 Keynotes of This Article

  • Profitable Amazon Product Selection or Niche Selection.
  •  Main Keyword, Product Keyword, Accessories Keyword and Vertical Keyword Selection.
  • Perfect Use of Keyword Research Tool Long Tail Pro (Platinum) – the best keyword research tool on the market.
  • Authority Site Keyword Research
  • A Good Theme Review for The Niche Site.

Profitable Amazon Product Selection or Niche Selection

  • Does People Buy The Product Instantly? [Best Things To Ask Yourself and Your Friends]
  • Select Product That Doesn’t Require Hours of Research Before Buying [Best Things To Ask Yourself and Your Friends]
  • Product Average Review must be 50+. Otherwise, it shows people buy such product in a very less amount. It would result in less profit for ours.
  • Product price should be $50-500. This range is profitable because the amount of commission for $50 is $3-4 that is minimum, and the commission amount for $500 is $30-40 that is a good price. Product price of above $500 is not suitable because people buy less product from the online source in this price range. Price Range Should be $50-500. It is appropriate for the beginners only. If you have the budget of 10-20,000 for a single site, then you can think beyond this range. But it would be risky for the newbies.
    An essential point is Amazon saves all the cookies only for 24 hours. It means, if any visitor buys any products within 24 hours then you will get the commission otherwise you won’t. So, select the product which people buy quickly without wasting time. For example Haunting Binocular, Pull Up Bar, Baby Toy Stand etc.
  • Which niche should you work? Suggestion for the beginners
Please work with the following categories like
* Home, Garden & Tools  
* Beauty, Health & Grocery  
* Toys, Kids & Baby  
* Sports & Outdoors
In these categories, all the products are evergreen, no burden of commission and conversion rate is higher. Other categories are also workable, but these are friendly for the newbies. Please watch out all category products including sub-categories From Here.
Main Keyword, Product Keyword, Accessories Keyword and Vertical Keyword selection (The following criteria are mandatory for selecting Main Keyword)
i. Monthly Local  Search Volume:  Keep the monthly search volume in the range of 1000-5000. It is profitable to compete with less search volume keywords. Otherwise, the budget should be higher. To check the monthly search volume, please use the Google Keyword Tool as following:
See, My keyword “best pull up bar” contains the search volume of 1600 monthly. It fulfills our criteria.
Evergreen search volume

ii.  Seasonality/Ever Green: This term indicates the equal sales all over the year. A good average amount of sales each month. We can see the search volume is evergreen. Please search this keyword “men winter coats” and you will find a result like the following image:
seasonal search volume
Look at the above picture, some months got more search and some months got less search. It should be better idea having the average sale all over the year equally for continuous passive income. So it would not be a good decision to work with such product.
iii.  Buyer Keywords: One of the best ways to do this is to target “buyer keywords” or keywords that show buyer intent. i.e. that someone is in the phase of being ready to buy and aren’t just browsing or vaguely interested.

Some Best Buying Keyword Pattern
  • Keyword Structure For Better Conversion
    • Best/Top Rated + Product Name
    • Cheap + Product Name
    • Quality + Product Name
    • Vs/Or/Compared to Product 1 / Product 2
    • Product Name + For Sale
    • Product Name + Review/Reviews
    • Bargain + Product
    • Best + Product Name + Online
    • Best + Product Name + Review
    • Best + Product Name + Year
    • Buy + Product Name
    • Where can i buy + product name
    • Product Name + Coupon
iv. Profitability: I have already discussed it in point 1.
v. Page Authority (PA) – Multiple results have less than 30, minimum 2 (Once you get over 40 – gets pretty competitive)
vi. Juice Page Links – Multiple results with less than 30
To tell about Juice Page Links in a single line:
The main way of acquiring Page Rank is through the acquisition of links from other websites with Page Rank to share. This is where the concept of Link Juice comes from. Link Juice provides a way of illustrating and conceptualizing how Page Rank flows between pages and websites. Read Details Juice Page Links 01 ও Juice Page Links 02 
vii. Weak sites in the top 10 (forums, other niche sites or Affiliate Sites, Q&A sites, Article Directories, YouTube Videos, Yahoo Answers, ezinearticles.com,  Squidoo pages and other user-generated content, etc.)
Hope, I need not talk about Weak Sites as I have mentioned in brackets.
viii. The title of Page – Does it include the keywords?
When you finalize a keyword, please observe how many sites have the same keyword in titles. Fewer sites, more profits due to less competition. But if more than three sites have same titles then it would be negative for us to compete.
ix. Nice to see Newer Sites: the number of sites in the top 10 results less than one-year-old.
It is a positive sign of having site ranking of below one year. Because, if they can, we can as well. So look for one site among ten sites that have ranked below one year.
x. Domain Authority (DA). Domain authority is a measure of the power of a domain name and is one of many search engine ranking factors. Domain authority is based on three factors: Age, Popularity, and Size. SEO gurus Moz can be credited with the metric known as DA or domain authorityKnow Details. There should be two sites in top 10. DA should be under 30.
xi. Keyword Competitiveness (KC): Keyword competition is the measure of how difficult it will be to rank for a particular keyword. The competition for a keyword can vary depending on how popular the keyword is and industry competitionThe Ultimate Guide to Keyword Competition
My suggestion is to keep under 30. Search about LTP.

