KGR Q & A - DS007 #DougShow #Best Education Page #Online Earning

hey what's going on this is the Doug

show in this episode I'm going to answer

some questions about the keyword golden

ratio if you missed the previous two

episodes you will want to check them out

probably before you listen to this

otherwise it's not going to make much

sense at all

so let's get to the questions I'm

sitting here in my my closet I'm sitting

on the floor I was I was actually

recording all of the audio at my desk

previously and it was just recording

straight into GarageBand but I have this

recorder it's a zoom h4 and I got a used

off ebay got a good deal under 100 bucks

I always like to get a good deal and I

am aware that audio quality is so

important especially for the spoken word

I mean this is a freaking podcast right

so the quality of the audio matters a

lot and over over time you know I've

done a lot of YouTube videos but over

time I've realized some of my earlier

videos were terrible

as far as audio quality and even the

ones that were much much better like

when I got a high quality mic a shure

lens hopper that sits on top of my DSLR

depending on the room that I was in

sometimes the audio was still not that

great it was clear it was loud enough

but there was still like an echo and one

of my friends she knows that I've been

working on a podcast a little bit she

sent me an email about what's called

like the pod booth or something like

that and basically it looks like a I

don't know like a stand-up shower

kind of thing I guess there's framing

around it and then it looks like moving

blankets or it looks like a little tent

it looks like a little fort that you can

sit in it's kind of like a phone booth

size something like that and you know it

has all these like moving blanket kind

of things all around it

anyway it's supposed to help dampen the

sound it reduces echo and all that good

stuff now the reason why there was such

echo and some of the other

videos that I was just mentioning and

sometimes even when I record her in my

in my office zone is there's like walls

there's like flat hard surfaces and a

lot of the videos that I did I recorded

those like in my living room area or in

the kitchen or the dining room is all

like one big open space it's wood floor

fairly tall ceilings you got big windows

in there there's all these areas that

you're gonna get an echo which is

exactly why when I went back to listen

to see you know what the audio quality

was like was a little weak

hence I'm sitting on the floor in my

closet with my zoom h4 and there's

clothes all there's clothes hanging up

all over there's not that many surfaces

that the sound can bounce off of so

hopefully there's less echo here now a

lot of this is just you know like normal

self-indulgent I'm just talking about

what I'm doing and why I'm doing it but

it's not bad to sit on the floor and

actually uh my good friend Georgie the

dog the border collie is sitting with me

here so I could also you know be a

little closer to her sitting on the

floor with her alright so today we're

doing answers some questions about the

key word golden ratio and if you haven't

snagged the template yet for the key

word golden ratio as far as making the

calculations you can go to a niche site

project comm click the green button

enter your name and email address you

will get an email from me that has a

link to download many different things

one of them key word golden ratio

calculator additionally content

templates are available and the content

templates are sort of like my bread and

butter to you know get a lot of content

published I'm not doing the writing

myself I'm not doing a lot of the

details myself but if you're able to

hire writers effectively then you can

get a lot of work done so you can get a

hold of all that stuff and these

questions that I'm going to answer they

are from niche site project my blog

there's a blog post actually there's

several blog posts that talk about the

keyword golden ratio and

people they ask questions in the

comments so first one is from owls ooh

free alles ooh free and he says what if

I use the global monthly search volume

instead at the local monthly search

volume what's the impact and the

difference in ranking currently he says

he's using the kgr for his foreign I

take that as a non us-based site alright

so first of all I think we should say we

should just declare that the kgr is

primarily especially the 250 limit is

primarily targeted at you know US

traffic

hence the local monthly searches so I

think if you apply the kgr in other

localities right in other google

versions you may end up with some

different results I think in general not

always but I think in general the other

Google platforms I guess other

geographies is the right way to say it I

think those are going to be a little bit

less competitive so maybe you have some

more flexibility so al zoo free is

saying what if I use the global monthly

search volume what is the impact in the

differences the answers I don't know cuz

I've never tried it the other way I've

never tried to use the global search

volume but my hunch is it will probably

give you similar results and my advice

is to apply the formula as you you know

as it states using the local monthly

searches and target something right

because most people are going to be

using some local version and then tweak

it from there once you get some data you

could tweak it from there in a lot of

cases that's sort of my go-to answer if

I don't know the answer the answer is

you should try it see how it works out

for you and then you'll have some data

data point that you can go you can go

after all right and you know what we may

as well digress a little bit I see I I

didn't answer the question fast enough

and this is from several months ago

maybe even a couple years ago our fruit

al zoo free says well it looks like we

have the same local ask questions and

even worse asked by noobs like us

so Doug prefers to go

