Learn To Optimize Your Site For Search Engines
Welcome To SEO!
In recent times, I have been closely studying keywords that have famous city names at the end of them and what I have discovered is nothing short of amazing. My research started off with pay-per-click ads. With Google Adsense the same keyword with only a city inserted at the end can attract substantially higher paying adsense ads to your site. That really surprised me and I went further and researched the kind of traffic the same keywords get for different well know American cities. Again I was in for a shock. Some cities have very high traffic for a certain keyword when you compare them to others for the same keyword.
What all this means is that you can target certain high traffic niches by simply adding the names of cities to the end of your keywords. On your site you can go further and do a little research about a certain keyword subject in the city or cities that you are targeting and have a page for that city. The effect is that your site will end up being ranked very high in certain cities. This should automatically drive more traffic to your site. In fact you will be able to reach traffic that you would not have otherwise been able to reach.
The really amazing and attractive thing about this strategy is the fact that you only need to make very minor adjustments in your existing content, maybe even only create city pages with exactly the same content adjusted. What's more, with some subjects you only need to plant the name of the city in the article a few times and you will have started targeting popular searches that include the names of popular cities.
It really is amazing that such a simple thing as inserting the name of famous American cities can make such a huge difference in the traffic and earnings of a website or blog.

Hens Lay Eggs (HLE) by Silke Stahl
"HLE" is a bit of a joke term, (or possible tongue in cheek could be a better label) coined in my Network Marketing Group - it stands for "Hens Lay Eggs" and is a take on the exponential growth theory - recruit two people, who recruit two, etc, and in six weeks you'll have 50,000 people sending you $250,000 - the false promise of MLM.
