Keyword Density and Related Keywords

Keyword Density and Related Keywords

While writing good and quality content for your website or blog, you should focus your page or post’s content around one keyword which would obviously a long tail keyword. Focusing your content on one keyword means include that key word in your content naturally. Do not attempt to force that keyword in your content or include that keyword in such a way that it will look unnatural to the human visitor or search engine crawler.

Login Here and open the Google Adwords Keyword Planner Tool. This Tool is located in "Tools and Analysis" tab in the menu with the name of "Keyword Planner". Once you are on the Google Adwords Keyword Planner Tool page, just open the first option "Search for new keyword and group ideas" and write down your keyword or key term (Long Tail Keyword) and hit the Get Ideas button. On the next page there are lots of keyword ideas that would include your key term with Monthly Searches, Yearly Searches, Competition, CPC, etc.

In Left Pane there is an option called Keyword filters use this option to select "LOW" competition so that Google Adwords tool only show keywords and key terms with low competition.
Now back to the search results or our keyword.
Avg monthly Searches are those searches that have been made in the last month for that particular keyword or key term with exact match. Competition means how other webmasters are using that keyword. Low Competition means there are not so many webmasters like us who are using the same keyword for optimizing there content and that’s where we would target our focus. We would Select Keywords with Low Competition and with High Monthly Searches.

Now we know how to conduct our keyword research we would follow this process and find as many possible long tail keywords or key terms that are related to our content, website or blog. In start it may be difficult to find some great keywords but with some practice this can be done correctly and properly. In the later posts I would show you some great stuff that will make this keyword research very easy and fun for you guys just stay tuned. One question that may tease you is that how many keywords we need to collect to start a new project. From my point of view we need keywords as many as we can find (may be 80-100 to give us a start) but do not forget the description of keywords that we need. Long tail Keywords with Low competition and High Monthly Searches.

After that keyword research now we have a pretty much big data base, now we can move to our next phase which is Analyze Competition for selected Keywords and Key Terms.
So we would start our Analysis of selected keywords for Competition. This may be a lengthy process but we have to find all information that we can get easily. We would type each keyword in Google and study the pages that Google will show us for that particular Keyword. We want to analyze our competitor’s pages, website or blog so that we can have necessary information about our competitor that how his page looks like in which areas he is strong and where he is weak.

How can we outsmart our  competitors and how can we optimize our pages, post, blog or website that will give the better impression to our readers than our competitor’s website or blog? All these and other questions are important and necessary for our knowledge about the competition we would face in future for that particular keyword so we have to make count each and every second we spent on competition analysis for our selected keywords. Because I know and when you do all these things you would also feel that this process is too lengthy and time consuming, but most important thing is that this process is the base for your project, it may be the key stone in your hands that will give you the ultimate freedom over search engine because may be your competitors haven’t figured this out yet.

So if you understand how this process works, you would have a power to rank on Google for your desired keywords and can crush your competition, it is that simple and clear. Do not worry in the start if you don’t get the results because there is always a logical explanation to any result we face. If you think something is wrong or not working just recall all the points you have learned and compare your project with those points there may be some areas that you skipped or may be applied with some other aspect so just rethink your strategy and work on all the possible areas so that you would get the best possible results.

How to do Keyword Research?

Keyword Research

Now as we have made our base and we know the answers to these general questions like what is Search Engine Optimization. How Search Engines Rank a website or blog. What is Over Optimization and how to avoid Over Optimization? We can build a map for us that we would follow in future to check our progress that what are we doing in SEO and what are the remaining areas to follow.
So let’s do this together!

There are 3 main pillars for any SEO Project:
  1. Keyword Research
  2. On Page SEO
  3. Off Page SEO
First thing you all should know that SEO is a process and all the areas where we would make modifications are inter-related and connected to each other like all the pieces of Jigsaw. We would discuss all above 3 areas one by one in detail so that you can model this process and able to apply this knowledge in your website or blog. Today we are going to discuss our First and foremost area which is Keyword Research. For this I would use Keyword tool called Google Adwords Keyword Planner, because a complete newbie like me can easily use this and it is pretty obvious that Google has dominated all the other search engines with its quality results so why not take fullest advantage of its Keyword Planner.

Before we start I would like to explain sub-points that we are going to discuss in Keyword Research.
  1. What is Keyword Research?
  2. How to Conduct Keyword Research?
  3. Analyze competition for selected Keywords and Key Terms.
  4. Build a Data Base of relevant Keywords for your Website or Blog.
  5. Optimize your website or blog for those selected Keywords.
Before I start talking on keyword research I want to mention one thing that KEYWORD RESEARCH is very important to start any project (website or blog) if you won’t do your keyword research your On Page SEO and Off Page SEO won’t matter either or you would just waste your time on On-Page and Off-Page SEO if you conduct Keyword Research poorly. So please whenever you start any project please conduct keyword research properly because it would save you time and money afterwards.

What is Keyword Research?

So what Keyword Research actually is! In simple words, Keyword research means finding related keywords and key terms for your website or Blog (for your main content of the blog or website). Now what kind of keywords we would find is the question. We would direct our focus on those key words and key terms for which there are most monthly searches. It means most of the visitors use those keywords and key terms to find web pages related to your content. The more monthly searches the better it is. And there would be some competition for those keywords and key terms. We do not want to select keywords with high Competition because it would be difficult to rank for those keywords or key terms. We would target Keywords that have More Monthly Searches and have low competition, for this we would select long tail Keywords (3, 4 or 5 words Keywords) because these keywords have low competition and it would be easier and also wiser to rank for these long tail keywords. Why I am focusing on long tail keywords because generally one and two words keywords has very strong and high competition and it would take us months or may be year to rank for these keywords. You may have different experience but I am writing all these facts because I have faced all these things and I know how hard it is to rank on Google if you are going to follow those one or two words keywords.

How to do Keyword Research?

Now we all know that what Keyword Research is, so we would discuss our second point which is how to conduct Keyword Research?
I am using Google Adwords for this, you may use any other tool but keep one thing in mind that it is a process just follow the steps and you are good to go whether you use Google Adwords or any other tool.
Just go to Google Adwords Keyword Planner tool’s Page, you need Google account to use this page you have to login and then you will be able to use this tool but don’t worry its free and it wouldn’t cost you a dime to use Google Adwords Keyword Planner Tool.
In the next post I'll show you how to conduct Keyword Research with Google Adwords Keyword Planner Tool with examples and pics so that you can model the process.
