As usual, Felicia – relevant, timely and invaluable. I’m pretty sure I have nothing to add to this conversation at this time but will certainly be following what others say, especially about social networking. I have a facebook page but really don’t get the point. Thanks for all the links – I’m checking them out now!

Comment on How an eHow Experiment Helped Me Earn a Couple of Bucks by Felicia

Sharon, you're right. Creating the site and finding the keywords is the easy part. Getting people to read it isn't as easy. Check out my latest post were I discuss this in a little more detail.

Thanks for your response Felicia

I have been better about keywords on my main site as I have been learning all this over the last few months. However, wow, getting web traffic does seem much harder than I thought it would be!

Hi Sharon,

I’m glad you felt comfortable enough to comment (I too am a lurker on several blogs and forums).

I think the reason for the number of page views is keyword positioning and topic. Since eHow has already done the topic research for me, when I write a post, I choose a few keywords and repeat them about two or three times in the post. My posts are short so two or three times is plenty.

For example, if my eHow article tells me that “Chardonnay Wine” is a great topic (I’m pulling this out of the air), then I’ll grab the domain http://www.stuffaboutchardonnaywine.com or http://www.aboutchardonnaywine.com and start writing. Let’s say in one of my post I concentrate on the proper wine temperature. I might use the keywords “chilled chardonnay” at least three times in the post, once in the beginning, once in the middle and the again at the end. For some reason, this seems to work.

I can’t say it will work all of the time, but it has worked for me. Spend some time experimenting to find what works for you.
