How to find Profitable keywords for a niche site
First let me explain what I mean with Profitable keywords and why it is so important to do research for your keywords. A keyword is the main topic of a website or article. It is the main thing you are writing about and the word you want people to find your website with when they search in Google or other search engines. The main keyword for this website for instance is how to make money online for beginners. A profitable keyword is a main keyword that has the potential to make money with. This is not just a matter on how much you will earn when someone would click your ads, it is about how many visitors are you able to attract to your website with that word and how much money could you make with it.
The most important thing to consider when you are researching new keywords is how much competition there is out there. You want to fight the small fish and not bother any sharks because then you will get eaten and don’t earn anything at all. So it is important to find a keyword that has the potential to make you money and does not has to much competition. The big question off course would be how are we going to do that?
Everybody has his or her own rules when it comes to doing research for keywords. This is not a solid scientific way but it works out for me so maybe it will also work for you. Generally there are 2 ways how you could find new keywords. The first has a cut off line when it comes to potential, you want to find as many keywords with the help of the Google keyword tool and all put them in an excel sheet. With many I truly mean many, try to get hundreds or thousands of keywords which you will analyze later on. After you did this, you will make use of the cut off line. All words that do not have a potential to make more than $50 a month go right to the garbage can. For the others we have to do some research how much competition they have. Do a search in Google for the word and see what comes up. There are some nice tools that will help you analyze how strong a website is. Try to target websites that have a pagerank of 3 and below. These are the ones you have a chance beating them if you do a lot of linking.
The second method is actually a lot a like the first one but there is no cutoff line. You will try to target profitable keywords that have almost no competition at all and only have a potential of some bucks a month. The good thing with the second method is that it is much easier to rank for these keywords. When you got some authority for the lower keywords you could eventually go for method 1 and only target the more profitable keywords.
This is not a matter of trying this out a few times, you need to know what works and what does not. Write some articles everyday and see what sticks. Try at least a few hundred (yes a few hundred) to get the hang of it. Again, squidoo, hubpages and infobarrel are excellent websites for trying out your keywords. When you know what you are doing you know the basic of making money online.
