Wink Pick a keyword, any keyword!

Alrighty everyone, it's time to play the serps. I need a hand though, or at least a few suggestions. I want to see how quickly I can get a blog post on the first page of the google serps, but I don't know what keywords to use.

All I need are your keyword suggestions, but here's the rules:
Must be long-tail: at least 3 words,
No 'adult' terms,

That's really about it. Just post your suggestions, and follow along with this thread to see the results.

I'm not going to plug any particular softwares - but there are several that will do this job

what they do is dig deaper into the competition - not just raw numbers - they calculate the real likelyhood of you getting top rankings by checking out the sites currently getting the top rankings

so you enter a search phrase and the software checks to see how many of the top ranking sites use the phrase in the title, description, keyword, URL, how many backlinks the ranking pages have, keywords in backlinks, etc.

you can do it manually up to a point - just enter a phrase in google's search box and check out the first 10 results - is your keyword phrase used in the title? - if hardly any of the top 10 listings have the keyword phrase in the titles then you stand a good chance of getting a top 10 ranking if you use the keyword phrase at the beginning of the title - and also use the phrase in the description and keyword metatags - and use the phrase at the beginning, middle, and end of the blog post

choosing a phrase without millions of competing results also helps!

Hi,

I checked out your blog and see you are interested in make money online keyword phrases

here are 3 relatively easy make money phrases - chosen because if you start the titles, description, and keywords off with the search phrase - and include the phrase at the beginning, middle and end of the post, then you should get top rankings (not too many people have thought to start off their title with the phrase)

you may have to also use the phrase in at least one hyperlink pointing to your post page - from forum post, blog comment, social network page, etc.

good luck

a few points here regarding keyword competition

when your site has been around for a few years and is trusted by google - and google "automatically" ranks your new content high in the results pages within a few days, then things will be a lot quicker and easier regarding not having to worry about the competition - but until then you can either spend hours selecting a handful of keywords or buy a keyword list from a SEO - or pay out the hundreds of dollars and buy the software the SEO's use - or join an expensive monthly keyword research service

you have to start off with low competion phrases - you can't get anywhere with a young site without having an edge

low competion does not have to be low monthly search volume - my favourite is finding phrases where other webmasters have been lazy or simply do not know any better - they have not optimized title, description, keyword, content, for the target phrase - and they certainly don't know about keyword hyperlinks pointing to the optimized page

simply put - outsmart the competion with clever keyword research
