Narrowing down to the Final List of Keywords for SEO :
So how do you choose the best keywords from the many that can be generated?
Look for daily or monthly search traffic use a tool like Google Keyword Tool. There will be high competition for the popular keywords, that is those with high search traffic. Because the keywords are popular, lots of sites will use them.
You will face a lot of competition, and much of that competition will be good at search engine optimization. Metrics indicating competition are number of websites with exact phrase in content, number of websites with keyword / phrase in title, and number of websites with phrase in anchor text. Grade your keyword list into high, medium and low competition keywords.
The trick is to choose some of the most popular keywords and combine with niche keywords or ‘long tail keywords’, and have medium of low competition. Niche keywords use qualifiers like sector or geography or category, like “SEO for Drupal websites”. In the short term, it is easier to rank high for niche keywords.
You need to incorporate high traffic keywords, because these represent what your business is really about and your customers expect to find them in your web pages. Over a longer time frame, as you add more content, your ranking for the popular keywords will rise.
Discovering new keywords : Google Webmaster Tool’s New Top Search Queries
Google Webmaster Tools has now introduced a major enhancement of its top search queries report for a website. It gives useful data - number of impressions and click throughs - against search query where your website appeared for each position, and beyond page 3+.
This is sliced and diced by :
- Time period
- Country
- Specific page which was served up
This represents a gold mine to discover new keywords where your website appears within top pages and 3+ pages. You can select the ‘buying keywords’ or the keywords that will result in sale or desired action (such as sign up) or desired traffic, and then optimize those pages to improve their rankings.
Earlier, Webmaster reported up to 100 search queries. Now it provides a much larger sample, more than 1000 keywords. It generates a chart of total impressions and clicks across all queries.
Good Copy writing for SEO
Copywriting for SEO is an art, a balancing act between good readability and incorporating keywords often enough to impress search engines. The top ranking sites for SEO related keywords provide evidence of the difficulty. Many of these sites, including those of top ranking search engine optimization companies in India, have content that make for insipid reading, stuffed as they are with keywords.
- Use primary keyword in web page title and main heading
- The first section should be a summary of whole page and include primary and secondary keywords
- Map out the structure of the web page, writing a main heading and subheadings that contain keywords
