Keyword Tutorial #2 - INS
 

We now try to focus the keywords into a top 20 that we really want to go after in our site.  As a result, we eliminate the words that are not such a good targeting match for us.  We keep records of all lists as once our site copy is done, we can write pages specifically for the pay per click search engines.

We were still left with over 60 keyword phrases.  Now we want to pick the most searched phrases to use as our keywords in the "Free" search Engines, and we will use a different strategy for the Pay Per click search engines based more on traffic wanted and budget. 

By using Goto.com's search suggestion tool, we were able to determine the most searched keywords.  We have added them to the list below along with how many goto searches happened on that keyword, and the bid for 1st place, 3rd place and minimum last place on page one.  We are really trying to target the consulting world, and avoid all the Internet promotion schemes so we have taken out some of the more popular keywords as getting a ranking on any of those would be very difficult and time consuming.  We prefer a pay per click strategy extremely targeted to the people looking for consulting.

OUr chosen 22 keywords for the FREE search engines and to optimize our main index page to are:

Now, we believe in targeting your audience.  You don't need all the customers, just the ones interested in your product or service.  We went heavy on the consulting word, as we think it will turn off a lot of the tire kickers as they will think we are too expensive.  This is what we want. 
We would rather 200 people visit our website, and 198 sign up for our newsletter and 50% buy our product, than 50,000 people visit our website and only get 198 to sign up for our newsletter and 100 to buy our product.  In the pay per click search engines you can highly target your traffic, and pick your placement based upon your bid.
