Today I decided to expand on my keyword research tutorial by going into more detail about finding and using effective keywords properly. I’ve received a lot of questions on how to apply this and after giving it some thought I decided to do something not a lot of affiliate marketers do, and that is show you a real live example of a niche I decided to try and promote.

The reason is to show you exactly how I did my keyword research using another practical example. In the main keyword research tutorial I used the keyword ideas behind keyword marketing research as the example but this time we are going to look at an actual niche.

In fact for the purpose of this tutorial, we are only going to use 3 tools; Googles free keyword suggestion tool, wordtrackers free keyword tool and google search itself.

Now I also wanted to also show a working example in progress, so I also decided to show how I went about creating this tutorial and how I chose the keywords that I chose for the purpose of writing this tutorial. I feel by showing you how I did this it’ll give you ideas on to apply this keyword strategy to your own blog and articles and help you make more money with clickbank or other affiliate marketing programs.
