Search Engines – Keyword Research

Search Engines

Keyword Research for SEO is the art of finding the most relevant, traffic-driving keywords and keyword phrases for organic search engine optimization. You have several choices when it comes to researching the best keywords to use in your search engine marketing and advertising campaigns.

You can use free research tools that are usually very limited, you can use the google adwords keyword tool that few seo companies even understand, you can throw your money away on keyword research tools and software, or you can do what I have done for years.

Let others do your keyword research for you! The process I use is so simple that it will really surprise some of my readers. I will show you what I do in the following example. If you follow this seo tip you can throw all those expensive and useless keyword tools away.

In this example I am going to use the keyword phrase, “keyword research.”

Go to Bing Search Engine and do a search for the exact key phrase which is keyword research.

Copy and paste into notepad every one of the titles for the websites listed on page one and two.

Study the keywords and keyword phrases in the list of titles, this will show you the terms that these researchers have found to be most successful over years of trial and error.

Do the same thing we did with the Bing results, you end up with the following list:

Finding the best keywords is just that easy, why throw your money away on keyword research software? Why spend hour after hour doing keyword research when all the seo pros have already done the work for you?
