Maximize Earnings Using Keywords with Ehow
Maximize Earnings Using Keywords with Ehow

We all want to make some moolah on eHow, right? But the thing is, each of us only has so much wisdom to impart that features words and phrases that money-dropping advertisers will be interested in. There's not a a lot of cash in the "How to Conquer Panama in Pirates! on Commodore 64" racket.

Unless you know how to spruce up your article with some keywords that is. By find ways to insert highly-searched buzz words into your lame article about polishing salt shakers, you can get way more views a day, and way more $$$ too!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Google Adsense.
  • A boring, un-sexy, completely skippable but also original How To article.
  1. Step 1

    So put together a How To Article about anything you feel like. Poaching eggs, watching Woody Allen movies, frisbee golf...these are all terrible subjects that no one in their right mind would seek to learn more about or spend money on, but that won't matter. Write your article in the most simple, straight-forward matter possible. As my example, I'm going to include segments of a How To guide for changing the oil on a typical 49cc, Chinese-built scooter.

  2. Step 2

    Once you've got an article put together, go on Google Adsense and find some keywords that generate a lot of views and advertiser competition. Some word and phrases I found for this example are "Jon Gosselin" "donkey punch," "Hydroelectric power, ""Pepsi," and "Asian."

  3. Step 3

    So now we have to insert these words into your copy. We'll start with the example step: "After placing the can under the plug, use your wrench to unscrew the oil-cap. When the cap is almost completely loose, finish screwing with your fingers and remove, so that the cap does not fall into the can. All of the old oil in your scooter should now flow out into the can."

  4. Step 4

    First, we want to see where the keywords can be inserted most subtly. "Asian " was one that seemed relatively easy:

    "After placing the can under the Asian scooter's plug, use your wrench to unscrew the oil-cap. When the cap is almost completely loose, finish screwing with your fingers and remove, so that the cap does not fall into the can. All of the old oil in your Asian scooter should now flow out into the can."

    See how easy that is? you've got a highly-searched keyword in there, along with a bunch of references to screwing and cans! Your viewer count is going to go up for sure.

  5. Step 5

    Some phrases may seem a little harder, but you can be creative. For example:

    "After placing the can (old Pepsi can with the top cut-off will work fine) under the Asian scooter's plug, use your wrench to unscrew the oil-cap. When the cap is almost completely loose, finish screwing with your fingers and remove, so that the cap does not fall into the Pepsi can. All of the old oil in your Asian scooter should now flow out into the Pepsi can."

    The article is still barely altered, and yet it's Google-ability is starting to approach How to Find Russian Wife levels.

  6. Step 6

    When it starts getting a little harder to find ways to insert key-words, turn to metaphors! Here's an example:

    "After placing the can (old Pepsi can with the top cut-off will work fine) under the Asian scooter's plug, use your wrench to unscrew the oil-cap. When the cap is almost completely loose, finish screwing with your fingers and remove, so that the cap does not fall into the Pepsi can. All of the old oil in your Asian scooter should now, like water streaming through a hydroelectric power station, flow out into the Pepsi can."

    It makes you write gooder and increases the weight of your piggy-bank. Nice!

  7. Step 7

    If you've got a pop-culture-type keyword, that can be hard to fit into your actual instructions. So throw it in as a super-snarky joke!:

    "After placing the can (old Pepsi can with the top cut-off will work fine) under the Asian scooter's plug, use your wrench to unscrew the oil-cap. When the cap is almost completely loose, finish screwing with your fingers and remove, so that the cap does not fall into the Pepsi can. All of the old oil in your Asian scooter should now, like water streaming through a hydroelectric power station, flow out into the Pepsi can. Even a Jon Gosselin should be able to accomplish this relatively easy maneuver!"

    Watch your back TMZ! (TMZ is also a great keyword, btw. As is "cakes"). Now your article also has some humor, like those "(insert genre here) Movie" movies. And those movies are pretty Fing funny, you guys!

  8. Step 8

    Always remember that more is better. What's worse, that one reader gets a little annoyed by one word's overuse, or no readers get pissed off cause you're article shows up on page 9875 of a Google search. 'Nuff said!:

    "After DONKEY PUNCH placing the can (old Pepsi can with the top cut-off will work fine) under the Asian DONKEY PUNCH scooter's plug, use your wrench to unscrew the CAKES oil-cap. When the cap CAKES CAKES DONKEY PUNCH is almost completely loose, finish screwing with your fingers and remove, so that the cap does not fall into the Pepsi can. All of the old oil in your Asian TMZ scooter should now, like water streaming through a hydroelectric power station, DONKEY PUNCH flow out into the Pepsi can. Even a Jon Gosselin should be able to DONKEY PUNCH these relatively easy CAKES!"

    LET'S GET IT!!!

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember to go back to your articles to keep the pop-culture keywords updated. Like in this example, I'd probably need to change Jon Gosselin to "Tim Allen Santa Clause 4" in a few months. Just find and replace, little work for big money. Chyeah!
