Massive N00b Questions! - KW numbers too big / Tier system
Ok, don't judge me, big time newbie over here.. just getting back into the game.. I've read pretty much this entire forum and I'm quite familiar now with GSA..
I have two questions that I just can't get my head around and I'm sure one of you can answer them for me in a second:
1) Some of you have over 10k and sometimes 100k keywords per project, honestly, how targeted is this? I'm working in the beauty / cosmetic industry and I can't fathom the use for that many keywords? Wouldn't that be too spread out? Why are you using so many - especially if its a moneysite.
2) My second question relates to the Tier system.. I understand the science behind it, but I just don't get how you to use GSA for it?
For example, with Tier 1. Lets say I post 10 well written articles manually.
Would I then use GSA to backlink to these articles (is this tier 2?), if yes, what do I backlink? Do I send articles to those articles?
And then what the hell happens with Tier 3?
If there was someone that could slowly and simply explain to me these two points, I would highly appreciate it!

Hey @Ozz...
I have come to the conclusion that you don't need niche specific keywords for the 'article type' platforms we use for Tier1. As you said, articles, web2.0, social network has nothing to do with niche specific keywords.
I would say if you built a separate project for blog comments pointing to your moneysite, that is a great example of when to use a niche specific keyword list. Of course you wouldn't want many of these type of links.
But other than blogs, what else could really be that niche specific? Maybe a forum profile on a dog training forum??
I have gotten to the point where I do not believe a niche specific keyword list really helps. If anything, you want a big non-specific list to find as many websites as possible.
@Ozz, what do you think?
Your content should be relevant on all projects underneath a moneysite.
And yes to all your other questions, that is correct.
The # of links you build is completely up to you. You should experiment with different sites to see what works best. Smaller is better, and build up from there.
