Using google trends to increase traffic…

Using google trends is pretty easy and straight forward, it’s also a great way to find new niches for new blogs and topic web sites.

First thing you want to do is go to google trends.
Next you’re gonna want to click on ‘More Hot Trends’ on the bottom right. This will give you a huge list of 100 hot trends.
Next you’re going to want to choose which trends to blog about, I think it may be best to only pick no more than 5, 2-3 per day should be good enough.
You can click on each trend to bring up a side by side google and google blog search on the topic, you can go to the blogs and just rephrase what they say, don’t copy and it’s best if you use more than one source.
When writing your post make sure you use the exact trend phrase that they give on the trends page. This is the keyword that you will want to get ranked for. You want to use it in your title, in a heading(h2 or h1) and at lease 4-5 times in the body of your blog post.
Be sure to link out to other blogs on the same topic, as you will get pingbacks and that will increase your rank.
A good tool I use to help me when blogging is called Zemanta and it makes it easy as pie to include related articles, and images.
On posts that you make on google trends that aren’t related to your blog, be sure to put up a disclaimer explaining what your blog really is about and giving people a method to subscribe easily - this is a good way to build future traffic to your blog, I’m sure many who visit will share some of the same interests that you do and will be interested in hearing more about them…
Don’t over do things, don’t do this everday, and don’t make it the only thing you do…This is a nice way to bring in some fresh traffic and increase your money however it’s not a great way to run a successful blog - use it sparingly and just as a tool in your arsenal, for example I’m planning on doing it one day per week, starting next week. I will keep posting updates on my successes and failures using this tip.

Follow these easy tips and I’m sure you’ll be successful using Google Trends to bring in more traffic.

Here is a little secret: .com’s only matter to major business sites, and big time blogs. The key to successful Niche building, is BULK SITES. The more the better.

If you have the money - by all means go and buy up 100 .com websites for $800.

If you’re poor like the rest of us - or a bit frugal - you might want to try .info names instead.

Godaddy.com is running a special right now where you can actually buy .info domains for $.99! No, that is not a typo. You could buy 100 domains for $100.

I recommend going and buying at least 10 domains right now. Of course before you buy your domains you should definitely research some profitable niches, I highly recommend using webceo to do this.

My suggestion for creating and choosing the domains is to research your chosen niche, find the 3 keywords that appear the most, 4 keywords max, and choose a domain like: keyword1-keyword2-keyword3.info - I’m not a super expert at this though, I’m still experimenting myself - have you had any experience using dashes vs no-dashes in domain names? Let us know!

Stay tuned, as I am building a couple Profitable Niche Sites myself and will be running a contest and actually giving away my most productive niche blog. You don’t want to miss this! Subscribe now and stay up-to-date!
