Choosing your keywords PART ONE

Keywords and Meta Tags is the most common question we receive. In an effort to answer your questions, we offer a five part blog about this popular topic.

Target the wrong keywords and all your efforts will be in vain. Choose the right keywords, and you'll see your traffic skyrocket. Therefore, think long and hard on what keywords people are likely to use to find you.

The question to ask yourself is how do you really know if you're optimizing your pages for keywords that web surfers are looking for? There are several good techniques you can apply to determine what people might be searching for:

- Put yourself in their shoes and brainstorm.
- See what keywords your competitors are targeting to spur new ideas.
- Organize and focus your keywords into short phrases, etc.

However, one of the best ways is to stop guessing and actually SEE what people are searching for. That's why we recommend a service which you can try for free at: http://www.wordtracker.com
