Looking For A Victory

I searched up some of the keyword terms, on Google.com,  I had content made for on one of my niche sites and didn’t find my site in the first 100 results. I don’t know if google has something blocking my own stuff from showing up for me or not but I checked Bing and Duckduckgo and did find my site ranking below 100 for the same terms.

I am not getting tons of traffic or any sales from the traffic but I am getting ranked in some search engines and I am not paying to get ranked.

I have been trying to do the whole process of putting up a new site, on an expired domain that already has keywords ranking, and targeting low competition words with high number of searches and having them get ranked and sending me traffic that is hungry for my offers. It isn’t easy and it isn’t going as planned.

I have decided to focus on getting my content ranked for keywords that get lots of searches and have low competition. Once I can get traffic regularly coming to my site, without relying on PPC that I have had no luck with either, then I can start phase 2 which is to start offering affiliate products to the visitors.

Since no one is reading my stuff or downloading my keyword reports that I release I will continue to show my research and tell you what I am targeting, how I am targeting it and what results I am getting.

This post is inspired by my research for profitable keywords regarding the Forex market that I have a niche site being worked on to target that market. I had it before I started following a plan so I have content on the site. It is an expired domain I picked up and it has backlinks but no ranking keywords. The backlinks are not even good. They are mostly spam or stuff trying to sell the domain from before it was mine.

Now I am tasked with finding profitable niche terms to drive targeted traffic to my site and convert them into customers of products that I get a commission for selling. There is also the option of putting Adsense on the site in which case my strategy of just driving traffic should be enough since many of the terms are competitive or will be triggering the competitive ads from forex advertisers.

I have a word document open now and I’m taking notes from a course I have that details how to do keyword research to find the right keywords to promote affiliate products for profit. I am trying to rank and profit and I don’t even know how to write very well yet. I have lots of work to do and I have lots to learn before I can be the guy to go to for info. I will be able to put content up that generates traffic though. I will find out what it takes to get visitors to my site and then I will figure out how to make money from them.

I have to document what I’m doing and even that turns into an ordeal for me. I have to research how to make a pdf an dthen figure out if I upload it to this site as content that may even get ranked or if I find a way to put it in an unlisted, private spot and release it to subscribers to an email list, or BOTH!

Like I stated earlier, I will report to my readership what I am having success with and what I am failing in.

I have some realizations from old stuff I was doing and I have a better understanding of how to do what I want which is to rank on the first page of google for a keyword search term.

Be on the look out for my progress.
