I did get on the first page of google for one particular keyword "halfwaterhalfgas" if you check it out you will see my wordpress blog and a few other things up there. however I have not made any sales yet with those but Im sure I will. I think I optimized for the wrong words because I thought there was less competition for halfwaterhalfgas then there is for half water half gas, but also less sales so I just use ppc and do see a good ROI so im going to leave it for now...But I did accomplish something by optimizing my pages and that is that I proved to myself that Craig's methods really do work (not that I had any doubt) and am 100% confident that I can go out there and optimize for some new launches and get some free sales which I have began to do...
I am not crystal clear on one concept from SAC and maybe someone can help me out....Do you optimize your keyword density (not including the tags) for all your pages for the same keyword? I dont see how you put "product name + revew" as 3% of your article and not make it sound awkward. If you just optimize all your sites for just the "product name" are you going to be at a disadvantage on launch day?
