Optimizing
Wrong Keyword or Phrase for Right Website with all Your Efforts
By Asif Iqbal
Keywords are gateways through which your website is going to be
visited from search engines users, those visitors can be filtered
by keywords. Every single keyword or phrase has its target audience,
in fact you can evaluate your visitors through keywords such as
your visitor’s mind set, psychology, type, age group, interest
and intension. If you have selected wrong keywords for your website,
it could hurt your eBusiness badly.
What is a Keyword or Phrase?
A keyword or phrase is a single or group of words which is used
to construct a search statement to find information by search engine
users. It was popularized during the early days of search engine
development, as it was not possible to ask natural language questions
and find the desired sites.
Keywords are Gateway of Your eBusiness!
It really doesn’t matter how good your SEO Practices are?
Or how good your SEO Strategy is? If you are failed to get right
kind of traffic at your website. Keywords are the gateway for any
website on internet, and with wrong keywords success can never be
achieved.
Wrong Keyword or Phrase
There can be many definitions of wrong keywords, such as a wrong
keyword or phrase is a keyword or phrase which is irrelevant with
services or products of website, which has poor conversion of visitors
into paying customers, and which is failed to bring targeted and
focused traffic to website.
Wrong Keywords are not Bad Keywords
Wrong keywords are invaluable keywords for any website, they don’t
have any worth for website, whereas bad keywords are those which
are not searched or hardly searched by search engine users.
Why Waste Quality Time on Wrong Keywords?
Selecting wrong keyword or phrase is the biggest mistake for any
SEO campaign, even if you have achieved top ranking on those wrong
keywords, it will be waste of your energy and efforts. All your
efforts are going to lead you no where if you have a wrong direction,
keywords set directions for your efforts, selecting them in quick
time will end up giving you nothing. Time is the real money, keywords
can be updated anytime but what to do with the time spent on promoting
wrong keywords, it’s just wasted. One can get frustrated if
doesn’t have desirable results specially in the initial stage
for any website, that’s why it doesn’t matter how much
time you spent on selecting keywords but make sure that you select
the best keywords.
Why Wrong Keywords are selected?
Majority of wrong keywords have good search counts, because they
are comparatively search better than specific keywords, that’s
why they get selected sometimes by website owner or by SEOs. But
results come up after the first quarter or session when they failed
to boast sales or right kind of traffic. It’s not the traffic
that makes a keyword or phrase wrong it’s the conversion that
makes it wrong.
Keywords Lead Your Website to Success!
These are the keywords which lead your website a successful eBusiness
or eCommerce business, they can lead you to hell too, you have to
be very careful selecting them, after all you or your assigned marketers
are going to put their all efforts to bring your website on top
of those keywords.
Specific and Focused Keywords will pay you!
Why get crazy of traffic and ask for everything, for example if
you provide search engine optimization services then you should
select keywords like “seo services, search engine optimization
services, seo outsourcing, seo outsourcing”. And you should
avoid selecting keywords like “seo or search engine optimizer”,
because people typing “seo or search engine optimizer”
may be searching for freelance seo or searching for definition of
seo and won’t be interested in your services, they will come
to your website and go without making any purchase.
