Driving Quality Traffic to Your Website Using Keywords Search

Using keywords search to drive quality traffic to your website has become one of the most important things you can do as an affiliate marketer. Although it takes a lot of time in research and testing, the time you spend to do it right will more than pay for itself.

The purpose of keywords search is to find the most popular keywords people will use when they are searching on the internet for a product, service, website or any other things they want to find. As a website owner, I want to find these important keywords people are using so that I can draw quality traffic to my website. This is called search engine optimization or SEO for short.

Search engine optimization is the process of driving as much quality traffic to a website from a search engine’s organic (natural) search, using relevant keywords.   The higher the ranking in the organic results with a search engine, the more traffic you should have to your site.

You must learn the demographics of your target market. Commonly used demographics that an affiliate marketer may look at include: area of the country their customers are from, their occupation, age, sex, income level, education level, etc. You want to get into their heads and try to think how they would enter a search for your product or service.

For example; you are selling snow shovels on your website. You wouldn’t have much trouble selling someone a snow shovel in New Hampshire, but who in South Florida wants to buy a snow shovel. Well, what about a construction company that is cleaning construction debris off the floor, or a landscaper shoveling mulch out of the back of the truck. You need to know your market, how your product can be used and you need to determine the relevant keywords to draw customers to your site.

As mentioned above a keywords search can be time consuming, but with some practice you can easily master it. There are many tools to help you find relevant keywords, some are free and some you pay for. These include tools; such as, keyword research tools, keyword suggestion tools, keyword density analysis tools and keyword valuation tools, just to name a few.

To conduct a keywords research for the right keywords, you need to know the demographics of your target group as mentioned above. You must also know the specific industry terms used for product searches. Broad words will bring about huge competition. We are looking for less competition, but high quality leads. Using long tail keywords will help tremendously. For example, if I were selling a weight loss product and I use weight loss as a relevant keyword; I would have competition from 11,100,000 other people on the global monthly searches. Here’s what happens when I change the keyword:

Weight loss                 11,100,000   Searches

Healthy weight loss           90,500   Searches

Weight loss Help               40,500   Searches

Safe weight loss                 27,100  Searches

The number of searches is going down, but now we are down to more qualified searches. What if we tried: “fastest way to lose weight”  we would have 65,000 searches, still a lot of competition, but it is closer to where I would want to be. You see the long tail keyword, “fastest way to lose weight”, will drive high quality traffic to your website as compared to the broad keyword “weight loss”.

Keyword research is very important for search engine optimization and should never be ignored. The right set of relevant keywords can make a huge difference in your website’s traffic and sales.

Should I Build a Blog or a Website … Which is Better for Promoting My Affiliate Products?

Which is the best way of advertising and promoting my products on the web? Should I build a blog or should I build a website. This is a question I hear a lot from people. So I decided to write some thought about the two and first define what a blog is and compare it to a website.

It is very important to realize that a blog (or a web log) is a type of website. The difference is that blogging is a dynamic choice for someone who has something to sell or say over the internet. The entries can be commentary or news about events that interest the visitors to the blog and the readers have the ability to leave comments to the posts, making it an interactive dialogue for all.

A website is like a blog, except that it is static; it is not dynamic like a blog. A website  is where you actually describe and can show your products and/or services. You can update a website as often as you like, but this is usually only done if you change your products. People can’t just type in comments for everyone to see. Also with a website there are no posts to update. The nice thing with the new blog software out now, it can be very difficult to tell whether it is a blog or a website.

 A huge advantage of a blog is that blogs allows you to post written text, audio and video and have it online within minutes. Unlike traditional static websites which can take hours to update and cost a lot of money if you’re not familiar with building or editing web sites. 

The biggest advantage of having a blog, to me, is that you get the site up quick. You write your first post hit publish and you are ready for business online.

A blog is far easier to optimizing for the search engines. Ever time you write a new post (new content) on your blog, you do something called “pinging”. You are notifying the search engines that you have new content on your site. The search engines will visit your site and index your site more often than a static website. It is much cheaper to set up a blog and maintain the site than it is for a static website.

Bloggers also tend to build credibility faster than someone running a static website. The blogger is constantly posting and adding new content. The blogger is actually building a relationship with the readers, where the readers have the ability to comment back.

When you want to make a post on your blog, you enter your back office type your post and it is sent out instantly. With a static website, you have to open up your editor, write the article, update the page properties before uploading that page to your site using FTP software. After all that, you have to wait for the search engines to visit your site to get it indexed again.

There are many reasons that I could still add to the argument for a blog, but I hope I’ve shown you how versatile the blog can be compared to a static website. Don’t get me wrong, websites are important. I think the best way would be to have a blog where you can post and a website that has your products. You could send people from your blog to your website or send them from your website to your blog, by linking them.
