So be sure to watch the video and leave comments or questions. Keyword Research is skill you’ll have to learn as a foundation for your internet business.

With all the Internet market research methodologies out there, there truly is only one niche market strategy, you need to figure out what sells on the Internet. The way I approach my market research process sometimes differs. From time to time I would start of with keyword ideas in my head and head off to Google’s external keyword tool. Depending on the feedback I get from Google’s absolute and definite data (not always so ;)), I will decide to determine whether the keywords could actually translate in money.  The perceivable problem with this is that sometimes the most brilliant keywords do not translate into money.

Search Engine Marketing is all about exposure. The more exposure you can get, the more people know about you, and potentially the more sales you make. In the Internet dimension back linking plays a major role in obtaining exposure.

There are various back linking strategies available and depending how you approach each of them could determine the overall outcome. My personal approach would be to do thorough keyword research to increase search engine ranking, but also keep in mind that the links I am building can send me significant traffic regardless of the fact whether I would rank in Google or not. In light of all of the above I am going to share 5 top search engine placement strategies which, if done consistently will bear beautiful and juicy fruit.

I’ve compiled a 10-point list on everything that has to be done to at least make sure you have a running of ranking. Here goes:

One of the most effective and free ways to test a market is to use Free Web Hosting domains. Though there are many free website hosting services available, Google certainly favours some above the other from time to time. We have compiled a list of free hosting services which we personally use from, not only for search engine optimization research, but also for obtaining backlinks.

Jacob Morgan from The Business of Blogging blog wrote an informative post that I would like to share with you. Blogging can be a business, but like any business, it needs work:

A lot of people want to know, “how long?”

People need to understand that a blog is just like a business, my blog is just around 8 months old and I am still not 100% satisfied with my traffic levels, design, etc. When you start a blog you are starting from 0, you literally have nothing, just a blank page on which you can start writing. Your traffic levels start from 0 and you have to understand that to make it grow you are going to have to sweat a little.
