How To Use Keyword Planner For Seo: Ultimate Guide, Reviews, Tools and Sources with Links

Hey everyone. So this is going to be a curated source of very insightful articles that will surely help you out as it helped me out in my ventures when creating niche sites for yourself or clients. Feel free, in the comments section, to post your links to wise articles, sources, reviews and tools of what helps you rank sites that add real value to this community.

Without further delay, here is:

How to use the keyword tool for search engine optimization.

Is Reading Grade Level a Google Factor?

It may come as a surprise to any seo guru on what you can learn when exploring this question. I personally was ignorant about it. Among many factors and algorithms that are already overwhelming to keep up with to try and know what influences page rank and or search engine result position of a site, I have found this amazing study by 2ndhive.com's wertwert (his user name on disqus.com), and he says as quoted:
"Personally, I think the readability algorithm is flawed because it is based on the notion that words with fewer syllables are more readable. But if we went to a 5th grade class and asked the students to define “cartoon” and “cherub” I know which one they will get wrong more often and they are both two syllable words. The algorithm does not account for how commonly words are used. Also if you went back 150 years the results of my example would probably be reversed." - source: http://2ndhive.com/is-content-reading-grade-level-a-google-factor/
I have also found this article super useful with a list of over 204 google ranking factors. It will surely help you start having an actionable plan and strategy to improve the ranking of your websites and let me tell you, that it ain't the classic backlinks-and-lots-of-original-unique-content-because-content-is-king kinda crap. I love how +Brian Dean eloquently simplifies otherwise complex notions in his curated ranking factors article on backlinko.com. Here's a snippet of what I found super useful in my research about relevancy signals:

"2. Keyword Appears in Top Level Domain: Doesn’t give the boost that it used to, but having your keyword in the domain still acts as a relevancy signal. After all, they still bold keywords that appear in a domain name.

13. Keyword in Description Tag: Another relevancy signal. Not especially important now, but still makes a difference.

14. Keyword Appears in H1 Tag: H1 tags are a “second title tag” that sends another relevancy signal to Google, according to results from this correlation study by http://cbutterworth.com/do-h1-tags-still-help-seo/:

Do H1 tags help SEO rankings
photo sourece: http://backlinko.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/h1_ranking_study.png

15. Keyword is Most Frequently Used Phrase in Document: Having a keyword appear more than any other likely acts as a relevancy signal.

19. LSI Keywords in Title and Description Tags: As with webpage content, LSI keywords in page meta tags probably help Google discern between synonyms. May also act as a relevancy signal.

24. Image Optimization: Images on-page send search engines important relevancy signals through their file name, alt text, title, description and caption.

28. Keyword Prominence: Having a keyword appear in the first 100-words of a page’s content appears to be a significant relevancy signal.

29. Keyword in H2, H3 Tags: Having your keyword appear as a subheading in H2 or H3 format may be another weak relevancy signal. SEOMoz’s panel agrees:

H2 tags for seo ranking
photo source: http://backlinko.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/h2tag_image_seomoz.png

32. Outbound Link Theme: According to SEOMoz in http://www.seomoz.org/blog/external-linking-good-for-seo-whiteboard-friday, search engines may use the content of the pages you link to as a relevancy signal. For example, if you have a page about cars that links to movie-related pages, this may tell Google that your page is about the movie Cars, not the automobile.

49. Page Category: The category the page appears on is a relevancy signal. A page that’s part of a closely related category should get a relevancy boost compared to a page that’s filed under an unrelated or less related category.

50. WordPress Tags: Tags are WordPress-specific relevancy signal.  According to Yoast.com in their article on http://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/#tag-optimizatio:

    “The only way it improves your SEO is by relating one piece of content to another, and more specifically a group of posts to each other”

Can You Make A Profit With Bring The Fresh Review by The Rich Jerk: Kelly Felix

As I was looking around to find a good marketing plan and method to make a little bit of extra income on the side from all my website ventures, (as always) I stumbled upon one of these forum slash websites that promises amazing results and incredible knowledge plus an action plan that goes with it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for a great method with steps to follow, and even follow up emails to guide and upsell me some products, software, and search engine techniques.

One of them was the "bring the fresh" knowledge base forums and internet marketing community you join, launched by Kelly Felix from "The Rich Jerk" a few years back. You quickly learn some common sense in this dog eat dog digital world. Some of it is obviously promoting someone's product with by pre-selling it through your website's traffic, your email subscribers, social media, or media buy techniques, be it Adwords, Buysellads or other.

One questions I always ask myself is: Can I make a profit despite the cost of this product, and another is: Is it worth the effort and time. Bring the fresh is not a secret sauce or software or advanced technique, but rather a community of people whom you will learn a lot of great internet marketing techniques for your passive income journey. Here is something I can tell you:

One of the mistakes of some affiliates on the internet is that they do not do the promotion of affiliate product but sell it. Be aware that your role is not to sell the product because you are not the seller and it is up to him to do so.

All you need to do is create a pre-purchase or pre selling State in the mind of the customer. Push them in the right direction to want to buy whatever you advise them without however having anything to sell yourself.

In doing so you pass not only as an adviser but as someone who has already maybe tested the product and wish to recommend it to others. This way you will benefit from it, because your visitors may purchase the product as soon as they will arrive on the sales page for the product in question, thou it be say Bring The Fresh or some other affiliate product that you can get commission off of. In fact there are 4 important things that you must consider before writing your presale page to be successful online.

