Squeezing Out The Most Traffic From A Long Tail Niche Market

Let's say you know how to locate a long tail niche market and identify the profitability of it.

Then you have your site up and running.

Got a product to sell.

And let's assumed that every little, nitty gritty thing is already taken care of.

All you need now is traffic. Real traffic.

Traffic that converts into buyers.

It turns out that this targeted traffic is easier to obtain in the long tail niches.

Let's take search engine optimization for instance. You should know by now that targeting the right keyword to be optimized is crucial for success. Even if you're the #1 SEO Guru and you do all sort of onsite or offsite optimization, you're not gonna get listed if you don’t know how to select the keyword.

You think I'm kidding. Just go to any SEO expert and tell him you want to get rank for the keyword "hosting", "business opportunity", "real estate" or "lose weight" and he'll has a hard time to do this. Probably shaking his head now.

If he can, that’s great. He's da man.

Let's look at the other way round...

With minimal knowledge of search engine optimization, I think you can get rank for long tail keywords such as "hosting company in Australia", "health supplement business opportunity", "how to buy real estate" or "how to lose weight for man".

That's why I said getting real traffic for long tail niche markets are many times easier. The first concern someone will bring up is that these keywords will have very little online searches only. That's true but who's asking you to just optimized just one keyword?

Keyword like "how to lose weight for man" can be derived or expanded to "losing weight for man", "how to lose weight fast for man", "how to become slim for man", "how to lose fat for man" and the list goes on. If all of these can give you free targeted traffic, what's stopping you to optimize new keywords each time you're free?

Just like Adsense income. I don't rely my Adsense income from one site. I have tens of thousands webpages 'floating' on the internet for the sole purpose of generating income from Adsense. But that's a totally different story because we're not here to talk about Adsense.

And search engine is just one of the many good ways to get traffic.

Here's another tip:

Have you ever consider of having your own forum for a long tail niche market before?

By just doing this alone, you're going to attract traffic to your site and unleash it out virally. Guess what- when someone is looking for a niche forum, they'll use the search engine to find. Just try. How about searching for "Persian cat forum"?

See the listings that come out. Examine the sites and you'll soon realize that they’re not your typical sites created with the intention of search engine optimization. But they'll still be on page #1 because no internet marketers are trying to crush them and besides, Google.com rank sites based on relevancy.

And by becoming the ONLY ONE forum that caters to this long tail niche market, you're going to get others to start referring their friends over. Free traffic.

This is another scenario of market domination in action. But if you want to create a forum on a general niche topic like 'health diet', good luck to you. Not impossible--just be prepared to do extremely a lot of work to compete with hundreds of other forums out there.

What you're learning here?

The market can never be too small because we're dealing with a worldwide market reach and electrons.

However, I don't see myself using SEO to get traffic as the number one choice. There's one strategy to get traffic that I highly recommend... I'll share this in my email tomorrow.