Let’s see some Keyword Selection Example

          • If top 10 has lots of eCommerce stores listed (amazon, walmart.com, bestbuy, etc), I usually skip – Google tends to rank eCommerce sites better for eCommerce related terms.
          • On the other hand, I like to see information type sites (ehow, squidoo, etc) for information based keywords. Or lots of Adsense based sites also tells me I might have potential to rank (if other criteria above is met).

7 Blog SEO Tips to Gain Bulletproof Search Rankings

Getting traffic for a new blog is hard. How will you make sure that you will get regular visitors who are interested in your articles? Some people say social media but the process is painful. From my own experience, social media traffic is less targeted and comes to your blog only when you give it a shake.
To solve this problem and to get regular flow of traffic we need to do SEO for our blog.
S.E.O. is Search Engine Optimization, a special type of marketing done to gain organic visitors.
In this guide I will tell you about SEO and how to optimize your blog/website so that you can gain interested people to come and read your blog, for FREE!
When we need information, we type in to Google.
Few years ago when I wanted to start a blog, I searched google on how to blog and make money.
I found this blog on the topic
Chances are you too searched online and found my blog.
Now there are many sites like google, such as: Bing, Yahoo, Altavista, Ask, DuckDuckGo who provide nothing but web search. YouTube and Facebook have their own search features too. These are called search engines.
These sites are different but the core principals of these engines remain the same. They want to show the most relevant search results to their users.
I will show you how you can optimize your blog for search and this will bring traffic from all of the search engines to your blog.
So Why Do I Need To Optimize SEO For My Blog?
Simply because you want to get found online.
Social media traffic –is time consuming and takes lots of effort and connections.
Paid advertisement –is expensive and takes experience to return your investment.
Viral buzz –is virtually impossible for a new blog or website.
So the effective way to gain traffic and make sure you get only people who are interested in your content is going to be SEO.
The base concept of SEO is relevancy. The more relevant you are the higher you will rank for a particular term.
So allow me to take you to the main 7 Blog SEO tips,

1. Keyword in your blog’s domain name

A domain name is the address of your blog. Such as my blog address is blogkori.com. In my blog there is the keyword “blog” in it.
So listen to me, if you have a keyword in your domain, you will more likely to rank for particular term.
Now there is a way to overdo this. You can put keywords all over your domain. For an example if your keyword is: “How to lose fat” and register a domain like “HowToLoseFat.com” this will be called an E.M.D. or Exact Match Domain.
This is good for SEO but bad for blog branding. You want to make sure your blog name is easy to spell, easy to remember and easy to type. For an example my blog has a keyword and still it is short and brandable.
So for the example you can make a blog or website for the health market and name it like “FatKiller.com” or “WeightBuster.net”
And in recent google update, EMD domains are hit big time. Meaning, people who took EMD domains to gain ranking have got a penalty from google. Read the news here
So the takeaway here is if you have the keyword in domain, it will help you rank faster but make sure you are not overdoing it.
How to do it?
Add at least one keyword in your domain; if you already have a domain then continue with it.

2. Page/Article URL of your blog

The second most important element of blog SEO. You can have your keyword in the url structure, like: yourblog.com/the-keyword or yourblog.com/the-keyword-article You need to put your main keyword on your url.
How to do it?
To enable this in wordpress, go to settings > permalinks and select post name
permalinks-for-seo
To set this on blogger, when you write a new post just customize the article in permalinks,
permalinks-in-blogger-for-seo

3. Page/Post titles headings (this is H2)

In HTML, there are 7 levels of headings. It was originally created to decorate web pages. Search engines started to use the heading tag to learn what this paragraph is about.
The heading tags are,
headings-for-seo
Now how to use them?
They should only be used when you really need them. By default the title of the blog post is in Heading 1 or H1.
You should have only one H1 tag in your content and in wordpress your article/page title is in H1 so you don’t have to add it another time.
Then add H2 for the section titles and then H3 for sub titles. There is no limitation on how many times you can use H2-H7. Use it when it makes sense.
On general, I use only the H2 and H3, because other tags lower than that doesn’t change much.
You should have keywords in the headings.
How to do it?
To use heading on wordpress go here on the editor,
headings option in wordpress
In blogger you can find it by clicking on the heading option,
headings in blogger

