Easy SEO Keyword Strategy For Your Home Internet Business Blog

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Searching for good keywords and using them on your legitimate home internet business blog or website is important not just for page ranking but more targeted web hits. Although one can hire the best SEO consultants to provide you a list of valuable keywords, their services usually cost an arm and a leg. Besides, anyone who is serious about his home internet business ought to learn a little about SEO and you can easily use the SEO techniques I am discussing in this post.

What is a Good Keyword

Before trying to find your keyword to be used on your work at home internet business blog or website, you should first analyze this word’s overall popularity in Google. If nobody uses that keyword or phrase, it would be useless to include it in your content post since no one is searching for this specific keyword in Google or Yahoo.

On the other hand if you used a common keyword which is very popular with Google this may give you lots of web hits but they may not be specific enough to describe what your article content is about. A good keyword is therefore one which can provide the best description of your product, service or a solution which you are writing about. It is often better to use keyword phrases to effectively convey how good your product is.

Keyword Phrase and Relevance

It is recommended to use keyword phrases as much as possible especially in your post title instead of one single keyword. This is because single keyword by itself is very common and too popular for any high ranking to be achieved. Try to invest some time to find the perfect combination of such keyword phrases which are relevant to the context of your website or blog and to the topic you are now writing.

The more relevant your keyword phrase is the better it is to target the right web visitor to your legitimate home internet business blog or website and ultimately your products you are promoting. To give you an idea about relevance is an advertisement ‘Car Repair’ compared to ‘Car Repair Chicago’ The first keyword phrase may give the idea of car repair “how to” knowledge whereas the second keyword phrase most probably means someone is looking to repair his car in Chicago.

Word Order in Keyword Phrase

It is important to take note that for some keyword phrases, the order you choose to put them may have different interpretation that affects the traffic you ultimately received at your work at home internet business website or blog. Taking an example for the phrase ‘Car Unlock’ in which a company is promoting a device to unlock cars. It has been found that about 20 times more traffic is generated with the keyword phrase ‘Unlock Car’ than it is with the phrase ‘Car Unlock’. You can use Google traffic simulator to determine a more accurate prediction. Similarly ‘Hilton Paris’ and ‘Paris Hilton’ produces interesting and different search term results too.

Best Ways To Find Your Perfect Keyword Phrase

The best tip I can give you is ‘think like a searcher’ You need to ask yourself how you would find your legitimate home internet business site if you had to look for it yourself on Google or Yahoo! What would be a perfect description of your product or service you promote? It should be a phrase that is frequently used by the common man and appeals to him too.

Since you are targeting many different countries, you also need to think globally, which means you have to consider what a person in US or England might enter to search for your service. It may be useful to write down other relevant keywords perhaps with weighted popularity. Finally examine these words and figure out a two to three word combination that sounds like what you as a surfer would enter into Google’s search engine.

Using keyword phrases is a great strategy for a high page ranking and traffic building. However not every search term is going to be a winner for you. You have to test, improve and test some more until you succeed. It’s always better to get 500 visitors to your website or blog that converts 10% into customers, than to get 5000 visitors who click away immediately. It may take you some time to accomplish it but these SEO techniques will for sure lead you to home internet business success.

Ewen Chia’s Working From Home Business

Has anyone heard of Ewen Chia? Or should I rephrase the question “Has anyone not heard of Ewen Chia?” He was the first person to introduce me to work at home business in one of his seminars a long time ago. Other than we both lived in Singapore and are both crazy about our respective legitimate home internet business, unfortunately the similarity ends there.

He is now a very well known and respected man in the internet marketing circle. If you do a search in Google for the name “Ewen Chia” you would get about 160,000 results giving you everything you may find about this man and how this super affiliate has practically perfected the art of internet marketing and that he is going to teach you how to make money now.

For just over $10!

Ewen guarantees that you will make money online in 30 days or he will refund your money back 100%. Such cockiness, such audacity, such brilliance. I’m not sure if Ewen has lost his head from too much money making businesses even before his latest product launch.

Seriously, for $10 you really owe it to yourself and your legitimate home internet business to check it out and get yourself this guide, study it front to back and then put it into action. It’s not often that you get such a ridiculous offer. If you don’t take up this offer, you would go away thinking “what if”. If you are a serious internet marketer, there would be no second thoughts. If you are a newbie, it may just be what you are looking for. It could be the turning point in your online business.

Go get it now…

PS…Make sure you check out the 3 bonuses that Ewen is giving away for a very limited time. I really can’t believe he is giving this all for just $10. I hope his madness isn’t contagious since we lived in the same city.

So what do you think of Ewen Chia’s latest Instant Income treat? Did you get it and how did you find it? Did you get value for your money spent? Share your thoughts with us and what people may expect to get out of it

Create Promotional Videos For Your Home Business Using Photos in 7-Minutes

Have you ever felt that sometimes you needed a new home business idea to promote your work at home business? With such keen competition around you, do you often feel that everyone else seems to be using the same approach you are adopting to reach out to potential customers for your legitimate home internet business product or online business opportunity? I’ve come to realize it’s not so important in how unique your product or your best home business idea is but rather the way you’ve packaged it and promoted it to the hungry crowd. Introducing promotional videos by Animoto.

Animoto is a web application that automatically generates videos using the New York based Animoto Productions company’s Cinematic Artificial Intelligence technology that “analyzes and combines user-selected images and music with the same sophisticated post-production skills & techniques that are used in television and film”. It may well be a whole new experience both for you as a small home business owner and your customer or client depending on what type of work at home business you are associated with. The good thing about promoting these videos is that it’s inexpensive. But is it difficult to produce one for your home business site?

