The process that I went through
Here is the exact process I went through.
- Keyword research
- Advertising check
- Content availability
- Find a good domain
- Build a simple site
- Basic linking and promotion
Keyword research
The first step I take is to find some potential keywords and then evaluate the competition.
Google offers a fabulous free tool for finding potentially good keywords. You can check it out here.
I typically like keyword phrases that have three or more words in them. The phrase “stop hair breakage” has three words in it. The reason I like to go for phrases with more words is that there is typically less competition for that phrase.
Once I have found a good keyword phrase using the Google tool I will do a little bit of competition analysis.
First I will go to Google and search for: stop hair breakage
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=stop+hair+breakage&aq=0&oq=stop+hair+br&aqi=g4g-m6
Looking at the search results I can see that there are 75,300 websites competing for this phrase.
Next I will go to Google and search for: “stop hair breakage”
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=”stop+hair+breakage”&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g2g-m2
Looking at the search results there appear to be over a million competing sites. This seems a little off considering the previous search results.
Now I’m going to search Google and see how many people have the the words stop hair breakage in their title
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allintitle:stop+hair+breakage&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
There are only 1,480 sites that have these words in their title. This is a low score and it looks very good.
Now I am going to search google and see how many people have the words stop hair breakage in their URL
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allinurl:stop+hair+breakage&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
Only 373 websites have these words in their URL. I can definitely compete with that!
Advertising check
Initially I plan to use Google AdSense for my advertising. So it’s important to know if there are many ads for these particular keywords.
Going to Google I do a search for stop hair breakage and count how many Google advertisements I see over on the right hand side. The more ads I see the more people are competing for this particular keyword. More competition means that I make more money per click with Google AdSense.
I decide that the advertising is sufficient for the keywords: stop hair breakage
Content availability
Next I need to worry about how I’m going to build content for the website I am thinking of building around the keyword phrase stop hair breakage.
One of my favorite ways to get content fast is to go to Ezine Articles. I did a quick search on Ezine Articles for my phrase stop hair breakage and I find that there are a few articles available with my keyword phrase in the title and body. There aren’t as many articles as I would like ideally but that’s okay.
Find a good domain
The next step is to find a good domain. Ideally you want to find a domain with your keyword phrase in it and have it be a “.com” or a “.org”.
I also recommend avoiding “.info” domains as they are frequently used by spammers and sometimes take longer to rank in the search engines.
I quickly discovered that the domain stophairbreakage.org was available.
It was at this point I decided to take the plunge and buy the domain. Up until this point I was only doing research. But the keyword research, advertising, and content on ezine articles looked good. And I found the ideal domain.
Build a simple site
To build this site I am going to use WordPress. WordPress has numerous advantages including:
- search engine optimization is super easy
- adding new content is a snap
- you do not need to know any HTML
- there are many plug-ins that will help you add advertising to your website
- There are numerous web hosts that allow you to install WordPress with the click of a button
For my website stophairbreakage.org I paid someone a small amount of money to add content copied from Ezine Articles.
I also put my AdSense ad front and center where people were most likely to click on the ads.

Basic linking and promotion
Many people think that this is the hardest part but frequently it’s quite easy. Because there is so little competition I don’t have to get very many incoming links to get my website to rank high.
And that’s exactly what I did for stophairbreakage.org.
