How To Choose Good Keywords For Your Website?

February 19, 2010

I’m making this page about Free Internet Marketing Tips because I’ve noticed many marketers or some website owners having difficulties into choosing the right keywords for their products or niche market. Having 100′s of keywords in a single page will not bring you to the top ranking in search engines. You are inviting troubles actually; you are creating an opportunity for search engine to ban you due to spamming of keywords. So, if you want to choose proper keywords for your website then make sure to read my articles below. It will help you in some ways.

Materials you’ll need

What are they?

Evaluation is a must to narrow down your list to a small number of words and phrases that will direct the highest number of quality visitors to your website. Quality visitors referring to those customers who are most likely to make a purchase rather than just scrolling around your site and take off for greener pastures.

There are few things needed when evaluating the effectiveness of keywords and that is:

1. Popularity
2. Specificity
3. Motivation

Step 1:

Popularity is the easiest to evaluate because it is an objective quality. The more popular your keyword is, the more likely the chances are that it will be typed into a search engine which will then bring up your URL.

You can now purchase software that will rate the popularity of keywords and phrases by giving words a number rating based on real search engine activity. Software such as WordTracker or Good Keywords will even suggest variations of your words and phrases.

The higher the number this software assigns to a given keyword, the more traffic you can logically expect to be directed to your site. The only fallacy with this concept is the more popular the keyword is, the greater the search engine position you will need to obtain. If you are down at the bottom of the search results, the consumer will probably never scroll down to find you.

Step 2:

Popularity isn’t enough to declare a keyword a good choice. You must move on to the next criteria, which is specificity. The more specific your keyword is you can define, the greater the likelihood that the consumer who is ready to purchase your goods or services will find you.

Let’s look at a hypothetical example. Imagine that you have obtained popularity rankings for the keyword ?flower pot companies.? However, you company specializes in bodywork only.

The keyword ?flower pot shops? would rank lower on the popularity scale than ?flower pot companies,? but it would nevertheless serve you much better. Instead of getting a slew of people interested in everything from buying a flower pot to changing their flower vast, you will get only those consumers with trashed front ends or crumpled fenders being directed to your site.

In other words, consumers ready to buy your services are the ones who will immediately find you. Not only that, but the greater the specificity of your keyword is, the less competition you will face.

Step 3:

The third factor is consumer motivation. Once again, this requires putting yourself inside the mind of the customer rather than the seller to figure out what motivation prompts a person looking for a service or product to type in a particular word or phrase. Let’s look at another example, such as a consumer who is searching for a job as an IT manager in a new city.

If you have to choose between ?Malaysia job listings? and ?Malaysia IT recruiters? which do you think will benefit the consumer more? If you were looking for this type of specific job, which keyword would you type in?

The second one, of course! Using the second keyword targets people who have decided on their career, have the necessary experience, and are ready to enlist you as their recruiter, rather than someone just out of school who are casually trying to figure out what to do with his or her life in between beer parties.

You want to find people who are ready to act or make a purchase, and this requires subtle tinkering of your keywords until your find the most specific and directly targeted phrases to bring the most motivated traffic to you site.

Once you have chosen your keywords, your work is not done. You must continually evaluate performance across a variety of search engines, bearing in mind that times and trends change, as does popular lingo.
You cannot rely on your log traffic analysis alone because it will not tell you how many of your visitors actually made a purchase.

Luckily, some new tools have been invented to help you judge the effectiveness of your keywords in individual search engines. There is now software available that analyzes consumer behavior in relation to consumer traffic. This allows you to discern which keywords are bringing you the most valuable customers.

This is an essential concept: numbers alone do not make a good keyword; profits per visitor do. You need to find keywords that direct consumers to your site who actually buy your product, fill out your forms, or download your product.

This is the most important factor in evaluating the efficacy of a keyword or phrase, and should be the sword you wield when discarding and replacing ineffective or inefficient keywords with keywords that bring in better profits.

Final Thoughts…Sharing My Internet Business Experience & Knowledge…

Ongoing analysis of tested keywords is the formula for search engine success. This may sound like a lot of work – and it is! But the amount of informed effort you put into your keyword campaign is what will ultimately generate your business’ rewards.
