If you have found “YOUR” niche, the big hitter!, the diamond in the ruff!, the bees knees!,.. but you soon realize the competition is rather tough and could take years to rank for naturally in any search engine. So how can you fix this little problem you ask? (P.S. its probably a wise move to obtain this knowledge well before you choose a niche haha, but if your anything like me, you might not have)
Long Tail Keyword Phrases! First of all let me define; A long tail keyword phrase is simply a key phrase of between three to well… infinity words I guess, but we know that won’t happen. Really its kinda up to you how long the key phrases is but it has to consist of at lest three words to be considered a “long tail”.
Let me use the infamous “Baby Cribs” niche as an example. The words “baby crib” and “crib” alone are what is know as a core phrase (usually highly traffic and tremendously tough in competition). Those very reasons are why long tail key phrases are preferred for me and my colleagues. They also ensure a better conversion rate believe it or not. Say you decide to rank for the phrase “baby cribs for sale”, those words “for sale” means a whole lot. For one it is a call to action, meaning it is implying that the consumer is looking to purchase. For two it weeds out traffic that will be of no use to you. Not to mention it will be easier and faster to rank for.
Now that we know what it is we are going to rank for it is now time to decide how we want to rank. There are many different ways to build back links to your site.
*Editorials (the best)
*Blog Comments
* Articles
* Directory Submissions
*Press Releases
* Forums
* Sponsored {Posts
* Profiles
* Social Bookmarks
* Satellite Sites
There are a few things you need to know as well. To some it is a wise decision to let your site site online with content for a few weeks. This allows Google to recognize your site and classify it according to your content. Then you can slowly and steadily start to build (or buy) back links to your site. This also ensures that Google doesn’t flag your site or monitor it (which may not matter to some). If you would like to purchase back links you can get in touch with me and I will get you taken care of. Be sure to be diverse in your selection and use as many different methods as you can. Also try not to make big campaign spikes, stay small and consistent. The last thing to take into consideration wound be the on site SEO. Which is a very important element. This means that you have your keyword phrase in your site, preferably a few times, and you need to have it be a text link to a specific product landing page. Also having your keyword phrase in both your sidebar and your footer is wise because Google associates these parts with every page in your site. That’ll do donkey, that’ll do…..
