\nThe Google Adwords Keyword Tool was designed for companies buying online advertising space; however, is it a great tool for online writers and web content creators, as well.<\/p>\n
Type several words relevant to the article or webpage topic in the Keyword Tool search box.\u00a0 Click on \u201cGet Keyword Ideas\u201d to begin searching for information on the keywords.\u00a0 The tool will also suggest popular keywords related to the search terms, so a list of five keywords could generate fifty results or more.<\/p>\n
Understanding Keyword Search Results<\/strong><\/p>\n The default search tool settings show the following information about suggested keywords:<\/p>\n A drop-down box above the results list allows you to access additional columns of information, including the average cost per click, volume trends, and estimated ad position.<\/p>\n Advertiser competition is not important unless you are trying to write content designed to attract high cost per click ads to generate AdSense revenue.\u00a0 In that case, an empty advertiser competition box indicates a lack of advertiser interest in the topic.<\/p>\n Global monthly search volume is the most important criteria in keyword research for search engine optimization.<\/p>\n Comparing Search Volume and Results Volume<\/strong><\/p>\n Click the title of the global monthly search volume column to sort the list so the most searched terms are at the top.\u00a0 Working down the list, search each keyword and phrase in a regular Google search.<\/p>\n Look at the volume of results for each keyword or phrase.\u00a0 A term that generates millions of results is highly competitive and it is unlikely that new content will rank near the top of the list.<\/p>\n Consider the quality of results, as well.\u00a0 The goal is to find keywords and phrases that might propel the web content to the front page, or top ten, in a Google search.\u00a0 Are the other top ten results from credible news sources, government or professional organizations, or large corporations?\u00a0 There is little chance of ranking on the front page with this type of competition.<\/p>\n People have different criteria for keyword selection and look for a specific ratio of acceptable search volume vs. search results.<\/p>\n To develop a workable formula takes time and testing.\u00a0 Start by finding a keyword or phrase with over 1,000 monthly searches and less than one million results.\u00a0 Optimize the article by using the primary keyword phrase in the URL, if possible, and in the article headline, introductory paragraph, bolded subheadings, and throughout the body text.<\/p>\n Use four to six complementary keywords in the subtitle, introductory paragraph, bolded subheadings, and throughout the body text.\u00a0 Do not simply repeat any one phrase throughout the article; it must read naturally to the reader.\u00a0 Using a variety of related terms helps you write fluidly and indicates the webpage\u2019s relevance on the topic to search engines.<\/p>\n Testing and Developing a Keyword Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n A number of variables affect how well a webpage ranks in organic searches and no one knows the exact formula used by popular search engines like Google.<\/p>\n A blog post on a blog hosted on a free platform such as Blogger, for example, may not rank as high as an article published on a popular online magazine\u2019s website, for example, even if the blog post is better optimized.<\/p>\n Track the performance of several pieces based on keywords chosen for their search volume to search engine results ratio to find the winning formula for your blog posts, articles, or website content.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Related posts:<\/p>\n Search engine optimization is the practice of using keywords and keyword phrases in web content.\u00a0 These terms tell search engines what the article, blog post, or other online content is about and match the webpage to user searches.
