subject: Proper Keyword Research Equals More Money [print this page] When it comes to making money through affiliate marketing it comes down to proper keyword research in determining how successful your campaigns are going to be. With the proper selection of keywords and the right phrases your campaigns will stand a chance against the big boys and hopefully reach the front page of Google where the real money is at. A mistake made by most newbies is that they go after keywords in which they have no chance of being able to compete from the very start. During this particular article I am going to explore the power of keyword research and what you can do to drastically improve your odds and start making money.
Lets look at the weight loss industry that has everyone trying to find the keywords that is going to send a ton of customers wanting to spend money in this niche. Now most people make the mistake of going after the most obvious such as "how to lose weight" or "lose x pounds in x days" now once upon a time this had the potential in bringing in the money but the problem is that day was a few years ago. Now you are competing against thousands of other marketers going after the same keyword.
So what would happen if you brought that weight loss niche down to the micro niche level. Sure you will not see thousands of visitors per day but you will see is people coming over to your add looking to spend money and with the power of keyword research you can be on the front page of google as the competition level is basically nonexistent. Competing against a hundred people is a lot more attractive than competing against a million.
People for whatever the reason are creatures of habit so they think they need to create a hundred of articles on the exact same topic to hit the front page of Google but this has not been true in quite sometime. Now Google looks for that specific topic that the user is looking for and with more and more people becoming search engine savvy the keywords they are now looking for are a lot more defined than in the past. If you wanted to lose weight and wanted to use the latest miracle supplement chances are your search engine inquiry would be along these lines "Lose weight with the miracle supplement". If you had a hundred articles talking about weight loss in the general sense and I had a couple of simple websites with the exact keyword phrase who do you think is going to make the most money? It will be me as I am getting the targeted customers.
It all comes down to the power of keyword research and for people like me who have no patience it comes down to having the right tool which will find me the niche markets and more importantly the high paying keywords that are out there with limited competition. I have used Micro Niche Finder for sometime and it does absolutely everything that I could ask for and a lot more. Laser targeted keywords that I can create articles and single page websites around and just wait for the Clickbank check to come in. If you want to make money through affiliate marketing than you need a top notch keyword research tool and in my eyes nothing beats Micro Niche Finder.
