Keywords to Help You Make Money Online Now

 

 

Are You Missing Out

Are you new to web marketing? And looking for a niche place in the cyber world? Or, are you simply looking for a great rating among the search results of major search engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing? In any case, you must become very good at finding highly sought after keywords. Yes, by finding keywords, that are in demand and in your niche market, you will certainly be able to improve  your search engine ranking.  Keywords are not as important as they were five years ago because search engine algorithms have evolved to distribute search rankings differently, but, it doesn’t hurt to be really precise with keyword selection.

 

The purpose of searching keywords is to find out the exact phrases that are requested by people in the searches conducted on the major search engines. If your website contains the relevant information about the most searched terms and keywords, your website would be rated higher by the major search engines. The entire process of improving search engine ranking for a website is a wide process and is called search engine optimization. Finding keywords is one of the most important parts of search engine optimization.

To start the keyword search for your website, make a list of the keywords related to your website. You can easily find the keywords by using online keyword services. One popular keyword service provider on the web is word tracker. Using word tracker tools and services, all you have to do is to type a keyword and wait for the list to appear on the computer screen. And you will you have direct access to hundreds of keywords related to the keyword you have typed in the box.

 

For instance: your website is a website that markets and promotes skin products. Type the word “skin” and you will have all the top keywords related to skin. The keywords will be something like: skin care, oily skin, skin diseases, skin products, animal skin and so on.

Now you have to select the relevant keywords for your website. You cannot choose animal skin for your site which caters specifically to the human skin cosmetics and skin care. Yes you can include the keywords like skin care, skin cream, dry skin, oily skin and many others.

You have a number of keyword services and tools that can help you find the most searched keywords for your website. While you select the keyword with the help of these tools, you will also come to know how many times the keyword has been searched on the internet.

Let us go back to skin example: suppose you select dry skin, you can also track the exact number of times “dry skin” has been searched on the internet. The number can be very large. If you choose “dry skin type”, the number of searches can be less. So, you are should probably select the keyword with a higher search count first.  Minimum 3,000 searches per month is a good place to start.  If you are trying to sell a product online then the keyword selection changes to words that are in demand but not overly saturated because the amount of clutter becomes too great.  Buyers are more focused when you pinpoint “long tail” keyword strings, as opposed to individual keywords.  Often times individuals typing single keywords are not even in purchase mode yet and sometimes start the general search process with single keywords.  Keywords that include colors, sizes, and feature specifics are generally used much closer to the time of purchase so keep this in mind if you are trying to offer products.

Another tricky method of finding keywords is to keep an eye on your competitors. Look at the meta-tags of your competitors’ website. The meta-tags are a good source of significant keywords. You can also seek help from your customers regarding the keywords they use in their search queries as well.

Having a blog page in your website is also helpful in tracking the keywords. Each blog page has a link which shows the keywords being used to search your page. Once you have the right keywords in hand, you can hit the market with the most relevant and desired information on your website.
