Google Search Statistics
One of the difficult things to understand about ranking high in the search engines is getting good, solid and reliable data about Google search statistics. In other words, to know which keywords to target takes a lot of research and analysis.
That leads to understanding the basic types of data that need to be analyzed in order to make informed decisions on which keyword phrases to target. Most internet marketers do very little research and just write articles on what they believe to be important and basically guess at which keywords to target.
Unfortunately, this often leads to a lot of work that does not return a corresponding amount of success, because the keyword terms that are targeted are nothing really except “guesses” on what the best terms are. To be successful in internet marketing there needs to be a lot more work around understanding how to select keywords to target and understand what a “good” keyword really means.
So what is the definition of a “good” keyword? There are several attributes that you must consider, including the following:
- how much daily / weekly / traffic the keyword provides in organic searches
- how many competing sites there are with the same keyword phrase
- how many other sites are specifically targeting the keyword with the phrase in the title tags, header tags, URL, etc.
- how high the keyword is valued by pay per click advertisers
That all sounds well and good, but how is it possible to find all this information in a timely manner. Well, the good news is that there are good choices for an SEO keywords tool that provide the toolsets to properly analyze and research your market. And while there are multiple options, there is one that stands above the crowd.
And that product is called Market Samurai. While typically positioned as a keyword tool, it provides much more than that. You can sign up for a free version of Market Samurai to learn other features that it provides and along the way get some very good training on search engine marketing in general and keyword selection specifically.
Understanding Google search statistics for the keywords you want to target is the first step in getting your website better positioned in the search engines.
