I am a full-time blogger, affiliate marketer, and an international speaker. I started my blogging career in 2011 and struggled for 3 years because I didn’t know the power of keywords. I was picking the wrong keywords, writing articles around them and spending a lot of time and effort to do the SEO for them. After wasting 3 long years, I found the right keywords in 2014 and started making $100 per month. Soon I scaled those keywords and started making $1000 per month, and it didn’t take me so long when I started making $15,000 per month with affiliate marketing because I was targeting the right keywords. Now I knew the power of “Golden Keywords” and I started spending more time to find those money-making keywords. The e-book you are reading right now is the output of so many years, so don’t take it lightly. You have invested your time to grab this book, so don’t throw it without taking action. I am going to share my “Golden Keywords Formula” with you and I guarantee that you are going to see the keywords in a completely different way after finishing this eBook. Let’s start. LET’S SEE THE BENEFITS OF KEYWORD RESEARCH FIRST Here are the benefits of good keyword research. - More visibility of your blog posts in search engines. - More traffic on your blog. - More business opportunities. - More paid post opportunities because of visibility. - More income from your blog. - More authority in your industry. - More confidence to write next blog posts on your blog. - Understanding of market while doing keyword research. - More steady growth of your blog. and many more indirect benefits. LETS UNDERSTAND THE TYPE OF KEYWORDS NOW There are many types of keywords, so we will understand all the types before proceeding to how to find the keywords. Once you understand each and every types of keywords very carefully, it will become very easy for you to pick the right money-making keywords. Types of Keywords - Seasonal keywords: - Evergreen keywords: - Geo-targeted keywords: - Trending keywords: - Product-oriented keywords: - Buyer keywords 1. SEASONAL KEYWORDS You'll find the search volume of these keywords in a specific season only. For the whole year, people don't search for such keywords, but when the season comes, the search volume of these keywords increase. Targeting such keyword won’t be beneficial for you if you are just starting your blogging or affiliate marketing career. Example: Happy New Year Wallpapers, Best 1 Ton AC for Office, Best Blanket for Kids, Best Heater for Kids 2. EVERGREEN KEYWORDS These are the keywords which will always be there in the market. Doesn't matter if it is winter, spring, summer, autumn people will always search for these keywords. If you are thinking to start a long-term website, you can start looking for the evergreen keywords, and build a niche website around them. Example: How to format a pen drive, How to install windows, Best helmets for bikes 3. GEO-TARGET KEYWORDS These keywords are searched in the specific geo only. Most of the people searching for such keywords are in the buying stage that's why they search for such keywords. Example: Best digital marketing institute in New Delhi, Best restaurant in Mumbai, Best degree college in Delhi/NCR. 4. TRENDING KEYWORDS These keywords have a very short life. They come suddenly and they disappear after a few days. Most of the people search such keywords when there is something happening around them. Like recently Apple opened online store in India, and Apple fans have gone crazy. I am writing this paragraph on 2nd October which is Gandhi Jayanti in India, so you can see the keywords trends in screenshot above. Example: Apple online store in India, IPL match, Mahatama Gandhi Jayanti. 5. PRODUCT-ORIENTED KEYWORDS These keywords are around the products or brands. Most of these keywords are searched by people who are loyal for a brand. These keywords are very good keywords from affiliate marketing perspective as someone is searching about a specific brand. Example: Apple's new iPhone, Samsung phone covers Note: Be very careful while selecting the brand keywords. Always read the terms and condition of that brand before doing any kind of the promotion. 6. BUYER KEYWORDS These keywords are the most important keywords for the advertisers, bloggers and affiliate marketers. These are the keywords that bring sales. Anyone searching for these keywords is a buyer so these keywords can help you to make more money online. These keywords are very near to the buying stage, so if you can target someone searching these keywords, you are most likely to get some sales. :) Example: Grammarly Coupon, GreenGeeks Hosting Coupon, iPhone 6S Discount, Godaddy Discount, AirBNB Coupon, WP Astra Review LETS UNDERSTAND: 3 IMPORTANT TYPES OF KEYWORDS - NAVIGATIONAL KEYWORD (OR SHORT TAIL KEYWORDS) - INFORMATIONAL KEYWORDS (OR MID TAIL KEYWORDS) - TRANSACTIONAL KEYWORDS (OR LONG TAIL KEYWORDS) 1. NAVIGATIONAL KEYWORDS