Keywords – What Are Keywords?

By Kerrie Sheehan

Starting your own internet business is far more than designing and creating a website to sell your products and/or services. Before you do anything you need to find out if people are buying your products online and more importantly how they will find your website to buy your products. Just having a website is only part of the story of making money online.

It is equally importantly that you know what your competition is selling. Is it possible for you to be able to successfully compete with them and maybe even do better than them? In the offline world it quite easy to work this out as all you have to do is watch your competition but this is not possible in the online world.

Then again maybe it is by doing some research into online activity. You have to find out how people are finding the websites of your competition by being able to access what they are searching for online.

People usually use the internet to search for information to answer questions about their problems and/or desires. It is not uncommon for people to turn to the internet for answers when they have not been able to find the answers elsewhere. So what you have is people who are desperate for information and answers about their most pressing problems. They want them solved so are more than willing to pay for a solution.

So how do these people go about finding the answer to their questions online?

These days lots of internet users rely upon the search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo to help them search for solutions. However there are virtually hundreds of these search engines available for people to use but the top ones generate the majority of the traffic. It is therefore a good idea to concentrate on these top search engines to find out what people are searching for in regard to your products and/or services.

What are Keywords?

When a person uses a search engine they type in a word or more likely a phrase about their problem or what topic they want information about. These are keywords or keyword phrases. These words or phrases (keywords) are what you need to know so that you can design your website to target these thereby capturing some of this search engine traffic. The more targeted your website is to what people are searching for the more likely you are to generate sales.

How do search engines and keywords work?

A person might want to improve their golf swing so they type the phrase “improve golf swing” into a Google search. The search results page will show two types of results, paid and organic results. Try it by typing in “improve golf swing” in a Google search.

At the top of your page you will see sponsored links and also have a narrow column down the right hard side with more sponsored links. These are paid results where merchants have paid Google to list these results on search result pages for their keyword “improve golf swing”.

The rest of the results will be organic results or search results that Google has determined are the most naturally related to the phrase “improve golf swing”. The phrase “improve golf swing” is often referred to as a “keyword term”. You will also see that Google highlights the phase “improve golf swing” throughout the results.

As you can see if you can do some research and find these keyword terms that people search for in relation to your products then you be able to build your website to maximize your business opportunities from search engine traffic.

This means Google will determine your website to be naturally related to certain keyword terms you have optimized your website for and thus list you in their organic search results. The closer you can get to the top of the search engine results for your keyword terms the more traffic you will get to your website.

Also after you identify the keywords that are applicable to your products and/or services you can also launch a paid advertising campaign and have your website listed in the paid results as well as the organic results thereby dominating the search results for those keywords.

However one must be aware of the level of competition for some keywords and not pay too much for them as it is very easy, especially for new advertisers, to end up spending more money than they get back in product sales.

New website owners may want to wait until they have a more established website with results in the organic search listings before attempting paid advertising because they will then know that their keywords work. Just do keyword research and optimise your website for them until you see that they are working for you.

Keywords are vital to the success of your online business. Knowing the keywords relevant to your business and optimizing your website for them will mean more traffic to your website and thus more product sales. For more information about making money online http://www.kerriesheehan.com

The ability to automatically do on-page SEO for blogs is an important, time-saving exercise and two of the most popular plugins for this are All-In-One SEO and Platinum SEO. Many Wordpress blog owners have wondered about the differences and whether they have made the right choice. Here is one user’s view and his comparisons.

Platinum SEO Vs All in One SEO For WordPress Websites

By Delwin Holeman

WordPress has a number of plugins for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). There are two main plugins that most sites use which I’ll discuss in this article. Read on and you’ll come away with a better understanding of which one might be best for bringing more traffic to your dental office website.

Platinum SEO and All in One SEO Pack are the leaders in the SEO Plugin category for WordPress. All in One SEO has been around longer and in fact Platinum SEO was built to function practically the same as All in One SEO. They are almost identical, but Platinum SEO made some important improvements.

