Going back to brand keywords for a moment, if you don’t use the keywords contained in your business
name, business description, and specific category of business, you’re missing out. It seems as if
it wouldn’t be necessary to use these keywords, because they’re already associated with your site, but
if you don’t own them, who will? And if someone else owns them, how will they use those keywords
to direct traffic away from your site?
Before we go too much further in this description of keywords and how to choose the right one,
you should know that keywords fall into two other categories: those keywords you pay a fee to
use (called pay-per-click), and those naturally occurring keywords that just seem to work for you
without the need to pay someone to ensure they appear in search results (these are called organic
keywords).
When you think about purchasing keywords, these fall into the pay-per-click category. When you
stumble upon a keyword that works, that falls into the organic category.
When you begin considering the keywords that you’ll use on your site, the best place to start brainstorming
is with keywords that apply to your business. Every business has its own set of buzzwords
that people think about when they think about that business or the products or services related to
the business. Start your brainstorming session with words and phrases that are broad in scope, but
may not bring great search results. Then narrow down your selections to more specific words and
phrases, which will bring highly targeted traffic.
