How Do I Run A Profitable Internet Marketing Blog?
This is Chris Stigson speaking. I’m a blogger who has spent many, many hours figuring out “blogging”. I’ve partially cracked the code and I’m literally sharing some of the basic secrets here with you. I’m doing a test as well as giving some knowledge for you today. Please read on, you’ll benefit.
You’ve probably heard that blogs are profitable means of making money online, and you are right, they are. It’s just that you need to do a few things differently in order to get the most out of your blog and internet marketing strategies for promoting it and to finally increase top search engine rankings.
If you want a traffic pulling blog you need more than just search engine rankings. See, there are tons of free traffic that can come from RSS syndication, bookmarking, social bookmarking and more. It’s SO, SO easy when you DO it. If you use tools like RSS submit your site can spread like wildfire across the net, and fast. You also want to “deep link” your blog posts. This means having more “page rank” and incoming links being passed to multiple PAGES on your SITE.
Now as for tips on running an internet marketing blog that relates soley towards internet marketing or affiliate marketing, eBay marketing or traffic, you need to choose a specific topic and “niche it”. This means find a topic within the general category “internet marketing”.
When you have got a niche within the “internet marketing niche” it’s easy to start generate some income. See, most people are targeting “make money” and “how to make money” and “make money online”, but this is NOT what you want to do. Instead head over to keyword research tools and find long tail keywords in the internet marketing niche.
Let’s say we are in the sub-niche “traffic generation”. After doing keyword research and finding your competition using “link:http://www.yourcompetition.com” in Yahoo for the top 10-20 results or using a research tool you’ll need to record all the data and find a sub-niche-long-tail-keyword. Let’s say it’s “increase search engine traffic”, which is a very legit word that I’ve researched before.
Now when you have a topic and a keyword it’s time to create a domain name that has similar or an exact name of the keyword. So “www.increase-search-engine-traffic.com” would be ideal for “increase search engine traffic”. You can go as far as doing “www.increasesearchenginetraffic.com”, but I like the dashes. For search engine rankings, I personally haven’t seen it matter.
It’s time to pump out massive amounts of content about your keyword. In this case we used “increase search engine traffic”, so let’s write about it in your blog! Sounds smart and simple? Well, it is… It’s also smart to collect another 10-20 or even 50 NEW keywords and create articles about these as well. Start posting them to various article directories like ezinearticles or goarticles for maximum exposure.
