••••••>Get Me On Top SEO Tip of the Day: Keyword Research Guide

Keyword research is the most important element of integrated SEOcampaigns. It is also the most challenging task that an SEO developer will face. If your site is optimized with poorly researched keywords, your readers will never find you, and you certainly will not be at the top of Google or Yahoo. Knowing the right keywords allows you to target a specific market(s), ensuring that readers that come to your website are those that will do what you want your consumers to do. Here are some basic tips for effective keyword research.

1) Do not assume that you know what the customers type in the search field. If you know what you do not know, you have a better chance of bagging the keywords that will rake in visitors.

2) Create a list of potential keywords then slowly weed out the good ones from the excellent ones.

3) Learn how to use keyword research tools. If you know how the tools exactly work, you can come up with a better analysis.

4) Only put up to four related keywords on one page. Use them wisely.

5) Monitor the viability of your keywords and tweak them as needed.

Following this and our other Free SEO tips will help you in getting top rankings on Google and Yahoo. To assure you are #1 on Google, #1 in Yahoo, and #1 on Live.com

Re: Keyword Selection - Hi All, Very interesting topic of discussion! Website success mainly depends upon the target keywords so the keywords should be relevant to website theme. Long tail keywords often rank easily in SERP. You can also use Ad word Keyword tool for keyword selection. Keyword having less competition and high monthly search volume are easy to rank.
Re: Best Internet Marketing Strategies - I'd disagree with the first point. Keyword research is important, but it should not be the complete focus when doing niche research. A niche is typically made up of thousands of keywords, and researching them all is very difficult, because the keyword tools won't tell you what most of them are. Plus a niche is not a bunch of keywords, it is a demographic interested in a particular topic. You need to learn about the people in this demographic. Keyword research tells you their search habits and gives clues to competitiveness and potential profit, but you are looking at through a very narrow window of a much bigger picture.
