Keyword Research Choosing Effective Keywords – Get Traffic To Your Website
When it comes to keyword research, many of us when we first set out to build a website do not understand the importance of doing right from the start.
Setting up a website without doing keyword research or planning the structure around these keywords is like building a house without foundations or a set of plans.
Most of us know that it is important to write a business plan if we are going to setup a business and to have goals to aim for. Not everyone does it and I think that most who do not tend to fail. Not having a business plan is like setting sail on the ocean with no charts or navigational equipment, you will soon be lost at sea and lucky ever to see land again.
There is a saying “fail to plan and you plan to fail”
I believe that keyword research is as important as your business plan.
So how do you go about doing effective keyword research that will drive traffic to your blog or website?
Well, it is not as difficult as all that. It just takes time and a bit of a thought process.
If you are using wordpress to build a site, which I highly recommend, then building the structure is relatively easy, even for a beginner. The beauty of word press is that it already has the structure in place all you have to do is add the page names and all is done for you.
There are two type of keyword research that you need to do. The first is the theme keywords. These are the keywords that you would use for your website pages. The second ones are your money keywords.
Theme words are what people will use when they are looking for information on your topic or subject. I have seen many articles advising people not to bother with these but just to go for the buying or money keywords but I do not agree. Ranking for the information seeking keywords is as important in the long term future of a website. Becoming an authority on a subject will have a sustainable effect on your long term rankings.
Once you have the reputaion as an authority website then it becomes much easier to rank for the more valuable money keywords.
Lets say you were setting up a website about The Isle of Man. A small Island off of the West coast of England.
You could well have the following as your themed keywords.
The Isle of Man
Main Towns
IOM Villages
History of the Isle of Man
The manx (search it for yourself 😉 )
Isle of Man books
Travel guide to the Isle of Man
Things to Do on The Isle of Man
Fishing on the Isle of Man
Sea Fishing on IOM
Fresh water fishing on the IOM
Scuba Diving on the Isle of Man
Places to dive on the Isle of Man
Dive centres on the IOM
Cycling Holidays on the Isle of Man
Hiring a bike on the Isle of Man (link to relevant page on the Getting about section)
The Isle of Man TT Race (a very famous annual motorbike race they have on the island)
Getting to the Isle of Man
Plane
Ferry
Fast boat
Swimming (only joking)
Shopping on the Isle of Man
Walking Holidays on the Isle of Man
Night Life in the Isle of Man
Clubs
Restaurants
Bars
Pubs
Places to Stay on the Isle of Man
Isle of Man Hotels
Guest Houses on the Isle of Man
Campsites on the IOM
Getting about on the Isle of Man
Public Transport
Taxis
Private hire
Cycling
Hiring a Car
Working on the IOM
Type of jobs
How to find a job on IOM
Living on the Isle of Man
Buying a house
Legal requirements
Cost of buying a house
Estate agents details
Renting a house
The above list covers a lot of the main themes that people will be looking for when they search for information on the Isle of Man. There are probably more that you can think of to add but this should give you the basic idea of what you need to do for your website. The bolded keywords are headings and the others are sub headings.
Once you create these pages then you need to add content. Some of the headings will only require a small amount of content.
The second type of keywords are the buying ones and these are far more important but without the first ones you will have difficulty getting found for these money keywords.
Some of them are also in the main page headings as you will see.
Keyword Research For Content
when you begin to add content then you will use keywords like.
flights to the isle of man
plane tickets for the isle of man
booking a ferry to the isle of man
scuba diving clubs on the isle of man
cycling holidays
bike rentals
car hire companies
booking a hotel
where to stay in the IOM
These keywords are what people will use when they are closer to making a buying decision. Not only will you get traffic from google for these keywords but visitors to your site that see links to other parts of your website will also click through and go from information seekers to buyers.
This is quite a lengthy post and I hope it gets the main point across that you really MUST take the time to research your keywords before building your website.

You need to know how to use onlywire properly if you are going to succeed.
If you are not careful you can spend all your time setting up the 42 accounts only to get them banned or cancelled very quickly.
What Does OnlyWire Do?
Onlywire will bookmark your web pages to a number of social bookmarking websites. You setup accounts on each of them and then add the url of the webpage you want to promote. Alternatively you can use a plugin that will help do this for you on autopilot.
On the face of it to use onlywire looks like a simple process and, in principal it is. However, you need to understand what it does and think the process through!
If you use one onlywire account and only bookmark the same urls’s the social bookmarking sites will cancel you account very quickly and maybe ban you too.
