I thought that it was about time that I did a review of The Keyword Academy (TKA). For those of you that are not familiar with TKA, it is run by Court and Mark. Both of these guys are 100% honest and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to driving traffic to your website or blog.
The number one lesson that you learn at The Keyword Academy over and over again is that you need to create original and high quality content for your site and then go about obtaining as many links to that content as possible.
Without links from other sites pointing back to your blog, your posted pages will more or less be ignored by the search engines. The best traffic that you can hope for is search engine traffic. So it is a good thing that Court and Mark keep hammering away on the importance of it.
The great thing about getting visitors from search engines is that they are looking for exactly what you have on your blog. They searched for it and found you because you wrote an article about what they needed.
Any Review Of The Keyword Academy would not be complete if it didn’t talk about how the site helps their members obtain links. Their site has so many wonderful link building tools that they are easily worth the monthly membership that you pay to belong.The three most utilized and successful link building tools on the site are:
- Connect Content: With CC you are able to post what links you need into a “link bank”. For every link you give somebody a credit is put in your account. You then are able to use those credits to get links to your site. It is an excellent tool and a great way to get a link.
- The Link Exchange: A member of The Keyword Academy took the time and put in a great deal of effort to set up a link exchange on Yahoo. Once your a member of TKA you go to the Yahoo Groups section and sign in to the link exchange. You tell people what article you would like them to link to and then wait for people to reply. Normally you’ll get a few replies the same day! People will link to your site and ask that you send a link to their site. You can get quite a few quality in text or blogroll links using the link exchange.
- Guest Posting System: The guest posting system (GPS) is the best link building tool at The Keyword Academy. What you do is write an article that is at least 300 words long and of good quality. You then login to the GPS and submit your article to one of the over 100 article directories. With your submission you can include up to 2 links back to your site. The more guest posts you write the more high quality links you get back in exchange.
By utilizing these three tools that The Key Word Academy gives you access to you will immediately start to notice you websites moving up in the rankings of the search engines.
My Review Of The Keyword Academy is positive not only because the site provides great link building tools but also for the informative webinars that air monthly. One other section of the site that I enjoy is the forums. You get to communicate with people who are making pretty good money using TKA methods. You will learn a lot from these people and it’s nice to be able to talk with others that are doing the same thing you are.
I don’t think that anybody could give a negative review of The Keyword Academy. It is a wonderful site that delivers more then it promises. You wouldn’t go wrong taking the site out for a test drive.
I think you missed several important points:
1) TKA has a Keyword Research tool (nicherefinery) which cuts down the manual process of looking for keywords.
2) Court and Mark have a genuine interest in making TKA the best im tool out there with great support and continued enhancements such as CC, GPS and nicherefinery. My guess is that they’ll keep adding features.