People who just want to navigate themselves to the website use this kind of keywords. The only goal they have in their mind is, reaching to the official site. So these type of keywords would be a “bad choice” if you pick them for your blog. Example: File GST Return, Facebook login, HDFC Current Account login >> Short Tail Keywords Short tail keywords, or we call them Generic keywords are the keywords which are not having any intent around it. These keywords are broad keywords, or we call them general keywords. These keywords are so generic that most of the time they don't carry any user intention. It's difficult to monetize these keywords, and they are very difficult to rank. Example: Weight Loss, Games, WordPress, SEO 2. INFORMATIONAL KEYWORDS These are the problem-oriented keywords. People searching for these keywords know their pain, but they don't know how to solve it. So these people use informational keywords to find the solutions. Example: How to lose weight, How to install WordPress, Best hair treatment oil, How to improve memory. >> Mid Tail Keywords: These keywords are carrying some information which is neither complete nor half. Most of these keywords carry very small information along with them. These keywords can be used to educate your audience and make a good relation with them. These keywords are often known as “middle of the funnel” keywords too. Because by targeting such keywords you can educate your audience. Example: Weight Loss Diet, Shooting Games, WordPress themes, SEO Tips 3. TRANSACTIONAL KEYWORDS These are the our “Golden Keywords.” They are the final buying decision in this funnel. Whenever anyone goes to Google and search, “Where to buy iPhone X,” “GreenGeeks Hosting Discount,” or “Cheap WordPress Themes for Blogging,” they are in the buying stage. These keywords are very much important to make money with affiliate marketing and most of the times they are the most expensive keywords to run Google Ads. If you go to Google right now and search for any keyword containing word Coupon, Discount, Deal, Buy etc., you'll see a lot of Ads. Why? Because these are the money-making keywords. Example: Where to Buy iPhone X 256GB, Best Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet, Best VPN for Netflix, Cheap Flight Deals Long Tail Keywords: These keywords are very specific keywords. So, we can understand the user's intent with these keywords very easily. Most of the long tail keywords are money-making keywords, or we call them buyer persona keywords. These are the keywords which I call “Golden Keywords.” If you're targeting the customers who want to buy iPhone cases in Los Angeles, then your main keyword is “iPhone Cases” and in order to create long-tail keywords, you would have to be more specific in your targeting and create some long-sized keywords. (Note: Following long-tail keywords aren't generated from any software, neither do they exist. They are created for the explanation purpose) - Buy iPhone Cases in Los Angeles - Best iPhone Cases in Los Angeles - Buy Cheap iPhone Cases in LA - LA iPhone Cases Best Prices - Best Prices iPhone Cases Los Angeles Did you see that? I've changed a two-word keyword “iPhone Cases” into a five-word keyword. The idea behind a long tail keyword is that it is way easier to target a long-tail keyword, Buy iPhone Cases in Los Angeles”, is easier to target when compared to “iPhone Cases.” Example: Best Weight Loss Diet for Moms, Best Shooting Games for Android, Best WordPress themes for Teachers, SEO Tips for e-commerce. These are our GOLDEN KEYWORDS SOME GOLDEN KEYWORDS EXAMPLES - Best gaming chair under 200 - Best super automatic espresso machine - Best mattress topper for side sleepers - Best acoustic guitar under 1000 - Best fishing kayak under 500 - Best dive watches under 500 - Best dog food for french bulldogs - Best tennis rackets for beginners - Best mountain bikes under 2000 HOW TO: FIND THESE GOLDEN KEYWORDS?

Create a list of 5-10 generic keywords around your niche and save them in your notepad or Excel sheet. You should be completely aware about your niche market and the sub-niche market. 2. Check Google auto-suggest Google auto-suggest is one of the awesome ways to find the keywords which are not only good keywords but LSI and long tail keywords also.

The term Apple is used for “Apple Fruit” and “Apple iPhone.” So how will Google differentiate that which Apple you are talking about. They will simply look for the LSI keywords and identify which Apple are you talking about. If they see the keywords like Install, iPhone, Steve Jobs, they will consider it an Apple iPhone. On the other hand, if they see LSI keywords like eating, fruits, salad, health etc. in the article, Google will understand that you are talking about Apple fruit. LSI keywords are very important to add more value in your content and to make it more SEO friendly. We are going to use 2 tools to find LSI keywords 1.
