Keyword Research is a MUST if you ever want to make money online. Bad keyword research leads to little or no traffic online and that in turn leads to no money at all.
For quite sometime, I ignored this fact until bored out of my freaking mind I decided to download Courtney Tuttle and Mark Butler’s The Keyword Crash Course.
This free e-book was an eye opener so was the information on their blog. I took time out to study their report and using what I learnt on my new posts, I was able to get a few posts into the first page of Google all be it in the 8th-10th position.
Till today, it remains the most detailed free report I’ve ever read on keyword research and I highly recommend you get it.
Hopefully as I get better at it, I will be able to get my posts to the top of the SERPS.

Hi Udegbunam, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving very informative comments! I thought I will return the favor
!
I too have found that good keyword marketing research is vital if you want to get some traffic from the search engines. It’s simple on-site SEO! I have also written a couple of posts about it on my blog, how I do my keyword marketing research. Keyword Marketing Research – How to pick a winner Picking the right keywords is always the best start to proper search engine optimization.
Sweet heart, thanks for dropping by. I’m glad you did. You’ve got to use some basic html skills so as to get the most out of links you leave in comments. A link without an anchor text doesn’t draw attention as much as a link with a great anchor text thus I’ve changed the link in your comment for you. As you already know with a good anchor text, you can also rank for a particular keyword, if the link is a dofollow one.
@Udegbunam, thanks for the tip! I usually do use anchor text for my links (wherever I can) – I don’t know what I did wrong here! But thanks for changing it
@Petra: You’re most welcome.
Hi,
I really like your blog but your posts are short with so many affiliate links.
Now to the topic, I am also of the view that keyword research is the key to unlocking traffic and consequently making anything of your online money making quest.
@Paul Onwueme: Thanks for stopping by. I recognised the name from NaijaEcash.
My posts aren’t filled with affiliate links. The only PAID affiliate links I have on this blog are the ones for Netfirms and Hostgator.
If you care to notice, other affiliate links here on this blog lead to free ebooks which I cannot otherwise upload to my site and offer as a direct download cos the author makes it a no no as he/she wants people to subscribe to his list before downloading.
I post them mainly cos of the free content not cos of the backend offers.
P.S: I’m downloading your blog posts to my rss feed reader @ the moment and will leave a comment on posts that interest me. Do have a wonderful day
I’ve read that report, and indeed it was an eye opener. It is one of the resources that set me free from slaving at bookmarking sites for traffic. I have learnt to research keywords that people are searching for and write posts on them. That way, the search engine will send searchers to my website.
But then, that is one aspect of the job. The second aspect is the most difficult. In other to be in the first page of the Search engine report, you will need to beat the competing websites that are struggling for the same keyword.
For example, it has been a tough battle for my website to rank first for the keyword NIGERIAN ENTREPRENEUR. Sometimes, it sits on number one, at other times it drops to number 2. My competitor has an advantage because his domain name contains the keyword.
Nonetheless, SEO is the best source of traffic I have ever seen. Cheers.
@NaijaEcash: Boy am I glad you took time to read this report and then comment on it. That way people will stop saying that I’m fond of posting useless affiliate links.
Staying at number one in Google is something that demand a lot of dedication especially with regards to creating continuous dofollow backlinks.
Right now I’m analyzing my best performing posts and creating backlinks to them so that they’ll serve as the doorways to my blog from Google.
Best of luck man.
P.S: As at this moment you are currently in spots 1 and 2 of the 1st page of Google.
I agree with you about keywords research, however I have been lucky to get some of my posts to google’s SERPs number one page without doing any keyword research.
I just simply followed the advise of steve pavalina who said before writing for search engines write for people in other words write informative and high quality articles first then network with people who will find those articles useful even if you don’t have specific keywords in mind
@Paul Onwueme:It’s possible to land on page one of Google’s SERP without keyword research but the problem is how long you are going to stay there. Most folks don’t even know that they rank number 1 for certain keywords and that’s where competitors swoop in to displace them from the top spot with pages fully optimized for that particular keyword.
Steve Pavlina is right but then you can master the art of writing for people and the search engines as well. It’s all about using your keywords in your post titles, post url, post content etc.
Keyword research works and has been showing results with my most recent blog posts.
Good keyword research is I think the most vital aspect of internet marketing success. I’ve wasted more time and money than I care to think about making poor keyword choices.
