The importance of good keywords

Getting the right keywords for your page is one of the biggest factors that determine the success of your page in the internet. Good keywords are the building block of your webpage. You must do a major research on the keyword phrases where your site will focus. You should use a keyword software like goodkeywords that’s a free Windows software for finding the best keywords for your web site pages. You can also use Google Keyword Tool, Wordtracker.com or Nichebot.com, or superior keyword research software such as Brad Callen’s Keyword Elite.

Regardless of what process you choose, you must take your keywords very carefully. You should check the competition for that keyword or phrase and the number of searches made each month for that keyword. You can compare searches made for a set of keywords using Google Trends.

Other very important factor is keyword density. Keyword density refers to the ratio of keywords contained within the total number of words in a given web page. The preferred keyword density ratio varies from search engine to search engine. In general is recommended to use a keyword density ratio between 3-10%. Some websites provide real-time keyword analysis, helping you optimize the density ratio, like KeywordDensity.com.

Try to fit your keyword in the url of your site, and make sure you place it in the title tag of your page, as well in the h1 tag. This will help search engines like Google to rank your page in higher spots.
