Thread: How do you get your rank up in Google

You might want to look into the google adwords keyword tool. Pretty simple to use.

SEMrush is quite useful

Hopefully your not referring to the meta tag keywords because most search engines ignore them now. We still use them on our site but its mainly for the rare search engines. Thats worth maybe 30 people a month? Its too small to track. Google, Bing, and Yahoo dont use keyword meta tags.

Long gone are the days of throwing up a website and getting a ton of traffic it takes time now. Your plan had better be years out not just a few weeks and expect tons of traffic unless you find a golden search term with little competition. Even the true SEO's can have trouble getting big traffic or key terms with so much competition out there and they are competing with other SEO's that puts the beginner into little to no traffic.

Tip if you ever deal with someone offering SEO skills ask them what keyword they can get you top ranking for and watch them run away or make excuses. If you get a real seo he will be very upfront on what keywords he thinks you can get top ranking on. Most of them just repeat the basics of web design which you can learn on your own.

How much competition is out there. Type any random term today and you get tons of results its a saturated market. I just tried "smurf fart" and got 5,000 results thats how saturated the internet is today and there are tons of real estate sites going up every day. "real estate" returns 422 million. But dont be deterred by that there is traffic to be captured.

If your site has very few pages you have to target barely used words/keyphrases. When you site gets large you can target better keywords that are more saturated. For instance if your starting out and you expect top ranking on the term "Real Estate" your going to be dissapointed or go broke trying to buy the term. Target a term like "mooresville NC real estate" that fewer websites will be using. Even then competition can be fierce as I shown smurf farts has 5000 pages for some reason. So when looking for terms think of terms you would use to find your site then use keyword tools to look at the competition then single out the terms rarely used unless you have a lot of content then you might try a few better terms if you could have more content the other sites out there.

A good keyword search tool will tell you what words or terms are barely used and when starting out your site target them for traffic. The traffic wont yield you big numbers in search results of traffic at first but youll own the term which is important. A term that gets you 10 hits a month is not a loser unless its totally unrelated to what your trying to capture. Only one person is needed to buy or sell a home and if its a great term its a winner.

If your site is current with good information and growing it will get better with time.

Time and Original content are key. Sorry if I jumped around on this and did some repeats lot going on in the house while I was trying to write it.

Google Adword keyword tool works best for me. I usually use this tool for selecting keywords for my website.

Completely agree with Interior. Start out slow by targetting long-tail keyphrases with less competition and as you build up (and it will take time) go for more competitive terms. Best of luck.

As per the SEO algorithm, the keywords are the main part for the website because we can get page rank according to the SEO on keywords. So for the on page meta tag is important and for the off page keywords and the signature is important.

I use the googlr asdwords keyword tool.
Biut I also ask people what jkeywords they would type in Google or any search engine to find the information they want to find.

Google adword seem to be very helpful. I have a new site also and have been researching. I found a good one a while back but can't remember the site. I believe I just searched on google and yahoo for seo keyword help and found some good stuff.
