Keyword/Article Rewrite...Need Help

[Jenise Lockett]

Hello All-

I posted this question in a different subgroup by accident so I'll ask it here again.

I'm trying to understand how many articles we need PER site. It states that we should start with 5. (specifically under day 2). Do we take 1 keyword and replace it in 5 articles for each site? I'm a bit confused as to how that's suppose to flow.

your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello and good morning,
Great question. What they are talking about is posting 5 seperate articles. That means that you will need to find 5 seperate keywords. YOu can use the xcel spreadsheet to do this research. What you want to do ideally is to find some long tail keywords (say 3,4,5 word phrases) and replace them with the keywords in the articles. That way you are getting an article with a lot of searches and low competition. So sort the xcel sheet by google, which is your competition and then look for phrases that have a lot of searches and low google competition. You can replace these or just add a few sentences in the article, say 1 in the beginning, 1 in the middle and one in the end. That will help you rank for those phrases. If you can add more than one related phrase that is great also. That way you will rank for more than one phrase. There is a method that I use to find theme words and add them in the article also. Say you are searching for smoking, what you want to do is go to google and type in ~smoking. What you will then see after you hit go or search are highlighted or bolded words, these are the theme words for the smoking term. Use some of these bolded words in your article also. The ~ is located above the tab key. Hope that helps and if you have any more questions, ask away,
Steve

Steve, I see why you're the winner. You are the man!! Thank you so much. I will use the suggestion you gave also...sounds very good! I'm glad you opened the flood gates for questions b/c I am a question asking fool. I sent you a PM earlier - you can ignore it. I saw the answer in your signature.

One more question. Just for clarification: Should I choose my website name around my long tail keyword or the plr niche? (plr niche: heart disease vs. long tail keyword: coronary heart disease). I was thinking it should be around the keyword. What your strategy on that?

There is no problem with you asking questions, I will try to answer them the best that I can.

As for as your domain name goes, what I always try to do is to at least have my main keyword in my domain name. As you can see from some of the websites in my signature, I have tried to use the main keyword in those domain names. I don't really try so much to use a long tail keyword as I do using the main keyword.

I hope that helps,
Steve

hey,

Don't forget to run your keyword by "allintitle" via Google for additional research.

Look for kws that return 500 results or less. Allintitle only returns sites that have your keyword in the Title. You will see who your competition is. It's beeter than enclosing the kw in quotes.

Cool! Thanks for telling me. So how do I do it actually? is there a tick I click on to make it do that?

[golfer57]

Hello,
What you want to do is to do a search in google like this:
allintitle:"keyword"
That search is going to give you all of the pages that have the keyword phrase in there title tag. This is much better than in "" for the keyword
I also add the allinanchor tag and do that. The problem is you cannot run 2 allintitle or allinanchor at the same time, so you need to do this:
inanchor:"keyword phrase" intitle:"keyword phrase".
This is going to give you your TRUE competition, because now you are find the sites that have focused on your keyword phrase by having it in there title and in there anchor text. I try to get phrases less than 100 if I can. Just remember the lower the better. If the number is high you are going to need to do some off page optimization like a bunch of linking.
Hope that help,
Steve

Hi Steve -

You always help! Now, (you know I have a question right? ) I've already chosen my 4 website names and have registered them. i even got 2 up and running now! (God has been with me! )

Are we talking about doing this for keywords for article writing? Or for what precisely? My websites have the main keywords in the title, like: heart-disease-facts.com and dogbreed-info.com. Was that a good move you think?

Thanks, J

hello,
Yep, looks like you did good. You can do this for both. checking for intitle and inachor just lets you know if you can win in the serp race. You want to be on the front page and the less comp. you have the better. Keep up the good work.
