Something happened to me the other day that really made me wonder why some people find it so hard to achieve any type of success online.

Many people state that all programs are scams or simply don’t offer the right ype of support for your affiliate marketing efforts.

Promoting a home business opportunity is for newbies, plain and simple, unless of course the home business opprtunity is such a high-end program that it makes it difficult to make sales, then it becomes a matter of making those sales while everyone else is struggling to make their first sale.

The reason why niche marketing is so successful as a business model for many people is because it allows you to promote yourself and your sites first.

So, imagine if you had a hobby or passion that you truly enjoyed writing about. The most important part of that preceding sentences is the word “enjoyed”… If you enjoy talking about your passion or hooby, then your site content will be of great quality and honestly, good content is the best form of SEO you could hope to achieve, just by writing well.

Obviously some other factors will come into play for you besides just writing well. You need to write well and optimize your content in such a way as to allow the search engines to find your content. This really isn’t hard to do.

If you need any type of Online Marketing and Internet Business Advice simply do a search for what it is you need to learn to get your sites noticed by Google and other search engines.

There are plenty of blogs and bloggers out ther who are willing to share this type of information with you for free, and plenty of articles from article directories that are doing the same thing.

If you target your niche, sub-niche, keywords, or sub-keywords specifically enough, then you do have a chance of out-ranking other authority sites in the search engines for your chosen terms.

Here’s a tip:

If your main SEO competition has a PageRank 8 site that gets 10,000 visitors a month from all sorts of search terms, you can easily compete with them by getting domain names that specifically target each sub-keyword or phrase.

So, let’s take the avid and enthusiastic passion hobby niche of bird-watching for a case in point. The same crew of sites are ranking well for terms like bird binoculars, birding guides, bird feeders and so on…

I did some reasearch into this niche and realized that the domain names and sites I was up against were going to be tough competition.

So, I devoted one site to bird binoculars, and another to birding guides, and once those have reached the top of the rankings, I will proceed to build another site, and add enough content and baclinks to it to get top ranked for other keywords that I thought it would be impossible to rank well for.

The Niche marketing secret I am revealing to you right now is that no SEO competition is too great for you to tackle and to have your sites perform well against.

All you need to do well with your rankings strategy is to be willing to target specific keywords and make sure your domain names have those keywords in there. At some point when your niche sites are doing well on their own, they’ll also link to each other naturally and you will begin to crowd the first page of the search engines with your site content.

If I decided that I wanted more than just one spot on Page 1 for a certain search term, I could do that easily enough if the right domain names were available. I’ve done it enough times to know that it can be done with the right kind of minimal effort.

So far, the best strategy that I’ve come up with when deciding to target certain keywords is to target product names and if domain names aren’t available for the product name, then I look for the product name + review for a domain name.

If the .com tld is taken for my desired domain name, I will get the .org TLD name, and if that’s taken, then I move on to another keyword that might do well for getting organic natural traffic.

Once I find a good enough domain name, I will set up a wordpress blog on it, and immediately configure it to have the proper ping list. Then I will find an article that I can republish on my blog, and finding one usually takes about 15 seconds. After finding an article I can use for quick content I will publish it on the blog once it’s ready to go, configuration wise.

Then I submit the RSS feed to the blog to a couple of RSS diretories, and even submit the sitemap for the site to Google Webmaster Tools if I am not being too lazy. I don’t think that sitemap submission is overly important any more, but one thing I do know, it’s that submitting your site to the search engines is kind of a waste of time.

It’s best to let Google and other search engines find you on their own since that’s a more natural way of getting noticed, and once one search engine finds you, the rest will follow eventually.

After submitting the RSS feed, I then will create a squidoo or hub page and add some unique content there. I will also add the RSS feed url for my blog to the hubpages so every new post on the blog also updates on my hubpages, which basically adds fresh new content to the hub page and makes it perform better, rankings-wise.

Then, I will write an article to be submitted to my article directory of choice, EzineArticles. The article I submit will have 2 backlinks in it to my main site/blog and to my hub page or Squidoo Lens. Once the article is approved and live on the internet, I will post this to my blog (2d piece of duplicate content).

Since it takes a few days to have an article reviewed, accepted, and published, you can take that time to gather up some more of your keywords that you want to target in future content pieces you write for your site.
