Mini (Niche) Affiliate Site using a Forum – Part 2

Today I’ve been thinking a lot about traffic and the market in general. I am finding it hard to find where they hang out at the moment but, I know SilverSurfers are in abundence online these days.

I think I need to go after the out of reach keywords to at least get some numbers to the forum. Although this sounds back to front, for now I’m not too bothered with targeting Seniors Citizens as I think they will find me.

I know I need content as visitors will click away on an empty forum (not always the case) – I’m going to pay for this to get at least 50 members and questions/answers.

I’m going to get some backlinks built on these keywords –

“travel insurance”
“health insurance”
“auto insurance”
“car insurance”
“life insurance”

Some more easy to reach and targeted keywords:

“life insurance for over 50s”
“over 50s life insurance”

They are broad but not unbeatable on the Big “Google” I have checked my competition using a backlinkchecker- here are my results:

I’m going to use three services to help me while I get on with other promotion and tweaking the forum.

First Service:
Directory Submission not holding out for much but its worth outsourcing this duty.

Second Service:
Content writer on full time to help write Articles, blog about it, etc..etc…

Third Service:
Link Building Campaign to include Press Releases, Article Submission and Social Bookmarking.

I haven’t done any on page SEO based on these keywords but I will do that in the next part. I will now get these services under-way and carry on with monetization ideas and promotion.
