Selecting proper keywords is the key for increasing your earnings on ChaCha. Here are some tips for selecting good keywords:
* Look for a list of mostly searched keywords on major search engines. Compare the statistics of different search engines to determine the most occurring keywords.
* Select a more generalized keyword rather than choosing more specific ones. For example, selecting the keyword "Movies" is better than choosing "Top 100 horror movies".
* Take a look at ChaCha's search trends. It will be slightly different from other search engines because it employs human guides.
* Select keywords from different categories and sub-categories. Initially I made a mistake of choosing more keywords under one category. So the targeted searches were mostly from that category. Choosing a wider range of categories would definitely increase the number of searches targeted towards you!
* Get trained on as many keywords as possible. This would help when they change the system to keyword oriented search queries.