So why choose one over the other? Personally I’ve chosen to use Platinum SEO for the following reasons:

1. Platinum SEO feature a setting to ” Automatically do 301 redirects for permalink changes”. This means that if you change the Permalink of one of your web pages, it will put some code in a special “.htaccess” file that tells Google, other search engines, and any backlink traffic, that the old page URL should now go to the new one.
2. Perhaps my biggest reason for going with Platinum SEO is that it allows me to give a single page a “noindex” setting to keep search engines away from a page I don’t want listed. ALl in One SEO does not have that feature.
3. It has a number of other “on-page” settings and options that All in One lacks, which gives you more control for each and every page you create. You can leave the basic settings in place so you are not having to set up each page one by one, but if you want to tweak something it’s all right there on your page editing screen.
4. Okay, this one is a bit nit picky, but it did figure in to my decision to switch. All in One SEO is riddled with advertisements and requests for donations. Nothing wrong with that and almost all plugins do it, but All in One is a bit over board with it.

If you’re already using All in One SEO, Platinum SEO has the ability to migrate all of your current settings into it’s own setup, so you can do a quick and easy migration of your page title tags, page descriptions and keywords.

So in closing, the main reason I made the switch was for the ability to set a single page as “nofollow” to keep search engines from indexing it. Aside from that they are both about the same, and appear to do equally good jobs at SEO.

I design and build custom WordPress websites for medical and dental practices at my company, ID Web and Print.

Targeted Keywords are the backbone of niche marketing and are very important in most forms of internet marketing. Learning which keywords to target is a skill which can and should be learned. The following article offers some useful suggestions in this regard. After you’ve read it, leaving a comment would be helpful to other readers.

Targeted Keywords – Should You Target the Most Popular Keywords Or the Long Tail?

By Andy Lunt

The vast majority of internet, niche or affiliate marketers are simply concerned with driving traffic to their websites in as large a quantity as possible which then in turn will lead to greater sales. There are different strategies that can be put in place regarding how the chosen keyword phrases are incorporated into articles and copy on the pages of the website.

Many marketers new to the game, will search for the most popular keywords related to their niche and build their page or indeed their site around these keywords. For a novice at internet marketing and SEO this would probably be a mistake. The competition for the most lucrative keywords is bound to be extremely fierce and someone inexperienced is unlikely to be able to get their site high in the rankings and hence very little traffic will be the result.

It is true to say that there will be huge numbers, potentially, of people searching the web for these keyword phrases which are very popular but you really need to try and get ranked on the first page if your site is to glean much traffic from the search engines. Indeed the first two places will take the majority of searches.

In many cases the top ranked sites will be sites which carry high authority. For a newbie to keyword SEO and link building, it would be nigh on impossible to knock these high authority sites of their top spots in the rankings. So what should you do?

The answer for most beginners is to focus on the not so common keyword phrases. Phrases that may receive only a fraction of the searches but, and this is the crucial bit, only have a fraction of the competition. They are known as long tail keywords. Eg. Without a significant SEO campaign you would find it hard to top the rankings as a newbie for a keyword phrase of ‘magic tricks’.

However if you targeted ‘magic tricks explored’ or ‘magic tricks exposed’ the competition will be far easier to rank higher than, in most cases. True enough there may only be a fraction of the searches but if you could get in the top two spots, then those searches could all be yours.

Now if you optimized your site such that each article on your site had a single long tail keyword phrase such as this as its focus, then potentially all your articles could be drawing in some searches and as a result the overall total of visitors could be quite large. This is a very successful ploy by many experienced internet marketers. The sum of all the long tail searches usually exceeds the searches for the most common keywords.

Once you become more skillful with your keyword SEO and how you build back links to your site, you may be able to target keyword phrases which are more lucrative as you will have the skill set to out rank many rivals and potentially build your site’s reputation as an authority site in its own right. You will soon learn if it is possible to take on the top sites for any particular phrase and out rank them.

There are many keyword and SEO tools will you can use to help you deduce if it is worth your while trying to do this. Some SEO tools will tell you the strength of the competition in terms of the number and quality of their back links for example.

Most experienced marketers will therefore target a mixture of long tail keywords and selected popular keywords, constantly fine tuning until the balance is right. If you are just starting out go for the long tail first, leaving the others until you have greater SEO skills.
