14 Jul 09 Choices of Keywords

Choices of keywords

There are many techniques to plan for keywords in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) world. It is critical to use all the techniques so that search engines can index your site better than others. It is actually called on-page optimization which is important part of SEO.

Typically, the choices of keywords are to target traffic to your site relevant to keywords that internet users will search. However, each page can be optimized for different keywords, but the most important thing is not to focus on search engines, but to focus on the content of your materials. So, here are details keywords that you can actually optimized on page and they should be done on each and every single page of your site. Especially when you have a blog, it is very effective to optimize as blogs are content based and pretty easy to implement your SEO.

Keywords density

Let’s say, if you are writing about SEO, you will probably write more than once on the word, SEO. But too much is never good and always follow your heart to write rather than worrying too much about search engines and how they will index. Sometimes, when you try so hard, it makes visitors not only to feel confused but also not to come back for next time.

Long tailed keywords

Long tailed keywords are usually very long keywords and sometimes it is good to implement on possible long tailed keywords on your site. For example, “how to make a good plan on summer holidays” are long tailed keywords and you can actually optimize for headers, titles and rhetorical questions. It is important to know that generally, search engines will omit more of the conjunction words, but if you include them, they can be searched and match up according to the relevancy of search as well.

Overlapping keywords

This is basically associated with long tailed keywords search, the best way to highlight your keywords are H1, H2, paragraph html, bold, underlined, and italics, but not overkill it, of course. For example, the keywords that can search well on “make money online” could also be searched well in “make money online information”.

Misspelled keywords

They are to avoid at all costs for me, I have some contradictions with some of the SEO masters that you can actually intend to use misspelling, however, I do not follow their suggestions because most of the search engines no longer use meta tags because of keywords spamming and 90% of top search engines have already filtered with spelling checker for search results especially in English language search.

Plural keywords

Some people actually use plural keywords to search. So, it’s sometimes good to construct your site with both singular and plural number for commonly used words. Therefore, you can actually cover both when search is sought.

Localizations of your targeted audience and keywords

If you actually install Google analytics, you can actually geo-target or alternatively know who are your frequent visitors. The selection of words can actually give them easier to understand meaning and more feel like to read it more. For example, use toilet, loo, bathroom, lavatory or restroom according to your visitors to get acquaintance with your site. If you are promoting for products or services focused on particular country, it is vital to use these localizations for your potential buyers/visitors.

Caps and Hyphens

Usually, capital and hyphenated keywords are not mentioned much in on page SEO. But they are actually practical to use. Many people overlook SEO but build millions of web pages and they do not know what they are missing. In addition, capital keywords are not treated for special but it actually looks very professional, however, with good spelling checker website such as Yahoo! and Google actually make use of the importance of capital, because in some cases, capital plays a role, for example, internet and Internet. For hyphens, most search engines consider as a space, however, indexing with or without hyphens are different, so the best thing is to use both intentionally, so that you can cover both. Or you can do some research on what type of usage and search is used on particular keywords and examine whether e-mail or email is used more if there’s a case.

So, there you go, these are fantastic methods for on page optimizations and I am sure you do not miss these, so that you can generate more visitors than your competition. Because once you have started a website, you have millions of competition and the most important thing is to offer uniqueness and attractiveness to your potential visitors. Good Luck.

27 Nov 08 Create more traffic with Yahoo! Answers

There are alot of sites that are receiving several traffic from many different sources. If you have Google Analytics or Yahoo! Site Explorer or MSN Live webmaster center, you will be able to analyse how has your website been accepting traffic. One of the most important thing about analysing the website is to understand how you get traffic to your site and which sources have potential more in the future.

This is how we generate more traffic and more traffic, for example, in wordpress, I have posted one entry about how we can install google analytics on wordpress as a plugin. Ok, enough with the small talk.

Recently, I have been testing my Yahoo! Answers account which I created over 2 years ago, I used to help and answer a lot of questions in the past and I felt like it is time to test my traffic on Yahoo! Answers for a change. So, I went back and answered a few questions and put my website InfoMM.com in the resources where relevant, not very surprisingly, I have been receiving quite a lot of traffic from Yahoo! Answers. I think it is very good if you are selling some products or services, you may be able to get more traffic than you may expected. Of course, you need patience to earn respectable traffic. You won’t get 1000 unique visitors in a week, but you might get close to it depending on your luck and niche. 

So, the bottom line is, for driving good traffic, you need to know the relevancy and niche in order to succeed. For example, if you are selling iPod, I think Yahoo! Answers is pretty nice place to start with. You can probably get hundreds of visitors a week. Or if you are selling pet accesseries online, because they are very frequent and many questions have been asking every single day.

So, if you think your niche could fit in Yahoo! Answers, without spamming, LOL, then, go ahead and expand your web traffic more than ever.

Cheers for reading.
