Long Tail Keyword Research For Clickbank Products

Continuing on my bum marketing tutorial it is time to find some keywords. This I normally do all manually by using the Google Keyword tool and by doing Google searches.

Here is what we have done so far and what is left to do.

1. Find a Clickbank niche
2. Find great long tail keywords
3. Write a fairly decent article
4. Post on Ezinearticles
5. Pay Microworkers to Stumble my article on Ezinearticles
6. Rinse and repeat

I used to do this a different way but I am going to attempt a new approach. The first keyword that struck me was “how to write songs” which has 60,000 searches a month. So then I will do a search on the tool for that one to narrow it down some. Once I did a search for that I noticed the keyword “how to write your own songs” which doesn’t have too many searches but this is the type of keyword we are looking to target using bum marketing. Not to mention it would make an easy title to write an article about.

Now lets test the results in google. It returns 50 Million results which would normally turn a bunch of people off but you should never go by that number because it doesn’t help one bit. The reason the number is so high because of words within the keyword like “how”, “your”, and “own” which are used all the time.

Instead start out with a search with the term in quotes for an exact match. So 1.7 million pages on the internet use this exact term. That seems a little high for this but lets keep going. Next I will check how many pages have those words in the title. Only 74 which means to me that it wouldn’t be hard to rank for this keyword at all. Lets just take it back one step to the keyword that has 60,000 searches a month and do a search for that. Still not bad at all for that one which means we could possible get traffic from the better keyword.

Finally this is where I am going to try something new that I have noticed for awhile and that is just to judge the results of the first page by memory. So I did a search for the keyword and I see that there are 2 sites in the top 10 that I recognize which is wikihow and ehow. Sites that I am looking for are these types of sites including squidoo, blogger, wordpress, article sites, ect. If those sites are ranking well then I should be able to. That is ALL the research that I will do to make it very quick and should be effective.

Now that we have the keyword it is time to create the first article which I will cover in the next post.
