There is no point in creating a website unless you have thought about how you are going to get visitors. Regardless of whether you are creating web pages for business, as a hobby or to inform there will inevitable come a time when you are going to want get people to come to your web pages. You want the majority of visitors to come from search engines. Certainly the lowest cost and best targeted traffic will always be brought to you by the search engines.

Search engines make their living from delivering relevant and useful results to their users. The more relevant and precise the search results the better the user experience and therefore the greater the chance the user will user will return. The more frequently users return to the search engine the more opportunity and income the search engines create. You and your web pages face a similar challenge.Make your users experience your number one priority so they return to your web pages time and time again.

So how do you go about doing this?. There are two paths to achieving this and the good news is you can if you have the money do both. You can create and publish great content and persuade other web site owners to link to it or you can advertise on the search engines using PPC (Pay Per Click).

As far as all of the search engines are concerned nothing exists on the internet without a keyword or a key phrase. Searches always begin with the entry of a keyword or phrase into the ‘search box’. The search engine refers to a gigantic index to retrieve a list of the web pages it deems to be the most relevant to the keywords the user entered. All search engines determine what will be returned in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) by using two measures authority and relevance.

Relevance is determined by the occurrence of keywords in the web page content and authority is largely derived from back links from other web pages. Search engines calculate the position of a web page in a returned list of results by measuring the authority and number of backlinks to each page.

Back links are the most important factor in optimising your pages for the search engines.

Back links not only determine your position in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) but are a major source of visitor traffic. People searching for and reading relevant content will click on the back links that contain text related to their quest and subsequently be directed to your web pages. ‘Anchor text’ is the correct term to describe the text appearing as a link and contributes to the value given to the link by the search engines. Some back links have more value than others.

Back links from web pages that contain content related to your web page have an impact on the authority of your web page.Web pages with more authority pass more authority onto your pages .

Picking the right niche can make or break your Internet marketing business. Often, people attempting to get into Internet marketing often get stuck on this step, because they honestly have no idea which niches are worth working on. Not surprisingly, nobody wants to spend a ton of time and effort creating a website that receives very little traffic simply because there is very little demand for the subject in question.

So, how does one begin locating money-making niches? Some Internet marketers suggest choosing a niche that you are either enthusiastic about or are familiar with. While this may work out in the end, the more logical approach is to determine what people are actually searching for and base your Internet business around that. Determining the demand of a particular niche is the very first step.

One way to do this is to use some free tools, such as the free Wordtracker keyword tool (http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com). Type in a search term and Wordtracker will return the amount of daily searches for up to 100 related terms. You want to choose a term that has a decent number of daily searches – any number 10 or greater is worth considering. You may notice that the fewer number of words in a particular search term, the more searches it generally gets. As you can probably guess, search phrases that contain more words get less traffic, but are generally easier to rank for.

Next, go to Google (http://www.google.com) and type one of the search terms in quotes. In the upper right hand corner of the search results page, you’ll see the number of pages indexed by Google that are exact matches for your search term. Generally, when you are just starting niche marketing, try to select terms that have 20,000 or fewer competing pages when using exact match. Anything higher than this will require some heavy duty SEO to rank well.

Once you find that a particular subject that has decent search volume and relatively low competition, it’s time to go over to the Google Adwords Tool (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) to learn if there is any money in the market. Enter your search term and see if there are any advertisers bidding for your search phrase. If there are a bunch of advertisers, it suggests that there is in fact money to be made in your niche. If you don’t find any advertisers, the search term you’ve selected may not be commercial in nature, and thus may be difficult to make money with.

You’ve now found a niche that has great search volume, minimal competition, and good monetization potential. Once you know how to find quality niches like these, you will be well on your way to earning some serious money online with niche marketing.
