Trentide Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Everyone! Thanks for looking at my post. I'm in the process of getting serious on my keywords and trying to do some keyword research. Here's a bunch of questions off the top of my head. 1. How do you do keyword research exactly? What tools, techniques, and/or sites do you use? 2. When you find the keywords that you think will work, how long to you keep them in place to see how effective they are? 3. How many keywords and/or keyword phrases do you use? 4. How about the meta name description and the title, should the keywords reflect what's written in these areas as well? These are just a few, but pretty big, questions that I have. I really appreciate any input anybody has! Thanks, Jason
Tail-Swishing Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I'm also in the process of keyword optimisation across the whole of my site I currently do this myself using primarirly the google keywords tool and Yahoo keyword assistant where I check out relevant keywords and check what people have been searching for recently. Yahoo is currently giving results for March 07 so I can see from my results below who searched for a unique baby gift and then use these results in my own keywords... 388 unique baby gift 244 unique baby gift basket 158 unique baby shower gift basket 145 unique baby shower gift 78 unique baby gift uk What I try and do is concentrate on several keywords at time looking always for a niche market this is better established via the google keyword as it is more up to date giving results for now (May) it tells you search volume and advertiser competition. I look for low advertiser competition and medium/high serach volume. I'm no SEO expert, but I hope this helps Regards Marie

Trentide Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate your effort in explaining this to me. Can I ask you, when you find keywords that you might want on your site, how long do you keep them in place before deciding if they're working or not? and When you say "low advertiser competition and medium/high serach volume" what numbers are you talking about exactly? Thank you so much for your help! Jason
