Get intimate with your website visitors (become a mind reader), make keyword research a whole lot easier and increase your conversions…

Very informative and will certainly implement your suggestions. I am already doing quite a few of your suggestions,but some I have not,like twitter and surveys. Thanks for your ideas. Diane http://www.the-million-dollar-desire.com

Your article on how to better know your customers
(read their minds and become intimate – or super acquainted)
is thorough and clear.

Have you considered writing your articles or blog entries
in chunks?? It would keep us reminded of you more often
and more people would read it. (Being able to read a
fully developed article is good, but you could probably
have a continuation link on each segment or something
like that.)

Keep writing!

Since I’m a “rank beginner” I would have had no idea how to
go about the things you discussed. So to me it is a goldmine. Thanks Jim! Norb

Jim, great article! I always enjoy your postings as they stimulating and allow me the opportunity to re-evaluate the purpose(s) of the web site that I hope to have up in the next few weeks. Hopefully you would do me the honor of a critique.

Thanks,
Sam

Excellent article on what you really should be doing to get inside the minds of people in a niche. This beats the heck out of the “head over to Clickbank’s Marketplace” advice the guru IM marketers dish out. Also serves as a way to determine how motivated people in the niche are before you start marketing a solution to them – which can keep you from wasting time and money on a niche where there’s little motivation to pay for a solution. Thanks Jim!

Thanks for so many great ideas.

I’ve just started out building my website for art activities for kids. I’ve been an art teacher for 20 years now, and just had to get them “on paper”, but my son said, do it on the web, so here we go…

We have been using NicheBot for our keyword ideas for the site’s main theme, and each post, it’s fabulous. We already rank on page 1 for “art activities”. Thanks so much for your valuable service.

HI Jim,

Good advice, this is actually supportive to another document I finished Reading tonite called the Internet cure.

WEB 2.0 allows us so much more now, we have to use it.

Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

Lisa

P.s I hope you follow me back on twitter,lol

Hi Jimbo readers n posters … well that’s food for thought … I would not be surprised if more than half of the bloggers who build pages of information online ever give a second thought to what you have shared above myself I have a website building tool kit and I’m always in conflict with is my sites pretty enough or is my sites spider fodder enough is my content reader-able enough this has to be one of the biggest issues on the web today every one including me thinks TRAFFIC!! … well traffic may or may not come and go so my focus today will be what traffic returns on a regular basis like we all do who come here to this blog every time we get the call … so right here right now is the million dollar traffic answer … do it like Jim simply by observing how keywords are not only for your search engines more for your audience plucking better still those who keep returning pluckers (-;

All my best to you and your pluckers
Phillip Skinner

Thanks for the pearls Jim,

I always leave your site with some information I can use and need.
Of your 5 tips I wasn’t aware of 3!
Thanks again,
George

Gee Dude, you should really look into writing a book. The information you give out is priceless.
Don’t laugh, I’m serious.
I’ve been on your mailing list for yonks, and sometimes you’ve recommended other peoples products to me, but your own information rocks.
Sometimes common sense isn’t all that common, but I’ve yet to see anything written by you where you don’t hit the nail right on the head.
Thanks for everything so far.
I’ll be on your mailing list until a meteor crashes down to earth and wipes out your server.

Hello Jim,

Please don’t write in chunks. I much prefer substantial pieces which are stimulating and coherent. Good job on this one. Not too much new, but well-organised with an action plan.

Jim, you are a goldmine of information. You have revealed some new tools and helped me better understand how to really get into the mindset of my targeted audience.

I have my work cut out, but now I know exactly what needs to be done. Thank you.

Good article as usual..I think all websites should run a script to increase text size with one click.

Good article Jim.

I am using a lot of your suggestions already and I plan to get more familiar with Twitter in the upcoming days. I just started using Twitter recently, but After reading your post I beleive that I have underestimated it’s value for market research opportunities.

Thanks again for the informative post.

I just want to take the time to thank you Jim. You have been intstrumental on the success of my site. You’ve given me free information that I know is more productive and practical than some material I’ve paid for. Again. Thanks.

My question is:
Why do you want to get intimate?

To serve them well, with good solutions, recommendations
or
to make money out of them.

Money can blind many. Trust can be gained, but is it deserved?

When at the end of this life, can you still say that the trust that was given to you was not abused for solely personal means?

Just a thought, because I once was hungry for money and prestige… and I still have to watch out for it.

Building trust starts with your self.

Do what you want, as long as it hurts none.
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Sorry Jim,

I forgot to mention:
Good article/resource…
I need to get down to the nitty gritty to be more intimate with my own possible visitors. ;D

All the Best.

Very valid points. A lot of information can be gleaned out of the keywords that people are using to get to your site.
I’ll start focusing on this more now.

I think one of the “best sources” to get to know people and their needs/frustrations etc. I simply to ask them. Use an “About Us/Me” page on your blog or site to not just to go and blow about yourself and your abilities, but rather get personal about “them”, use a survey, or request comments about what THEY want/need. They will tell you what frustrates them about your niche. Then you can offer “help” or “solutions”.

My second contribution:

I’ve found great benefit in registering domains with 1 or 2 main keywords … which I gleaned from my search engine logs. In other words, if customers type in “commercial Lease Agreement”, i would try to register that domain. If it’s not available, i will use prefixes like “mycommercialleaseagreement.com” (just an example, don’t know if the contract site exists or not

I stay away from hyphens in the url.

Works like a charm… and i can prove where a site ranks well based on its domain name only, without any incoming links and without any keyword text on the home page (it’s a single page site used to park the domain) But this domain still ranks high for the term “contracts” in South Africa.

Cheers! Gerrit

You need to have an angle to come up with a way to use some of these Web 2.0 ideas like Twitter when driving traffic to an ecommerce store that handles physical products. Some of this traffic doesn’t convert that well, but with the right ideas you might be able to drive sales.

Great advices from you again. Some of them I already knew, but most not! I’m sure to use these advices. Thank you!

I am in the process of building a site about affiliate marketing and will sign up for Nichebot soon to promote your affiliate program. Keep up the good work, Jim!
