Why Concentrating On A Few Keywords Makes More Sense Than Chasing Them All

With so many search variations, terms and words to go for in the search engines, it is amazing how many people still want to try and get everything rather than going for the ones that will offer the most immediate and rewarding return on investment. Unless you have a massive budget or a lot of spare time, chasing many keywords or key phrases is just not going to be productive, whereas going for the most important ones makes far more sense.
Many business and firms offer more than just one service in today’s modern world, with diversification often being the only choice that many have to make just to survive. Even if your business does only concentrate on one service or product, there is still going to be a variation in the ways that people are going to find you, as it is important to remember that not everyone searches in the same way when it comes to the World Wide Web.
When it comes to SEO and concentrating on getting higher traffic and more conversions, you have to try and identify the keywords that are going to be most rewarding for you and your business.
It is vital that you undertake keyword research and start to get information about how people are going to search for your service and your product. You then also need to add your own thoughts to the mix, maybe concentrating on locations or specific services. One of the most common mistakes when it comes to SEO is to simply go and chase 20 – 30 keywords, thinking that the quicker you get higher for all of them, then the more successful you will be.
Of course, if you did achieve higher rankings for all 30 keywords then you would be well away, but the chances of this happening are slim to say the least. Therefore, it is crucial that you really work out not only what you want to be top for, but to also work out what keywords and phrases are going to deliver the best returns, as quite often, you will be surprised that what you want to be top for is not always the best ROI in terms of keywords.
When looking at the keywords, you need to consider:
Traffic – Just because you think you should be top of the search engines for certain keywords, this does not mean that you are going to be bombarded with extra traffic, unless you see how much traffic these keywords attract in the first place. A major mistake for many is not checking the level of traffic a keyword attracts before really going for it, because if you spend your time and efforts getting top for a low volume keyword, then you really will be wasting your time.
Potential ROI – If you had a list of five keywords you wanted to get high for, yet when you managed to get a load of sales or bookings for these services and they offered you the lowest ROI, would it really be worthwhile? Just because you think they are the easiest keywords to get highest for, you really have to weigh up whether focusing your time on them is going to be worthwhile, because quite often the harder keywords are the more profitable.
We are not saying do not chase keywords, but what we are saying is to identify the keywords or phrases that are going to be the most rewarding for you if you manage to achieve them. Just because you search for things in a particular way, not everyone else will, so always make sure you look at the traffic volume and the alternative search terms before coming up with a list of keywords to go for.
Once you have this list you need to then identify the ones that are going to be the most rewarding for you and start to go for these. If you find any easier ones then you can always get these sorted as time goes on, but it’s much better to rank for things that will deliver you traffic and ultimately sales or bookings rather than just be top of everything for the glory of being there.

Search Plus Your World – What Will It Mean For You?

Search Plus Your World will be rolled out in the UK probably within the next few weeks, with this update looking like one of the biggest search changes that we will have seen for some time. With many people already being able to use Search Plus Your World globally, the jury is now well and truly out about whether this is a search enhancement or whether it is a sign of Google trying to dictate what we see in our results.
With Twitter and a few other sites getting a little bit upset to say the least about the changes, Google has strongly defended the new feature, but there are many people who are still unsure about whether this change is a feature worth having and using or if it just going to be a bit too much to handle over the next few months.
So, what is Search Plus Your World?
Search Plus Your World is simply a personalisation of your search results, which in all fairness, you can choose to have or choose to use the “old” search system (or will be able to soon).
When you search for something with Search Plus Your World, it will start to bring in results from people on your Google+ network, business pages, profiles and photos, meaning that the things your friends publish and talk about could soon start forming part of your search results.
But, it is not just your friends whose content you will see. The new search will bring in related information from the whole of the Google+ users (if they have permitted sharing), whether you are friends with them or not, which means that if someone has posted a picture of themselves at the local football match and you look for the match report, you could well end up seeing the photo as part of your results, plus their discussion on the game as well.
Although we are yet to see the full changes in the UK, we are looking forward to seeing how this new and more personalised search could work from a personal point of view, but also to see how it affects SEO methods and whether there will be a knee jerk reaction from the online webmaster world to try and take advantage of this new system.
