How to effectively use Google’s Free Keyword Research Tool
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in search engine optimizing
If you’ve been doing internet marketing for a while now and have had no success, you could probably blame your keyword research. Remember, your keyword research is everything when it comes to building a site. Thankfully, Google’s free keyword research tool can help us find that perfect niche.
What is available for use?
You can choose to use 2 things when trying to find the right keyword, Google Wonder Wheel and the Keyword research tool. Both of which can easily help you uncover that deeply hidden niche that has yet to be exposed.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Wonder Wheel, just do a simple search and click ’show options’. You will then see a side bar on the left that will have the wonder wheel link, this will break down your search into other, more “micro” searches that were done by other Google Users.
It’s a good tool to use if you are having trouble figuring out what niche to focus on. But if you’re looking for a specific keyword, you’ll want to first use the free keyword research tool that Google provides.
So how do you use the keyword research tool effectively?
You’ll want to look for a keyword with Global search of more then 3,000. This means that there is about 100 (give or take) searches a day for that keyword (3,000 searches divided by 31 days in a month, get it?).
How does the first page results look? If there are a bunch of authority sites then look for another keyword, you won’t be quickly able to dominate that keyword.
If I think that I could easily jump over this competition, I’ve found my keyword
As far as I’m concerned, this is the best keyword research tool. I even think this is better then Micro Niche Finder now as I’ve noticed Micro Niche Finder to not work as effectively recently.

Search Engine Optimization Tips – Anchor Down
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in search engine optimizing
This weeks installment of Search Engine Optimization Tips focuses on properly using anchor text. The basis of anchor text is very simple to understand but is the most important part of backlinks.
Search Engine Optimization Tips – What are anchor links?
When there is a link on your page or another page, how does a search engine correlate that link to a specific keyword?
Anchor links are search engines most important tool for determining what keyword that link relates to.
When you type up a post and say the post about cheap search engine optimization, you’ll want to link to that specific word. Notice I just did it there? Now whenever a spider crawls my page, they’ll see that link right there and see the links anchor text is “cheap search engine optimization.”
If you’re lucky enough to have someone with a high PR site linking a highly sought after keyword to your page, that will add tons of what I like to call “link roids” to your page. Link roids strengthen your sites presence among search engines to the links you’d never believe.
Search Engine Optimization Tips – How to get Link Roids through anchor text
Want to know one of the most easiest ways to get anchor texts from a high ranking site?
- Do a search for the keyword you’re after.
- Go through the first page of the search engine results until you find one with a comment section on that particular page.
- Where it says “Name”, type your keyword and put the URL of the particular page of yours that is triggered towards that keyword in the “Website” box.
- Add a comment which will be informative, original, and insightful.

Be Careful: Some webmasters recognize this trick and will reject your comment, so choose wisely when doing this.
Search Engine Optimization Tips – Warning
Do NOT spam the internet with the same keyword. If I went to 1,000 blogs and on each one of them I commented with the name “cheap search engine optimization” and the same URL, my site would be flagged and this would prove useless. If you want to get your site de-indexed, this is one of the quickest ways to have it done!

Search Engine Optimization Tips – 1
Record everything you do!
This is by far, one of the most overlooked search engine optimization tips you’ll find but for me, it is the most important component. Without it you’ll have no real direction as to what to do in the future.
Think about, if you weren’t allowed to proof read anything you’ve ever written, what kind of grades would you get in school?
You would probably get horrible grades since you couldn’t go back and review your strengths, weaknesses and mistakes. Well when it comes to SEO, you won’t make any money if you don’t record what you do!
Search Engine Optimization Tips – What do I record?
If it pertains to search engine optimizing your site, write it down. For every website I have, I keep a log of every method I used to promote the article/post/page I have. If I submitted a certain article to a particular social network, I write it down. If I used a certain format or style, it’s there in my log. When I first start these logs, each page I’ll do something different.
My SEO Log usually looks something like this:
- Article Title
- URL:
- Number of h2 headers:
- Number of h3 headers:
- Social Sites submitted to:
- Article submission sites submitted to
- Number of media (images/video):
- Special techniques:
- Comments:
A log can be as simple as the excel spreadsheet below I created for this particular article
Search Engine Optimization Tips
Remember, doing this WILL boost your search engine rankings!
After a few weeks, I’ll go back and review the stats of that page and record them into the log. Once you have a bunch of pages logged, you’ll be able to correlate between the logs; what works and what doesn’t work. Since you’ll have a log of what search engine optimization techniques work, you can then mess around with new and interesting methods of SEO and record it to see if they’re effective at making you money!

