Keyword Research

Keyword enquiry is critical to the process of SEO. Absence of these factors, your efforts to rank well in the major search engines may be clouded to the wrong terms and phrases, resulting in rankings that no one will ever see. The process of keyword enquiry requires several phases:

Brainstorming - Conceiving of what your clients/possible visitors would be likely to case in to search engines in an effort to find theinformation/services your site offers

Appraising Clients - Following past or valuable customers is a groovy way to extend your keyword list to include as many terms and phrases as possible. It can also give you an idea of what's likely to be the largest traffic drivers and produce the high-pitched conversion rates.

Enforcing Data Research Tools – There are various tools online (including Wordtracker & Overture – each depicted below) offering the information about the number of times users perform specific searches. Using these tools can offer concrete data about trends in keyword researches.

Condition Survival - The next step is to create a substance or chart that canvasses the terms that you believe are worthful and equates the traffic, relevancy and the likelihood of conversions for each. This will allow you to make the best informed decisions about which terms to target.

Execution Testing and Analytics - After keyword selection and execution of targeting, analytics programs (like Web Trends) that measure web traffic, activity and conversions can be used to further refine keyword selection.

Overture

Currently, the two most popular sources of keyword data are Word tracker and Overture whose statistics come mainly from use of the meta-search engine Overture (recently re-branded as Yahoo! Search Marketing), which offers data collected from searches performed on Yahoo’s engine (with a 22-28% share). While either’s data is flawless or entirely accurate, both provide good methods for measuring comparative numbers

In the Overture tool, multiple search phrases are combined. For example, Wordtracker would severally show numbers for "adobe cs3", "Adobe CS3", "adobe”, Overture would give a single number that encompasses all of these. The granularity of data can be more useful for analyzing searches that may result in unique results pages (plurals often do and different word orders almost always do), but capitalization is of less effect as the search engines don't deliver different results based on capitalization.

Remember that Word tracker and Overture are both useful tools for relative keyword data, but it can be wrong when compared to the real number of searches performed. In other words, use of these tools to choose which terms to direct, but don't depend on them for foretelling the amount of traffic you can achieve. The main goal is figuring traffic numbers; the programs like Google's Ad words and Yahoo! Search Marketing are to test the number of impressions on a particular term/phrase.

WEB 2.0 PROMOTIONS

Web 2.0 has brought back to the Internet the need for relevant content. Early on before the monetization of the web if you had cool content you had traffic. Relevant traffic.

Low-ranking Generators

The search engine results pages contain not only listings of documents found to be relevant to the user's query, but also the other subjects, including paid advertisements and secondary source results. Yahoo, for example, serves up ads from its well-known Yahoo Publisher Network (which currently fuels more than in Yahoo revenues) as well as secondary content from its search, and for product search in Google (called Froogle) and image search results in Yahoo.

The sites/pages ranking in the "organic" search results receive the lion's share of searcher eyeballs and clicks - between 60-70% depending on factors such as the prominence of ads, relevance of secondary content, etc. The practice of optimization for the paid search results is called SEM or Search Engine Marketing while optimizing to rank in the secondary results requires unique, advanced methods of targeting specific searches in arenas such as local search, product search, image search and others. While all of these practices are a valuable part of any online marketing campaign, they are beyond the scope of this guide. Our sole focus remains on the "organic" results, although links at the bottom of this paper can help direct you to resources on other subjects.

Corn of the Stalk

In the classical world of Information Retrieval, when no commercial interests survived in the databases, very simple-minded algorithms could be used to generate high quality results. On the World Wide Web, however, the opposite is true. Commercial concerns in the SERPs are a never-ending issue for modern search engines. With every new focus on quality control and growth in relevance prosody, there are thousands of souls (many in the field of SEO) committed to controlling these metrics in order to check the SERPs, typically by aiming to list their sites/pages first.