This means that all of your hard work will have gone to waste.
As with all your SEO efforts you need to make it all look as natural as possible.
How natural do you think it looks to have your website the only one that is bookmarked? The social bookmarking websites have plenty of checks in place to weed out those that are not using their service properly.
There are a number of ways to help ensure that you keep your accounts open and working for you.
To use onlywire properly and get the best results you need do the following.
Setup at least 2 different sets of accounts.
Setup two different onlywire accounts and then go to each bookmarking website and register with all of the bookmarking websites.
The more the merrier. Then, alternate the onlywire accounts when bookmarking.
Work With Other Friends Or Colleagues
An alternative to using multiple accounts is to work with a number of other trusted people that will ALL use the same onlywire account.
If there are 5 or 10 different people in different niches and markets using one account this will look far more natural.
As like anything that you do when you are doing SEO think it all through first and understand the full implications of what you are about to do.
Onlywire is a great tool but abuse it and you will find your efforts have been wasted.
If you have any questions or do not understand this fully then as always just send me a message from my contact form and I will do my best to help answer your query.
Google social search has been around since 2009 but it recently has had some recent changes. There is a good reason for this. Read on and you will see why.
The thing is, as internet marketers, we carry on with what we do and some of us spend a lot of time on SEO forums and blogs to try and understand the nuances of the latest search engine optimisation techniques and tricks.
Not all of the participants on these sites know anything at all about SEO, they just spout stuff that they have read on other sites or even worse, make it up as they go along. I always find it best to do my own tests and make up my own mind based on the results of my testing. I often find that different strategies can have varying effects depending on the types of websites and niches.
For example an technique that works really well for an e-commerce site will not work as well for a niche blog site.
A static site that is not updated on a regular basis can rank very well if you do certain things. Carrying out these same tasks on a blog will not have much impact. that is why testing is so important.
I read in an email from a supposed seo expert the other day that read “it if we could figure out the google algorithm then we could rank on the first page of google as easy as pie.”!!
Actually, google DO NOT hide the secret to first page results. It is simple but time consuming and takes a lot of effort. You have to produce and provide value for your visitor. Relevant information related to what the searcher is looking for.
Google even provide a whole section of their website dedicated to helping webmasters learn the basic of SEO the google way. here is the link google webmaster help
Few of us pay enough attention to the facts that are out there. This is because a lot of this information is hidden amongst lengthy technical data which can be difficult to dissect and gleem the golden nuggets.
For those that do spend time reading these long winded white papaers and the SEO news releases you will have seen the recent announcement by bing and facebook. They are going to fully integrate the social data from facebook into the bing search results.
Why is this link between facebook and bing so important?
Well after the announcement, Google made an almost instant repsonse and you can bet your bottom dollar that this will not be the last change.
This intergration will change the way that google brings back results. Especially if you use gmail and are usually logged into your google account when you use the google search.
Why is Google Social Search A Game Changer?
The changes to the google social search will change the way the search engines deliver results. This may not have an immediate effect on your rankings or traffic. However, over time it will do and so it is important that you take the time to understand what it is google social search does.
If you want to stay ahead or even get ahead of your competition then learn all you can about social searching and then take some action to ensure your website is the one that is served up to those searching for your product or service.
As always use the contact me page if you have any questions, I will be happy to helo if I can.

Mark my words the next thing that will be hot all over the forums will be google social search.
Search engine optimisation is about so many things. You will read many different theories on the rights and wrongs of ranking your website, design factors, on page optimisation, W3C compliance and the like.
The thing is this can all be done over time and I would always recommend that you first get it up (if you pardon the pun) and then work on getting it right.
When trying to rank your website in the search engines, produce a new product or even to design a new website, the first thing is to get it up and out there.
Whilst of course it is important to get it right waiting for perfection is a problem we should try and live without.
Every time I look at my website I find of something that I think I can improve. I also get comments from visitors either praise or criticism which is great. Any form of feedback is very much appreciated as they have taken the time to put finger to keyboard and type me a message.
I have tried many different ways to make the site better. Most of the improvements these days revolve around faster speeding times as this makes a difference to my google rankings and, of course, the visitor experience.
Over time, I believe that my website has improved in the way it looks and the overall onpage search engine optimisation.IT is still far from perfect but, I think that it is doing ok. It ranks well for a number of highly competitive terms with very few backlinks.
However much you are tempted to wait until everything is just right, I suggest you get your site online or your product launched as soon as possible and you will reap the benefits.