4. Content/Articles of your blog

The content of your blog or the text part of your site is the most important part above all.
First of all you should be free to write. Don’t bound to word limits or keyword rate. Just write.
When you write a blog article, you should write to solve a problem, to inform your audience or to give them a solution.
If there was no value in my articles, then you wouldn’t be here.
So content holds much more value when it comes to blog SEO. Content is king!
In content,
Be relevant: If you are talking about pets, you may need to mention about “dog”, “dog house”, “pet food” etc. But “Hot air balloon” is no way relevant to a blog that is related to pets. You get the idea.
Use synonyms: Search engines are intelligent enough to understand that “K9” is just another word to address a “dog.” When you write articles you should not use the same word over and over again.
Highlight keywords: It is a good practice to highlight a few keywords here and there. Use bold, italic and underline commands to achieve this. But don’t use it excessively.

5. The use of meta data

Meta data is a special code that comes in every web page or blog articles. It’s a small data that is useful for the search engines; this helps them know what this article is about.
The 3 main Meta data’s are: The title, the description and the keywords.
Meta title is the text that shows up in the search like this,
meta title and description for blog
Meta description is the summery that shows up below the search listing and in many popular social media sites,
meta data in facebook
Meta keyword is no more important anymore but still some small search engines use it to know about the content. The idea is to put your main keyword in the title and in the description. Right now descriptions are important for the click through rate or CTR.
How to do it?
Add this free plugin in wordpress: WordPress SEO by Yoast
Now when you write a new article/post you can add the meta data in the box below,
yoast seo for wordpress meta data

6. Internal & external links for blog SEO

Internal links simply direct people to another page/post of your blog. Say if you are writing about dogs and mention about dog food, you can link the word “dog food” to another page of yours that is specific to that topic.
There are 2 benefits for doing this. One is that you are allowing people to read your older posts and the second is you are helping that particular page to help with SEO. Google and other search engines will now understand that this page is about “Dog foods” and they will move that page up in the positions.
The same way you should help other websites rank better by linking to their pages. Now it has 3 benefits. First, you are sending people to a better and trusted resource; second, you are showing your audience that you care about them and not just being selfish; third, search engines will like the fact that you are not trying to manipulate their ranking system.
How to do it?
To link to an internal page from your blog, highlight the word and click on the link icon and type in the URL,
hyperlink test for seo boost

7. Image alternative tags for blog image SEO

Search engines can’t see images, but if you tell them what this image is about then they can put this image in their image search.
Let me give you an example, I did a search on google image search with “color red” and the blue color also did showed up.
color_red
This clearly tells us that search king such as google uses text instructions to understand what an image/page is all about.
Just like a blind man trying to learn about colors.
So to help with image SEO, you need to put alternate/alt tags.
How to do it?
After you have uploaded an image, type the image description as the title and in the alt tag,
image alt tag for seo
In blogger you can do this, after you upload and insert the image, click on the picture and then properties:
image properties
Now you shall see the boxes to add the title and image alt tags,
setting image alt tag in blogger for seo
So these were the top main aspects in doing blog SEO. See the goal for SEO is to make sure the search engine fully understands what your blog is about. The objective of blog optimization should always be focused for people, not for the engines.
Here are some more points of blog SEO that I figured out and I want to share with you,
Subdomains: A subdomain or yourblog.blogspot.com or yourblog.wordpress.com doesn’t ranks well in search. A subdomain rarely appears on google search. Some people say that having a blog on blogger is a plus for google (since blogger is owned by google) but that’s a lie, google is dear to no one. So go and buy your own domain name and host your own blog.
.info and local domain names: In my journey, I found that .info and all other not so known domain extensions rarely do well in SEO. The ones that performs well are .COM/.NET/.ORG –the original 3 domain extensions.
Same goes with country domains. I have proof for that! My domain tamal.me which is a .ME domain, never become #1 with all my efforts. It always stays in 5-6 position in google. But when I did the same with a .COM, it went to become #1 without any visible effort from my side. So always stick with the most general domain name, and avoid anything else.
Website in the same ip: Again it’s a lie. This is something promoted by the hosting companies so that you will buy their expensive separate IP hosting accounts. The realty is google and other search engines count domains, not the IP, otherwise it would show up in the search results. The IP that blogkori is in, also hosts 10s of different blogs. All blogs are treated individually.
Speed of the website: Holds importance when it comes to blog usability. You should cut down images and widgets so that your blog will run faster. Blogger, the free hosting provider is the fastest web service for a free solution.
Social sharing: Is very important in blog SEO. You should put social sharing buttons on your blog articles. Social sharing improves the positions in search for your articles.