Google removes PageRank from Webmaster Tools
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in search engine optimizing
According to WebProNews.com, Google has decided to remove the PageRank feature from Webmaster Tools. In the past, Google has hinted to the fact that PageRank doesn’t necessarily correlate to the strength of the SEO performed on the site. Many site owners tracked the prudence of their SEO efforts by the PageRank of their page.
While Google has removed the PageRank feature from Webmasters Tools citing it’s insignificance in SEO performance, I can’t understand why they’ve kept it on their Toolbar. Now I can relate with the fact that the PageRank is what makes the Google Toolbar stand out from its competition but I have to think that PageRank still serves in some capacity how well your site is performing. Who knows though, you never know when it comes to search engine algorithms.
What is the lesson here? It’s simple and I’ve said it millions of times before, blog because you have a passion about something and enjoy writing about it. Do not blog in hopes of being ranked number one on a search engine and making money, as you see here the search engines algorithms are constantly changing. Trying to keep up with these changes is like kicking water up hill, so please for your own mental sanity, just blog because you like to.

7 things a Top Ranking site doesn’t want you to know!
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in search engine optimizing
While many webmasters main goal is to achieve that first page, top rank notch on search engine results, they are discouraged by the misunderstood belief that it’s nearly impossible to achieve number 1 rankings on most keywords. Disregard anything you heard before about not even trying to tackle first page ranked sites as I’m going to give you the 7 things a top ranking site doesn’t want you to know!
Top Ranking Site Secrets
- They can be taken over: Most sites that are ranking high on SERP’s are only there because of their age. Have you ever done a search and the first result is one of the most hideous pages you ever been to? Stupid and pointless glittery graphics all over the place, multi-colored and overly enlarged Comic Sans font, not to mention, elementary information. Those sites are only there because of their age, nothing else. Even a bottle of rotten grapes will catch eyes if its been aged for 20 years, doesn’t mean its good. So remember, with hard and persistent work, the top ranked pages can be overcome.
- Their site isn’t even 100% SEO optimized for that keyword: Most of your niches, the top ranking sites don’t have their site optimized for that keyword. If you’re going after a particular niche, your URL will contain that keyword in it, an aspect that the top sites rarely have. Remember, you’re looking to go after a micro niche, so you’ll have an immediate advantage. Go ahead and look at any site relating to the keyword you’re after, there aren’t any articles submitted to article marketing sites on it, keywords aren’t stylized as much, and the keyword usage rate isn’t as optimized as it could be.
- They more than likely weren’t planning to rank for the keyword: Type in a long tail keyword into a search engine. Most of the top ranking sites have no idea they are even on the first page for that particular keyword. That allows you to take advantage of that by making that your target keyword if the circumstances are beneficial. By that I mean, if the long tail keyword is only searched for once a month, move on. If the keyword returns 1,000 plus hits a month according to Google and/or Micro Niche Finder, you can make that keyword your URL and one up a site.
- Page Rank fluctuates and top sites are too lazy to maintain it: Nothing in life is forever. That especially applies to Page Rank (PR). Google is constantly updating it’s PR formulas, lowering and raising pages PR statuses. In order to maintain that high PR, websites have to have a constant presence in the niche community of that keyword. They have to maintain one way links from other high ranking sites. Now, most of these top rank sites have hundreds, maybe even thousands of individual pages, posts, blogs, etc. Do you think they can truly devote enough time or money to each page to maintain its SERP’s?
- They don’t implement a link building program: Following up on the previous element, these sites can’t implement a link building program for every page they’ve got. In my previous post on Cheap Search Engine Optimization, I talked about the need to become a pronounced figure in your niche community. Comment on blogs, post articles to article submission sites, volunteer to post for another website in exchange for a back link. All of these things give you one way back links that enhance your Page Rank and make your site more popular. Most of these sites don’t do that because they base all of their Search Engine Rankings on the age of their site and don’t have the time or resources to link every page.
- Comments are their greatest method of updating content: While people like you and I whose sites are relatively new have to constantly update our page with long, educating, and engaging articles, these top ranked sites only have to put a few paragraphs on the keyword their targeting and sit back and allow the 1,000’s of followers they have flood their pages with content in the form of comments on the post. So, to counter that, either come up with more engaging and/or controversial articles or write an article where as you say that the webmaster of that page is wrong. Then go to their page and write a comment saying that you disagree with what was said and link to your article there. Promise you many of the sites hardcore followers will flood to your page to find out what the hell you’re talking about and voice their opinions. If they bash you, don’t delete the comment, you’ll soon have followers who will believe you and a debate will develop right on your article.
- There is no magical formula: I know some of you think that these top sites have done something unknown to anyone else or they’ve perfected every single factor that pertains to SEO. This is not the case, you can easily take over these sites and become the dominant figure in your niche, I have faith in you. I’ve done it, and so can you. It’s very easy to accomplish, just takes some work, but it’s worth it in the end!
