Choosing the Right Keywords

Look for keywords that will:

  1. Increase organic traffic:

    To increase your traffic, sort your entire keyword library by the yearly search volume (largest to smallest).

    Target the highest volume you could reasonably rank for based on your domain authority. Filter the results by unchecking anything higher than what you can rank for.

  2. Generate affiliate revenue:

    To increase your affiliate earnings, search for keywords with buying intent.

    The best keywords with buying intent have “best” or “vs.” in the title.

    For example: “best dog shampoo” or “Dove vs Aveeno body wash.”

    Filter for “best” and/or “vs.” in the Keyword Library.

  3. Increase your Domain Authority:

    If you create posts with statistics or unique graphics and images, you will likely generate backlinks passively.

    Look for keywords with “statistics,” “graphic/infographic/chart/printable/examples/etc.”

    Boosting domain authority can be daunting. Consider research and graphics as investments. Your hard work will earn backlinks, increasing domain authority and Google rankings.

Final Thoughts:
