Make use of more than one Keyword Research Tool
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010A Keyword Tool is quite useful in knowing how users are making searches and which phrase is being most commonly used. Given this, just making use of one such tool may narrow down the chances of finding the right keywords. There are many Tools like Google Adwords, Wordtracker, WordStream, Google Suggest, etc which the website owners can use to determine the relevancy of proposed keywords.
Avoid the obvious keywords
It is understood that most used keywords have high search volume and equally high is competition. Instead of overcoming the high level of competition, one should focus on using the niche keywords appropriately and efficiently.
Choose keywords that match your content as well
It is one of the common mistakes that SEOs make while selecting the keyword. They select keyword or keyword phrases on the basis of their search volume implying they choose the competitive keywords. Instead, keywords must be selected in context to the website content to support the overall SEO process.
Use Long tail and less competitive keywords
Long tail keywords are effective in getting results as they have lesser competition. Once considerable outcomes are achieved, move on to select the new set of keywords.
Not always start with the Home Page
It is not mandatory to start optimizing the Home page. Most site owners think that doing it will yield results but forget that a lot of content is available on the inner pages which if optimized first for search engines can also produce good results. There is no harm in moving from inner pages to Home page.
These are some of the useful tips for website owners to make their Keyword Research process more effective.
Where is Google Caffeine?
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010The much hyped new search tool by Google called Caffeine, which was also touted as Google’s secret project, after an initial preview in August last year is showing no signs of a launch though several months have passed. It was considered to be an updated version of the search engine for which Google created a sandbox at www2.sandbox.google.com and asked people to give feedback. Though it created quite an interest but the delay in its launch has made people grow skeptical and there is no final announcement from Google regarding its going LIVE yet.
As coming from Google, it was tested and compared to the older version on parameters such as Speed, Accuracy, Index Size and Temporal Relevancy. As it seems that Google Caffeine will still take time, let us undertake a quick recap on how it faired on the above mentioned scales:
Speed: It checks the ability of a search engine to load results. In comparison Google Caffeine was found to show results faster than the older version.
Accuracy: Accuracy is related to the effectiveness of search engine to show precise results for search terms. Google Caffeine gain scored higher as it showed more accurate results which were quite in sync with what the user would like to get.
Temporal Relevancy: It relates to the ability of search engine to incorporate breaking news. It was found to be the same.
Index Size: It counts the number of results captured by search engines for particular search. Again Google Caffeine scored high leaving behind the older version.
Though it performed better but the time taken by Google to make it active may derail the interest of users as many have already started asking “Where is Google Caffeine?” we hope that Google puts arrest to all speculations and give users the opportunity to use the enhanced version.
