Hi Wendy, Cammy and Curt-
There are so many excellent training tutorials in Renegade Professional that it is easy to get stuck in “laptop land” —absorbing all the great information. This Monday’s webinar will be a great boost to get out in the “real online world”. Looking forward to The Works Team live training!

Hi Wendy, Cammy and Curt:
Like Bev stated above, Ren Pro has a ton of information to absorb and you can get distracted easily. However, that’s why being on these training calls are so important to know where to begin and how to continue to move forward. I’m looking forward to the coaching call and wt training today.
Cheers,
Charlotte
Hi Wendy,
I have a couple of questions from last night’s training call. You had mentioned that a keyword that had 74,000 hits was too big and went for one that was 6,000 hits. In the training for building a website through SBI, Ken Evoy recommends a keyword just under 80,000 hits as “the sweet spot”. Are there different rules for blogs?
For my website, I tried to find a KW that was at 74,000 hits for the main KW for each page. Of course, for some pages, I couldn’t find one and went lower rather than higher. Are you saying that we should go with lower-hit KW’s for website pages, as well as blogs? What do you recommend as the “sweet spot” for KW’s?
I am also wondering about what I’d write in a newsletter? Is it basically a blog post sent in an email? Still have to set up Oprius and do that training.
Thanks Wendy, Tamara
Hi Tamara,
Great questions. Actually the SBI Action Guide has this to say about keywords,
“As a rule of thumb, any keyword with a Demand (“Searches” in Wordtracker’s tool) that is greater than 3,000 is going to be toooo broad. As a ballpark rule, consider Demands between 300 and 3,000. Remember that any Site Concept with a Demand towards the higher end of the scale is bound to be harder to “win.” It can be done, but it will take more effort and time.
The keyword for your Site Concept itself should normally have a Value Demand of greater than 2,000, preferably over 3,000. If it’s a new and growing area, accept a lower number, sometimes substantially lower (depending on your passion and estimate of future potential).
You should also have two or more other keywords that are near or over 1,000, and 10 or more in the hundreds (lower these thresholds, too, if this is a new or growing area).
A nice “sweet spot” area, if you are going to be doing SBI! part-time (say 2-10 hours per week) is a Site Concept Keyword with Real Supply in the 30,000-70,000 area. The lower, the better, especially if it’s combined with many high Demand keywords. Higher than 70,000 is certainly do-able, and is especially worth the effort if good Demand is plentiful and if you are willing to put in a bit more work to win this niche.
What if the potential Site Concept was just too broad? Find an interesting keyword in your MKL that’s related to your original Site Concept. It will usually be a “smaller part” of it. And then… do a Vertical Brainstorm on it!”
For more details you can refer to Day 2 of the Action Guide.

In the example on Monday, Carol had a lot of good seed words relating to coaching, and that is what I was focusing on because they did have the word coaching in them, even though coaching itself was probably a bit too broad. You can eventually broaden your niche, or gain traffic from more competitive keywords after you’ve gained traffic and are ranking in the search engines.
Hope that helps to clarify.
Hi Works Team -
On Monday evening’s webinar a site was given out for how to shorten URL’s. Could you repeat the info again?
Thanks much.
Hi Bev,
It is scissurl, http://www.scissurl.com/ There are others too, like tinyurl, but scissurl allows you to have an expiration date and a password to your link, which is a neat feature.
Hi Wendy, thanks so much for your answer. I basically focused in on finding the main KW for each page at 74,000 from the Google KW Tool. Then added lower ones for the other 2 KW’s on the page.
I’m wondering if I should go back at some point and redo the KW’s for my website. I know it’s a lot of work, but I wonder if it will increase my traffic. I’m still at 10 visitors/day and my website was basically done in April.
