Tips For Running An Internet Marketing Blog
Chris Stigson speaking. I’m an internet marketing blogger who spends a lot of time testing new stuff in the bloggin era. I’ve kind of cracked the code for running a profitable blog and want to do a test as well as share some knowledge with this article. Benefit by reading more.
It’s a common thing to hear about success stories on profitable blogs these days.. Some generate amounts of up to $100,000/month and beyond. Profitable they are. You as a blog owner probably need to do a few things differently in order to get the most out of your internet marketing techniques and take a few steps to increase search engine rankings, make more money and have it run on autopilot.
What I’ve found is that creating a traffic pulling blog is more than just about getting search engine rankings. You need more… See… Blogs are so easily syndicated using RSS and tools such as RSS submit to get your website spread like wildfire in just one go. This is no news… This isn’t any news either, but you want to “deep link” your blog posts and have strictly defined anchor texts.
You should always “sub-niche” your internet marketing blog. Doing “traffic”, or “articles”, or maybe “eBay marketing” is a good way to “sub-niche” your sites. It’s not at all difficult to sub-niche and it’s far more profitable since you WON’T be burried hundreds of miles down in the 46th page of Google!
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.
Simple example could be “traffic generation”. That’s our “IM sub-niche”. Great. Let’s go do some keyword research before we get carried away. Let’s say we type in “traffic” and it spits out “increase search engine traffic” as a viable keyword. Then head over to Google and type it in. Now head over to Yahoo and use “link:http://www.yourcompetition.com” to see the backlink count for your competition. If it’s below 1,000, go for it! There’s our sub-niche-long-tail-keyword. Yippie, let’s get going!
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.
Now you write relevant content about “increase search engine traffic” in your blog. Simple? Yes, but you also need about 10-20 keywords more to start writing articles just like this one. When you have done that, post them on various article directories online and see traffic, rankings and profits pouring in!
