Wonder how “fishing derby” would do? (as far as keyword)

And thanks for the in depth details on KEI on various other pages. Very informative and appreciated.

How right you are, David. Learned this the hard way myself with my first Squidoo lense a year ago. All 1st page traffic in Google is certainly not high paying.

Even though, this might have not been mentioned, I would also add, all long tail keywords are not necessarily ‘buying keywords’ either.

Hi Mark, it took me a year to pound that into my head that I needed to take into account the KEI and optimize for keywords or phrases that have a KEI above 100 along with looking at what the profitability indicators showed.

Most of my problem was being lazy and thinking I could get around the system some other way I have surrendered haha.

You may notice I bring the points of KEI and profitability up repeatedly. I do that for the benefit of new readers and those as hard headed as myself. Hopefully it doesn’t sound like a dead horse being flogged

Excellent points, David. It makes far more sense to target potential buyers, rather than keywords for the sake of search engines alone. A lot of people concentrate on getting high traffic, but traffic alone will not earn you anything.

Hi David - Very good points you make here!

I love it when SEO product sales page go flaunting their first page results but never is there any mention of the traffic actually coming through.

Your point takes it to another level - it’s not only about the traffic, it’s also whether that traffic is made up of buyers (if money is your goal). Using the PPC industry is a good way to isolate where the money is.
