SEO Experts advocate &#8220;long tail keywords&#8221; on the premise that since they are not good enough to get you into google&#8217;s page one on a popular and competitive high traffic keyword, they will get you into google&#8217;s page one under a low traffic and low competition term that stays locked on page one for a long time, hence, &#8220;long tail.&#8221;</p>
<p>Balderdash.</p>
<p>Low competition keywords will only bring you 1-3 clicks a WEEK. You cannot run any kind of marketing campaign on this pitiful trickle. Even high traffic keywords like &#8220;wireless internet,&#8221; only generates about 2,000 clicks a day. I know. I was #1 on page #1 for over a year. So go for several high traffic terms. How?</p>
<p>All you have to do is understand how the Google computer science PhDs think.</p>
<p>They are simply looking for credible sources that link to your url using the keyword term that your customer would search for. So basically, let&#8217;s say this was the fishing industry&#8217;s biggest blog. You own a bait and tackle shop in Seattle. You want my site to link to yours like this: <a href="http://journik.posterous.com">Seattle bait and tackle</a>, NOT like this: Check Out <a href="http://twitter.com/journik">THIS</a> Site.</p>
<p>Easy enough right?</p>
<p>Well the hard part is actually getting an industry dominant site to link to you. My process is simple. I don&#8217;t ask. I don&#8217;t beg. I don&#8217;t barter. <a href="http://sparkah.com/?p=16">I create a website that rapidly becomes an industry leader</a>. Then I can add my own links as I damn well please. See http://jbni.us/forum &#8230; You&#8217;ll notice that if you google the link terms like &#8220;herbs for PMS&#8221; the urls I link to do infact show up page one for that term. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the biggest bonus trade secret. I only link to Youtube videos. Why? Google owns Youtube. They are trying like Alaskan Malamutes to make youtube profitable. You&#8217;ll get a leg up. Take it.</p>
