Keywords or Bust
By Addie Scott
If you have already built a website, you know the importance of
your keywords. If you are in the process of building a site, you
have probably heard a lot about them. If you haven’t, you
will. Keywords can make or break your website.
In essence you will find that you may, in fact, build everything
around these keywords. They will lead you where you want to go.
Choose the wrong keywords and rather then rising to the top, you
will be left in the dust. It is a time to choose wisely.
If you can take a step back and put on your creative cap, you should
be able to come up with some unusual and profitable keywords. The
idea is to come up with words that will sum up the purpose of your
page; words that are unique enough that others aren’t using
them in the combination that you choose. With that in mind, it is
also a good idea to come up with groups of keywords, or phrases
if you will, rather than single words. Single words prove to be
much more competitive and much more expensive.
There are tools out there that will help you with the process of
choosing your keywords. These tools can tell you what words are
popular; which words and phrases people are actually searching for.
These tools can also suggest alternatives. By researching what keywords
or phrases are searched for and how many results these keywords
produce, you can help determine the success of your game plan.
I would definitely suggest dedicating significant time to this
process. I can't express strongly enough how important this research
is. A lack of time here can result in a tremendous amount of work
later on. Many a webmaster/webmistress have tried to rearrange the
wording on their site to work around their keywords, when it should
be the other way around. When this happens, you end up with wording
that is clunky and unattractive. If you choose your keywords wisely,
they will be your foundation. You can, then, build from the ground
up, rather than doing demolition work later on.
Take your time, use the tools available to you and build a successful
website - a site which will bring in traffic, attract backlinks
and that the search engines will love. You can, ultimately, have
a finished product that will work for you and consequently result
in a tremendous amount of traffic. Be good to your website and your
website will be good to you.
It is a learning experience that will only make you stronger and
wiser. Good luck!