The sorriest kind of results are what the industry concerns to as "search spam" - pages and sites with little real value that contain primarily re-directs to other pages, lists of links, grated (copied) content, etc. These pages are so irrelevant and useless that search engines are highly focused on getting rid of them from the index. Of course the pecuniary bonuses are similar to junk e-mail although few visit and fewer click on the links (which are what provide the spam publisher with gross), the absolute quantity is the critical factor in developing income.

Other "spam" results rates from sites that are of low quality or affiliate status that search engines would prefer not to list, to high quality sites and businesses that are using the link structure of the web to control the results in their favor. Search engines are focused on clearing out all types of manipulation and hope to finally achieve fully relevant and organic algorithms to determine ranking order. So-called "search engine spammers" wage in a constant battle against these tactics, seeking new loopholes and new methods for manipulation, resulting in a never-ending conflict.

Queries and Keywords

Search engines rely on the terms queried by users to influence the results to put through their algorithms, order and return to the user. But, rather than simply realizing and recovering exact matches for query terms, search engines use their knowledge of substance (the skill of lyric) to construct intelligent matching for queries. An example might be a search for car rentals that also returned results that did not contain that specific phrase, but instead had the term cab hirers.

The engines collect data based on the frequency of use of terms and the co-occurrence of words and phrases throughout the web. If certain terms or phrases are often found together on pages or sites, search engines can construct intelligent hypotheses about their relationships. Mining semantic data through the unbelievable principle that is the Internet has given search engines some of the most exact data about word arrangements and the connections between words ever gathered artificially. This vast knowledge of language and its usage gives them the ability to determine which pages in a site are locally related, what the topic of a page or site is how the link structure of the web separates into current communities and much more.

Search engines' growing artificial intelligence on the subject of language means that queries will increasingly return more intelligent, acquired results. This profound investment in the field of natural language processing (NLP) will help to attain greater understanding of the meaning and aim behind their users' queries. Over the long term, users can await the results of this work to produce increased relevancy in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) and more exact estimates from the engines as to the aim of a user's queries.

Figure of Hyperlinks

A standard hyperlink in HTML code looks like this:

Free1Free

In this example, the code simply indicates that the text "Free1Free" (called the "anchor text" of the link) should be hyperlinked to the page http://www. Free1free.com. a search engine would interpret this code as a message that the page carrying this code believed the page http://www.Free1free.com to be relevant to the text on the page and particularly relevant to the term “Free1Free. ".

A more complex piece of HTML code for a link may include additional attributes such as:

free1free

In this case, new factors such as the link title and really may specify how a search engine considers the link, contempt of its visual panorama on the page left unaltered. The title attribute may serve as an extra piece of entropy, telling the search engine that http:// www.free1free.com, in summation to being related to the term “Free1Free", is also relevant to the phrase "Free1free". The real attribute, originally planned to describe the relationship between the linked-to page and the linking page, has, with the Holocene growth of the "nofollow" descriptive, become more composite.

"Nofollow" is a tag designed specifically for search engines. When described to a link in the real attribute, it tells the engine's ranking system that the link should not be mooted an editorially approved "ballot" for the linked-to page. Presently, there are major search engines that all support "nofollow". I.e. (Yahoo!, MSN & Google)

Some links may be specified to images, instead of text:

this example shows an image named " freestuff.gif "linking to the page - http://www. Free1free.com. the alt attribute, contrived in the beginning to display in place of pictures that were slack to load or on voice-based web. Search engines can use the entropy in an image based link, including the name of the image and the alt attribute to represent what the linked-to page is about.

Other types of links may also be used on the web, many of which pass no ranking or spidering assess due to their use of re-direct, JavaScript or former technologies. A link that does not have the authoritative text format, be it image or text, should be in generally conceived not to have conceived link value via the search engines (although in rare cases, engines may undertake to succeed these more composite style links).

In this example, the redirect used scrambles the URL by spelling it backwards, but unscrambles it later with a script and sends the visitor to the site. It can be assumed that this passes no search engine link value.

free1free

This sample shows the very simple piece of code that calls a role cited in the document to rip up an assigned page. Creative uses of JavaScript like this can also be accepted to pass no link value to a search engine.
