Top Keyword "banana republic", a highly visited phrase.
If you are an online entrepreneur with a well-designed product selling website, the first hurdle to gaining an adequate amount of sales to justify the time and money gone into making that website is finding that all important keyword phrase that has hundreds of visitors a week, but has very little competition in the way of other websites competing for the same keyword, therefore helping you reach that number one Google spot without spending a fortune on advertising or paying some website promotion company to submit your site to millions of useless FFA sites, which produce massive amounts of spam and no quality incoming links to your site.
"My experience and frustration"
Like many online entrepreneurs, I had the misconception that because I knew a lot about computers, I could simply make a description based website full of relevant keywords and add a few affiliate links to the products I was describing, get a thousand incoming links from other relevant websites, submit it to the search engines and hey presto within a couple of months I would have a high search engine position and a decent supply of paying visitors to my site mainly from keyword searches through the search engines. How wrong I was?
Sure I attained number two spot on MSN for my chosen keyword within "2 Weeks", but the problem was the keyword did not have enough quality visitors to supply enough revenue to make my website (vegas stakes casino) worthwhile, in fact I hardly got many visitors even though the keyword I had chosen supplied a fair number of searches per month. Frustration, no sign ups and a lot of wasted computer hours.
The problem with the internet is, choosing the right "niche market", I chose the affiliate online casino route because the rewards for me getting members to join up and start playing at the online casino was higher than with any other affiliate program, I mean how many affiliate programs do you know will give you $50 plus a revenue share for each customer you get to sign up. And with gambling being the number one internet business, raking in billions of dollars per year, I like many other casino affiliates would of been happy to take our share of that vast fortune, but unfortunately this was not going to be as easy as I had imagined. So for now this route I have given up!!
I also joined the Google Adwords program and created a daily updated blog on website promotion (banana website promotion), giving useful free tips and advice to fellow webmasters yearning to reach that number one spot on the Google search engine, strategically placing Google Ads on my blog to entice people who visited to click the ads and gain me a nice little income. Unfortunately I was getting a fair few visitors, but the average internet user has become very immune to ads and the chance of anyone clicking the ads is about 1 every 500 visitors which is absolutely dreadful and certainly wont get you a sustainable income. So for now this route, I have given up as well.
"The reason behind this banana republic website"
The reason I created this site was that "banana republic" is a highly searched keyword on Google with many visitors per month because of the online clothing retailer (banana republic) and wanted as many people as possible to read my contribution to the internet world, and to help fellow frustrated online entrepreneurs or people wishing to work at home, come to terms with the fact that making money on the worldwide web is a complete and utter nightmare and a complete waste of anybody's valuable leisure time.
"Keyword competition becoming saturated"
There is just too much competition out there competing for the best keywords and you're just going to be one of the millions out there wasting precious time and money pursuing this dream of making a life-changing income, which im afraid unless you're very, very lucky will never happen to the extent that you'll making a proper full time salary out of and be able to escape the rat-race. And this situation is going to get much worse, especially with the ever growing popularity of the internet, throughout the world.
"E-books a no-no"
Please, please do not fall for any of these get rich quick e-books priced at around $50 plus, they are a complete and utter waste of your money, instead take the money and go down the local bar and drink the night away and have a great time. Sure you may be pissing the money up the wall, but its better that you are pissing it up the wall having a great time, rather than these so called "Fake Internet Gurus" taking your money and buying themselves a lovely new red Ferrari, which you see as their main marketing picture to all their so called money-making websites.
"Google Adsense on your site, Google can ban you anytime, its their right"
Even the so called reputable search engine gurus, have tempted many a webmaster to display Google Ads on their information rich blogs and websites with the promise of making a decent income for visitors clicking on the ads, then in a spark of fraudulent clicking madness ban your Google Adsense account and deprive you of that much needed income from your valuable website, without any chance of reprieve. Yes, even this route has its terrible frustrating side.
"A kind keyword in your ear"
Now have you noticed the keyword I have been using sparingly in this website, yes that's right "banana republic", did you know that "banana republic" currently gets over 250,000 searches a month on the search engine Overture and currently there is only 11 million pages on Google which contains this keyword, believe me compared to some keywords this is not a lot of competition. This is because "banana republic" is a trademark name of a clothing company and Google Adwords will not let you use this keyword unless you get permission from the Banana Republic Clothing Retailers, this reason has greatly cut down the competition for the Google Ads up the side and means you have a good chance of ranking high for the "banana republic" keyword on the Google search engine. There are possible a handful of keyword phrases out there with this exciting potential, i am giving this keyword as a free challenge to anyone who has bothered to read this far to create and build a profitable site using the "banana republic" keyword as their websites launch pad to internet stardom and possible riches. I myself simply cant be bothered anymore with this blasted internet and cant think of a good enough way to make any decent money. But, i know there are many geniuses out there that would relish the keyword "banana republic" and make a successful attempt at this highly potential keyword.
"Final word from the webmaster"
Thank you for visiting this site, i hope i have enlightened all that have visited and read my internet rant. I know i may be being negative and maybe there is a vast fortune out there waiting for the right marketing niche. But the fact is, i have tried and tested every method i have read and seen on the internet and in marketing books and these methods do work to a small extent, but certainly not has quickly and easily as is said. The internet takes time months or maybe years before you have adequate presence on the internet to finally make enough impact to make that dream income a reality.
My advice is, if you are impatient and want fast results please ring your internet service provider tomorrow and cancel your internet connection, it will save you months of frustration and time, you will not make huge incomes in days, its totally impossible.
GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS!!
