			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.seotechnique.net/keyword-research-how-to-find-the-perfect-keywords"><b>Keyword research</b></a> is very important. It can make or break a campaign. All of your web pages should have targeted keywords, but which ones? How do you research and choose the right keyword for your project?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It is very hard to have a successful search engine optimization campaign without proper keyword research. Your main objective, when selecting a keyword is to get your website to show in the search results for key phrases that will benefit your project or business.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">How Do I Find The Right Keywords?</span></h3>
<p>There are specific <em>keyword research tools</em> online that help internet marketers find the right keywords for their campaigns. There are free and paid tools available.</p>
<p>Below is a short list of the ones I recommend (free and paid).</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Free Keyword Research Tools</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__u=1000000000&amp;__c=1000000000&amp;ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS#search.none" target="_blank">Google Keyword Tool</a></li>
<li><a href="https://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/" target="_blank">Wordtracker</a></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Paid Keyword Research Tools</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://seotechnique.net/MarketSamurai" target="_blank">Market Samurai</a></li>
<li><a href="http://seotechnique.net/MicroNicheFinder" target="_blank">Micro Niche Finder</a></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">I personally use <strong>Market Samurai</strong> for all of my keyword research. It is a reasonably priced product and most importantly, it is a very powerful tool for researching keywords. I highly recommend it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A free alternative would be <strong>Google keyword tool</strong>. It features a high quality, clean and frequently updated keyword database. It&#8217;s nowhere near as powerful as Market Samurai but if your on a budget it will work.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Wordtracker is also a good alternative but it is limited to 100 results. If you want to see all the keywords, you will have to pay.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">How Do I Choose The Right Keyword?</span></h3>
<p>Because it&#8217;s free, I will use Google keyword tool for this article.</p>
<p>Basic keyword research is fairly simple.</p>
<p>First, you will have to enter a keyword or phrase that best describes your project or web site. For this example, I will use the phrase &#8220;Real Estate&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://seotechnique.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/keyword1.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-237 aligncenter" title="keyword1" src="http://seotechnique.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/keyword1.gif" alt="" width="522" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see, globally, over 30 million searches are made for the phrase &#8220;Real Estate&#8221; every month. Ranking on the first page of Google for this phrase would be very profitable but to do so will take an extensive amount of money and time.</p>
<h4>Be realistic with keyword selection</h4>
<p>If you sort the results by global monthly searches, you&#8217;ll see that the phrase &#8220;real estate in new jersey&#8221; has only 246,000 monthly searches. It has significantly less searches than the phrase &#8220;real estate&#8221; but, selecting a longer tailed keyword like this will be more targeted to your business (if you have a real estate business in New Jersey).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://seotechnique.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/keyword2.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-242" title="keyword2" src="http://seotechnique.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/keyword2.gif" alt="" width="522" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>This keyword will take <span style="text-decoration: underline;">less time</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">cost less</span> to optimize for because there is less search volume and less competition. You can use even longer tailed keywords like &#8220;buy real estate in new jersey&#8221; or &#8220;new jersey real estate for sale&#8221;.</p>
<p>Remember, just because the keyword has less search volume doesn&#8217;t mean it will be less profitable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Basic SEO techniques</strong></span> are a must for any website owner who wishes for his or her site to get as much traffic that will translate to conversions as possible. SEO stands for search engine optimization, which makes it possible for websites to remain high in search engine rankings weeks after high quality content is even posted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a number of SEO techniques that need to be adhered to if a website owner would like for his or her site to be visited often and ranked high in all of the major search engines. They are placing keywords in the tag of a title; anchoring the text in links; maintaining the quality of inbound and outbound links; making sure that the first paragraph of any article is filled with top keywords; and ensuring that a website is accessible. There are other factors involved as well, but these are some of the primary ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://seotechnique.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/html.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-72" title="html" src="http://seotechnique.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/html-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="132" height="197" /></a>To begin, it is absolutely critical that keywords be positioned in the tag of a title. In fact, the tag of the title is one of the most critical elements that is necessary for keywords to rank high in search engines. With this said, a title needs to have keywords that are important, and it must also grab peoples&#8217; attention, an aspect especially of importance in today&#8217;s world of fast-moving technology and short attention spans. This is since when people type keywords into one of the major search engines, the title of a website owner&#8217;s page will be included amongst many other sites. The person conducting the search will only click on the links that are the most relevant and attractive to him or her. Furthermore to this end, titles should be unique, and it needs to be realized that some of the major search engines will only allow for the first few words of a title to appear in search results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to placing keywords in the title&#8217;s text, anchoring the text in links is also a basic and important SEO technique that should be practiced by website owners. The anchor text, as it is called, is the text that appears inside of tags that are hyperlinked to other websites. Irrespective of whether or not these links are outgoing or incoming, it is critical for the anchoring text to consist of a description of where the hyperlink will take the person conducting the search. With this said, a website owner needs to completely avoid using vague expressions like Click Here as anchoring text, as such unclear language can hurt both his or her website as well as the sites that they are linking to.