SEO is really important to every web owner. When you type something in the web search engine like Google, you will find thousands or even millions of web pages. Considering, you want to promote your website, you would like your website to be on the first of Google page right?
When you browse in through the Internet, they are a lot of people or organization that provide services to Increase your web rank. Yeh, they really can deliver, but with a lot of money though. If you want to make SEO yourself, here are the few things that you can done naturally and of course free of charge.
- Research your keyword. Properly research keyword could increase your web rank. A lot of people debating about short tail and long tail keyword. But for me, I prefer the long tail one. Imagine that your keyword is blogging tips. That is a simple and short keyword. Could you imagine how many people have that keyword. If you do not have a strong backlink, you will end up in the 20 or 30 pages in the Google search. That is not a good sign for your business. Try to find a long keyword. The longer , the better. Why is it possible? You must understand the psychology of searching. People will first type some short keyword. Then, the found about 100 million or more web pages. Then, the go to a narrow search. Now it is only 2000 or more. Now, that person have found what he or she looking for. The thing that they type, is what we call targeted keyword. Make your keyword as targeted as possible. Look at this example:
Look at the result when I type “blogging tips ”
blogging tips
847 000 results.
Now, look at the result, when I refine the search to ” blogging tips for newbie”
blogging tips for newbie
Only 2 400 results.
* the “….. ” is important, so that you will find the exact phrases you are looking for.
Now, you have finally understand the nature of searching, I will share with you available tool out there that you can utilise to find the exact long tail targeted keyword that you want to find. It also list down the number of people who type that phrase monthly.
This service is a free service from google: Google Keyword Tool
