Keyword Research
This is probably the most important part of the proxy seo process, get this wrong and it’s going to waste you a lot of time with the next parts so pay attention. The aim of keyword research is to find keywords relating to proxies that people are actually using when performing searches on search engines like Google, Yahoo and Ask. If you are trying to rank for your own name go ahead, but its pretty pointless if it’s not going to bring in any extra traffic, why? Because nobody was searching for it before you came along!
Some of my favourite keyword research tools include this ones from word tracker, one from SEObook and Google Adwords estimation isn’t bad either. Using one of these tools we perform the following query: Proxy
What we see here is a list of keywords that people have been searching for on the Dogpile search engine, this is pretty accurate to what people search for using the more popular search engines. On the left of the keywords you will see how many searches are being used for those keywords (estimate), and as you can see there are a lot of searches being made on a monthly basis in the proxy niche. Now you may instantly think that you should try and rank for the term ‘proxy’, if so then feel free to go for it, if you dont mind waiting over a year to have any luck with such a keyword. Although it may bring the most potential traffic you should’nt go for something that is too difficult, some ones that come to mind to target include ‘Bebo Proxy’ and ‘School Proxies’ which bring less traffic but you are more likely to rank quicker for them and easier.
