I am a Search Engine Optimization newbie. I have read a little
on various forums, browsed a few articles, and read through The
Affiliate Masters Course (Ken Evoy) a couple of times.
Eleven days ago I invested a little of my affiliate earnings in
a new product that was being launched.
The Dowser Professional is a keyword research tool on steroids,
and has allowed me to improve the returns from the few existing
niche websites I already have, and find a number of new niches
very quickly.
I was so impressed with The Dowser Professional that I decided
it was a key product I wanted to promote as an affiliate, even
to the extent of developing a product specific niche website.
I am very much a believer in Ken Evoy's technique of
"pre-selling". If you provide a customer with proof that a
product works, and what they could do with the product, you can
maximise your sales potential.
So I set out to prove that The Dowser Professional was an
insanely powerful too, and that anyone could easily use it to
improve their website(s) and find rich new niches.
I set myself what I believe is the ultimate challenge, to target
SEO experts on their own turf.
I picked an initial keyword to research, "keyword".
Within a few minutes I had a good list of related keywords, and
within 20 minutes had completed my keyword research. Yes the
whole process was that fast.
I then setup a Blogger.com blog based around the keywords I
selected.
http://keyword-report.blogspot.com/
The primary keywords for the site are "keyword position report"
(KEI approx 6K) and "keyword ranking report" (KEI approx 3K).
It is amazing that such large holes can be found in a very
competitive niche with only a few minutes work, but that is the
power of The Dowser.
I set myself a very strict rule. No seeking links until the site
was indexed and had achieved ranking based purely on keywords.
Today (July 28th 2005) the site was picked up by Yahoo. It ranks
1st and 5th for it's primary keywords, and has already received
traffic from both Yahoo and Technorati.
The site is not yet listed in MSN and Google. I expect it to
rank well on MSN and poorly on Google until it has some incoming
links.
The site contains maybe 30% original content, and any articles
used were carefully "wrapped" with specific keyword heavy text
both before and after.
Additional related information including screenshots of example
Yahoo ranking are available on my Niche Website Blog.
