Free Keyword of the Week 6

by -

Your free keyword this week is a slightly tougher one than in previous weeks, so if you are just starting out with SEO and building sites, this is probably not for you.

If on the other hand, you have your linking techniques all sorted and you know that you can make real progress with some bigger words, then here it is:

12 volt battery

This is car batteries we are talking about here, so they go up pretty high if you want to look at Amazon or another affiliate program to shift some. Let’s look a bit closer (as always, all figures are from the new keyword tool)

This is a US keyword primarily, getting 74,000 broad searches, 33k phrase and dropping down to 3,600 exact searches month. Applying a quick “phrase x CPC x 0.4” (for a first place entry on the front page) calculation still gives a very respectable $9,000 a month and those clicks are only around a dollar each, so you’d make more from selling batteries.

Competition on this is a lot higher with more PR  3’s than I would normally go for, but Youtube and another vid site are in there, so maybe a video is the way forwards with this one.

As a freebie for those who are a bit daunted by that prospect, you might just want to check out “12 volt battery charger”. Of course, it gets lower searches, but it too is available and is a lot easier to rank for. I see Amazon on the front page – always a good sign!

From now on, I will be keeping the second free keyword back for my subscribers, so if you want a double dose every week, sign up for my email list and I will keep you well rewarded. This week you’ll get a third keyword (as we’ve already had 2 here!)

Free Keyword of the Week 5

by -

One of the things I have learned about myself over the last few weeks/months/years is that I’m a particularly strong researcher. What that means is that I love to dif around in subjects and find out stuff. What it does not mean is that I’m any good at making that stuff happen! I’m not what Myers-Briggs calls a “completer-finisher”.

The good thing for everyone reading, is that finding keywords feels like researching to me. I love to dig around and check out all the details of keyword subjects and that’s why you get free keywords here every week.

What am I doing about my personality? Well, you may or may not have seen the Ezinearticles hundred day challenge appear again (started yesterday). This is an end of year challenge to get a hundred articles written in the hundred days left before the end of the year…hopefully getting to Platinum status in the process and theoretically generating a load of traffic to wherever you point it. Now, since I have to write some articles anyway, I’ve signed up for the challenge…we’ll see how it goes.

I’m tempted at the same time to sign up for John Carlton’s Simple Writing System – combining the article writing experience with learning copywriting from the master. I’m just not sure if that’s biting off one too many things to do. I’d be interested to hear what you think of the idea…..does anyone need a tame copywriter that’s been trained by John?

Anyway, you came here for keywords, so here they are. Two this week, one for the US, one for the UK with a bit of a shared theme.

First up for the US: Doctor Who Episodes

According the new keyword tool this gets 8,100 exact searches a month and it’s not so much of a buyer’s phrase, but with access to these episodes being harder to get hold of in America,  you could monetize it with some DVD sales or toys relating to Doctor Who.  As soon as you look at phrase match, this jumps to 18,000 and the US is the biggest searcher for this keyword phrase – no idea why it isn’t the UK!

Second one for the UK: Doctor Who Games     (You see the theme now!)

This gets a huge 18,100 exact searches a month, rising to 22,000 phrase match. Almost 100% of these searches come from the UK. I won’t state the obvious here, but…..Christmas!!

As always, with both of these, there’s a TLD available.

As a special bonus – because you’ve been so good – here’s a range of things to look up for yourself, mainly because typing the numbers out gets tedious.

Check out “almost any kind of animal for sale”. So, for example “ferrets for sale”. If you whiz that through the keyword tool a couple of times, I think you’ll be amazed at just how many domains are available if you want to be a specialist animal seller 🙂 Maybe I’ll relent and show you what I’ve found if anyone shows any real interest!
