Adwords Keyword Research for Beginners

Adwords Keyword research for beginners

When you embark on your first PPC journey, you need to keep a small number of keywords at first. Keyword lists that are thousands of words long should be left to the more experienced PPC marketer. Ideally, a beginner should use around 100 targeted keywords, anything more will probably prove too cumbersome for you to manipulate. If you can't harness the power of large keyword campaigns, they will suck your bank accounts dry. There are some very simple free techniques that you can use to find targeted keys words with low competition. One process of finding low competition niche keywords utilizes Google and excel. More specifically you want to use Google's keyword tool, just type this into Google, and it will appear in the search results.

Upon landing on the main Google keyword tool page, you will find a white box(field) where you want to enter your particular keyword(s). Enter one keyword for now to get an idea of how this works, and press enter. After pressing enter, you will be directed to a page of keywords that will be closely related to the keyword that you entered. For the purposes of what we want to do, you will need to scroll to the middle of the page where the text Add all 150 is highlighted in blue bold text. Below these words you will see the words download all keywords with text,.csv(for excel) and .csv. You want to click on .csv(for excel). By doing this, you will export this data into an excel spreadsheet. The data, which only appears as green bars on the main Google page, will be transformed into numeric data that has much more value for you.

Once the data is in the excel spread sheet, you can begin some simple analysis on it that will benefit your PPC campaign a great deal. In the excel spreadsheet, there are going to be columns of data, A-D. The columns are going to be, from A-D, Keywords, Advertiser competition, the previous month's search volume, and the average search volume.The two columns we are interested in are the advertiser competition and the Average search volume. What we want to do is merge the data from these two columns to give us a number that we can work with. So what we need to do is take a generalized average of these two to get a number which we will compare to a predetermined benchmark. Sounds a little odd, let me explain a bit more completely, and hopefully you will understand. All of these numbers are in decimals on a scale ranging from .00 to 1. The higher the number, the more competition there is(as expressed by the advertiser competition numbers) and the higher the search volume(as expressed by the average search volume). Ideally, we want low competition with a decent search volume to target lower cost high converting keywords. So, to find these keywords we use a general benchmark number that will determine their competition and volume level. If the keywords exceed the benchmark, we leave them be, if they hit right around the benchmark, or fall below it, we want to capture them and include them in our PPC campaign.

To get our figures, which we are going to compare to a predetermined benchmark, we are going to take an average of the advertiser competition column and the average search volume column. We want to do this for all the keywords that have been exported to the excel file. And the way we do this is by typing in a simple command in excel and copying the command down throughout the related boxes. So to start, we find box E2 which should be blank, this is the first box to the right of the first value in the avg. search volume box. So, within this blank box you want to type=average(D2,B2). This will automatically give you an average of those two numbers in this E column row when you close that last ).Now, to get all the averages for every keyword you simply want to click on that box(E2) and pull down on the box while you hold in right click. The boxes should fill in with color when you drag down to the last box(nothing will be in them yet). Then, when you have filled in the boxes with color up to the last box you want to lift your finger off the right click. When you do this all the averages will appear in the boxes. You basically just copied the function down through the boxes. So now we have all these averages. What do we do with them, what do they tell us?

Well, a good benchmark average is around .50. This will give us a reasonable competition level with good search volume. So we compare these averages to anything that falls around .50 and below. Anything that goes above .60 we want to avoid to start out with, because it will probably be too expensive to bid on. So now compare all the averages in column E to the predetermined benchmark of .50. Whatever falls below .50 or, .55(to possibly get some more data) we want to keep. Take all the keywords that meet this criteria and copy them into a notepad .txt file. (There are faster ways to do this but they take some learning of excel functions that you may not know yet.)

