Twitter is a wonderful tool for getting targeted traffic, but there are few helpful guides out there that show you how to find a seriously targeted lead, which you can target not only by demographic, but by the interests that they have. If you have tried expensive software for this, then you will no doubt have realized that it is not an exact science, and you are using the same features as most free websites or tools.

One of the best free tools out there is Tweetdeck. The best way to use Tweetdeck for your followers is to load up the main window, and enter a search. Always put your search term in quotes, so you are not getting the words as a broad match in the tweet. Let’s say you are trying to plug a golfing niche website, and you are looking to find people who are avid golfers. The first thing you would do is perform a search for the type of tweet a golfer would make. So you wouldn’t be searching for a very broad term like “golf tips”, because very few people would say “i need some golf tips lol”. You need to get creative, and get into the mind of the Twitter user. If you were going to play a round of golf today, and you were tweeting about it, what would you write? Also, when you had finished said round of golf, what would you write?

When you start getting into the thought process of the visitor you want, it is quite easy to turn them into fantastic visitors, who will sign up for your newsletters, and click your ads. Anyway, now we have found some people who are tweeting about actually playing golf, you can follow them. Once you follow them, it’s a good idea to slowly reply to their tweets, without targeting your actual website. Simply respond to a few tweets, and get into a discussion flow. Then later, you can start adding links to your golf site.

Deciding about what your going to blog about and most importantly picking a domain name for your blog is the most important part of starting your blog.  The reason i say this is because you want a domain name that is going to match the content of your blog and also a domain name that is keyword friendly, even better is if you choose a domain name that will have your main keyword within your domain name, this will help the optimisation of your blog and also help with your search engine rankings.

What i do is, first i research the keywords that have less competition for the niche im going to blog about and also has a good amount of monthly searches.  I use Googles free keyword tool:

Simply enter in a keyword related to your niche as below, for this example i will target a niche blog on “LCD TVs”:

Then you will receive the results, on the match type field select Phrase as i’ve done below.  This will put quotes around the keyword and give more accurate results.

Now what you want to do is go to Google.com and see what competition there is for this keyword.  What you want to do is find a keyword that has less then 50,000 competing websites because the less competition for that keyword the more likely you will rank on page 1 for that keyword.

For example go to Google and do the following with your chosen keyword (The keyword I chose from my list was “best flat screen tv” which has a monthly search volume of 9,900) making sure to put the quote marks around your keyword as I’ve done below:

Now once you have chosen the keyword you want to target, next is to search online to see if there is a domain available that has your main keyword within the domain name.

The ideal domain extensions you want are

1. First option for .com if its available
2. 2^nd option if .com is taken is .org
3. 3^rd option if both .com and .org are taken then get .net

If all 3 extensions are taken then what you can do is add something to the end of the domain for example:

www.bestflatscreentvonline.com

www.bestflatscreentvworld.com

www.bestflatscreentvinfo.com

etc..

Make sure you don’t have any dashes (-) in your domain name and make sure your keyword starts at the beginning.