(1) first of all, you must know your goal. What is the purpose of your presale, and what kind of response do you expect from your prospects? Most people can say that their presale page is simply a page that builds a bridge to the provider of the sales page, but that is what most of the other affiliates could do.
A more effective strategy might be to slowly begin to build an email subscriber list and provide value to their list by offering them a good solid content. Finally, they are connected with you and are more inclined to buy through your affiliate link that you established apart from your competitors. (don't be afraid to share personal events or stories to create a human touch and relationship)

(2) Secondly, you will need to know your target audience. The affiliate who is able to understand more their perspective is one that will make more sales and get better conversions.

Some things that you might need to know is their gender, their age, their problems, their profession, their average income and more. A way to get all this information by visiting web sites search and Quantcast.com. It will tell you the demographic characteristics of visitors to the site in particular; good for affiliates who want to learn more about their prospects.

Let's say that you have identified the major profile of your future customer, such as a white middle class woman average in her late 30s who is sick and tired of looking for ways to supplement her income with a new online blog. Knowing this, you can better shape your page and write a killer headline that really speaks for her.

(3) Thirdly, you need to know more details about the affiliate product you're promoting. Or if you have your own product, make sure you know why your product was created, how it was done, who did, and who has it. When you know such details, this will allow you to better prepare you to write your presale page.

(4) and finally, you must infiltrate the benefits of that product or service. Remember the list of benefits, not features.
A feature is what the product is (for example: makes you lose 15 pounds in 5 days) while an advantage is the function that it will do to solve their problem (for example: lose 15 pounds in 5 days so you can run around with your dog or kids, or travel the world..). There is a big difference between them and most of the prospects do not like the characteristics of the product, they focus only on what it can do for them.

With the Bring The Fresh product, there is a lot of common sense that you can learn. Don't expect to become a rich jerk like Kelly Felix did by following 100% of what he says, but rather be smarter, think outside the box and OBSERVE what he is doing, and Do it yourself.

As a personal note: The shortcut to success is to learn as fast as you can, that hard and smart work pays off, and shortcuts don't always work.

This proven methodology provides the complete range of possible actions for SEO: it identifies factors punitive and levers to operate to optimize your visibility on the current state of your website and its main pages.

Each of these steps are completely severable: however we recommend that you follow the following diagram:
Course for a visibility strategy

  • Technical audit: identify the level of optimization
  • Strategic analysis of the semantic relevance
  • Rapid analysis of the notoriety of the site on social networks
  • Establishment of a progressive backlinking campaign phase

First step: a detailed audit that puts the focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the site to promote. A point is then written on the current state of the project and the advancements: through a phase of advice's recommendations are established to the client. This is to identify the factors that penalize your web site and to provide a technical solution to each specific problem. The way the HTML is generated or the general architecture of the distribution of links on your pages are analyzed. An exhaustive list of the points to change or improve you is then given: this technical audit is intended to optimize the accessibility of your web pages to the search engines like Google.

Although recommended, this benefit is an integral part of the service provided by SEO consultant: study and specifically analyze a site and its problems. It is therefore quite possible to run a SEO campaign without going through this phase of optimization.

Once the technical proposals and editorial of the phase of consulting adopted, step of SEO or netlinking can then start. Depending on your goals and the key words you are targeting, we can here also bring you tips and suggestions for a better return on investment.

A SEO contextualised, so more efficient
SEO support
Available and on constant standby, Simon Tripnaux can answer all your questions by email and detail points that you seem complicated to understand. Actions can be followed with simple tools for a clear vision of the situation.

By definition, an expert SEO's business will bring his knowledge to enhance the content of existing web pages, take a new look on the real added value of the project, analyze the popularity of the site target in its competitive environment as cultural. Its tasks are both in an audit situation and the adaptation of the recommendations to the realities of the company: make the link between the skills internally, external service providers and policy makers, for example.

A strong web culture focused on results, that is what we propose major accounts as at the SOHO / SME of all sizes. SEO geocoding, in a defined territory or for one-time transactions thus makes perfect sense in the context of optimization of resources. There is no need to position a website on market places in which a client can not operate: visitors to Lyon are not a potential target for the craftsman or the architect of the Paris region, in most cases.

Negative Seo: Five Dollar Marketing

Negative Seo services: Fiverr Seo gigs that work!

So I have yet to meet one person who simply had an idea to launch a site, spent 5$ on online marketing and had attracted an amazingly qualified and demographically targeted audience or web traffic if you will. But hey, I may be wrong. Most website owners, though it be for a business or a product, have it in their nature to pay the least and get the most results, something some call the most effective and scalable return in investment (ROI). Well for your invested effort, time or money to be most optimally used, you need everything to be measurable, somewhat predictable and preferably scalable to a greater level. Wow! Ain't that the most fine-dine way to say: you get what you pay for?!

Well what do you think that you will learn in marketing school that you think will give you an edge in your marketing career, which you can use in the real life. Or rather the web world. Yes.. That was kind of a question. My answer is: not much can be achieved without your nature to think outside of the box. Be creative, guerilla marketing style like a real goon, and here comes the negative Seo idea. I like to call it my five dollar marketing.

So what you do is take calculated risks. Start 3 similar free blogs, similar articles in each wih similar keyword densities, but if one becomes successful, make sure real people get real unique amazing content. Like the Disney Pixar movie Robots: see a need, fill a need. Find 2 amazing blogs or websites that are in the same market or niche. Go to fiverr, pick5 gigs for your Seo campaign, order 1 per site, with the best and long tail keyword for your three new blogs, and pick competitive and hard to rank for short tail (if that's even a thing) for the two really known blogs, but also include the name of your new blogs as anchor texts to those well established ones.
