You may start your site building journey with ONE PRIMARY TARGET keyword – but it doesn’t end there!
If you’re following the 12 Step Success Strategy training here at Blogging Underground you should be building out simple sites that super serve your primary keyword target.
If your site is structured properly and you are using the Pages NOT Posts site structure you should be building sites that automatically do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
Make it easy on Google!
Having a good internal site structure with good internal linking helps make it easy for Google to figure out what your most important pages are and more importantly what keywords they should be ranking you for. Combined with a few good backlinks from the Blogging Underground “Announcement Blogs” and you’ll be ranking on top of Google faster than ever!
CHANGE is NOT always BEST
The home page should be a static page and deliver good relevant content for the exact keyword you are targeting so Google develops trust and your site gains a good reputation for that keyword.
A static home page makes it easier for Google to understand what PRIMARY EXACT MATCH KEYWORD your home page is about.
It’s importat to realize that you are NOT just targeting ONE keyword. Yes – you’re building the site to super serve that one keyword, but you should also create article pages targeting related secondary keywords.
To properly build out your site you need to start targeting related secondary keywords. Simply add new pages for your articles and then announce each new page with a post. Add a few posts in the Blogging Underground “Announcement Blogs” to further push your pages up in the rankings.
Over time you should be gaining trust and establishing a reputation for the exact match keyword you are targeting along with many related keyword phrases.
TRUST amplifies RESULTS
Look at the dog allergy site I built as an example in the Blogging Underground 12 Step Success Strategy Training Videos. After finding my exact match keyword in the Blogging Underground keyword research spreadsheets I then built this site from the ground up showing you all the steps and how I did it.
With just 7 article pages this site is already gaining many top rankings for hundreds of keywords. In the last 30 days free search traffic sent over 1,604 total visits from 298 different keywords.
Is your site hitting Critical Mass?
What’s so cool is that this traffic is for a small neglected site that doesn’t even have the 15 article pages it usually takes to hit Critical Mass. Critical Mass by the way is what I refer to when your site gains Google’s trust and they start ranking your pages for lots of related keywords.
BUILD OUT your site!
As you add more content and target more related keywords with article pages – your visits will go up and the number of keywords you recieve free traffic from will increase.
It’s not uncommon for sites that have 15 article pages or more to get traffic from 1,000′s of different keywords! If you follow the 12 Step Success Startegy and properly build out your sites you will have a great chance of success and will most likely hit critical mass.
Just don’t rush building out your sites and try to only do the things that you know Google likes. If you follow my training and only do the simple things that work – just like I did with the example site – you won’t need to spend a lot of time or effort getting your site to hit Critical Mass.
LOOK at my example sites stats:
Here are some SCREENSHOTS I took showing the rankings, keyword targets and traffic stats from Google.
The beautiful thing is that when you build out these sites and they start to hit Critical Mass you barely need to pay attention to them. They do everything on their own and only require an occasional tickle!
This site makes good money every month from Adsense and I hardly do anything with the site. In total I have probably spent less than 3 hours on it. And it is just starting to develop it’s magical powers.
You can make even more money from a site when you match up irresistable offers that go perfectly with the targeted traffic. You can promote your own products or suggest people buy stuff from your affiliate links.
Once you have some traffic coming in you can better improve your site and make adjustments so that conversions and profits go up.
Or you can just take the lazy approach and have Adsense ads do all the work for you. It’s generally not as profitable but it requires no work. Simply put in the ad code and Google shows the ads it thinks will get people to click.
That’s another reason by the way that our sites are so super focused on our target keywords. This helps Google show the best ads so we can make more money and get our share of the highest earnings per click.
If a site is NOT focused or all over the place it is more likley that DUD ads will show and no one will ever click them. Super serving our keywords helps Google Adsense to show better ads.
Keep Your Site Fresh (Tickle it!)
Keep adding new pages with articles when possible, and also regularly add short blog posts with newsy stuff so that Google sees the site is still fresh.
You don’t need to do this a lot – but you don’t want your site to go stale.
Blog posts are perfect for this and show new stuff is being added without harming the reputation of the home page and other article pages that are getting good rankings.
Whenever you add new content – also get a few links in the Blogging Underground blog network. It’ll help keep some juice coming in to your site so you stay on top.
Does Google love YOUR site???
Google loves sites that super serve a primary target keyword and have article pages with secondary keywords that are related.
If you give them what they like you will be rewarded with lots of top rankings for big money keywords and you will get lots of free targeted traffic.
As you can see, we don’t need to trick Google or do any of the sneaky stuff to get top rankings and traffic. All we need to do is build a good site serving the right keywords and get some good links coming in!
That’s exactly what we do here at Blogging Underground!
