A Little More About Keywords.

I just want to explain a little more about keywords. These can be anything from a single word to a complete sentence and they are what search engines use to find your article or place your ad. If a person types in a search term like "Yellow Bananas" and you have "yellow bananas" as one of your keywords then your page could be referenced by the search engine.

Factors
There are other factors to consider. If 15,000,000 other people have "yellow Bananas" as a keyword on their web page then your page may be buried under a mountain load of search results. So the trick is to find a search term people are using that is relatively high. You can use Google's Keyword tool for this. Then you can check that key word out by typing it into google using quotation marks and in the upper right hand corner of the search page you should see how many pages have that key word. The lower that number is the better.

An Example
Let's say I go to Google Keyword search too and type in "yellow bananas"; it shows that there is an average monthly search volume of 1900 searches. That is pretty good. Now I type the same term in quotes into Google; it shows that there are 32,800 unique pages with this keyword. That is a lot of competition. I really want my competition to be in the 4 digit range. If it had been then I would have written an article on "Yellow Bananas" and would have stood a good chance of it being listed high in the search results.

Until next time,
