I hope you had a chance to look at the lesson two. It is very important aspect of making your online store or stores successful. So why are keywords so important for your eBay affiliate business? Because that is how people are going to find you. Often, people over look this part and they wonder why their store was no where to be found. You see, the high competition keywords are hard to compete with. Depending on the search volume if the keyword is searched for 30-50 times, I would look for the competition that is below 5000 in “” So if my keyword is eBay affiliate, and it only gets searched for 30-50 times, I would type it in Google search box with “”. If a keyword I am going after has 75-200 searches, I would push my competition to around 40,000. And so forth. The reason why we are inputing the keyword in quotation marks is because it brings you results only with pages that have those keywords in title or optimized text. It has nothing to do with how people are going to search for it. One of the free tools I like is the Keyword discovery. It is part of seobook.com. When you find your keywords, than look for the long tail keywords meaning more than 3 words less than 7. You see, with your keywords and your hard work, you won’t people to find you that are at the last leg of purchasing cycle. Person looking for the information is not yet ready to buy, person looking for the specific product is ready to buy.

For example: car is not a specific keyword, but red sports car is a specific keyword or treadmill is a generic keyword, but treadmill pro-form crosswalk is a specific keyword phrase.

Now I hope understand why I am stressing the importance of the keywords for your eBay affiliate stores, because they are important!

I know, you are probably wondering, how will you compete with other people for those keywords, and I will explain that to you later on. We are not there yet