so Doug prefer to go to that expert guy

who commented and no need to backlink no

all right that he's losing me it's just

falling apart I'm trying to read this

but there's a lot of missing words so

anyway I didn't answer this question

fast enough for this person it took me

like two days and then my response again

this is just pure digression so I I

replied back and said for the people

that happened to be reading along al zoo

free sent me a rude email for not

replying to his comment fast enough and

then I said hey sorry this is how I

replied to the comment it was a fine

question and one that I didn't think of

I just got back from vacation so I took

a little time for me to reply to your

question in fact I thought I

thoughtfully reflected on your questions

so I can give you the best answer

possible anyway that is why al froz gave

me that's weird sort of rude comment

there anyway moving on to the next

question

Sammy says I'm having great results with

a kgr and it really works I have one

question do you go for keywords that are

plurals of high volume keywords and you

know the specific example doesn't really

matter

but the answer okay the second part is

would you still go for this or well

Google just treat them as the same yeah

basically Google is most likely going to

treat plurals exactly the same as

singular words in fact if you you know

look at the SERPs and you see the

results for a singular term versus a

plural term or phrase usually keywords

or phrases of some kind you're probably

gonna see the same results like 90% of

the

and you may see a couple a couple of the

sites the results shifted around so

maybe something ranks fourth one in the

singular version and it ranks fifth and

the plural version so Google pretty much

treats them just all right next question

is from Michelle do I avoid all the

keywords with more than 250 local

monthly searches because they are not

valid for the keyword golden ratio

calculation or do you try and rank them

once you've targeted all the keywords

with a kgr of 0.25 or less and less than

250 local monthly searches all right

good question Michelle the answer is I

don't avoid anything right so the

keyword golden ratio is a great way to

get started with a site it's a great way

to get traction on a site that's brand

new especially especially if you are new

to internet marketing what you don't

want to do is get started with a site

and then work on it blindly adding

content doing a bunch of work investing

money investing time and then not really

having anything to show for it the

keyword golden ratio allows you to rank

a little faster for some terms and

potentially get some traffic and

potentially even get some sales and

there are many examples if you just

start looking through the comments of

some of the YouTube videos if you start

looking at the comments anywhere the

keyword golden ratio is mentioned you're

gonna well you'll find two things some

people are gonna say it's horseshit and

it doesn't work and then there's the

other group of people that have tried it

and they're like yeah it works it maybe

doesn't work a hundred percent of the

time but it at least gave me a you know

a target to shoot at and I see what's

working and I can execute more and the

best part is you get a small win early

so when you're telling your spouse when

you're telling your friends what you're

working on and they ask you well you're

spending all this time you're spending

all this money have you gotten any

traffic yet to your site have you made

any money you can

say you know there's a tiny bit like

there's a trickle it's working I've made

you know three dollars and fifty cents

and you know I spent a hundred dollars

but I'm pay three dollars and fifty

cents and now it's a matter of doing

more of what's working so to continue

answering Michelle's question here I I

go for higher volume search terms as

well those are great they just take a

little bit longer and maybe they require

more backlinks before you could rank

maybe it requires longer content again

if you're starting a site from scratch

you're brand new to internet marketing

you may not be confident enough you may

not even have you may not know how to

write a post that's like 12,000 words

long that make sense that's overwhelming

that's like the size of some short books

all right so I go for higher volume

search terms yes I go for lower volume

search terms so let's say I have a site

that maybe I see most of the content is

targeting higher volume search terms

well maybe then I dial it back a little

bit and then I'm like I'm gonna go after

everything that has less than 50

searches per month because it looks like

there's not that much competition there

I see that often and I think that's a

good way to look at it like hey where

where is the market you know less

competitive right where's the market

less competitive that's what the keyword

golden ratio is all about but like I

said I go for whatever and if you can if

you're in it for the long haul you can

go ahead and go after some keywords that

are you know two thousand four thousand

eight thousand searches per month and

maybe it takes you a couple years to

rank number one maybe it takes hundreds

of links said ranked number one on that

but it's gonna pay off big in the law

all right next question is from Karl

Karl says I I think you're doing great

work here I want to ask you about a

completely new site and if I only

publish keyword golden ratio content

without backlinks and no blog commenting

well they still rank for those keywords

all right the answer is I don't know I

could say yes because I've seen examples

of people who published kgr content in

fact there's a few great examples on my

youtube channel people that have

interviewed if you just search for like

key word golden ratio success stories

that's what you'll find right so you

should find some great examples of

people that just publish content and

literally do no backlinking not even

blog comments so there are plenty of

