Fellow bloggers,

STEP 1: This is the first and it's simply getting the idea ofwhat to write about.

STEP 2: Ok, now you have decided to write about some blackberry thing or some crazy idea. If the next thing you do is jump into typing, then you are writing for LOW or NO traffic.

So what should you do?

Do a proper keyword research. If you miss this, you are OFF. I can recommend google's KW toolif you're tight but if you got some cash like my friend Jide Ogunsanya, you can go in for a more serious Market Samu.

So, open the keyword tool and key in hmmmm say "Internet on blackberry". You are going to have a list of related keywords. That should not be too hard to pick the keyword that can be phrased in your article

What should you look for?

Keyword with LOW competition

Keyword Basics For Traffic And Sales Tips

Understanding Keyword Basics For Traffic And Sales

--------------------------------------------------------------
I have had quite a bundle of questions from fellow
bloggers about keyword and I think it's best to create this post as everyone else can get it.

First, guys, keyword research is serious and if you miss it, I can advice you buy Okada and leave blogging ;) . Keyword is the first thing that will give your blog a lift.

A blog with poor keyword research will end up sucking your time and keeping you discouraged. You are going to think that this thing works only for others.

Let's look at the 3 MATCH TYPES
1 - Broad Match
This is the most stupid match type you should go in for. It's a perfect time waster. Let me throw in an example: Keyword: Internet on blackberry phone Given that it's a broad match, it would also trigger for: 'Blackberry phone on Internet' and these are two different things. Any search made that contains all the word in the keyword (in any order) will
trigger your page. This is poor!

2 - Phrase Match
This is better but I still have a problem. This will trigger for other keywords that have words BEFORE and AFTER it. eg: Keyword: ebooks on wordpress security This could trigger for: buy ebooks on wordpress security, free ebooks on wordpress security, download ebooks on wordpress security,
ebooks on wordpress security download. There are still some elements of 'off target' here

3 - Exact Match
OMG! this is sweet and it's the money fetcher. You get the targeted visitors to your article. They will spend more time on your article.
They will hit the 'buy button'. They will leave that comment. Let's say you are writing an article that aims to sell Playstation 4
You may come out with a keyword like:
[buy Playstation 4] or [buy Playstation 4 in florida] It's important to understand these things even before you start writing.

Other things to look for:
- How many local/International searches are there per month
- How huge is the competition (PPC, article titles, article bodies)
- Search Trends NB: Search trends can be guided by events. For instance, christmas related keywords will have an upward curve towards december
and downward curve after december.

Ways To Generate Traffic With Twitter

HOW TO GET TRAFFIC FROM TWITTER

HEY GUYS, I FOUND THIS FROM AN ASSOCIATE ON
LINKEDIN AND I DECIDED TO SHARE...HOPE IT HELPS :D

Twitter is a micro-blogging platform. You can get a tons of traffic from twitter. As it is the most emerging platform with many users signing up with twitter to connect and socialise with their favourite people. And get their latest updates by following them. Here i am listing some ways which can help you get traffic from twitter.

#1 Pick a niche-targeted Username
Your username is very important, you need to pick a
username that is targetting your niche. For example if you are a web designer your username should be
creativewebdesigner or you are SEO specialist your
name should be SEOmaster etc.

#2 Make your Twitter profile interesting Your username and profile are the most basic things.
Your profile should be well built and you should design your profile landing page very well. If your landing page and profile is boring and incomplete then you can lose your followers.And nobody will show interest in you. Include short bio of yours and try to include Keywords in your profile.

#3 Put your site/blog URL in your profile. According to reports about 80% of users don't provide their URL in their profile. With this, i mean providing url you can get a backlink to your website apart from traffic.

#4 Send the link to your profile to your
associates,freinds and aquantainces Your freinds,co-workers and aquantainces are your most loyal audience.So invite them to join you on twitter.Send them email to make them aware of your twitter profile.

#5 Socialize on Twitter with users of similar
interests Try to follow users of your niche or similar interest. And retweet their tweets.Following users with similar interest will increase you to popularise among them and also you will get latest updates from them on your niche.

#6 Tweet regularly this is most needed.You should be active on your account. For that you should tweet regularly. Apart from posting links,you can tweet your daily activities but try not to spam your tweets by posting some unnecessary stuff like personal things,family issues etc.
