How to Perform Proper Keyword Research For SEO

May 8, 2022   Search Engine Optimization   No comments

Perhaps the most integral aspect of any Utah SEO campaign involves an aggressive, proactive keyword research strategy. However, it is simply not enough to go online and look at the global monthly searches for any given keyword; there are particular strategies involved with targeting keywords that can optimally boost the traffic to your site. Although experience is one of the best tools out there, here are a few ways that you can objectively implement well-faceted research for particular keywords.

First and foremost: Competition. Before launching an aggressive campaign, most Utah SEO companies will analyze their competitor’s keywords and strategies before diving right in. So what does competitor analysis look like in a practical sense? By spending a few hours thoroughly investigating the keywords in a competitor’s URL, page headlines and content, a counteractive search engine campaign with a keyword focus can be launched. Taking a look at other company’s websites within a particular niche field can clue you in to what’s being actively searched for, and what’s not. After thorough analysis, you can then decide the appropriate keywords to target.

In addition to documenting a particular phrase’s monthly global search volume, finding out how many back links a keyword can generate is a very useful strategy. Often, back links are created in the form of unique content; therefore, a non-literary phrase such as “cow pink” is going to be a bit harder to create back links for. Most Utah SEO campaigns take into consideration phrases like this, but do not aggressively target seemingly nonsensical keywords. Although there might be some variation in the search volume, targeting a coherent phrase such as “pink cows” is going to yield a higher potential for back links through unique content. So as you pinpoint your campaign’s phrases, be objective – in a literary sense.

When selecting target phrases for a Utah SEO campaign, also consider from a detached point of view the words you’re targeting. If you run a fruit company, and determine that you’d like to rank for the short tail word “apple”, stop before you do. The majority of people typing “apple” into Google are looking for computers – not fruit. So even if you managed to rank for this word, you still won’t be getting relevant traffic. Instead, try a variation of the word that’s more specific to your niche. By doing so, you’ll ensure that all traffic coming into your site is relevant – which ultimately means more conversions for your site.

Linking Strategies Using Link Directories (Page 1 of 2)

April 27, 2022   RSS / Link Popularity   No comments

Introduction:

Building high quality links to your website is one of the most important things that you can do to improve your search engine rankings. You can think of these links as votes in favor of you website (this is the way the search engines see it). Acquiring high quality links for your site can be very time consuming, however it is a very important thing to do if you want to get great search engine rankings.

Before I continue, let me quickly define Link Popularity (link pop) for you. Link Popularity simply refers to the amount and quality of inbound links to your site. There are many free tools available on the internet for checking your link popularity.

How Link Directories Can Help You

Using link directories is one of the best ways to get quality links to your site. A link directory is basically a web site which has a huge collection of links that are sorted by categories. People who are searching for a particular type of web site will use links directories as an alternative to doing a search engine query.

There are thousands upon thousands of link directories out there to choose from. I recently typed the keywords: link directories in to Google and received 1,120,000 hits.

When you submit your site to a link directory, it is edited by a human. Your submission will either be accepted or rejected, depending on the quality of you site, and whether it is relevant to the directory you are submitting to. If your site gets accepted, the users of the link directory will consider your site to be credible. Also, the search engines love links that point to your website from quality link directories.

You will want to have your link placed on as many link directories as you can. There are three reasons why you’ll want to do this. First, you will get targeted traffic to your site when people search the directory for your type of site. Second, you will increase you search engine rankings as your link popularity increases. Third, having links from link directories will help your web site pages to get indexed quickly.

Some Features Of Link Directories

When you submit to a link directory, you are usually given 3 choices that look something like this: o Featured Links o Regular Links o Regular Links With Recipricol The featured links will normally keep your listing towards the top of the list. There is always a charge for featured links (this is one of the ways that link exchanges make their money). The trouble here is that if a lot of people are buying featured links for a particular category, you may still be pushed quite a way down the list. With a lot of link directories, the regular links and the regular links with recipricol are offered for free. When I submit to directories, I always choose regular links and I only choose free ones. Listen, there is such an overwhelming number of link directories out there, that if you start paying for your submissions, you will quickly empty your bank account. There are plenty of free ones to choose from (just type free link directories into Google, and you will be amazed at the numbers). Finally, always choose the regular link option (one way) rather than the reciprcol link option. These days, search engines consider one way links to be more valuable that recipricol links (recipricol links are still OK, but they are not as good as one way links).
