LINK POPULARITY
Now, it is also important to remember that through all of the keyword research that can be done, in reality, "users don't search for "your" keywords". They search for what they search for! That can be ANYTHING.... You can impress yourself with how high you can rank on a keyword, but really, users type whatever they type."
Keyword research, by a qualified specialist, helps in determining what a person is going to type. Let's face it, it is very difficult to guess what and how another will be thinking at any given moment as they are searching for something in particular. You might type "keyword research" to find this page while someone else might type "choosing good keywords" while someone else might type "how to target the best search terms".
The key is to try to first target keywords which seem to have a current trend. At the same time, we must also always remember that a "trend" is just that, a "trend". Maybe last month "Keyword Marketing" produced 5,000 searches in all of the search engines combined. This month, it is entirely possible that there were no more than 500 searches in all of the engines combined. Big difference. Keyword trends should be monitored closely over a period of time and not rushed into. And even then keyword, should not be set in stone. People will still search how they will search.
While considering how many people are actually searching for the phrases that you wish to obtain a high ranking for, you must also consider the amount of competing web pages that appear in search results for that term.
A keyword phrase that produces only 10,000 competing web pages is going to be much easier, quicker and will require much less effort to obtain a high ranking over a phrase that produces 100,000, 500,000 or in excess of over 1 million web pages.
This is where the experience, knowledge, resources and tools of a certified search engine optimization specialist becomes very useful and needed.
If you are ready to begin the research on your keyword choices, and would like to seek the advice of a certified search engine positioning specialist, many services plans are offered by Web Submission Services.
