This is an excellent question, though not such an easy one to answer. Let's look at a few examples:

The key phrase 'earn while you learn' netted a whopping 55 1/2 million results on Google. The phrase 'affiliate business opportunity' still came in a staggering 15 million results. These are examples of what are generally known as short tail keywords, which, as you can see, have a massive amount of competition and thereby are not good picks.

Now let's look at a couple more. The phrase 'earn while you learn to make a six figure income' netted in at 2,280,000 results and the phrase 'earn while you learn to earn a six figure income from home' came in slightly lower at 2,270,000 results. Can you see the difference?

To achieve the best results, you want to be choosing key words and key phrases that are strongly related to what you are promoting, whether your SFI business directly, or to get PRM or ECA signups at TripleClicks, or promoting a product from TripleClicks, that are unique enough so as to not have a lot of competition yet not so unique that people are not searching for your chosen set of key words or phrases.

Hope this helps. See you at the top!
