So far we have covered,
**********************

Day 2 : Finding Hot Rabid Buyers full of niche?

Day 3 : Keyword Research – Sink or Swim, Latent Semantic Analysis and Mining Long Tail keywords

Day 4 : Competition Research For Organic Traffic & Paid Listing(Pay Per Click) – “Know your enemy, know thyself and WIN” – Sun Tzu

***********************

Well, we have come quite far already, Now it’s time to plan the attack… No it’s time to attack.

Now is the time to buy your Domain name and hosting for your website.

How, Why and Where of Domain & Hosting buying?

Ok guys, first are two places that I highly recommend. For buying Domain name, You should try out http://www.namecheap.com and for hosting http://www.hostgator.com.

They are the best.

Second thing : When buying domain name, try to avoid Hyphen in the domain name. (ie. internet-marketing-tips.com etc avoid them) If you check the results, you’ll find there are not many domain names in top 100 with hyphens in it. SEO guys try to tell you this… But I’d rather trust the results I am seeing than what anyone else says…

To prove my point, why not try searching for “strength training workouts” in google and notice the results yourself for first 100 results. I was able to find only 2 results… That’s it. You can do this for number of search terms and get the same result. Very few sites with hyphens are in top 100…

What does that tell you?

Having hyphen in your URL might not be a good thing…

Still don’t believe me? Brad fallon’s famous website is myweddingfavors.com not wedding-favors.com

Internet Marketing center’s website marketingtips.com

Russell Brunson’s site dotcomsecrets.com

Cody Moya’s freeinternetmarketingtips.com

all are in top 10 of their respective keywords in market.

Ok lets get to next part for today’s work.

Go to ezinearticles.com and Find out 7-15 good, high quality content. Though Ezinearticles.com’s editorial staff is high on quality but they can’t do much about the topics writer chose to write on. They can’t stop anyone re-writing the article topic in their own words and submit.

So we need articles that focus on one specific problem for your market. Try to find as many as possible because We’ll need these articles for tomorrow’s attack.

Now I don’t want to give you too much work today. If you haven’t done competition analysis on major chunk of your keywords, then finish it today.

So Here’s your Work for today:

1. Buy Domain and Hosting.

2. Find High Quality articles on Ezinearticles.com (15 or so)

3. Complete your competition analysis on most of your keywords

    Good article. Just wanted to make a slight correction that Brad Fallon’s website is http://www.myweddingfavors.com, not weddingfavors.com. But that doesn’t have a dash either. ; )
