Keyword Selection and Anchor Text

I will need to use a hypothetical example here, but let us say you have ten primary keyword phrases that you are using to improve search engine rankings for. Let us also assume you haveten pages on your website that are specifically related to each of those respective terms.

What you want to do is link to the exact page (the most relevant for the term) using the exact phrase (or broad match phrase) as anchor text from the website linking to you.

For example your website is about Dog Training. You have a page on Dog Training Advice and you want to get high search engine rankings for that term.

You want the anchor text of your link to say Dog Training Advice, and you want to link directly to the most relevant page on your website related to that i.e. /dog-training-advice.htm

The same goes if you were targeting the term Dog Training Techniques. You would get the website linking to you to use that exact term Dog Training Techniques as the anchor text and link to the most relevant page on your website i.e. /dog-training-techniques.htm

If its not possible to have the exact terms as anchor text (for whatever reason) then a broad match is the next best thing. For example Free Dog Training Advice or Dogs Free Training Information and Advice as you still have all the target terms contained within the anchor text.

You should try to do this as much as possible
because two things will happen.

It increases the relevancy of the individual pages within your website for their respective strategic keyword terms. This will help increase each pages individual search engine rankings.

It increases the overall theme relevancy of your entire website strengthening the entire website as an authority on the subject of Dog Training.

What I mean by the later is that whilst one link passes relevancy for the term Dog Training Advice, the other is doing the same for the term Dog Training Techniques. Combined (and via the internal linking structure of your website / blog) this is going to pass relevancy for the main term Dog Training as a whole, back to your websites home page.

Similarly, if youre going to link to your home page directly as part of your incoming link building campaign (and you should), then youd be best to use the anchor text Dog Training where ever possible because the reverse happens.

Youll then be passing that relevancy down into your internal pages via your internal linking structure further helping all of those individual pages related to Dog Training ANYTHING.

Obviously its not always possible to be so specific sometimes you dont have the flexibility depending on where your incoming links are coming from and the truth is you dont need to be 100% of the time. But if you use it as a general rule and implement this as much as possible then youll get a much better result.

Consider this: What is the number one reason people get online everyday? You probably already guessed that it’s to find information. Google alone serves up 400 million searches per day! So what does this mean to you? Well, this is an opportunity for your to provide what people want – information. And if you do it right . . . to make some money along the way.

Info marketing 101

This is by far the simplest business you can start. You take information and turn it into a digital product – like and ebook. And people pay you for the information inside it.. It couldn’t get much simpler.

How do you make it work?

You’ve got the basic concept – exchange info for money. But to make it a successful business there has to be value in the info you’re selling. So the key is to figure out what people want. How do figure that out?

One easy way to figure it out is with a simple search. Head over to ask.com or Yahoo! answers and look at the questions being asked there. You want to find something a lot of people are asking about. That people are having trouble solving. And solve the problem for them by writing an info product on it.

Think about this:

If you’re worried about how to write and ebook. Put it this way: An ebook is just a series of articles. So instead of sitting down to write the whole thing. Just write some articles for your blog. And when you’ve got a few finished, refine and expand on them and put them together into an ebook.

Why info products? Funny you should ask . . . How about 7 reasons why:

1. Simplicity

As soon as you have the pieces in place, it’s virtually maintenance free. Custom support is all but non-existent. Which means there nothing for you to actually *do*. You’re building a completely automated business.

You have no physical inventory. There’s nothing to ship. It’s digital.

2. Product combos

Once you have a few info products created. You can combine them together to create new high ticket products. It’s a simple matter to merge a few ebooks into one. And you’ll be able to charge much more for this “new” product. People will be willing to pay a lot more for one big ebook. As opposed to a bunch of little ones.

3. Resellers

You can grant other people resell rights to your own products. Resell rights are very hot right now, because it’s much easier to get the resell right than to make your own product. And what’s more you can charge double, even triple your selling price for resell rights!

4. Leverage

It’s your content, so you can use it in as many different ways as you want. Take parts of your info product and turn it into a email training series. You can use this to build a list that you can marketing to again and again.

5. More leverage

You can also take parts of your ebook and turn it into smaller eBooks. Then use these to generate leads for the main product. You can give them away or even charge a small amount for them. And you’re creating targeted leads for your main product all along. Taking this technique to the max, you can let your affiliate give the reports away for you. Wait, did I say “affiliates”?

6. Affiliates

This is one of the biggest reasons of all. Once you have your own product. You can get other people to promote it for you. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bunch of other people doing your marketing for you? You can’t do this unless you have your own product.

7. Joint Ventures

OK, this is by far the biggest reason why. Joint ventures are the biggest short cut to success known to man. That makes this is the biggest reason for creating your own info products. Because if you don’t have you own product, you’ve got nothing to JV.

Summary

If you’re not convinced to start selling information products, then you’ve probably been sleeping. With your own info product you can write your own ticket. Because it’s your business and you control it. So, don’t waste any more time:

• Visit an “answers” site
• Discover what questions are being asked
• Start providing information

The steps on how to write aninfo product are really that easy. And in short time you’ll have the foundation for your own info product.

Have Some Fun

Three SEOs were plotting their strategies one evening late into the night when they all fell asleep. In their dreams they were visited by a sweet and beautiful fairy god-mother named Matticia. You have all been so good, abiding by search engine guidelines, you may each have one wish, Matticia said softly.

The first SEO thought quickly and said, I wish I had a magical link building pen. Every request I send out will get a link back.

Matticia waved her wand, sparkling stuff came flying out the end, and the first SEO felt a tingly sensation all up and down. A pen appeared in the first SEOs hand.

The second SEO said, I wish I had a magical Mirror of Link Baitiness. I want my Web sites to be so beautiful people will always link to their natural beauty.

Matticia waved her wand again, and sparkly stuff went flying around the second SEO, who felt all tingly deep inside. A mirror appeared in the second SEOs hand.

In the morning, the three SEOs woke up all excited. The first SEO looked down and saw Matticias pen. Look! the first SEO said. With this magic pen Ill always be able to get whatever links I ask for!

The second SEO held up the mirror and said, But I will never have to ask for links again. People will always link to the natural beauty of my Web sites.

They then looked at the third SEO, who glanced downward and shuffled his feet. Well? said the first SEO. Yeah, what did you wish for? the second SEO asked.

Nah, you wouldnt want to know, the third SEO told his friends. They insisted they wanted to know what Matticia did for him. Really, you dont want to know, he replied. But the first two SEOs demanded to know what wish Matticia had granted to the third SEO.

Well, he said slowly, You both had such great ideas I figured I wouldnt be able to out-optimize your sites. So I asked Matticia to 301-redirect all your sites to mine.
