Decide Your Keywords

Keywords

Needless to say, keywords act as landmarks to identify your website in the digital universe. In order to get the best results, to rank your website in search results, you need to decide your keywords. Not just one keyword, but a set of keywords.

Single-word keywords are very effective because they are easy to track. Indeed, this makes them most sought after keywords for SEO. Thus, increasing the competition as there are hundreds of other websites which are either trying to acquire these keywords or already rank for them in a search result.

The key is to look for less competitive keywords. These keywords can be singular, or you can also begin with long term keywords. For example, if your website is about music, then rather than trying to rank for ‘music’, you can try to rank for ‘music blog’ or something even more specific to your services such as ‘music blog and seller in Brampton region’. This will help rank your website more easily and also the turnaround will be quick.

Plus, the links to different pages bring in more referral traffic, as well as brings in the asserted votes for the content on your pages. You need to anchor the keywords in the content for your guest post directing towards a certain page.

As we all know, Google considers the content and the links as priority signals to rank a page in a search result, having a good traffic and authority websites to vouch for your website proves to be highly beneficial
