The Basic About Internet Marketing: Keyword Positioning

The Basic About Internet Marketing: Keyword Positioning

Hit the Bull's Eye in Internet Marketing.

How? Simply do your homework: Perform proper keyword research.

Building up an online business is tricky. It is when you think you have the
perfect formula for any real- time business to succeed, that you begin to
realize your concept of traditional marketing does not work in online
setting. While traditional marketing uses the gift of gab, Internet
marketing utilizes the perfect combination of words or terms, unique for a
particular website. In fact, the written word plays a pivotal role in online
success.

On the internet, keyword positioning is strategic step: it can make or
unmake your dream of hitting it big in a realm, where making money has
limitless boundaries and anybody, sans MBA can challenge the masters. Search
Engine Optimization, where keyword positioning is a primary factor, is the
vessel that takes you to your destination.

By definition, keywords are searchable words or terms that refer to a
specific subject matter. The main purpose of selecting keywords properly is
to ensure that when an online user searches for a product, he types on the
search bar keyword or phrases that are relevant to the information he seeks,
AND exactly the keywords or phrases that would bring him to YOUR website -
obviously, with the end-view of making a purchase.

Targeting keywords for your website is a challenging task, but there are
proven ways on how to come up with a list that can work. Here are a few
tips:

What to target:

Target keywords based on the names of your product, the brands you carry,
nature of your service, or by the use of terms that are popular among online
users when they search for products or services similar to yours. Targeting
only keywords that are highly relevant to your business assures you that the
traffic you need is already sifted from the time-wasters.

You can avail of all the help you need online. There are tools available
online that rank keywords according to the number of clicks they generate or
how in demand these keywords are among the present crop of searchers.

Internet Marketing Service is an umbrella of strategies, such as article
marketing and link building to name a few, but each of these strategies is
anchored on pre-selected keywords and keyword phrases. The success or
failure of the total marketing campaign begins on keyword positioning.

How to target:

1.)Analyze keyword demand.

This is simply determining, which keywords search engines have ranked high,
depending on how many times these keywords were used by online searchers
when they accessed search engines for information. However, it does not stop
there.

The trick is not simply to determine, which keywords ranked high, but how
these keywords relate to your present needs. Are these the keywords that can
generate the desired traffic to your website?

2.) Create your own list of keywords based on your products, services and
ideas.

As apples cannot fall far from the tree, so do your keywords. They should
describe your products or service, not your competitor's.

3.) Be challenged by the best.

Who are your competitors? Which keywords have delivered to them the most
number of traffic? Make a list of these keywords and decide which ones you
could target as well.

4.)Conduct a performance review.

Determine your past performance among search engines and find a list of your
own keywords, which performed well in the traffic department. If you did it
once, you can do it again!

Internet Marketing may be highly competitive, with strategies that never
remain constant, but it has never swerved away from the basic: choose good
keywords and these will take care of your online success.

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. ...
