How To Make Sure A Keyword Is INSTANTLY Worth Your While!

9 September 2009 | Vadym

Howdy!

Today, I thought I’d share a keyword research techinque I personally use, and have proven to be flawless thus far.

Now, this may be new to some, and not so new to others, but the TOP way to decide if a keyword is profitable is to spy on the Pay-Per-Click ads of the keyword. Basically, leveraging PPC marketers in order to get a one-up on the competition. After all, we’re working smarter, not harder, right?

Obviously, if there are ads constantly being shown for a keyword, or better yet, the SAME ads are being shown for the keyword… well, they must be turning quite the profit, eh?

So, let’s get to it!

Step 1: Go to SpyFu.

Step 2: Type any keyword and hit the “Search” button.

Step 3: Look at the 2nd table with the title “Ads”.

Now, these ads are exactly a MONTH OLD. They have been up there a month ago, for this keyword :)

So… now you:

Step 4: Go to Google, and search for this keyword.

Step 5: Cross-reference the ads, and see if any are similar.

If a couple of the ads are the same, obviously, this means that the ads have been up for a while, and have been profitable for the PPC marketer.

So, that’s the entire method! Simple, yet it works!

And it works exceptionally well!

So enjoy!

How many monthly searches should I aim for?

I get this question at least once per day.

“Vadym, I know that we should be looking for little-competition terms, but what kind of searches monthly should I get to make it worth my while?”

My answer is, I don’t know. It’s UP TO YOU!

How many searches per month should a keyword have to make it worth your TIME and EFFORT that you spent on it?

Me, personally, it’s worth my time and effort to take 300+ searches a month keywords. Some, 1000 or less isn’t acceptable.

It all depends on how many you think are worth YOUR time to spend on.
