There are numerous people who believe SEO is dead, but the truth is it is far from dead and all you need to kick start the SEO engine is the right links. The most important point is how you get those links. Alternatively put, the links also need to be chafed into good or bad. Just because, it looks like a feasible link, doesn’t mean it actually holds water. Hence, the crux of the matter is, the link is not bad but the manner in which it was begotten may not be completely above reproach.
Most people who have just set up their SEO firms are not completely familiar with the importance of back links. Simply put, if you do not build your links, you will not gain a high page rank. The point is, taking the easy and short route will lead to a gain, however it will be short-lived. Translated, it will lead to a long term loss. There are numerous chances of you running into problems, somewhere in the near future.
So, if you are an amateur, chances are you will be targeting the same niche that every established SEO goes after.

There are always great chances that the visitor will stay on your site and consequently will help Google to rank your page some place where it can be seen. It goes without saying, higher Google ranks your page, more are the chances of you generating income.

A prospect coming in to your website from a long-tail keyword is often more valuable than someone searching for something generic, because:
• They are further down the buying cycle and have done adequate research.
• The customer knows exactly what he’s looking for.
• Conversion rates are typically better with long-tail keywords.
It is typically very hard to locate long-tail keywords that have search traffic in order to optimize your website to rank for them.
None of the popular keyword research tools including Wordtracker, Google Adwords Tool provide in-depth analysis on long tail terms with traffic.
In this post, I’ll be showing you five easy ways to locate long-tail keywords that have search traffic and can help you become more profitable:
1. Google Suggest Scrape
Google provides keyword suggestions when you type in a key phrase into the search box, the suggestions that you see on top are typically keywords that have more search traffic than the ones down below.
A great way to find long-tail traffic that converts is using the google suggest scraper tool developed by thinkpragmatic.com
This tool scrapes the suggestions provided by Google for a root keyword and also appends the alphabets ‘a to z’ for that keyword to scrape more useful long-tail terms.
2. Books and Magazines
It’s always useful to read popular industry books and magazines and scoop out new articles. These articles often contain popular jargon, terms and concepts that you can use to optimize for.
Since these terms are published in industry books and magazines, they already have search traffic that you can exploit. If you’re the first to optimize for these terms as soon as they’re published, you have a better chance of dominating the first spot in the search engines.
3. Google Blog Search
Google Blog Search is a great way to save time on research by using other people’s long-tail research as references. If you enter a keyword into Google Blog Search, it shows you the latest related blog posts that have been published across the world wide web.
Using this tool, you can find out what long-tails other people in your industry are going after and optimize for them.
4. Large Ecommerce Sites
If you’re trying to find long-tail keywords for your ecommerce sites, a large ecommerce site will be a great source of long-tail product terms to optimize.
Sites like eBay and Amazon have a huge catalog of items that you could browse to come up with long-tail product keywords as well as topics for articles to write and optimize.
5. SpyFu, Market Samurai and other competitive research tools
Tools like SpyFu and Market Samurai allow you to search for a domain or keyword and see what other keywords users are advertising relevant to the domain or keyword.
These usually contain plenty of long-tails that you can use for your campaigns.
More than selecting these long-tail terms, its also important to track these using a powerful analytics tool to see if they’re generating positive return on investment.
It is advisable and easier to optimize a keyword that generates revenue to rank better rather than try and research a new one which may or may not produce positive results.

As we approach the end of 2009 I have to admit that I haven’t exactly followed the path I had in mind for my first full year in internet marketing. Ideas that I thought we a dead cert to work have fallen flat on their face, and other things I’ve tried have been surprisingly successful.
One such success story was a tactic I discovered to cash in on the Christmas period as an amazon affiliate. After discovering the idea I spent a couple of days in November setting it up (I really wish I had spent more time now!) and netted around $500 in sales commisioned. Not a huge amount I know, but I only really had time to test the water to see whether it would work, and the idea is totally scalable. Next year I will be looking for some people to join me in creating a network of affiliate sites for amazon so we can all benefit from this tactic.
I have also been working on a membership site for people who want to become affiliate marketers. It probably won’t be for those who are looking to become big name internet marketing millionaire guru’s (you’ll have to buy some other course for that) but for the average Joe who wants to make a decent income just from being a behind the scenes affiliate. Not everybody likes the limelight, I realise, so this site will be about giving you all the tools and training to succeed in affiliate marketing. I will also be looking to use the power of the collective members to help in the promotion of products.
So I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a very prosperous New Year, and look out for more from me very soon.
