How can you come up with keyword ideas?  A good starting point is to use online keyword software to get some more ideas. There are programs like Overture that can take one keyword and then they will return many more for you to look consider.  These keywords can be used in your content and elsewhere on your website.  Many Internet marketers also use WordTracker’s Free Keyword Tool to help them determine which keywords are popular.  These keyword programs obtain their results from the various search engines so you can be assured that your keywords represent current parameters.

Search engine optimization is useful for your website content but the content is not the only place where keywords are important. Use your chosen keywords to get ranked through other places on your site and other sites too. Here are just a few:

  • Headlines (for each web page and article)
  • Anchor text (for links within articles and elsewhere on the page)
  • Picture tags
  • Tabs (pulldown menus)

Search engine optimisation helps you to create a relevant website for the search engines. After you take the time to set up your website with all the information that your customers will want to see, use your keywords. This gives the search engines what they need to rank you well so that those customers can find your products or services when it’s most important.
