Are you conducting your very own seo keyword research? Are you completely sure that the steps you are following in your research is effective or after all those months of testing, your website is still in no better shape in the search results? I would like to share with you how I do my own keyword research. You may or may not already be doing these steps but it is definitely worth your time to read this article.

The first thing that I usually do is to have a full grasp of what my website is all about. Sounds simple, right? It isn’t and that’s where most people commit mistakes early on. It’s because they cannot pinpoint or zero in on the specific topic that the website is tackling. Is your website about making money online or is it about blogging for money? While both makes you earn money through the internet, they are not the same thing. The blogging for money site is more focused on its topic compared to the first one. That is why before you even begin to conduct your keyword research you must first know what it is you are offering to the world.

After that what I would do is to open up the tool that I would use for my keyword research. For this I usually utilize the free keyword research tool that Google provides us. Of course you can use any other keyword tool as there are many such tools, both proprietary and free. However, if you ask me it is better to use just one tool, or two at the most, when conducting your keyword research. This is because it will simply the whole process for you and you will not have to evaluate a great amount of information. And I only deal with long tail keywords as the broad keywords are often harder to compete in.

I’m not sure about you but I only look at the monthly search volume in selecting my keywords. I select those with a good amount of searches, let’s say just a few thousands, and see if there are a lot of competitions for that keyword. If the search results gave just a few sites, then I save that keyword, marking it as a potential keyword.

Now if I am doing my search engine optimizing for just one website, I make sure that there is only one theme or topic for it. I also apply that thought to my keyword research as it will be the main factor in my site’s optimization. With just one theme, your seo campaign will be laser-focused and it will be easier for Google and the other search engines to rank your website properly.

So how many keywords do I usually get? It depends on how many pages my website contains. This is because I make it a policy to use just one or two keywords per page. Again this has something to do with ensuring that my website is focused.

These are just some of the tips that you can follow for your keyword research for seo. It is a safe and effective process that can help you quickly collect the right keywords for your website. Just always remember to work within just one theme and your seo campaign will be all sound and good.
