google.

So what was I doing wrong? I was writing tons of great articles, giving away incredibly valuable information, and getting thousands of back links. Well, Ill tell you exactly what I did wrong. I gave Google way more credit than they deserved and I was not using a keyword analysis tool. Google is a simple bot with a list of algorithms it follows, thats it. There is really nothing incredibly sophisticated about it.

How do I know this? I tested it on one simple little blog. Heres what I did. I purchased a brand new domain name. The domain name was only slightly related to the niche. In other words, the domain name was not that valuable and had less than ten total searches per month for the exact keywords that domain had. I then built a simple ten page blog on that domain over the course of about two days. Each post was written around a specific low competition keyword phrase found by using a keyword analysis tool. I added about ten to twelve tags to each post. The tags were related to the main keyword phrase and had slightly lower competition then the main keyword phrase. The tags were also found using the keyword analysis tool as well. I did absolutely no off page search engine optimization to this blog. I just let it sit there, thats it. After about one week the blog was fully indexed and receiving about 120 unique visitors per day. Needless to say I was in disbelief that it was that easy to get natural traffic. At the same time I wanted to slap myself for not trying this earlier. I had always heard people say do your keyword analysis, but I never really truly grasped what they meant until lately.

Heres the bottom line. Unless you have a high ranking blog or website that has thousands of highly valuable back links and a decent domain age, you are probably not going to rank for any high traffic keywords. If you have a fairly new domain and very few back links, consider yourself a bottom feeder. It sounds worse than it actually is. This just means youre going to have to do your keyword analysis before writing each article. I cannot stress this enough. Your keyword analysis is what will make or break you.

Manually doing your keyword analysis will take weeks and still leave some guess work involved. Purchasing a good keyword analysis tool will save you a lot of time and money. Any good keyword analysis tool will pay for itself in no time at all.
