Choosing Your Keywords

  • Research has found that 31% of people enter 2 word phrases into search engines, 25% of all users look for 3 word combinations and only about 19% of them try their luck with only a single word.
  • Do not choose a keyword to optimize your site for that you don't have the slightest chance of ranking good with because of the fierce competition.
  • Do not choose a keyword that nobody looks for.
  • Do not choose a keyword that does not relate strongly enough to your content.
  • Only use generally popular keywords if you do not need targeted traffic.
  • Do not use words that may get your site filtered or banned from search engines.
  • Do not use images with filenames or ALT tags ( Alt attributes of IMG tag ) that may get your site filtered or banned from search engines.
  • Only use dynamic pages when the functionality demands it.Use lots of relevant content, well laid out into separate pages.
  • For best results optimize one page for one keyword.
  • Do not post half-finished sites.