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maintaining the quality of both inbound and outbound links is also a must for a website owner who wishes to optimize SEO on his or her site. While linking to numerous websites can make a given site&#8217;s ranking higher, it is absolutely essential for a website owner to comprehend that the quality of links also plays a critical role in the ranking of his or her website. In other words, getting numerous little-known websites to link to her or her site has less of an impact for a webmaster than if two or three high quality websites were to be hyperlinked to it. With this said, what sites a website is linked to matters. In fact, linking to bad websites and/or those infested with spam can not only greatly decrease the rankings of a website, but this could also result in penalties for the webmaster who is linking to the bad sites.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Making sure that the first paragraph of any article or page is filled with quality keywords is yet another recommended SEO practice for webmasters. The first paragraph is always the most important paragraph in a given page. This is since the search engines always scan the first paragraphs of pages and assume them to be a summary of what it to follow on a given page. With this said, the most important keywords must appear in the first sentence of the first paragraph.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A webmaster also has to make sure that his or her site is accessible when looking to maximize on search engine optimization techniques. A website that is accessible sets out to ensure that the content on it is delivered to recipients successfully as often as possible. The pages&#8217; functionality, the server&#8217;s uptime, and the HTML&#8217;s validity are all components of website accessibility. If these points are either faulty or not adhered to, both a website&#8217;s visitors and the major search engines will look for other websites to traverse to.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, a webmaster must absolutely adhere to search engine optimization techniques in addition to producing quality content for his or her website. Search engine optimization, or SEO as it is called, ensures that a website gets more traffic and is ranked high on the search engines. There are a number of SEO techniques to follow. They are placing keywords in the tag of a title; anchoring the text in links; maintaining the quality of inbound and outbound links; making sure that the first paragraph of any article is filled with top keywords; and ensuring that a website is accessible. There are other factors involved as well, but these are some of the primary ones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Traditional search engines are the searchable results of automated programs that index the web using multiple “spiders” or “bots”. The web marketer should optimize for these bots by knowing how spiders read a page, index it, and rank it. Marketers should know how to read the SE results and glean optimization ideas from them for basic SEO techniques. Spiders need a path to follow in order to find pages. This is why inbound linking is so crucial to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Search engines, that “sniff out” a site from multiple quality links, will rank that site higher in link relevancy.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Stress link quality not link quantity.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Search engine optimizing no longer means maximizing. In the past, web marketers would create mirror sites on similarly-named domains that all pointed to a system of ad pages. Web marketers would also create a formidable volume of interlinked “doorway pages”, the theory being that this improved their chances of being spidered by the big search engines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Doorways and mirror sites are no longer in the wise SEO arsenal of basic SEO techniques. Multiple sites with low relevancy linking to a site may give a site a temporary boost, but for long-term results, quality links are necessary for the website to be well-ranked. The marketer will also want to stay away from scripted methods that attempt to masquerade as blogs or similar quality sites to the search engines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In large part due to all the spamming, Google eventually downgraded the value of link quantity in favor of link quality. For instance, Google places much greater emphasis on “trusted” links or “content-rich sites”. Yahoo.com is a “trusted link“. Modern examples of “content rich links” might include one-way links from blogs, lenses, information hubs, content articles, and similar sites. It is also beneficial to remember, in light of basic SEO techniques, that Twitter is a search engine and will be more and more in play in days to come.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Keywords ARE important in basic SEO techniques.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gone are the days of keyword stuffing (filling a page or tags with keywords. Keywords are still vital, but they must be placed in the text, and in proper context with relevancy to the site itself. Relative keyword density is now the important factor. There are many excellent keyword search utilities on the web, even a couple of free ones. There are many theories on keyword choice. Some web marketers prefer less-popular, more targeted keywords. Others say it is better to rank #192 on Google for the keywords “free stuff” than #1 for “free eyeglass cases”, for instance.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Domains.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If a domain has been around for more than two years, its &#8220;ranking karma&#8221; is improved. Domains are a great help with basic SEO techniques. Purchasing domains from the drop list (the list of domains that have expired and are no longer held by the database), with more than two years of history, may be one low-radar way to improve your site’s Google credibility. A domain with keywords that match the site’s is also helpful.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Who is your visitor?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In order to find the right traffic, it is important for the web marketer to know what type of traffic he seeks. Who is your customer? To whom must you market? From which types of sites are they more likely to come? Has the site been listed in high relevancy directories? Can you post your link to forums and blogs that deal with the topic of your site?</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The best basic SEO techniques include search engine optimization for the future.</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A marketer who builds the best site possible, with regularly updated unique content, and thereby has other sites linking to them, will not have to do a lot of optimizing.  The site will optimize itself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When considering a new website many people overlook the importance of a fast web hosting service.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Google is now focusing more on web page load speeds as a factor in page ranking. It is very easy for Google to measure page load speeds, and that is exactly what they do when indexing your pages. Spiders will report back to Google with a page load time of each of your sites pages. An average is calculated over a period of time which will have an effect on your page rank.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is why it’s important to choose a fast hosting company when starting your new website. Not only will fast hosting have an impact on your page rankings, it will also give your visitors a better experience and they are less likely to click back to the the search results page in frustration.</p>
