Choosing the Right Search Engine Keywords is Only 1 Piece of the Puzzle

It is a known fact; search engines do not wear shoes nor buy underwear. They have a mind of their own that has no emotion. If you pay for an SEO firm, I am going to give you search engine optimization tips that have proven themselves to me in 2009. If you want to be amongst the shining stars (top ten ranking) you may want to make some notes here..

Your search engine optimization plan should focus on basic fundamentals: – get targeted traffic and convert traffic. You should direct much of your attention to getting the most meaningful search engine traffic you can! Here are 5 ways to do it:

  1. Hire a professional online content writer
  2. Use your own keyword-rich (not stuffed) articles with surgical interlinking
  3. Employ keyword phrases throughout your site in moderation but tagged with emphasis.
  4. Listings in good web directories should be a part of your promotional plan. E.g. DMOZ
  5. Make a list of keywords used by your buyers or subscribers

Always Think of Your Website

Research your market well and try to spot niches that gel well with your site theme. Analyze your competition along with their current SE positioning, try to reverse engineer. Let this be your 1st phase target. Don’t sit and wait after you launched your beautiful site. If you are looking for ways to promote your website, you need to think out of the box, but remain on the good site of spam. All of the major Se’s have declared war on spammers; as they should…be careful not to innocently be wrongfully accused of such!!

Be Rewarded for Good Manners with Google

One of the most critical Se’s to consider is Google (Roughly an 80% market share in Canada) . This search engine will tell you anything you want in seconds and have the world’s largest share of daily search hours. The day Gbot spiders your homepage is the beginning point to Google Traffic. The reason Google is dominant is their basic “honesty and fairness”policy which really means they don’t manipulate natural result pages. In order to keep a healthy site you may want to register with Google Site Maps. The maps are the best way to maintain site functionality with Google and help your site’s pages get crawled by Gbot. Keep right on top of your market by subscribing to Google Alerts. Reading latest SEO news will also help you stay within guidelines. You must be careful not to get caught up in quality control filters that Google uses to purify result pages!

Market and Keyword Strategy

Do you know how to search for targeted keywords that describe your site? It’s pretty easy. You can use many of the online tools provided by Google themselves, such as The AdWords Keyword Selector. When you use keyword suggestion tools, like Keyword Selector or Google, get your notepad opened up and copy and paste all of the SEO keywords that you receive then further fine tune edit them. It is not worth it to waste your efforts or time on keywords that have nothing to do with you or no search volumes. Use keywords from the start to the finish of every web page with a certain frequency that does not trip a Google Spam filters. Really pay attention to the keyword density (less than 3%), placement within Meta tags, title and content in the body of each page. The time taken now with these details will benefit you both on page and off page SEO for web pages bearing this treatment.
