 What Are Keywords

I know there are a lot of beginners out there that struggle with keywords. I know when I first started my own online business, I had no clue how to use keywords for S.E.O. or even if you needed to. Well I’m here to tell you, without the proper use of the keywords your business will go nowhere fast. So,  what are keywords
According to the dictionary a keyword is “a word or concept of great significance”,  “a word that acts as the key to a cipher or code”,  “an informative word used in an information retrieval system to indicate the content of a document”.

Keywords are used in content to alert the search engines to what information is in the content. The search engines will send searches to the content if the search keyword is relevant to their search. I’m sure you have heard “Content Is King” a few times and it’s true.  When done right and when you write fresh, informative content with relevant keywords it brings visitors to your site for free.

It’s called organic traffic and that’s the kind you want. That’s why keywords are so important.

The first thing you do for a post or page S.E.O. is enter the title with your keyword as close to the beginning of the title as possible. The next thing is to  place an image that you have optimized with your keyword at the top of the page. You should optimize the image with your keyword, and alt tag and a description.

At the end of your post or page, if you scroll all the way down to the end of the page, you can optimize your Meta. You can add your keywords there as well.  A lot of people forget to do this part. Maybe they’re so excited to get the article done, they just forget.

You should use one and only one keyword for a post or page. That has been the most effective way for me. You would use the same keyword in the title, the first paragraph and the last paragraph. A lot of people tend to stuff their post with keywords. This can really work against you. Just keep it simple.

 Other Ways To Optimize Post And Pages For S.E.O.

Using internal and external links in your post and pages is another great way you can raise your rankings. Google finds your content when your post and pages are  linked to from somewhere on the web.

Those links give Google an idea of the structure of your website. When Google crawls your site by following links, they find the relationships between your content.

Difference between internal links in external links

Internal links- also  known as inbound links. They are hyperlinks that direct the reader to the Target page on your website.

 External links- these are known as outbound hyperlinks because they direct the reader to a reputable page on a different website.

The posts were well written but I got very little to no traffic. I wrote and wrote with no success. Finally I took a look at a few other websites. They seemed to be doing the same thing I was but their businesses were thriving.

What I couldn’t see was that they were using great S.E.O. techniques and I wasn’t. Heck I didn’t even know what that SEO was. I accidentally came across a website one day that offered a free membership that included S.E.O. training.
