Is your Website Doomed for Failure Before you've Built it?
«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»
One of the things that many people overlook when
building a new website is keywords. I have to admit, I did
exactly the same thing myself when I started out. You
can build the flashiest, most professional looking website,
with lots of great content, but if you don't think about
keywords first your website is most likely to be doomed
for failure - at least as far as search engines are
concerned.
Visitors from search engines are the most targeted types
of visitor that you could hope for. What you need to do is
find out which keywords these people are using when
they search in Google, Yahoo or MSN and ensure that
your web page(s) are optimized for these keywords.
When researching your keywords you need to make sure
that you
1. Choose keywords that people are actually
searching for. Don¡¯t optimize your site for keywords that
people rarely search on.
2. Choose keywords that are not too highly
competitive - unless you're an SEO whiz that is
If you keep these two goals in mind when choosing
keywords you will have the best chance possible of rising
to the lofty heights of the search engine results pages.
So, what's the best way to do keyword research? I've
tried many different tools, but my favorite by is
Wordtracker. You can sign up for a free trial of
Wordtracker at http://www.homebiz -
direct.com/wordtracker.html but if you¡¯re serious about
your keyword research consider using the full version as
it allows you to select unlimited keywords and includes
results from 8 different search engines, 3 different
directories and 4 different pay per click engines,
compared to 1 search engine and 30 keywords in the trial
version.
Once you're logged into Wordtracker I recommend using
the "Keyword Universe" to brainstorm for keywords. You
just need to type in any keywords related to your area of
interest and then use the built in thesaurus to find
related keywords and synonyms. For example if I enter
the keywords "internet marketing" Wordtracker returns
300 related keywords including "web site marketing",
"promotion" and "online marketing".
Wordtracker then allows me to view a list of all the
keyword searches that have included my keyword
phrase. If I click on "web site marketing" Wordtracker
returns 118 rows of keywords that include that phrase,
for example "web site marketing", "web site marketing
strategy", "web site online marketing" and more.
If I like the look of these keywords I can just add them to
my basket and continue choosing keywords until I have
100s of keywords. For this example I'll just add the 118
results to my basket and continue on to Wordtracker¡¯s
"Competition Analysis".
At the competition analysis phase I have a number of
search engines, directories and pay per click engines to
choose from. I can choose a maximum of two search
engines, but for speed I normally tend to just go for
Google, since it represents 35% of all searches. I can
always go back later and look at other search engines if I
have a good set of keywords.
Now the interesting part begins¡
Wordtracker returns me a table with the first 100
keywords from my earlier keyword selection. The
keywords are displayed in order of "KEI", which means
"Keyword Effectiveness Index". This is a measure to
allow you to quickly identify which keywords are likely to
give you the best results. Keywords with high KEIs are
the best targets as these represent keywords with a
combination of a high number of searches and a low
amount of competing websites.
Other important statistics provided by Wordtracker are:
24 Hours ¨C The predicted amount of traffic for a single
day, for this search engine only (Google in this case)
Competing - The number of competing websites for this
keyword phrase.
Here's an example of two of the results returned from my
"marketing web site" search:
Example 1
"marketing web site design"
KEI - 54.256
Count - 46
24Hrs - 17
Competing - 39
Example 2
"web site marketing"
KEI - 0.256
Count - 505
24Hrs - 171
Competing - 998000
You can see from these examples that the most popular
keyword phrase here is "web site marketing", with
approximately 171 searches in Google every 24 hours.
However, this keyword phrase has almost a million
competing websites, so if you decided to target this you
would have a long hard slog to get on the first page of
the search results.
In this example, my preference would be to choose the
"Marketing web site design" phrase. Although there are
10 times less searches on Google per day for this
keyword phrase, there are only 39 competing websites.
So the chances are that I can get onto the first page of
search results very quickly. I could also combine this
keyword phrase with a few others from my research to
build up the number of visitors to my site.
Once you have finished researching and have a good
keyword list, ensure that add your keywords to
- the page title
- the h1 and h2 tags
- the image alt tags
- the keyword meta tags
- the copy itself
Also make sure that you include the keywords in the
anchor text when you are linking to your site from
another site.
Going through this exercise of choosing keywords each
time you set up a new website or create a new webpage
will ensure that you have the best chance of getting
targeted search engine

Shifty Little Tabs
Most people know if they hit the Tab key, they can hop from
control to control in a program. What most don't realize is that
if they hold the Shift key while they Tab, they can go backwards
through the controls.
Controls are the "objects" you interact with in a program. Stuff
like buttons, checkboxes, text boxes, lists, etc. are all
controls. Basically, if you can do something with it, it's
considered a control.
For example, say you're filling out a form on a web page. You
fill in your first name and, in all your excitement,
accidentally tab right past the last name box. You can easily
get back to the last name field by holding down the Shift key
and hitting the Tab key.
So, next time you're tabbing, don't grab your mouse-just press
your shift key.
