Questions on Keywords and Keyword Research

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

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

As stated above Yahoo provides some statistics.

With thise statistics and the keyword density on Your site you can conclude on three to five key phrases.

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!
