Finding Good Keywords For Product Oriented Websites

Posted on February 14, 2008

If you have a product reviews oriented website and are doing the keyword research with Wordtracker, you can sometimes run out of keywords too quickly.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say you have a tennis racquet reviews website and one of your main pages will contain Wilson tennis racquets.

So you go to Wordtracker to find out which Wilson racquets people search for:

Wilson on wordtracker

As you can see, you don’t have many useful keywords here since there are just a few models listed. You get a similar results if you search for wilson tennis or something like that.

I’ve been trying to catch up with the latest USEFUL articles in the blogosphere that will help you make more money and eventually become financially free.

Why USEFUL in all caps?

Well, in my humble opinion, there is so much information out there that’s just plain entertaining, link baiting with no real juice or just regurgitated articles of things written and told million times.

So here’s what I found and I recommend you read (and possibly download!):

1. Caroline Middlebrook has written an excellent ebook on How to create niche sites with a Wordpress blog. I’ve read the ebook and it’s excellent.

I am safely back from the SBI cruise which I attended in USA.

Sorry for the lack of useful posts but sometimes we have to take the really needed vacation.

And this post won’t give you any special ideas on how to become financially free but hopefully it will show you what kind of lifestyle you can afford with a successful online business on autopilot.

So let’s start the SBI cruise!

Bye bye Slovenia

Bye bye Slovenia! I am leaving for Paris and then for Miami on the 16th of January. I left Slovenia at 7.30 AM and arrived in Miami the same day at 5.00 PM! And lost 6 hours of time difference somewhere on the road… Read more

My Definition Of Success

I am writing this post on my Caribbean cruise on Freedom Of The Seas ship. Today I met many SBI-ers and Ken Evoy was the first to give an opening speech.

One thing that he asked everyone to do is to define success.

So here’s my version:

You are successful when you have reached the limit of your potential.

This is of course totally independent of everyone else.

And the most important thing to keep in mind is that we are all limited.

We are limited in our IQ, in our communication skills, in our ability to decide, in our ability to stay focused on a certain task and so on.

Some of this abilities or skills can be improved with practice and some cannot.

Bloggers Head To Head

I just learned of an fun contest between Tyler Cruz and Gyutae Park who are going head to head on who is the better blogger.

Actually the contest is about getting more RSS subscribers, more traffic and so on.

So it’s up to us to vote for one of them.

Well, I vote for Gyutae Park for two reasons:

1. The posts on WinningTheWeb are more useful to my interests. And I also liked the cutely disguised Adsense ad in the header.

You guys are so creative when it comes to making money with Adsense, I give you that.

2. Gyutae Park actually emailed me (although I know the main part of the email was copy / paste ) and I asked for my support.

So there you have it. You got my vote.

Site Build It Q&A

A friend recently contacted me about my online business, Site Build It and achieving financial freedom using SBI.

This post is the Q&A we had about all of the above and I encourage you to ask more questions about SBI or anything else in the comments below.

It makes it the easiest for me to come up with a useful post.

Q: Tomaz, what you write sounds fascinating! I have some questions:

In your high traffic sites I expect hundreds if not thousand of postings per subject, instead I see one or two, isn’t this pretty anemic for an high traffic site?

And example of this high count postings are tennis forums like:

http://www.tennis.com/messageboard/category-view.asp

http://www.menstennisforums.com/

A: The only way to really get that much content out there are forums where many other people write content for you.

How To Stop Global Warming - WATCH THIS!

Posted on January 12, 2008
Filed Under Recommended | 2 Comments

If you wonder how to stop global warming and want to do something about it, then watch this video.

I first came across this global warming debate video through Yahoo News and then I watched some of the associated videos on YouTube.

This video doesn’t really look like it’s on topic with financial freedom, but in the worst case scenario, money won’t really be the issue.

Your life will be.

So again; if you really want to know how to stop global warming you must first understand your choice and the consequences of it. (Hmm, sounds like Morpheus from Matrix…)

You can watch the video here on my blog or head straight to YouTube and watch it there with all the other associated videos from Greg Craven.

Oh, and if you have a blog and at least 1 reader, you can help spread the word!

Remember the risk of not taking action… ;(

GetAFreelancer.com Review

I’ve been using GetAFreelancer (GAF) lately and decided to write a review about the site and my experiences.

(Note: the links in this review are affiliate links.)

My first experiences with freelancers began with Elance.com a year ago and I was never 100% satisfied. I tried hiring writers and link builders and none of those were really good.I also didn’t get that many bids for my posted projects. (maybe I was just unlucky…)

I decided to test GAF a few months ago with a few smaller projects like outsourcing ten articles or getting a few links to some of my niche websites.

There are two things that I really liked about GAF:
