1. Research keyword phrases related to your website, or blog that potential visitors will be
looking for related to your site. I use the Google adwords keyword research tool it is free and
it is the best online in my opinion.
2. Think highly searched keyword phrases with low competition. This may require some
research on your part but it will pay off big time when done correctly. Your goal is to find
lucrative phrases that people will type into the major search engines that will lead them to
your site. Make sure the competition is low 500,000 listings or under should be your goal.
* You do not want to go after phrases like make money online if that is your niche that will take
years for you to climb up the rankings for example. Be smart and go after phrases that you
can rank on the first pages for with little effort.
3. Make a list of 4-5 phrases that fit this criteria and optimize your website, or blog with these
keywords. This does not mean stuffing your content with all your keywords so that your
content doesn’t even read properly.
