Evaluate Keywords For Search Engine Optimization

Evaluate Keywords For Search Engine Optimization

In search engine optimization (SEO) and the pursuit of getting a good chunk
of the market, keywords play an important role. Properly selected keywords
define the direction of an online campaign. And the company and the
organization that can efficiently target the right keywords searched by the
target market are the ones that survive in the highly competitive internet
market. This is the reason why major companies have expanded their
advertising efforts online in order to tap what the consumers are looking
for. But getting the best and the most efficient keywords is not an easy
task; there is a science in selecting the most appropriate keywords and not
all keywords and phrases are best used and utilized in an internet marketing
campaign. If you are at this stage of planning, it's best that you should be
aware of the best ways on how to evaluate the relevancy and the possible
effective of the short-listed keywords. Listed below are some suggestions on
how to evaluate keywords at least in the context of search engine
optimization.

Do an internal assessment

Are the shortlisted keywords relevant and related to the actual content and
focus of the website? Or will the consumers and internet users find exactly
what they are looking for in the website after they have clicked on the
provide link? If you say yes to two basic questions, then you are on the
right track and you have targeted generally the right keywords for your
campaign.

Do a check of the keywords in search engines

If a check with the search engines reveals that there are associated
advertisements to the keywords that you have selected, then it means that
the keywords are highly valued in the industry and online. And you are on
the right track as well in identifying keywords that can deliver
financially.

Another good strategy to use is to purchase a small campaign at Google. You
can choose specific keywords for your campaign and link these keywords to
the most relevant page in your website. Now what you should do is to monitor
the kind of traffic that the specific page is getting. The data that have
been gathered should be used and tabulated in order to come up with
estimates as to how effective the keywords are. For example, if for the past
day the webpage received 1,000 impressions or clicks, and of that number 100
actually visited the site, and 1 internet user have converted to sales say
$10. Then this means that every visitor attracted to the keyword selected is
valued at around $.01. And in order to compare the value of the keywords,
test another keyword by using the actual process and theoretically compute
for the amount per visitor. The one with the higher valuation is of course
the better keyword for the campaign online.

These are basic and rough suggestions on how to value the keywords on hand.
There are other advanced ways too, and these are often used by big
businesses that truly put all time and effort on search engine optimization
and keyword research. And most of the time, these advanced ways on how to
test the value of keywords will come with online tools and software thus can
be costly. But the results are helpful of course to the marketers willing to
realize the value of their keywords.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy. Copy should be broken into readable, digestible "chunks" and surrounded by a good amount of white space. Font Type Font size matters. Avoid using micro fonts.

Popular serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, and Palatino. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for "body" text on-screen, because monitors pr...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
