Day Five - Content Generation

So I have this fabulous idea, SEO key phrase, products to sell....just need content and a place to put it! Today, Ed and GuruBob shared some strategies for tracking down content (ie: articles) for our blogs (to be created).

First, GuruBob unlocked a new feature in Market Samurai. We can now search for our key phrase in several sources looking for articles. MS will retrieve them from major sites (Ezine Articles, Google Blogs, etc) and will also analyze them. We can see when they were written, how many other people have linked to them, and more!

I used my key phrase (also searched some of the runners-up just for fun) and it is amazing! No more going to each site manually, typing in the key phrase, guessing as to stats and such... It's all in one place! This is another great way to test out your key phrase to ensure there is plenty of content out there to play around with.

Ed also shared searching in Google News and exporting feeds to Google Reader. There is a lot of content out there....and it's so easy to find an article that resonates with you and your niche that you can share with them. Write a little introduction and then link to the source of the article. Great way to get content - legally! - without scratching your head and saying, "hmmmm".
