Keywords, keywords, what are keywords and what makes them so important? Actually, keywords are just like roads and traffic signs to your site and if your keywords look like New Jersey you’re in big trouble.
The importance of keywords is pretty simple: Use the wrong keywords and the only one that will be surfing your site is… you! But use the right keywords in your site and you’ll get huge amounts of traffic that you never thought you’d have.
You see, internet is all about searching. That’s the reason Google eliminated the address bar from its new browser. No one actually types in http://www.whatever.com. No. You just search “whatever” and you pick some result, usually from the top ten. So if your business deals with “whatever” you should make it your keyword.
But wait! It’s not that simple. There are millions and millions of sites who also use “whatever” as their keyword. So how can you maximize traffic and make sure that searchers ends up at your site?
Here’s how the magic is done: you need to manipulate the keywords and make them special. Use several variations of your keyword and you can get your fair share of traffic. For example, instead of just using “whatever” you can use “buy whatever” or “cheap whatever” or “where can I rent whatever?” so when people search that phrase, they will reach your site.
Let’s say you sell watches. Don’t make “watch” your keyword. You’ll be buried beneath millions of watch retailers and the dedicated fans of BayWatch. Try “buy watch online” or “discounted luxury watches” or “2010 brand watches” in order to get your share of the search pie.
