Keyword Help – Why Keyword Tools Are Not the Answer For Newbies

Are you searching for keyword help?

If so, you have definitelycome to the right place!

How many times have you heard that? I press the back buttonwhen I hear it!

Please read this carefully, this is not another offer of a get rich quick scheme, it is from the heart.

I was struggling to make some money online for approximately 12 months, paying out again and again for what always appeared to be answer to my prayers.

Every course had a missing piece, and I will be honest with you, I almost gave up a million times. My PC nearly landed on the back lawn, and I was so frustrated that I could not crack the code.

I searched Google for all the terms that I thought would return me an answer, with no luck.

The biggest problem is that the “gurus” have forgotten what it was, that they did not know when they first started internet marketing, and therefore many of the programs and courses are unwittingly geared for semi-experienced marketers, even though they are labelled “for newbies”.

I now understand where the problem lies.

Keywords are easy to understand if you understand them!

Once you do, you will have an ‘Aha’ moment.

All of the courses begin by explaining about keyword research and how it will affect everything that you do online. They explain that a keyword is something that a searcher puts into Google to find a product, service or information, they even explain about how the long tail keywords are more targeted and generally have less competition.

All of this is true, unfortunately, they then skip forward to using keywords in title tags, keyword density, LSI, paid keyword tools etc. and before you know it, you are led into building your first site, whether it’s a squeeze page, a blog, or a Squidoo lens. Then often times,to make it exciting, you will be encouraged to use pay per click to get quick results!

Using AdWords or anypay per clickmarketing is certainly not for beginners, not until you get this next bit anyway…

Until recently, I honestly thought that I knew what keywords were, how to use them, where to put them and so on (after all, I had a Grammar School education) I was mistaken. I think the better suited candidates for this online marketing are students that have attended the ‘University of Life’.

You can purchase all the paid keyword research tools out there, BUT unless you have a clear understanding of the basics, you will never succeed as a marketer online.

The other thing I would like to add to that last statement is that unless you are trained to think outside the box, or it comes naturally to you, no paid tool will help.

Here is an example, which I hope will help.

If you were considering going into one of the the health niches, and you chose panic attacks, the first thing that you would probably plug into the keyword tool would be ‘panic attacks’

This would return a long list of keyword phrases related to panic attacks.

(At this stage I am going to assume that you intend to promote a cure or solution)

Next you would look at the results, and most likely be drawn to keywords involving the words help, cure, solution, stop, and therefore find very few keyword phrases with a decent search volume and low competition. (you will wonder where this low hanging fruit is)

I made this mistake and continued to try to promote my free report called “Stop Your Panic Attacks Forever”

When I look back now, nobody was going to search ’stop your panic attacks forever’ were they?

‘Stop my panic attacks forever’ maybe. There was my first mistake.

The fact is that there are more searches related to panic attacks that are questions, ‘Am I having a panic attack’ for instance or ‘why am I having palpitations’ which would not necessarily be returned in the results.

This is what I mean by thinking outside the box.

Think of the symptoms of a panic attack and research those keywords,for example: palpitations, breathlessness, trouble breathing, trembling, shaking etc.

If youalready understand this,where were you whenI needed keyword help?