So now we want to take these keywords that fell below or right around the benchmark and plug these back into the Google keyword tool and hit enter. Now go back through the entire process that we just did to get the keywords we just plugged into the Google keyword tool. You are going to want to take the average again of the two columns mentioned above, then get all the averages of all the keywords by draggin the first box down, and then compare again to a benchmark of .50 or .55. But now, because we found some more targeted keywords to work with(as a result of the first exporting of data to excel, and taking the averages to compare against the benchmark) we should have more keywords that hit right around the benchmark and below it. This is because we are working with more targeted and hopefully lower competition keywords. We are finding yet more targeted keywords related to the first set we found. This should produce a larger list of keywords that meet our benchmark. So now we can take the words that meet the benchmark here, and we can use these in our targeted PPC campaign. You will want to sort through this list of course, and make sure the keywords are well suited for the particular items that you are selling. This method will get you headed in the right direction for your PPC campaign.

Beginner's Guide to Network Marketing (MLM)

Network Marketing, also called MLM (multi-level marketing) can be very profitable. Many companies operate in this way, for example Amway, Kleeneze and the Body Shop.

The main requirement for this business is to be good at selling. Don't despair if you're a shy wallflower as selling is a skill that can be learned, and in most network marketing companies you should be provided with plenty of training materials and help.

When you join a network marketing company there are two ways of earning money. Firstly, by selling the company's products to the customer, you would then receive a percentage of the products you sell. Secondly you can also recruit other sales agents, while continuing to sell the products yourself. You would then receive commission for every sale your agents make also.

Although this is a profitable way to earn money, don't be fooled by claims that it is easy to earn money with little effort.

It can be possible to get into a position whereby you build a large network of sellers, who provide you with an income with their efforts, but you have to put in the work and it doesn't happen overnight.

If you are good at selling and are prepared to put in the work then this could be a very good way of making money.

There are a wide range of products available to make money. Choose a company whose products you like and perhaps would buy yourself, as this will make it much easier to sell.

Also make sure there are not too many agents for the company in the area you would like to work. This would make it difficult to sell a reasonable amount.

Try to find a proactive, experienced and helpful agent when deciding on which company to join. They will be the ones providing you with the most training and advice. Some agents provide regular training sessions and online forums to help and encourage each other.

Request information from several people or companies before making a decision.

You don't need any qualifications to join. You will be trained by the company you join to sell the product you choose.

Once you have chosen the company you wish to sell for, you will need to purchase their basic kit - this can be as little as a short training guide and some catalogues, to a package of products, stationery, catalogues and training materials. You should not be required to buy the products yourself to sell on. It is common however, to be expected to pay for some samples of the products at up to £100 ($200).

It is then up to you to make contacts to sell the products. You can sell through friends and their friends, work colleagues, special events, schools (check first), holding a party, or anywhere you can leave a catalogue in their business or office.

To work in network marketing you will need energy and resilience and a tough skin to cope with the many rejections!

At the start you may only be making a small amount, but successful people with a big network can make £100,000 ($200,000).

However this is not common and the average earnings are around £5,000 ($10,000) a year.

Pros

If you are comfortable with selling and have or can make contacts you could persuade to sell to, you can make good money.

Good way of meeting people.

Flexible working hours.

Help, training and encouragement from your upline (the person that you joined the networking company through)

Ready-made business

Cons

Lot of time and effort required.

Could lose friends if you try too hard to sell products to them or try to make them become agents too.

Start up costs (although usually relatively low - less that £100 or $200)

Must be good at selling, or be willing to learn how to sell.

Beginners Basics of Product Creation

Many beginners, or newbies as they are fondly called, will ask how to make money on the Internet. The answer is usually “sell other people’s products” or use Google Adsense to earn money by selling ad space. These are both viable methods of making money —especially for those who do not have much experience. But if you want to make good profits over the Internet, you will want to try selling your own products at some point.

So what are the beginners basics of product creation?

The first step is identifying your strengths: are you an expert on a subject? Can you design software applications? Are you good at researching and writing? Are you bad at all of the above, but excellent as an administrator? It doesn’t matter what you answered. All of these are valid starting points.

What you must determine before you begin to make money with the beginners basics is where to find the market for your specific product. For instance, if you’re an expert on granny smith apples – is there a market for granny smith apple information? Could you write an ebook on it? Or would you be better off using that knowledge to create a recipe book that involves apples? The best way to determine what will make money is to actually research it. You can start by looking at aggregate search data on Overture’s inventory tool. You must then match that data against aggregate site supply data on Google (i.e., perform a search on each topic).

