This isnt a post about finding a niche for your blog, I am going to assume you already have a blog up and running and are looking for some high demand low competition keywords and keyword phrases.

Note: Before you begin, if you’re NOT 100% serious about getting your website to the top of Google, Yahoo, and MSN, don’t read another word. Only read on if you plan to put everything I will be teaching you into action.

If you’re anything like I was when I first began blogging, you’ve probably created a brand new Blog.  And then You did what everyonelse did: submitted it to a few search engines and hoped that people would auto-magically show up at your site and buy whatever it is you were selling. WRONG huh !!!

So typically what happens is this:
A little time passes maybe a few weeks and only a few stray searchers pop into your Blog, you decide to try and “optimize” your website around your main keyword in hopes that you just might rank well in 1 of the millions of search engines. Another couple of weeks go by and still no luck.

At this point you probably give up and decide to either build another website around a different target market or just lose all hope and quit. Well, news flash, as you’ve probably figured out by now, this is not the way to go about doing things.

Let me give you a specific example of what your very first steps MUST be when creating any website… no matter what the subject matter is. And this is something I wish I had of known or had someone show me. One of my first ideas was to do a weight loss blog, my girlfriend was struggling at the time with her weight, (it’s a chick thing I know). So I figured I had a very real insight and could get content via her torment with losing wieght, get her insights and all the rest.

Know what , why don’t we just do that our example, let’s create a weight loss related blog live right here on this blog anyone who wants to participate can. ( I get all the money though, hey its my idea so I get all the moolah)

Before we start creating and collecting content for the website, we need to do a little keyword research. This is VERY important and should not be skipped. To do our keyword research we need to visit a few websites.

The first of which should be:
http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/index.php?keyword=weight%20loss#results

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

They have a very good keyword tool, and best of all it’s free! Once we are there, we can enter the most generic keyword for our website into the keyword selector tool. In our example, our keyword would be “weight loss”. We get  85,100,000 for “weight loss“ searches for the month of June 2006.

Now that’s a lot of demand for weight loss just on the past month of June 2008! But that’s not all. What about the supply for that hungry demand of people looking for weight loss information, pills, programs, etc?

Well, the way to do that, and by the way this is called finding your competition. Go to Google and type the following (without the quote marks “”) “allinanchor:weight loss”.

Now notice on google where is says Results 78,200,000 for allinanchor:weight loss. Now this is what I call, some SERIOUS competition for the weight loss. If you are just starting and want to use this keyword to optimize your website, forget it! Yes, demand is high, but your supply, or competition, is so high that you can’t even consider optimizing your website for that particular keyword.

This is one of those keywords and niches that is very lucrative but might take for ever to rank for. Using the primary keyword phrase weight loss

So whats the answer then? How do I search for high demand but at the same time less competitive keywords? Very simple. I can give you some off hand data but I have to tell you that now a day SEO
(Search Engine Optimization) got even easier with a new tool.

You can take a keyword with a demand of about 500 to 30,000 searches a month using the seo book keyword tool mentioned above.

Yes you could take one which has over 30,000 searches if you have an unusual supply or competition which is lower than the requirement.

Using allinanchor:keyword on Google you expect to have a search result of 15,000 or less in order to say that you are on safe ground to optimize your website and rank higher, faster and easier.

Let’s review this next example, look on wordtracker down to weight loss foods with 99 searches last month, nice demand!, now lets see our supply or competition for this particular keyword using allinanchor:dotties weight loss zone on Google. Now you can see what we get: 58,700 for allinanchor:weight loss foods So what does this mean? You got it! GO FOR IT! 58 thousand is a bit on the competitive side but certainly we could rank high and fast doing proper use of that keyword on your website.

Looking at another term I find interesting is Weight loss spa:

Heres some information for you to consider adding in to your weight loss blog.

So there you have it. Always do Step 1 and if it is a pass, move to step 2 and if that is a pass, use it, if it doesn’t pass, go back to step 1 and find another keyword with proper demand and move on to step 2 again. Meet those two very important requirements and you will be able to start the right way.

One of the many things on my to do list was to get the do follow tag working on my side bar and the do follow for my Recent comments.

There are Do Follow plug-ins that do this. Tons actually. For instance Semiologic has one Dofollow

But being that my geek was over re-installing Windows XP on my laptop I thought I would get him to do the hack. Gotta love geeks!! everyone should have one. Turns out it really isnt all that difficult and it saved me and hopefully you hours trying to figure it out.

I screen shotted my way through this. Why Don’t I do a step by step How to Hack your wordpress core files to allow Do Follow of you comments.

First off why one earth would you even want to do this: Comments are the life blood of your blog, well in most part they are. Who on earth is going to comment on your blog these days when you just no-follow them. See what I am getting at!!

So here is what you’re going to do. Go to your C-panel or what ever it is you use. And look for this. wp-includes.

Then go find the comment-template.php

single click on it and look to the top right of your browser window. See this image

click that to edit the file. Once you’ve got that opened in your browser you’ll see abunch of mumbo jumbo code.

dont worry just do a search for the term follow. To do that click on Edit in your browser and select “find in this page”

Then you should be looking at this:

Simply change the “no” in nofollow to dofollow

save your changes and that’s done !!!

Check your blog to see if it has worked. (of course) click on the SEO for firefox icon on the bottom of your browser window toolbar.

So we know it is working. Phew always freaks me out when I am doing stuff like that. I’m notorious for breaking things and having to go about fixing them. This is safe don’t worry !!

So now we go about doing the same thing for the sidebar to get wordpress to display dofollow for the items on your side bar.

Again this next piece of information is in your wp-includes folder.

in this folder you’re looking for a file called default-filters.php

As in the above example where you edited the comments-template.php. Simply click on the file icon and find this on the top right of your browser window.

And again you’ll be faced with a bunch of mumbo jumbo code.

Again as in above just do a search for the term follow. Because that is what you’re going to want to change. So your side bar will not have the rel=nofollow tag everything in your side bar.

So after having done that you’re going to looking at this:

now according to my geek. Did I mention everyone should have their own geek?, yeah you really should. You have to add some // of those not sure what he called them, some techy term and the reason for it. Hey I’m not tech savvy so it went right over my head, I just want the results.

So it will look like this.

click save and you’re all done.

Then prove that it works. Again with SEO for firefox on

Notice that the links aren’t blocked out in red as they would be were you to have the rel=nofollow tag still active in your side bar.

And there you have it wordpress hacked to remove the nofollow tags. all in a few and easy steps.