examples and a few of these examples are

people making thousands of dollars per

month

all right thousands of dollars per month

month over month

so yes it's possible however I have

heard of just as many examples maybe

even more examples of people who have

used the kgr and they're unable to get

traffic now why is that well upon

further analysis I usually find that

they've made some mistake so maybe their

keyword stuffing here's here's one of

the most common things I see someone

finds like 50 kg our terms they publish

15 kg our or sorry 50 kg our articles on

their brand-new site and they've

invested all this time all this money

and they're using the Yoast SEO plug-in

which is a fine plug-in if you're using

it properly however a lot of people

don't quite use it properly so for

example let's say the keyword one of

these posts for one of these posts is

best ballpoint pen for bullet journaling

all right best ballpoint pen for bullet

journaling that's a lot of words but

it's not like six words I didn't count

it when I said it out loud but it must

be something like six words and if you

put that into the target keyword in the

Yoast SEO plug-in it's going to tell you

to use that keyword a lot it's probably

going to tell you to use that long

phrase several times maybe a couple

percent now when you do that that's

basically keyword stuffing so why is

Yoast

is this bad information right well the

Yoast SEO tool and all the other SEO

tools for that matter like the plug-in

rather those are made for the general

population people that are just blogging

they're putting out some content and

usually the keyword that someone may be

going for is like ballpoint pen right

they're not doing this advanced deep

keyword research that we're talking

about and if you're listening to this

you've probably already gone through a

couple hours of keyword golden ratio

content so that said I mean you're an

expert at this point you're an expert as

far as the knowledge of like longtail

keywords go alright this is advanced

stuff and most people don't get into

this level of detail

hence the tool like the Yoast SEO plugin

is not built for advanced SEO s like us

right there it's made for just the

general population so if you use best a

ballpoint pen for bullet journaling as

many times as you recommend x' to get

the little green lights or whatever they

use you're gonna be keyword stuffing

like crazy it's gonna read really

unnatural and basically you're not gonna

rank in Google so like I said there's

just as many examples of people using

the keyword golden ratio and saying it

doesn't work well it's because they made

some mistake that they didn't realize

that they were making so some other

issues you may have is like too many

affiliate links and you're in your

content maybe you have only maybe have

like 90 percent product related

affiliate content in your site so

there's all these like on-page and yeah

I guess primarily on page SEO problems

that you can like just mistakes that you

can make and you may not know that

you're making a mistake and you would

you would maybe look at the information

you're like well I try to use the

keyword golden race you know it and it

didn't work well the problem with that

assumption is there's like hundreds of

other people that are like telling us

that it is working so that means there's

probably and this is via the you know

YouTube comments it is via you know

Facebook rooms I mean you could even if

you look at me I'm not a part of many

Facebook groups

just not my thing but like if you look

around and some other Facebook groups

and start checking for the keyword

golden ratio or even on reddit if you

start looking around for the keyword

golden ratio and usage and success

stories and all that stuff you're gonna

find hundreds of people that are doing

really well with it and in my opinion

that means there's probably thousands of

people doing well with it because

there's only a small fraction of people

that are actually vocal about what

they're doing what they're executing and

the results that they're seeing so that

said there's a lot of people that are

making it work if you've used the

keyword golden ratio it's not quite

working out for you you probably made

some mistakes somewhere so hope not but

you probably made some mistakes

somewhere this next question is from a

man acres acre says hello I'm a huge fan

of all the stuff that you do and share

Doug oh that's that's nice to use to say

that's really kind I also learned a lot

from your webinars and blog articles and

I you know what I'll just keep reading

all these compliments is fantastic all

right further agar says I'm using the

kgr and I've had great results but one

question how can I calculate the kgr if

Google shows zero searches per month but

people actually do search for this term

google shows this term and these

suggested searches and he tips any

suggestions and he says in his niche

there's a lot of these kind of keywords

all right this is an excellent question

this is basically what do you do when

the search volume is zero especially

when it's an honor suggests and that's

what Akers is telling us here so

basically there there are three

scenarios where I'll go for a zero

search volume and again this is a common

question it comes in a lot of different

forms so and I think you can also like a

reverse engineer the question and this

will apply to many other cases so

basically if it's a zero search volume

and it's a Google autosuggest

I'll go for it I don't calculate the kg

all right so I if it's a zero search

volume the formula falls apart so I

don't calculate it I don't consider it

and I'm just thinking hey you know

Google is telling me that this is a

decent piece of content so I'll go for

it now I Google at first right at Google

at first and see what the results are if

all the results are just like these

fantastic sites that with huge Authority

and it's obviously well served

then maybe I skip it all right so maybe

