I use Google AdSense to help get a return on expenses of hosting the site. One thing I’m attempting to learn more about is how to best utilize keywords, search engine optimization and proper ad placement without taking away from the quality of the site. In the past, I’ve briefly experimented with Commission Junction, PepperJam Networks and Amazon Associates to get a feel for each affiliate marketing option. Ultimately, I prefer the simplicity of Google AdSense. For those like me, below are some free methods to finding the right keywords to assist you with creating relevant content.