This application takes images that you have on your computer, adds a soundtrack (either yours or theirs) and renders or finalizes it together in a funky video format. You really don’t need moving images as it will create the movement from static images for you. And as most small business owners love, it is a free application (for videos of up to 30 seconds).

You may already know that Google bought the much loved giant video-sharing YouTube at a tune of $1.65 billion in October 2006 so personally I think it does send a very strong message about the popularity and importance of videos to all of us. Many legitimate home internet businesses are using YouTube and social networking to jump on the band wagon in getting more traffic to their work a home businesses. Animoto has partnered with Google and so any Animoto video can be exported directly to YouTube. In essence, this means that with this integration anyone with photos can contribute professional-looking video content to the YouTube world. You don’t need a video camera or editing software to be part of this action.

To give you a better perspective as to how easy it is to produce a 30-second Animoto video, let me just share this with you. I used 15 photos of My SFI Home Business I had stashed away in my computer hard disk. Once I have registered at Animoto which takes me just a minute, I am prompted to select these photos from my computer. Next I am shown a selection of the accompanying music for my video. Lastly it then creates the video for me or “renders” it. It took me just 7 minutes to finish my first promotional video for my top rated home business. While I won’t lie that I could have produced a better quality video if I had given myself more time to create one, it just goes to prove how easy it is to produce one not to mention having much fun doing it too. Here is the result of my very first attempt. It probably won’t land me in Cannes, but it’s good enough for promoting my work at home business.

Here it is.
My very first Animoto video for you to enjoy.

What’s your opinion?
So what do you think. Did you find producing your very first Animoto video was easy? Perhaps it now deserves to be seen by more than just your friends and family. Why not export it to YouTube? With 2.5 billion video streams and over 66 million unique viewers a month, you ought to have a pretty decent shot at getting seen by a few more people, don’t you agree?

Squidoo Secrets Revealed: Drive Unstoppable Traffic To Your Home Business

Would you like to learn how you can use Squidoo to generate non-stop traffic to your legitimate home internet business? Squidoo is considered a social networking site, however from an internet marketing perspective, it is vastly different from other social bookmarking sites. Why are so many work at home business entrepreneurs raving about this unique leading web 2.0 property?

One key difference is that Squidoo lets you sell blatantly without worrying about someone shutting you down like MySpace and a few other sites. Another unique feature of Squidoo lies in the fact that it is a social networking site for adults so if you like flashing graphics that you find in MySpace, you won’t find them here for sure. It’s a great place for grown up internet home business owners to interact and we like it this way.

Squidoo lets you create what’s called a lens, which is essentially an information portal about any topic you want. Here’s an example that I created very recently about a top rated affiliate marketing. Squidoo allows you to sign up and create as many lenses and categories as you want. You can very easily use these lenses to drive targeted traffic to your home business sites.

Once you have created your lenses and specifically targeted to your home business niche, you then start the socializing with like minded marketers on this social networking site.

The secret to succeeding in using Squidoo is to provide good and helpful information to people in your niche who are hungry for this information. The use of a good landing page can be used effectively to drive targeted traffic to your home business opportunity. If you are already a respectable internet marketer, people will be more willing to buy an affiliate product based on your recommendation.

How To Generate Traffic Using a Squidoo Lens

1. It is vitally important to put your main targeted keyword in your lens title.
This is because lenses are pages and they can therefore rank in the search engines like your legitimate home internet business home page.

2.Choose a URL for lens with your primary keyword. Do remember this as it will help your search engine rankings too, because that URL is what you’ll link to from other places.

3.“Tag” your lens with other long tail keywords. Look for the Squidoo lens creation wizard to give you the chance to do this when you first set up your lens.

4.One of the most important things you should remember is to add an RSS feed so as to make your lens popular with search engines. There’s a Squidoo module for RSS feeds, and search engines just love that kind of unique, frequently changing content.

5.Update your lens several times a week at the minimum. You do not need to make major changes but quick and easy ones, just tweaking a little here and there and click “publish”. Although an RSS feed will help this, it is equally important that you also add hot new contents in your lens.

6.Link your related lenses to each other. This is a good technique as it is known to be a good traffic building tip. You also build more links and more links means more visitors which ultimately give you higher ranking for your Squidoo lenses.

7.When Squidoo masters recommend you to create many lenses, they actually meant create more specialized lenses based on long tail keywords in your niche. As you would already have a list of your keywords for your niche, you should start to dominate them. If you have a lens on work at home business, for example, you could create a more specialized lens called “Work At Home Business For Retirees”.

8.Use your lens like it’s your blog and link to your legitimate home internet business sites. This is such an easy yet powerful technique. Search engines love Squidoo and so links from a high-ranking lens to your work at home business site can really boost your traffic.

9.Remember that Squidoo is firstly a social networking site so get sociable by visiting other internet marketer’s lenses to give comments on their guest book. This also gets you one way links which generate traffic for you too.

10. Now, the trick to Squidoo is to not only have proper keywords in your lens, but to add many keywords to your lens. If your lens sells a product, more traffic translates to more sales. You can check out what keywords people are typing in search engines to arrive at your lens and easily add those keywords to your list

11. Here is the final secret you can use. Make your lens useful. One good way to make your lens useful is to present your information as “how-to” lesson within your topic. This helps you build a good lens and your audience finds what they are looking for easily.

What’s your opinion?
I am sure you may have other squidoo success tips that you’ve used which helped your squidoo rank or there were other good techniques you tried which you found to work well for you. Do share it here so that we can learn from you.

It may take you some time to get used to creating your squidoo lenses, but most people find it easy to learn while others get hooked on in creating interesting lenses to promote their home business opportunities. For something which you can learn easily and is free, loved by Google, and can bring lots of targeted traffic to your work at home business sites, it’s no wonder many people just love Squidoo and can’t stop creating lenses and having so much fun just making them.