7 Day English Blogging Challenge – Building a Community Outside of Your Blog

So this is the last post of the 7 day English blogging challenge. And the news is I failed to write 7 posts in 7 days. As a result if you check the dates, I missed my schedule. It’s not an easy job to blog everyday for sure. But the good news is, blogging can be done even outside of your blog. You can build your community outside of your blog site. Here let me share a few tips on how you can do that:

Build a Facebook Page

Facebook pages are all in the news. You can create a page for virtually anything and everything. Start a facebook page for the topic you are blogging, or about your blog. Then start sharing updates about that topic.
Facebook allows you to spread the page easily to your target audiences. Since this page is part of facebook, the facebook has no problem display it to ideal users.

Grow a Facebook Group

Groups are different compared to pages. They are like the new forums. You can create a group on a specific topic and then let the users participate in it. Unlike facebook pages, you can set the privacy of the group as closed or secret.
However facebook groups can easily go out of hands because of some ignorant members or link spammers. That’s why you have to have some loyal admins who will filter your group from time to time.

Start a YouTube Channel

Create video content and put them on YouTube. You will gain lots of new subscribers who will then become your blog reader. YouTube is huge so you must create a channel for your blog or your brand.

Have Your Say

In 2016, building a community is not only limited to blogging. What are some of the ways YOU are using to build a community? Let me know in the comments below.

8 tips to Maximize the attendence of your webinars

You have the guests. You have the technology. You even have a hashtag all set. Yet, for some reason, you still have not been able to increase the attendance rate of your past and future webinars, otherwise known as webcasts.
The paucity of attendees to your webinars, whether they’re live or pre-recorded, is something that troubles a lot of brands that utilize online seminars. When you have just a couple of people watching your webinar, you feel disheartened and discouraged. You ultimately believe it was a wasted investment and a waste of time because not too many people were a part of your webinar.

It really is compelling to look at the numbers and see just how consistent webinar attendance rates are across various industries. The average webinar attendance rate is between 40 and 50 percent of registrants – that number shoots up to 60 percent depending on the source.
Webinars are superb business development strategies to employ. A webinar platform can help you conduct a killer webinar that will develop your brand, you become an authority on the topic and you garner the trust of your customers and prospects. Moreover, webinars become an easier way to get in front of a large audience (there are nearly three billion people using the Internet today!).

Internet Marketing blogs by fellow Internet Marketers in Bangladesh

  1. Marketever – A very recent and new blog in the industry. This blog is run by Al-Amin Kabir. Anyone who is around the internet marketing field in BD for some while will know Al-Amin Kabir. He has been the former successful CEO of DevsTeam and now working on his own company (I have no idea because he works on so many things) but mostly his frontend company is Marketever. Now when you visit this site you will know what a blog is. It’s already on the way to become the A list blog (which means a top blog in the world). He posts frequent updates and his updates are massive. You want to read his blog because there is a mission behind this site, this guy wants you to succeed on your niche site/amazon affiliate sites. Apart from the blog, Al also holds regular local events, workshops and an active facebook group.
  2. Blog Ron – from Delwar Jahan, blogs about technology, also blogs on Bangla here. He shares many frequent updates in his blog. He also records videos on youtube that revolves around the technology and make money online niche. I personally know this guy and he is a very intelligent human being. The way he sees and explores things are out of the ordinary. One thing I don’t like about his blogs is that most of his updates in both his Bangla & English blogs are not related to a specific topic. His updates are more like broadcasts rather than a blog post. That’s why I may read his blog to get updated but not to stay in touch with the author.
  3. SEO PPC SMM – Blog of Asif Anwar Pathik (you can clearly tell what this blog is about)
  4. NShamim – A blog from Nasir Udding Shamim, blogs and posts videos about SEO.
  5. Kashem Org – Blog from Abul Kashem who writes about internet marketing topics in Bangla
  6. Asif’s Grow With Digital Blog – Mostly about personal adventures in Bangla, he also writes articles about the internet marketing. His blog could be much more interactive with lots of other pages like “About”, “Contact” and if he would focus on just marketing related stuff, then this would be a killer blog to read.
  7. Nahid Hasan’s Blog – Blogs about internet marketing and business in Bangla
  8. Devsteam’s Blog – This blog covers all the topics related to internet marketing
  9. Ramkrishna Bhattacharjee, RamDa’s blog – Blogs topics related to SEO & personal updates
  10. Genesis Blogs – A community Bangla blog that covers tech and internet marketing topics
  11. Sojib Rahman Dot Com – Who blogs about blogging & SEO in Bangla. Last time I checked he posted his blog back in Aug 2014. Sojib is an SEO professional in Bangladesh IM arena; he is best known for his venture WebCode.com.bd. A lack of updates is a turn off but all his 6 blog posts were more about self centered and opinion based posts. His site has 6 categories, which is funny because he has just 6 posts (maybe one post per cat) but that is entirely useless.
  12. Road To Blogging – A very popular blog about blogging and internet marketer run by a Bangladeshi blogger Istiak Rayhan.