I skip it if it's an autosuggest and the

competition looks really tough the other

time I'll go for it this is number two

is if it's a related search so you know

that's a very similar to a Google

autosuggest Google is telling you people

are searching it there's a related

search so if that's a zero search volume

again I'll google it see what the

competition's like usually I'll go for

it and the last reason this is less

common but if I just know it's a good

piece of content if I know it's a good

piece of content that I'll probably go

for it and in those cases is something

like actually if you think about my

internet marketing blog niche site

project I created a whole frequently

asked questions section I haven't

counted the words but I think it's a

list of you know several thousand words

some of them are shorter form but I put

a lot of time into creating that Q&A

section how did I know those questions

were asked well basically I did a ton of

YouTube live streams and I just kept

hearing the same questions over and over

again week after week and people still

ask them write their valid questions are

very common questions and the thing is

if you were to search for these terms as

far as a search volume I mean they're

long phrases like actually this question

that we're talking about right now what

do you do with the search volume of 0

it's a long phrase generally it is zero

so I haven't checked but I think it's a

zero search volume term they're

basically I knew people were asking

about it so I created a piece of content

on it so if you know it's

a piece of content that people are

looking for and you and you just know

because the niche is good then yeah you

would go for it then as well a couple

more questions here before we wrap it up

so next is a question from John he says

I have been reading your blog posts for

a while and I'm interested to try the

keyword golden ratio uh-oh sorry I have

tried the keyword golden ratio method

and I find a few longtail keywords

John's question is how do you put it

into the article is it a must to put the

keyword in the title of the article any

tips so yeah you want to basically put

the keyword phrase that you find into

the title you can potentially add some

other words in there to make it sound

right you know you don't want it to be

improper grammar or anything weird

additionally you can put some you know

something more interesting from a

copywriting perspective like you know

the top five pens to use for bullet

journaling and most of them are under 20

bucks you know something like that or

most of them are very cheap or something

like that so you can you know spice it

up a bit if you want and the other thing

so I use the kgr in the title and then I

use the kgr one other time and they copy

the rest of the time you can you know

just write normally and in fact I try

not to use the term too much because

what you don't want to do is keyword

stuff next question is from dan dan says

thank you for the useful information

about the keyword golden ratio I started

doing keyword research and I have two

questions number one assuming I find a

keyword with less than 0.25 for the kgr

it doesn't matter how many links the top

five sites have or referring domains and

let's say the kgr for keyword X is very

low but the top five sites have a line

of links won't still work all right

so I'll only answer that before I go on

so I won't forget what I'm talking about

so the real answer is does it matter how

many links the top five sites have yeah

it does matter on some level I think

what John is really at or Dan is really

asking is whether or not he needs to

check how many links my answers no all

right I think it's more important if the

specific article is providing the answer

to the searcher so you have to have the

searcher in mind do the number of

backlinks matter you bet

I mean the number of backlinks I mean

that's important but that's not the

primary factor that we're looking for

when you're trying to execute on this

keyword golden ratio so will it still

work yes sometimes sometimes it won't

work but usually it's a variety of

factors so just looking at the number of

backlinks is not enough to tell you like

yes or no for a particular term my

advice would be you know give it a shot

try it out see how your site does

against some of those bigger sites

especially for you know certain terms or

categories second part of Dan's question

is let's say there are only two all

entitle sites for keyword X and the kgr

is less than 0.25 does it make sense

that none of the two sites are ranked in

the top 10 or the top 20 wouldn't you

expect to see the two sites which follow

the kgr rules at the top that is a good

question so I haven't done like in-depth

analysis on that sort of thing trying to

you know figure out why those those

certain sites don't rank I would take a

look at the content I would suspect the

content sucks or is maybe like some sort

of a spun content site in other cases

you may find that the site has weird

backlinks and I'm thinking you're

probably going to find something unusual

with the site on some capacity so and

again I haven't spent time investigating

it but what I can tell you is that like

if you are putting out good content I

have seen it work and the other in the

other way when you publish good content

I've seen that work just fine

so you know the question is why aren't

those sites ranking I'm not sure one

would have to investigate that but in

general I mean you're applying logic

properly here it's like well if the

title is so important if these sites are

adhering to the title if they're going

after the terms that we deem underserved

on the internet why aren't those sites

if there's only two why aren't they

ranking like in the top 20 and I don't

know

I would guess there's some sort of like

on-page SEO issue or off page SEO issue

all right thanks a lot for tuning in

this time for the Doug show really

time getting traffic early on send them
