The Wonders of Wordtracker:. . . It's More than a Hunt for Keywords

Written by John Alexander


Continued from page 1

If you just think only in "keywords" mode, you may miss this.

Performing a comprehensive search within Wordtracker by typing inrepparttar word "baby," Wordtracker returns interesting results. Do you know what I learned? The target audience for baby strollers is NOT people who have babies! You heard correct. The "true audience" for those buying strollers and baby cribs ARE NOT "folks who have NEWBORN BABIES!" Here isrepparttar 127913 catch....if you are targeting folks with newborns, to sell them a stroller....you're too late! The true audience are people who are "soon to become parents."

Once Mom and Dad know a new family member is onrepparttar 127914 way, they start buying BEFORErepparttar 127915 baby arrives. Better yet...often it's not evenrepparttar 127916 parents who are buying...it'srepparttar 127917 grandparents. Perhaps you have pages scoring tremendously well for things like babies, strollers, cribs and baby furniture...... but now your client wants even more.

Here's an example strategy:

One behavior ofrepparttar 127918 true target audience which I discovered by using Wordtracker was as follows. As I enteredrepparttar 127919 term "baby" into "comprehensive search,"repparttar 127920 first thing I noticed wasrepparttar 127921 top phrase "baby names" which had been requested on major search engines over 34,350 times inrepparttar 127922 last 60 days. It became very obvious when I noticedrepparttar 127923 incredibly high demands on major search engines forrepparttar 127924 phrase "baby names," or how about "meanings of baby names."

This was indeed like a light coming on! I thought, imagine this, "soon to be parents" are researching their unborn child's name by usingrepparttar 127925 Internet. What better time to connect with folks than beforerepparttar 127926 baby is born.

Finally, build a strategy based onrepparttar 127927 identified behavior

Suppose we were to build a little library of themed pages right into your client's site to attractrepparttar 127928 TARGET audience. They are searching for baby names so it is essential that this is what you MUST give them. Give them lists of baby names to choose from, right? Don't ever trick your audience or they will simply never buy. Give them exactly what they are looking right up front. In this example, you could create pages that offer baby names and meanings of baby names AND subtly offer a few product listings or links to your client's store front. It is essential that you always provide content related to their search first, and then you might offer some links to other appropriate products within your client's site.

Test these unique ways for using Wordtracker yourself, and learn how effective they can be.

Good luck!
