Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. Makes things much clearer

Here are a couple of things I was confused about (dont worry theres not that much really, its mostly quotes from your article!)

KEYWORDS + ARTICLES

“Now that I have my keywords, I place each one in the Google Search tool again and see all of the related keywords that go with them. I now create my website pages, reviews, articles, and social bookmarking blurbs. “

Okay, so here in the quote above you mean that you take your 4 base keywords that you've got, and write one article for each one, then write an article for each related keyword to your base keyword? (You say later: “I have by now created a minimum of one article for each keyword phrase.”)

The anchor text within the articles – I understand that this should be one of your 4 base keywords/phrases, and it should not link to the homepage. But does the page it links to have to incorporate the same keyphrase/word as in the article's anchor text?

Also – the amount of keywords per site. So, you have 4 base keywords/phrases, then 4 related keywords/phrases for each base keyword. Totalling 20 keywords/phrases? Is that right?? My sites are small – some only 4 pages. I can barely cram 5-6 in there! Should i reduce the amount of keywords?

The other bit of the article I didnt understand was just this sentence:

” All of these either have the keywords in them and they have the related keywords.”

Its just the inclusion of “either” that confuses me – do you mean:

“All of these either have the keywords in them OR they have the related keywords”
or
“All of these have the keywords in them and they have the related keywords”

SITE STRUCTURE + LINKS

There is also this part which I got a bit panicked about..I know this is one of the most important parts of the article as you refer back to it at the end, so I'd like to be clear on this and would appreciate your help:

“You have to ensure that you link all of your pages within your sites together,”

Do you literally mean add a link from every page of your site to every other page of your site? If so, what if you have a blog? you'd end up with huge long lists of links to every other post on your entire blog, plus every other page, on every page??

“…preferrably with a Silo type structure. “

I tried to find out but could not find anything that'd simply tell me what a silo is, either!

As you can see I've studied your article pretty hard, and am going to use it as a guideline for my first ever SEO project – thankyou very much!

A lot of good questions here. First off, yes, you can use just Market
Samurai and SENuke and you can be successful. Especially if you are
focusing on one main website. The basic premise is this, the Keyword Anchor
text you use initially is your base keywords. This keyword(s) is the main
one you are focused on for your site. However, when you do your Google
Keyword Search, you will see a lot of related keywords. Look at this list
of keywords and you will pick which ones apply to your site and target
audience the most. Use these keywords in the text on your site's pages, in
Titles, and in your Meta Description and Meta Titles. Once you get done
with the base backlink strategy outlined here, then start working in these
supplemental keywords as Anchor Text keywords in your articles and at any
site you can submit to using SENuke.

Does this make sense? Do you need anymore specifics?

I don't have time to answer all of this right now as I am traveling. When I
get a chance over the next few days I will answer your questions.

Thanks for this very insightful article. To give you an idea of my background, im intending to implement this strategy for my blog to try and get more hits for potential freelance modelling work. So, although im quite informed compared to the average person in my industry, im no expert, and i got a bit confused by some points of your article.

My main points of confusion are:

1) I have only the budget to use Market Samurai and SENuke, and can trial a good article rewriting program. Is this plan still for me as i may not be able to use the other software so may have to skip steps – i know id have to skip directory maximiser and Link farm evolution steps.

2) If this stil is for me, the one thing confusing me is: those extra keywords you search for after youve established your 4 related keywords to your base keywords, and how these extra keywords come into play in this SEO plan:

“I place each one in the Google Search tool again and see all of the related keywords that go with them.” – so you search for more keywords related to your 4 keywords that you found from the intial base keywords? How many do you look for? And what do you use these extra keywords for?

Further quotes below come from intial confusion over those extra keywords you search for after youve already got your 4 main keywords.

“All of these either have the keywords in them and they have the related keywords.” - i dont quite undertsnad this sentence. when you say 'the keywords in them' are you refering to your base keywords, or your more specific 4 keywords that youve got from your base keywords? when you say 'and the related keywords' do you mean 'or the related keywords'? And by related keywords do you mean the keywords related to your more specific 4 keywords, or the 4 keywords related to your base keywords?

“I use the spin feature in UAW to ensure I cycle through my 4 keyword anchor text phrases across each article, so I spread all of the keywords across all of the articles.” – and do you mean by this that you vary what keywords you use within your anchor text across different variations of the same article? by 'keyword anchor text phrase' do you mean simply a link containing some of those 4 keywords you established within step 1, to the site youre trying to promote?

Sorry this is such a long post. I have also tried to bullet point your strategy in my own words as a test. It would be very helpful if you could clarify the above for me or even more so if youc could take a look at my bullet pointed version to see if i am getting what youre saying right.

Thanks so much for your time. I very much appreciate it.
