How to Find Profitable Keywords

I like how she spells everything out. It's really all about finding longtail keywords that don't have a lot of competition but that do have a good number of searches per month. The key is finding those keyword phrases that people use when they're in a buying frame of mind. That is to say, this is a method on how to find profitable keywords that people use when they're searching for solutions to problems.

The video below explains it all.

In the past, I've always gone to the old search standby, google, when looking for images. It's always worked sufficiently.

However, I recently started using bing. It's the revamped search engine from Microsoft and it's wonderful for finding suitable pictures and other images for your blog, sales pages, etc. (always make sure you follow the copyright rules). The cool thing about a bing image search is that seemingly endless relevant search results appear. There is no endless paging through 10 results at a time. You just scroll down the page until you find what you're looking for.

The results are far more relevant and it's so much easier and quicker to find exactly what you're looking for.

I love bing image search!

NOTE: This is NOT a “How-to use Ping.fm” post. You can google “how to use Ping.fm” if you want that.

First, I use Ping.fm for the bulk of my internet marketing promos. I “ping” twitter, Facebook, and MySpace whenever I add or update a page on any of my sites. There is a WordPress plugin (actually, a few) that posts to Ping.fm whenever you make a post, but I have yet to get them to work reliably (and you know I’m a fan of automation!); for now, I just use the ping.fm toolbar.

Second, and this one is key: I “ping” those blogs on which I make a comment! I make regular use of comments on blogs; if I happen to come across a blog post that I really like, and to which I can add a valuable comment, I make my comment. Then, using for aforementioned toolbar, I ping that post.

Not only am I helping out the publisher that wrote the piece that I thought was brilliant, but I am also indirectly promoting my own site through the automatic link that (most) blogs make when a reader makes a comment! If you are crafty, you make your “name” your website name, or a keyword-rich title of a post you want the reader to view, then input your email address and the link you want your “name” to link to.

You may get diredct traffic from the comment. You also will get a valuable backlink to your site (or post on your site) IF the blog is a “do follow” blog. There is evidence that “no follow” links get followed by the search engines, even though they aren’t supposed to, including google, which is the SE that instituted the whole “no follow” baloney in the first place!
