Part 1. Wordtracker for keywords.
A problem for all new webmasters has always been SEO or search engine optimisation.
The problem starts with the age-old question of how do I design my website so people can find it?
Lets assume that you have an idea for a website that will enable you to make a bit of extra cash, you have a product of your own or you have an affiliation you believe in and you want to make sure that the people searching for your product will find your site over your competitors.
How do you start?
Step 1
KEYWORDS
Finding the right keywords for your product is vital, the right keywords on your site will mean the difference between being found and not being found. How do we find these keywords and how do we use them?
First stop is a visit to wordtracker.com
Using the trial version should be enough.
Let's say that you sell widgets, type widget into the box and you will get this;
1. widget
2. apple
3. Apple
4. widgets
5. synastry
6. Macintosh
7. security
Clicking on the word widget on the top of this list will bring up another list that contains the word widget.
Lets take a look at the top 5 on that list.
Keyword Count Predict Dig
widget 154 132
widgets 120 103
widget the world watcher 26 22
desktop widgets 22 19
definition for a widget 19 16
The table contains the following information:
Count - This shows the number of times a particular keyword has appeared in our database. E.g. Our database currently holds 373 million words. A count of 147 tells us that this particular word has appeared 147 times out of 373 million (this is over a two-month period).
Predicted - This is the maximum total predicted traffic for all of the major search engines/pay per bids and directories. It is based on the current 24-hour period.
Dig - When you perform any kind of search in the keyword universe, you can now dig down to the next level. E.g. search for 'gambling'. Then, when you click on 'online gambling', just the results for 'online gambling' come up, click on 'online gambling in states' and so on. Great for focusing on niches.
Clicking on each word again adds it to your basket.
The next step is to compare these keywords in order to find the best keyword for you,
You are looking for a keyword with a high KEI or Keyword Effectiveness Index, what's this?
In a nutshell: Look for the keywords near the top. The higher the KEI, the more popular your keywords are, and the less competition they have. Which means you have a better chance of getting to the top.
Now you have found your high KEI ranking keywords you have to sprinkle them about your home page and insert them into you meta-tags. The next article in this series will discuss meta-tags, using the title tag, and basic page design that will give your visitors a pleasing site to look at.
