Use Free Tools for Online Marketing

One of the first things you should learn as an affiliate marketer is how to do search engine optimization (SEO) keyword searches. If you want to optimize the content on your website and attract targeted customers who will be interested in what you have to offer, you must proceed with clarity and purpose to choose the most current keywords that will express the purpose of your site and draw good traffic. This will help you move up in the search engine rankings.

When you embark upon SEO keyword research, you should look at it creatively to save money and make the most of your resources. You can buy keyword software to help you, but you really don’t need to. There are many good, free keyword research tools available online. For example, Google AdSense has a good free keyword tool. Making frequent use of these free resources will help you keep your website content fresh and optimize your chances of getting good, targeted traffic.

Make keeping your website optimized and adding new content on a regular basis one of your top priorities. At least once a week, add a new article or piece of information to your site. Visit your keyword research site and enter the web address of the web pages you wish to optimize. Look through the resulting list of keywords.

As a small-to-medium business, you should choose a few keywords and keyword combinations that get a moderate amount of traffic. In this way, you will not be setting yourself up to compete with the “big dogs”. Instead, you will be targeting a smaller group of consumers who are searching for what you have to offer with slightly less popular (long-tail) keywords. This focus and clarity will support your success.

At the same time, post any new content and information you may have, and optimize it using the same method. By working in a regular consistent manner with clarity of purpose, you will gradually build a steady following of targeted customers who have a genuine interest in your product or service.
