I must agree that Market Samurai is an excellent tool to assist you in choosing keywords. Analysis of data provided by this tool should help you determine how many keywords to target.

But remember, no matter how strong your keywords, you still need a product that people want to buy and you have to write effective copy to promote it utilising you chosen keywords.

You are definitely on the right track there Elly. Of course there are a lot of things to take into consideration, but the 3 you have listed are of vital importance

Hi Sean

Having read many of your articles now, I keep seeing three things emerge that are the key ingredients for a top ranking blog (correct me if I have this wrong please). You mention the three here and they are:
1. A few really good and select keywords
2. Great copy
3. A top product

I realise that there are many other elements to consider, after learning from you for 13 months that goes without saying, but I would say the product would need to be the first consideration above everything else? ( I didn’t list these in order of priority). Then keywords which I find the most challenging, can be tested out in the market. Using tips like you have given us here is really helpful. Thank you.

Hey guys,

I too use Market Samurai so it is good to see others commenting that it is a good tool.

I like the fact that it has a variety of functions in addition to having a keyword research tool which makes internet marketing so much easier!

Thanks, Sean, that clarifies it for me too. Writing a great article targeting the keyphrase and then using anchor text to backlink to that article. It’s making more sense now.
