Never Ending Traffic

Recently, a Keyword Research program that I use began returning Google results in Chinese characters. My preferences are set to English and I have no proxy server running (so my IP address shows that I am in San Diego, CA and not Taiwan or something.)

Any ideas how to correct this? I ran a thorough virus scan last night and no viruses were found. I am running an adware scan right now. I just cannot think of any other ways to correct this.

I checked thru my settings and didn’t see
anything different to alter, but then I
thought maybe you should alter your
search engine to another one, like MSN
or whatever else you have access to.

I have extensive plans for a new niche Social Networking site (nothing like fb or myspace). It will require a google maps kind of interface as well as wiki’s. Also people will need to be able to upload pictures, videos, and have their own mini-blog on the site.
Any suggestions for any of these components?

I do this sort of thing for a living. You need money. Those are NOT cheap. In order for you to get what you want in it, you need some programmers and designers to build it for you. Search the web for some web programming services to get in touch with. Create an RFP and submit it to some businesses. Basically, unless you are an incredible programmer, you need some help.

Hey guys just need a little advise from you pros out there. I think (or hope) that I have the keyword research area down but I need some advice to see if i am doing this right.

I was strolling through sitepoint.com and was looking for a good niche to dive into and came across the niche "acai berry" to I did a quick look on the amount of hits this exact keyword recieved and its around like a 18,000 or so but the competition is in the millions so i looked down the list and found another longtail keyword which was ‘acai berry juice’ and it recieved like 989 hits per day and only has like 266,000 pages of competition. I decided to launch my attack that this level. The only issue that I have with this is that the number of daily hits for any sub keyword for ‘acai berry juice’ tappers off quickly. I mean the only other sub keyword that has a good amount of daily hits is ‘acai berry juice benefits’ that gets around 155 hits per day and only about 961 pages of competition so I figure I’d hit a gold mine but the only problem is that everything below that sub keywords only get hits in the single digits or teens.

Did I dig to deep into this niche to wrap my site around? Should I have moved a little more broad to a term like ‘acai berry’ ?

Thanks for any advice on the whole Keyword Research you can shed my light on.

I’m not concerned about this site being competed against as i only launched this site as a test so see if i could get some traffic to this site regardless of making $$$$

PM if you would like…I hope I am doing this right…

there is nothing wrong with the way you chose your keywords, but you should try to find as many long tail keywords as you can, that you think you can rank for in Google.

one or 2 keywords usually doesn’t get the job done unless you only want a sale here or there.

also to rank well on the search engines, you will need a well optimized page, and back links to your site.

We are looking to start a business for a Social Networking website, similar to Facebook/Myspace. We want to get an idea of how much it would cost to get the website design, hosting, and any other costs associated with running an online company. Thank you.

not a whole lot,,,
$100-120 for hosting service per year
free-$250 for ‘Facebook/Myspace’ script, depending on what you website you want to look like, one time fee
$$$$-lot of money for advertising…your biggest expense
trust me that’s about it.

I have found my websites core keywords: "keyboard reviews"

I’ve decided to wrap my entire site around those core keywords. When it comes to researching keywords for my sub pages do i simply just use the keyword variations that the google adword tool comes up with or do i try to think what i think people would type into Google and try to optimize for those regardless of traffic potiental?

1. Make sure any keywords that you use are also on the pages. If not, then it isn’t counting and the search engines will think you are keyword spamming and that will hurt the page/site.

2. The title of a site should be (or a part) in the URL as well.
www.example.com/keyboard-reviews-for-2008.htm

3. Each page should have their own unique keywords. If you have a site like a Forum which uses a template, then leave it out and the words you are targeting in bold or bigger on the page.

4. Watch your meta tags, often things like "revisit" tell the bot to come back another time. Do you really want to turn a bot away who’s trying to index your site?

Here is one page I made and the hits it gets using the techniques.
http://411newyork.org/

The page is in the top 5 for the titlle and URL and beats out the .com, the .net versions which should rank higher.
