I'm new to the SEO world but have discovered a few interesting techniques on gaining traffic.
I have a blogspot blog (started out of curiosity or more like an
experiment around 2-3 months ago) and after building 20 articles or so and experimenting with it i'm currently ranking :
31 out of 10 mil results for a pretty competitive keyword.
1-18 for around 5-6 keyword combinations (free, buy, get, find, etc + keyword)
I haven't had too much trouble getting these stats but i was wondering if it's worth it to get to 1-st page on all my 20 or so combo's based on google's adwords keywordtoolexternal tool. (i sorted the keywords who were getting the most traffic overall).
Since now i haven't been having a lot of traffic 20 people a day mostly refferals but i would like to see some organic targeted traffic. I can't imagine that this niche is all bad, since i'm trying to cover a lot of "topics" and according to google people do search those damn keywords.
Like i said before i would like this to be an experiment.. nothing more. I even took out Google Adsense after 12.5 $ :) and been thinking of creating a few affiliate sites if traffic is growing. Would you recommend blogs or sites with decent domain name?
Please feel free to enlighten me.
Not sure how creating affiliate sites relates to the blog - maybe that's a separate idea? Or maybe you want to be sure your skills are strong enough first? Whatever the case, we usually learn best by doing, so I say go for it now if you have the impulse. You will find that ranking for competitive, commercial e-commerce type searches is a different game than ranking for blog posts, but that's exactly what you'll learn by doing the project.
