1. Find Keyword suggestions with Traffic Travis and Google Keyword Tool

I use this technique to get SEO traffic to my promotion pages. The ideal keywords for small business’ have 4.000 to 12.000 monthly searches in Google (see Google Keyword Tool screenshot below) and less than 10.000 “Exact” results or 2-3 easy competitors (loopholes) on page one in Google. If you have a high traffic website or blog you can try pages that are harder, but start here while you are learning the process.

The keyword should come from emotional driven online markets where people are  buying products and of cause they need to be closely related to the product you are promoting. Use Long tail “high desperation” keywords if you can find them. Like “how to get rid of….something”. Desperate people do not buy with their logic mind. It makes them less price sensitive, more impulsive and more influence able to buy now. They are also likely to type in what the problem is and not just a word or two. Product specific Keywords can also be very good – like “Traffic Travis” or “Traffic Travis Review”. If someone search specific for the product then there is a good chance that they are potential buyers.

First go to Google Keyword tool and find related keywords. It’s good if there is some competition because it tells us that other affiliates buy adverts and that there is people buying stuff, but competition should of cause be fair! If you need ideas you can type in the website address of a related website or the vendor product page.