If you’ve got a large market with thousands of searchers (or potential buyers) and few sellers or site owners, you have a profitable niche. This means you should, or can, create a product for that specific niche — whether it ends up being a recipe book for apples or a step-by-step set of instructions for making the best apple pie you’ve ever eaten.

If you’re an expert on apples or making apple pie, then there’s no need to hire someone else to write about it. Instead, you can write your own ebook (or dictate it to a writer) or maybe even record some videos of you making pie, which include explanations for how it is done in detail. You can then go to elance.com and look for copywriter and designer. The copywriter will create a sales page for your audio lectures — and the designer will create a functional site from which you can sell your products.

The only step remaining is some sort of a checkout system. You can use either Paypal.com or Clickbank.com to sell your products. If you’re worried that this first product might not be able to make good profits on the Internet, you may want to go with Paypal, as it is free to setup a checkout system. Clickbank will require you to pay $50, but will also automatically create an affiliate program for you.

You now only have one step left – and that is to market your product. The beginners basics of this are quite simple too. If you want to make good profits, provide a good product, and make good friends. If you can convince other webmasters to advertise your product to their list, you could profit considerably.

If you are serious about making money, you will also want to market the heck out of your product using sig files in forums for that specific niche that matches your product, get you r page listed in the indexes, write some well thought-out articles and use the link for your sales copy in the author’s resource box, and finally, start a PPC campaign to get massive traffic to your page.

Just remember, this article is no quick fix for hard work and making money! The best beginners basics tip I can give you is to tell you that if you really want to make money, you will find that it is doable in a short time frame — but only if you put in the hard work and dedication it takes to be successful at marketing and selling your product, and running the necessary traffic to your site.

Sexy Lingerie - A beginners Guide

Summary:

Say ‘sexy lingerie’ and most people will think of black and red lacy peep-hole bras and crotchless panties! However, this concept is such a poor representation of what sexy lingerie is and what it does.

Keywords:

sexy lingerie, lingerie

Say ‘sexy lingerie’ and most people will think of black and red lacy peep-hole bras and crotchless panties! However, this concept is such a poor representation of what sexy lingerie is and what it does.

It can transform a ‘normal’ body into one that would befit a model or actress and the physiological effects can make even more of a transformation! Read on….

Gone are the days when sexy lingerie was something that was bought by a woman or man to enhance sex – nowadays, it does so much more.

Certainly, items such as silky baby dolls; pretty, colourful bras and knickers; suspenders; lacy teddies etc can enhance the experience of making love, but now women are seeing more to the picture that just that.

Sexy underwear is steadily becoming a staple part of a woman’s normal day wear. Under many a suited, working woman you’ll see a hint of lacy bra or extra sheer stockings that give the lady a certain ‘oommpph’.

Not only does the wearing of ‘sexy’ lingerie exude sexuality (sometimes unbeknown to the lady in question), wearing sensuous, pretty/ racy underwear can boost a woman’s confidence in her body ten-fold.

The good news is that today’s sexy lingerie is no longer uncomfortable, scratchy and unpractical. Fluid lines, top quality lace and silk and other sensual

materials, and, most important, a style suited for today’s woman (as opposed to yesterday’s stick insect shape) means they are like a second skin - and a very flattering one at that.

‘Larger’ ladies – and the term is used very loosely as around 40% of the UK population falls in to this outdated category - are now catered for when it comes ot choosing pretty, fn and racy undies!

Push up bras can make the most of an ample (or tiny) breast whilst lacy boy pants can flatter a round belly and cuddly bottom whilst thongs can show of sexy legs.

Wearing beautiful, sexy underwear cannot help but have a positive mental effect on the wearer – and a more confident, happy person will radiate this and reap the rewards.

The key to make the most of wearing sexy lingerie is to focus on a part of your body that is really great – and we all have at least one, it is just that we tend to focus on the less than great bits – and then dress to really show it off. Even if it is hidden under your suit, or a t shirt and jeans, you know that you are wearing .. and then so will other people!
