Circumnavigation Complete

Just finished going completely around the world in 1 month. We went to hong kong from new zealand, then london via munich, then amsterdam, then madrid via munich Then we took a 15 day tour from madrid through the south of spain, morocco, then back up to portugal. From portugal we flew to new york via frankfurt, then from new york we went to honolulu via los angeles, then across the dateline to new zealand. We left honolulu at quarter to 10 on friday night, and arrived in new zealand at quarter to 6 sunday morning... how trippy is that? Totally lost saturday due to the 23 hour time difference between hawaii and new zealand.

Now that that wonderful and exciting holiday is complete, it's time for me to get back to work (if you can call it that lol). So expect some more quality posts from tomorrow onwards when my brain is actually functioning.

Thanks for reading :)

Goodbye

Im going to hong kong tonight, then to europe, america and then hawaii. I will be gone for a month, so if anyone triest to contact me just point them to this post :)

The trip will be completely computer free so im not tempted to work. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year all :)

Evidence of my Research Methods Working.

Hi all, figured you would like to see an example of one of my sites to see if my research methods do actually work. I've always wanted to show off my results but dont because i dont want any more competitors of course. However, I decided today to give an exception to my one week old site: www.TranceMix.org. As you may know i only buy domains with the exact match keyword i am trying to target in them, so theres one of my niches "trance mix". If you have a look at google's external keyword tool you will notice that the exact keyphrase gets about 60,500 searches a month, so finding the .org was very lucky. I bought the domain last friday and built it up whilst hosting it on blogger (i dont see the point in paying for hosting niche sites).

If you do a google search for the broad term: trance mix, you will see that i am on the bottom of the first page. Google put trancemix.org on the first page on thursday, so in under a week i got on the 1st page of google for a term that gets 60,500 exact searches a month, cool huh?

The only SEO i have done with this site is what you see on the site, the domain, the post titles, and the use of the keyword "trance mix" in my posts. Clearly on-page seo is THE most important part of seo, google wants sites with content related to certain search terms. Oh yeah, you know how those gurus say you should search for your keyword in speech marks to find the competition? Well clearly by my results this is complete bullshit, i did a search with speech marks for trance mix and got 1.1million results, 1.1million competitors. The gurus would tell you that this keyphrase is too hard to rank for because of the buttload of competitors, haha what a joke.

The real competitors are the sites on the first page, and if you can have more content related to your keyword(s) and more relevant backlinks then you will be number one. Simple, dont let the gurus confuse you so you buy more of their shit products.

How To Use The Google External Keyword Properly

Hi all,

I'm sure when most people start out in the SEO game they don't know what tool to use to find good keywords to rank for, and how to use said tools. The best keyword research tool is Google's External Keyword Tool. Before I get into the different match types, please make sure you know which countries you want your visitors to come from.

When you are on Google's External Keyword Tool page, the first option you will see is to tailor search results to specific countries or territories. Select which countries you want your visitors to come from (i choose All countries and territories unless im geotargetting). Once you've set your countries and/or territories, Google's External Keyword Tool will only show the monthly search numbers for those countries and/ord territories you have set.

Ok, now that the country tailoring is sorted let's move on to match types.

When you enter a keyword or keyphrase into Google's External Keyword Tool there will be a drop down menu above and to the right of your keyword results titled "Match Types:". Click on the drop down menu and you will see that there are four different match types: Broad, Phrase, Exact, Negative.

When you select the Broad match type google will show you how many times per month your keyphrase has been searched. However, google will also include into it's search traffic calculations different combinations of your keyphrase. For example, if your keyphrase is 'spongebob squarepants movie', then google will also include different combinations such as 'spongebob movie squarepants', 'movie spongebob squarepants'. On top of this, google will also include search results for all the words in your keyphrase plus other keywords. For example: 'where can i find the spongebob squarepants movie' will be included in google's external keyword's results. This is why the broad match search volume will be larger than any other match type. Don't use broad match for your keyword research.

When you select the Phrase match type google will only show search volume results for your keyphrase without the different combinations. However google will still show you search volume results for your keyphrase plus any other keywords. So, even though phrase match type is more accurate than broad, dont use it.

When you select the exact match type google will only show the search volume for your exact keyphrase without different combinations and additional keywords (modifiers). This means that if you rank number one for this keyphrase, your site listing in google for that keyphrase should get x number of views depending on what the search volume is for your phrase. This is what you want to use for accurate search volume results.

The negative keyword option just shows you the additional keywords i have mentioned above. These are known as keyphrase modifiers. You won't need to worry about negative keywords if you are focussing on exact match keywords as they are irrelevant.

If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a pm on bhw or comment here.

Peace.

List of 16 Killer Niche Domains

As most of you may know, exact match domains (yourkeyphrase.com/.net/.org) can give you a very heavy weighting in google. I challenged myself to find some exact match domains for keywords in competitive markets that receive a fair amount of organic google traffic. I'm giving them away because I just get too many damn keywords I want to dominate... and i just dont want to have that kind of distraction at the moment. And of course I love giving back to everyone who reads my little blog.
