How to Choose Keywords to Theme Your Pages and Boost Your Traffic
By Andrew Williams

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is in the choice of keywords for a new site, specifically secondary keywords.. These are the words or phrases that you use when writing your content to help theme the page so that the search engines know what your page is about. These secondary keywords also help to bring in more traffic, because they add more depth to your page, meaning that your page is found for a lot more phrases than just the primary phrase you page is built around.

Let's look at an example.

Suppose you were building a niche site on hemorrhoids.

One of your main pages is likely to be about treating hemorrhoids. Let's use "hemorrhoid treatment" as our primary keyword phrase for this page (it has high searches, but also high competition, so secondaries are going to be working hard to get this page ranking high for related phrases).

It's All About Keywords
By Mike D Smith

The most critical aspect of your online home based business is the proper use and management of Keywords in your websites. Prospective clients will never find you in their search engine searches if you do not use the keywords they are using. When you key in on the appropriate keywords and optimize them in your website and marketing strategy, the search engines will act like interstate highways bringing traffic to your site, which will translate into more sales.

One error that many website design companies fail to bring to your attention is the synchronized use of one or two of your primary keywords in your website address or URL, website title, and the meta tag website description. Repeated placement of your primary keywords in these locations will land you very high on the search engine searches which is where your clients will find you to purchase your product. Please do not confuse repeated placement with blatant spamming of the search engines with a blatant repetition of a limited number of keywords throughout your website title and meta description of your site.

Here are a couple quick tools to use to discover what keywords you need to use. The first tool is offered by Yahoo. http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ Simply type in a possible keyword or phrase to see how many people used that word or phrase in their search with Yahoo in the prior month. If you hit on a keyword or keyword phrase with a monthly ranking with 15,000 hits or more, you have found a solid keyword. This tool only measures the traffic to overture, yahoo. It does not measure the keyword searches on other search engines. More...
