The ABC's of SEO
Keyword content articles, boy oh boy are they the latest 
rage on the Internet! Have keywords got you spinning? 
Stop flailing around for a minute and pay attention, 
keywords are really not the big idea and as soon as you 
learn that, you'll be on your way to the top of the search 
engine. If you're ready to leave your competition to eat 
dust, read on.
While we're on the subject of SEO, it's really kind of hard 
not to elaborate on domain names first. Let's say that 
the name of your site is Cow Doodle, just an example. 
Should your site be cowdoodle.com or cow-doodle.com? 
There's really a lot of debate about which would be best 
to use. Consider the hyphen because it may be easier for 
the bots to read, there's really no evidence that 
supports this and you should use your own discretion 
but that's my personal preference.
Having said that, let's move on to the important topic 
and that's keywords. Keywords are what people use to 
find you, when they type in a phrase like "western 
boots", if you sell western boots or have any type of 
business relating to western boots then that means you 
want that person to find you. If it's western boots 
potential clients are typing in to find you, then that 
should be your keywords to begin with. If your business 
has fifty different pages, that feature fifty different 
items then doesn't it makes sense to dedicate your 
efforts unique to each page? Each page should be 
keyword rich keeping your products and searched terms 
in mind.
Beware.
If your products are made by G.E., it's best not to let the 
term "G.E." overcast your pages and put a damper on 
your products. The best way to find out what the best 
keywords would be for your site would be to put 
yourself in the shoes of your potential clients. Ask 
yourself a question.
If you were a potential client looking for a product you 
have, what kind of phrase would you look for to find it? 
Answer that question and get other people to answer it 
too. It doesn't have to be a product; it can be services 
that you provide or anything for that matter.
After you settle the keyword debate, think about 
keyword density.
Keyword density is really a percentage. Let's say you 
have 100 words, and your keywords are mentioned 5 
times throughout your content article, then you have 5% 
keyword density in that content article. That's seems 
simple enough right?
It really is but the mistake that most people make is 
going overboard with keywords. I think you know what I 
mean, just take a look below at this example to see what 
happens when someone goes overboard.
The norm would be:
Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was white as snow and 
everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
Makes sense right?
Mary had a little lamb, Mary had a little lamb his fleece 
was white as snow and everywhere that Mary had a 
little lamb, Mary had a little lamb was sure to go.
That's gone overboard and it's everywhere!
That's gone overboard, not going and it's ridiculous to 
try to do that to draw in potential clients. Would you 
rather have quality or quantity? Most of us want quality 
and it's no different for the potential clients you want to 
target. Not only should your content be keyword rich, it 
should be rich in context and that's where a little skill 
comes in.
Don't waste your money on those supposed keyword 
generators because you'll end up editing the content 
and if you're not a writer, you'll be lost!
Hire a writer.
It may set you back a few bucks but in today's Internet 
politics, there's really no way around it. Top sites are 
paying freelance writers to develop keyword rich 
content everyday and why shouldn't you? There are 
oodles of places on the Internet at this very moment 
with content writers waiting to write killer content for 
your site, most of them are experienced with SEO 
requests and you'll notice a turn around by just viewing 
the stats of your website. The overall goal is to keep 
your clients coming back, grab their attention with 
useful information so that they can browse through your 
site to see what else you have to offer and that's 
priceless.
Especially once you consider the money you are already 
losing.
Meta tags were once the rave and everyone jumbled 
every keyword possible into them, guess what...sites still 
have them stuffed into page titles-it's useless. Meta tag 
days are over.
Links are in though! You can gain some rankings by 
linking to other top sites that hold them and if you can 
negotiate some reciprocal links back, it's even better. 
This makes your site look important, if all of these sites 
want to link to you then that means your site should be 
easier to find. The search engines will reward you 
generously.
If you want to gain better rankings, these are the ABC's 
of SEO and they should be followed with respect. A little 
patience and some hard work will put you closer to the 
top, where everyone wants to be.
