When you need keyword research?
Doing keyword research can be worth or not depending on your way of marketing. If you want to build a long-term business it is a MUST. If you want to use PPC to sell product – it is a MUST. If you are going to use article marketing, you can go without it (sometime I don’t bother doing it though it can help me make more sales).
What are the benefits of keyword research?
Well basically you do it so you can get targeted traffic from search engines. If you want to get automated money from your websites (means after a while you stop promoting it, but you get highly targeted traffic from search engines) it is a must…Who doesn’t want automated money? I can’t think of anyone, lol.
How can I do keyword research?
First of all you need to know which are the main/best keyword research tools (that most of the Internet marketers use):
Google Adwords:Keyword Tool
WordTracker Keyword Suggestion Tool
SEO E-book Keyword Suggestion Tool
now I sometimes use all three of them (lol) sometimes just one, depending on how many keywords I want. Usually 4-5 are a enough. For this example I will use SEO E-book Keyword Suggestion Tool but the process with each should be the same. Here is exactly what I do:
- Say that I want to promote an e-book about getting rid of acne. I will go to the keyword tool and type “acne”.
- Some of them got my attention like “adult acne”,”acne home remedies”,”how to get rid of old acne scars” and some more, the main thing that you looking for is more than 50 searches.Some people say that you need at least 200 searches however since you are going to have 4-5 keywords it doesn’t really matter.
- Now I go to google, and type my each keyword looking how many results I will get. For “acne home remedies” there are 449,000 results for “adult acne” there are 1,570,000 results and for “how to get rid of old acne scars” there are 761,000 results. Now I have to choose my main keyword.
- My situation is a little bit complicated. As you see “acne home remedies” and “how to get rid of old acne scars” have similar results . At my keyword suggestion tool the first one has 114 searches and the second one 95. In a normal situation I would pick “acne home remedies” without a doubt,however, if you look at the keywords which ones audience do you think will more likely buy the product you promote?
- People searching “Acne Home Remedies” will most are looking for a free way to get rid of their problem, but these looking for “how to get rid of old acne scars” people searching are probably desperate because they have their scars from long time ago, and they are more likely to pay for a product.
- So I would choose “how to get rid of old acne scars” for my main keyword, and find the best secondary ones in the same principle.

Nice post .Sometimes in choosing a main keyword you don’t need to rely according to the number of searches people made but you have to consider your audience as well. So even if a keyword has less search but you identify that people will absolutely interested paying your products or service so go & choose that keyword.
