Depending on what your goal is plays a factor in choosing a niche – or what category your website is based off of. When choosing your niche you want to take a few factors into consideration:

• Is it something you are interested in?
• Will it sell? Can you profit from it.
• How much competition? High search’s and less competition/sites about it.

Never start a site about something that you have no passion for, Unless it is just to load up with information, slap some ads on, and leave to make a quick buck off of. Otherwise, you will grow bored of it within a couple of weeks and discontinue it.

Another concept is, will this niche make you money in the future? Would you be able to sell products, ads and similar things to the sort on it?

How much competition is on the net for this general niche? What you want to look for is a high search volume for related keywords with the least websites for it.

2 Overlooked SEO Tricks That Can Double Your Traffic

I thought this was an interesting article that I would share with you all.By

It’s no longer a secret that the way to get good ranking in the search engines is to build backlinks. But besides backlinks, there are two other SEO tricks that are important but often overlooked. These two factors can play a significant role in getting SEO traffic.

Today we are going to discuss these 2 overlooked SEO tricks that can easily double your search engine traffic.

1) Title That Clicks

If you are a blogger or content website builder, besides choosing the right keyword and optimizing it, you should spend some time to come out with a title that will entice people to click.

Think about it. Even if your website rank #1 in the search result, if the title of the link is boring, people will just skip your link and move on to the next result.

This is commonsense, but it’s often overlooked, especially for those who outsource article writing.

Personally, although I outsource article writing for my content websites (aka Adsense websites), I still put in the effort to rewrite every title personally. This is because freelance writers are good in writing, but they are often not good in writing juicy title.

I run a program where I help members to promote their Adsense website (membership closed). The method I use to promote their websites is the exact same method that I use to promote mine. But strange enough, my Adsense websites perform much better than theirs. Honestly I can’t think of a logical explanation except for the fact that my titles are juicier than theirs!

2) Turn Every Webpage Into A Resource Center

If you haven’t noticed, besides backlinks, Google has been putting more weight in the ‘resourcefulness’ of a webpage.

Note that I say resourcefulness of a ‘webpage’, not ‘website’.

The idea is this:

If your webpage is about headache, regardless of what your website is about, it would be good to have lots of other headache related articles (from the same website) linked to this webpage. This way, this webpage looks like a good resource center for headache.

Let me show you an interesting website that demonstrates this point:

Take a look at this webpage from Bigresources.com. This webpage, as well as other similar webpages in this website, has the following characteristics:

- All of them rank well in Google, especially in long tail keywords.
- None of them are unique content (they are syndicated from different forums).
- Every webpage contains lots of other internal links. More importantly, the links are in the same topic as this webpage. (In the example, this webpage is about javascript, update, div, frame. You can see that all the internal links in this page are related to these keywords.)

To Google, every webpage on this website looks like a great resource center where visitors can look for more information on the same topic.

Actually this is the internal linking strategy that Wikipedia adopts and it’s doing very well in the search engine. The difference between wikipedia and bigresources is that Wikipedia has unique content whereas Bigresources uses primarily duplicated content. But does Google care?

Understanding this point, when you design your website, you should make sure that the articles in the same topic are linked. This way, every single webpage in your website can look like a good resource center for that topic. For those who use Wordpress blog, this can be done by adding a ‘related post’ plugin. For static websites or other content platforms, you’ll have to think of ways to achieve the same effect.

Targeting Traffic To Your Page

Do you ever wonder how to targeted traffic to your website? First off you have 2 kinds of traffic, targeted and non-targeted. Non-Targeted traffic usually won’t stick around and if you are trying to earn revenue, you can forget it.

Targeted traffic is traffic that relates to what your site is related to. They are coming there for a reason. These people are interested in your website and give more of a chance on them purchasing something or even clicking on your ads. Make sure when you use advertisements on your website, that they relate to what your website is about or what the certain page might be about.

What about buying traffic?

In my opinion, you should never by traffic. Most of the time it is either bots, or non-targeted traffic. This is a waste of your money because these people will not stick around, will not purchase anything and more than likely will not click any of your ads. If you are trying to get traffic do it the right way. Organic traffic is the best kind that you can get.Organic traffic is traffic that come to your site through a search engine.

Okay, so how to I get free targeted traffic?

Here is one method I am going to explain using Article Directories and submitting articles to them.

First off you have to do some keyword research. You want to find some keywords that you can rank for easier that have low competition for them that are searched often.

When you are writing your articles, this is basic SEO here, use these keywords in your articles. Make sure you use a unique topic title and possibly put a keyword or 2 in it.

At the end of your article you have an option to add a resource box which lets you explain about yourself and put links back to your site in it. When you link back to your site, use anchor text. If you don’t know what anchor text is, view my previous article on Building Page Rank which discuss what they are and how to use them.

Now that you are done you can submit your article. It takes 1-7 days for them to be reviewed and published. Be sure to submit to directories that have a high Google Page Rank. Try to write a couple articles a day. You can maximize your results by submitting to a variety of high ranked Article Directories. Keep a look out on Google’s Page Results for your topic for it will usually come up in the top rankings.

Remember, when building your site, don’t give up! It takes time to build a good website and most people give up and move on to something new because they don’t see instant results. Down the road, you will see a big change.
