Keyword Selection Tips
Generally 1 to 2 primary and 2 to 3 secondary keyword phrases are enough. Choosing the right keyword and phrases for your website is an important part of your SEO compaign and here we go:
Overlapping Keyword Phrases
It makes sense to optimize the same page for keyword phrases that share some of the same keywords. A page that ranks well for ‘search engine optimization’ should easily be able to rank well for ‘professional search engine optimization’ or ‘search engine optimization services’.
Only use a few keyword phrases per page
Shorter and smarter ones really hits well. A web page optimized for too many keywords sounds to be robot created. Search engines are smart enough to detect them and such pages can only get eye balls from visitors. A web page can lose its focus with more keyword density.
Misspelled Keywords
Wrong is right sometimes. It seems a bit awkward using misspelled keywords in your body copy or page but it really works. Looks unprofessional but misspelled alternatives of keyword lend a hand targeting frequently used search terms.
Capitalized Keywords
It’s a major misconception among the webmasters as most of the search engines are not case sensitive. INDIA is treated same as ‘India’.
Hyphenated Keywords
Hyphens are treated as a space by all the major search engines. If a word id split in to two via a hyphen, check for the most commonly used version. Optimizing your web page for the most searched keyword can be a better idea.
Localized Keyword Research
It can be termed as the most important factor while selecting appropriate keywords. People use different terminology in different countries. In the U.S., People look for ‘taxicabs’ while in India ‘Car hire’ is the more popular term. Make sure exploring the most common words used to describe the products or services, you are promoting in a specific part of word.
Plural Keyword Versions
Again it recommended that you optimize for the common version of your popular keywords. Search engines results for singular and plural search phrases are different, though some of them are using stemming.

Keyword Selection is a Balancing Act
Search terms are typically general enough to be something that is frequently searched for. These frequent changes vary depending upon the industry and the value of the leads generated. The power of keywords lies in targeting them specifically. The quantity of traffic you get is not merely enough; traffic should lead towards better conversion rates. It’s really hard to rank with a single generic term. Use your home page to target your primary keyword and use the other pages to target other secondary keyword phrases. The keyword phrases targeted on each page should also be terms that describe the content of that page and terms that are likely to yield conversions.
