Google Is Like The Stock Market
by Vic on December 13, 2007
This post is for Jason and Mike from BZ both work the TV and Movies niche. Now why is Google like the stock market? In the stock market the ones that can predict how a company will do and buy stock before that company breaks out kills it. Well this applies to Google too.
Instead of explaining I will give you a real life example and hopefully you folks can figure this out.
I made a search on upcoming movies to be released that where based on a true story. I came up with one that was about some one that there was not much written about him on the net. The movie was Resurrecting the Champ with Samuel L. Jackson. Now as a stock investor I did my research on what the movie was about and it turned out that it was the story of a writer and a boxer named Battling Bob Satterfield.
Now what makes me really good I what I do is I understand Google’s algorithm and I understand how people search. So I knew that after people went and watch the movie what do you think they would do as soon as they got home? They would get on there computer and search either “Battling Bob Satterfield” or “Bob Satterfield” now most bloggers that wrote about this movie wrote about “Resurrecting the Champ” I knew people would not search like this they would go for the name. So I wrote my post keyword focus on the name. Now I wrote my post on August 17th, 2007 the movies release date was August 24 2007 so from the time I wrote the post till the day the movie was released I got anchored keyword links pointing to my post Battling Bob Satterfield by the time the movie was released I had a PR3 page.
Now go to Google right now and search Battling Bob Satterfield and Bob Satterfield as you can see I did pretty well. Now what are the results of doing this.
On August 24 2007 I received over 20k unique hits on this post alone and since that day I have totaled over 128k unique hits and made on this post alone over $1,500.00 now guess what happens every time some one rents the DVD mmm 
Now this works with any niche, you just have to do the research a bit different and it might be harder to get inside information people will be searching for down the line.
This is a quick lesson but it is an easy way to game the system and Google will still love you and not bitch slap you.
As you can see Google Is Like The Stock Market all you have to do is the research before your stock goes hot.

Vic, I appreciate you taking the time to write a blog that addresses something Jason and I do, while I know it applies to everyone else as well.
Now, I think I've seen what you're saying already happening on my blog. Superbad came out on DVD a few weeks ago, and ever since it has, my views on that blog post seem to be in the top 3 every day, even though the original blog post was two months ago. It was about Superbad t-shirts.
The same thing for SciFi showing their movie Tin Man. I wrote about it a week before it came on TV, and the days leading up to it, I had hits looking for reviews.
The great thing is that I find myself appearing on the first page of Google A LOT it seems, and quickly.
My main problem is this: I like my blog, I don't know if I'm into slapping tons of ads up and just trying to quit my day job to do this fulltime, but I'd like to monetize it as best I can and keep it a cool blog.
That's the hard thing for me. You said you made $1500 off that post, but exactly how? Adsense? What else?
What can I do to mine to turn it into a success like that?
I am already trying to get some Amazon stuff in there slowly, but soon I need to try some Adsense or something.
Mike tomorrow I will make a post on monetization that will probably answer your question.
Wow,I have a lot to learn. Where's that subscribe button.. ah there it is. Thanks Vic.

Welcome Caveman,
I hope there something you find helpful in our little corner.
I think Mike pretty much hit the nail on the head for me too. I think he and I already have a lot of the background information in our heads about upcoming films and projects so we could take advantage of opportunities like you mention, but I'm not sure I'd care to do it on my personal site.
I'll wait and see what you say about monetizing in your post tomorrow. I'm sure you know answers to questions we don't even know to ask.
By the way, Vic, thanks from me as well for addressing this issue.
You know, one thing that I would like to point out, and I'm sure it's something I'm doing (probably wrong), is that the posts of mine that tend to get the most hits from Google are not even my movie posts but the articles dealing with news, current events or something along those lines. My Zoey Zane posts have gotten a lot of hits (not exactly surprising but a little disturbing). Not sure how to take advantage of that.
Jason this is totally related to how Google works. I will explain in great detail later on how Google actually provides search results most people really do not understand it. But anyway example Zoey Zane search only brings up Results 1 – 10 of about 188,000 for Zoey Zane this states that there really is not much content for that search string. Now I have no idea who the hell Zoey Zane is but apparently in the days people where reaching your site this was a hot search and Google needing good content for there users considered your site with authority on the keyword.
Now I do not know if you and Mike really really got my post. So let me recap to make sure.
Guys it is not knowing what movies are coming out it is knowing what people will search. I will give you guys an example and you can test this out your selfs.
Make a post with the title "Pretty Woman Lyrics" now make a post about the movie and use that search string at least 5 times inside the post. Go get like 10 anchored links now sit and wait.
As soon as you see 100 hits in a day go to your TV Guide and go look for the movie Pretty Woman. This never fails every time, every time Pretty Woman is on TV that search string gets hot.
My point on my post there where over 50k post from bloggers about the movie I did not focus my keywords on the movie I focused on the keyword people would have in there mind when they left the movies.
So let's say that you know a movie comes out Friday but you are able to look at the cast and you see there is a new actress that will have a pretty big part guess what I would focus my post on her name because you will not be able to compete with the big boys for the movie name but they will not pay attention to the left over keywords. A left over keyword can still be 200k searches.
This is great advice. I guess that, in addition to building posts around the keywords that people are actually searching on, your competition for those keywords is less as others are posting around the more formal titles. This makes a lot of sense.
This is great advice! I have been going back over your blog to see what exactly I am missing to improve the money I am making online. It definitely makes me want to do more trends blogging.
Now I need to get into the minds of the audience. I can remember when Blair Witch Prject came out my kids went to the library and online to get more information on the subject. I never saw the movie so I am not sure what they were looking for.
Thanks for the info.
