How to make money online by counting cards

By Zigfred Diaz

As I wrote in my pervious articles, one of the greatest sources of a higher traffic is the optimization of the proper keywords and in order to do this we must be able to search out high trend, low density keywords or what I call personally as HITLOD.

Just like how great artists and inventors suddenly come up with a brilliant idea, HITLOD keywords often come to you even if you do not search for them.

I have also discovered great keywords when I go about my day to day experiences. For example, after I watched the movie 21 I began to search the internet for the real story behind the movie. (I always do this if I encounter a movie which says "based on a true story. I normally do not rely entirely on the Hollywood account because they often stretch the story too far to fit the script)

21 the movie is based on the book by Ben Mezrich."Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions." For the most part, the book is fictional however the life of the main character in the book is loosely based on the life of Jeffrey Ma one of the member of the MIT Blackjack Team who was a brilliant MIT student.

The MIT blackjack team was composed of students and ex-students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and other colleges. The team used counting cards techniques to beat the casinos in the game of blackjack.

The operation of the MIT blackjack team was run like a real business. It was very organized and very impressive. It is said that they earned an estimated $3 million to $5 million U.S dollars by paying black jack in casinos worldwide and beating the game by simply counting cards.

"Blackjack is a beatable game," This was the motto of the group. To win at blackjack all you have to do is use simple math and employ simple counting cards techniques.

After reading several articles on the MIT black jack team, I listened to the interviews of Jeffrey Ma. It suddenly dawned on me that people would start to follow them and start searching for the terms "black jack", "counting cards in blackjack", "counting cards", "how to count cards" or other similar keywords. I tried which keyword combinations is the best and found out about the keyword "counting cards." Even I myself became hooked with "counting cards."

"Counting cards" has only been referred to in 443,000 site as of today. There is spike in the Google trends graph. This could have been caused by the release of the movie in theatres sometime late March 2008.

Since the search for the term "counting cards" only began in 2008 it can be surmised that interest in the keyword "counting cards" was brought about by the release of the movie 21.

"Counting cards" may be a good HITLOD keyword. However it's being high trend could only be temporary. After sometime, it is my belief that people will stop searching for the "counting cards" keyword after the movie has reached it's maximum peak popularity.

Despite that observation, "Counting cards" is still a HITLOD keyword as of today. So sieze the opportunity ! As the movie is still new, people will still search for the "counting cards" keyword. If you have properly optimized the keyword, no doubt it will bring tons of traffic to your site. Blog about "counting cards" today and start counting the traffic to your site, later on count the money that comes with it !
