BREAKING NEWS
Search engines are the vehicles that drive potential customers to your websites.
But in order for visitors to reach their destination - your website - you need to
provide them with specific and effective signs that will direct them right to your
site. You do this by creating carefully chosen keywords.
Think of the right keywords as the Open Sesame! of the Internet. Find the exactly
right words or phrases, and presto! hords of traffic will be pulling up to your front
door. But if your keywords are too general or too over-used, the possibility of
visitors actually making it all the way to your site - or of seeing any real profits
from the visitors that do arrive - decreases dramatically.
Your keywords serve as the foundation of your marketing strategy. If they are not
chosen with great precision, no matter how aggressive your marketing campaign
may be, the right people may never get the chance to find out about it. So your
first step in plotting your strategy is to gather and evaluate keywords and
phrases.
You probably think you already know EXACTLY the right words for your search
phrases. Unfortunately, if you haven't followed certain specific steps, you are
probably WRONG. It's hard to be objective when you are right in the center of
your business network, which is the reason that you may not be able to choose
the most efficient keywords from the inside. You need to be able to think like
your customers.
And since you are a business owner and not the consumer, your best bet is to go
directly to the source.
Instead of plunging in and scribbling down a list of potential search words and
phrases yourself, ask for words from as many potential customers as you can.
You will most likely find out that your understanding of your business and your
customers' understanding is significantly different.
The consumer is an invaluable resource. You will find the words you accumulate
from them are words and phrases you probably never would have considered
from deep inside the trenches of your business.
Only after you have gathered as many words and phrases from outside resources
should you add your own keyword to the list. Once you have this list in hand, you
are ready for the next step: evaluation.
The aim of evaluation is to narrow down your list to a small number of words and
phrases that will direct the highest number of quality visitors to your website. By
"quality visitors" I mean those consumers who are most likely to make a
purchase rather than just cruise around your site and take off for greener
pastures. In evaluating the effectiveness of keywords, bear in mind three
elements: popularity, specificity, and motivation.
Popularity is the easiest to evaluate because it is an objective quality. The more
popular your keyword is, the more likely the chances are that it will be typed into
a search engine which will then bring up your URL.
You can now purchase software that will rate the popularity of keywords and
phrases by giving words a number rating based on real search engine activity.
Software such as WordTracker will even suggest variations of your words and
phrases. The higher the number this software assigns to a given keyword, the
more traffic you can logically expect to be directed to your site. The only fallacy
with this concept is the more popular the keyword is, the greater the search
engine position you will need to obtain. If you are down at the bottom of the
search results, the consumer will probably never scroll down to find you.
Popularity isn't enough to declare a keyword a good choice. You must move on to
the next criteria, which is specificity. The more specific your keyword is, the
greater the likelihood that the consumer who is ready to purchase your goods or
services will find you.
Let's look at a hypothetical example. Imagine that you have obtained popularity
rankings for the keyword "automobile companies." However, you company
specializes in bodywork only. The keyword "automobile body shops" would rank
lower on the popularity scale than "automobile companies," but it would
nevertheless serve you much better. Instead of getting a slew of people
interested in everything from buying a car to changing their oil filters, you will get
only those consumers with trashed front ends or crumpled fenders being directed
to your site. In other words, consumers ready to buy your services are the ones
who will immediately find you. Not only that, but the greater the specificity of
your keyword is, the less competition you will face.
The third factor is consumer motivation. Once again, this requires putting yourself
inside the mind of the customer rather than the seller to figure out what
motivation prompts a person looking for a service or product to type in a
particular word or phrase. Let's look at another example, such as a consumer
who is searching for a job as an IT manager in a new city. If you have to choose
between "Seattle job listings" and "Seattle IT recruiters" which do you think will
benefit the consumer more? If you were looking for this type of specific job,
which keyword would you type in? The second one, of course! Using the second
keyword targets people who have decided on their career, have the necessary
experience, and are ready to enlist you as their recruiter, rather than someone
just out of school who is casually trying to figure out what to do with his or her
life in between beer parties. You want to find people who are ready to act or
make a purchase, and this requires subtle tinkering of your keywords until your
find the most specific and directly targeted phrases to bring the most motivated
traffic to you site.
Once you have chosen your keywords, your work is not done. You must
continually evaluate performance across a variety of search engines, bearing in
mind that times and trends change, as does popular lingo. You cannot rely on
your log traffic analysis alone because it will not tell you how many of your
visitors actually made a purchase.
Luckily, some new tools have been invented to help you judge the effectiveness
of your keywords in individual search engines. There is now software available
that analyzes consumer behavior in relation to consumer traffic. This allows you
to discern which keywords are bringing you the most valuable customers.
This is an essential concept: numbers alone do not make a good keyword; profits
per visitor do. You need to find keywords that direct consumers to your site who
actually buy your product, fill out your forms, or download your product. This is
the most important factor in evaluating the efficacy of a keyword or phrase, and
should be the sword you wield when discarding and replacing ineffective or
inefficient keywords with keywords that bring in better profits.
Ongoing analysis of tested keywords is the formula for search engine success.
This may sound like a lot of work - and it is! But the amount of informed effort
you put into your keyword campaign is what will ultimately generate your
business' rewards.
