Get paid for all of your website traffic, no clicks necessary!

Key words are one of the most important components of your website.

Without the right keywords and keyword phrases you will get little or no traffic, at least from the search engines.

You need to find out what key words people are using when they search for the product or service that you are offering.  It isn't always easy to figure out what words a human being will use when searching for something. 

Avoid single keywords.  A single keyword is very broad and thus will have a very large number of sites trying to be ranked first for that keyword.  The more keywords in the phrase, the more targeted and narrow the focus will be and thus there will be fewer sites competing with you for those keywords.

  In most cases a single keyword is pretty useless.  You need to think in terms of keyword phrases of two or more words.

For example, if your site is about rare breeds of dogs, the keyword "dog" is pretty useless to you. You would have to compete with 304,000,000 other pages on Google to get some ones attention.

A Google search for "rare dog breeds" with quote marks shows 21,700 competitive pages.  It's a whole lot easier to make it to the 1st page of search results if you only have to compete with 21,700 pages as opposed to 304,000,000 pages.

However, if no one ever searches for "rare dog breeds", then it is worse than the one word "dog".  Good key word phrases are phrases that are really searched for, and closely relate to your web page topic.

This is why key word tools such as WordTracker  are so important. Optimize for keyword phrases that people really search for,  and find keyword phrases that you would not have thought of without the tool.  See which keywords are worthwhile pursuing and which are not. Using these tools find the keywords that have the least competition.

Work the keyword phrases into your body text, title tags, Alt tags, and link text.

You don't want to heavily load your copy with the keyword phrases, just enough that the search engines know they are being used.

There are a variety of ways that WordTracker  can be utilized to find the keywords you need, and lots of information at their website to show you how to use the tools they offer. You can use the WordTracker  software to find out more about your customers, what they want and what they are searching for.

Don't think that everyone thinks the way you do.  For instance, when talking about water heaters I would never use the term "hot water heater", since it heats cold water, not hot water. 

By using WordTracker  I found that more people search for "hot water heater" than search for "water heater".  Very valuable information if you want lots of free search engine traffic.  So I optimize one of my water heating pages for "water heater", and one page for "hot water heater".

WordTracker  also showed me that people searched for "water heater repair", "water heater maintenance", and "tankless water heaters" and even "tankless hot water heaters" etc.
