I’ve been celebrating the holidays, of course, having fun with my family and cleaning up after them so I haven’t had much time to look into the new version of Digging for Gold. Finally, this morning I opened it up and I’m so glad I did!

For anyone who’s looking to make money online with a blog, you’ve got to get your hands on this ebook! It’s really a no-brainer since it only costs $7, for pete’s sake!  And you can sell it for the same price and make your investment back many times over. So it’s way worth it.

Author Jon Orana used to be an out-of-work web designer and programmer who saw his college roommate making money online with his own websites, cranking out one after the other and making money through adsense. So, Jon decided to dive in and see what he could do.

After much wrangling and failure doing search optimization the old-fashioned way, he came up with his own system of “digging for gold” that enables him -and you, if you read this book - to discover hidden keywords and phrases that will help anyone dominate the search engines.

Jon teaches how to unveil hidden keywords not just in search engines but in forums and any kind of “answers” board. You’ll learn how html tags can help you discover the competitiveness of a keyword. And a “backdoor approach” for figuring out the daily search count for a keyword using Google Adwords.

Finally, the biggie…a keyword technique (taknique is what Jon calls them) using Google Adwords and Analytics that reveals long tail keywords guaranteed to have no competition and that will convert.

If you’d like to make money online with a blog, this Digging for Gold is a must-have.  Excellent information and Jon is always available to provide more help along the way if you need it.

That’s what I call a no-brainer!

Last minute tip: I just finished installing an excellent tool that will help me in my long tail keyword research. Kenneth Koh recommends it and discusses how useful it can be in his blog post. It will save you lots of time when you sit down to evaluate sites and blogs as well as helping you do that long tail keyword research.
