How interesting? Never before had I considered how the search engines work to give us only what they think we want. I always thought they everybody was directed to the same first pages. Aaron had explained once before how Google tries to give us top picks for what Google thinks we want, but I hadn’t carried that thought far enough to realize that maybe in some future day, I will only ever know and learn what someone else thinks I should know or learn. Thanks for the video.

Very thought provoking messages – especially about brain-storming the content FIRST. It may very well be that your training is what I need. You have already given me some advice (about video topics) on the ‘Work at Home’ forum. I will probably be in touch with you again soon.
Best wishes
Tony

All is great! I expecially like the last page being prepared ready committed. I think help in time commitment, how much time I have to invest each day, do I change my content daily, and anything else you do to be growing.

Meta data is simply the information about the page.

Title
Description
Keywords

This information is stored with the web page, and should always be written with the primary keyword in mind so that one particular article is about one main topic and only about one main topic.

In reply to Kent.

Kent,
This is a very good question. You made an accurate assessment. There are two purposes: 1) To find keywords that the public uses and 2) to minimize competition.

Choosing the correct number of hits begins the art. If you are choosing words that have 600,000 hits may mean that the keyword has very high competition. So, we may optimize very well and still not rank high. Older sites may tend to dominate those keywords.

On the other hand, if you pick words with 1000-5000 range, it may take a LOT of keywords to get enough traffic to make a difference.

This is one reason why it is important to continue to build content, each of which emphasizes different keywords. You are looking for keywords with as high searches as possible, but with very few competition pages. That sounds obvious, but the keyword tools help us identify those and then modify the keywords that we choose for our articles.

To answer you question, though, sometimes I can get lucky and find a keyword in the 25,000 range with almost no competition. Grab it. Optimize. Dominate that keyword. But often I am writing several articles, each using fewer keywords search results. It is more important to have many pages with less traffic than be ranked very, very low on a high-search keyword. If I am not listed on the top 10 or at most the top 20 for a keyword, then it is very unlikely that people will find me.

One last comment. Time and consistency brings traffic. Try to dominate where you can, but continuous keyword research will bring search results.

Hello Aaron,
I’m reviewing these important lessons again. As I looked at this a second time I have a question. From what I understand the key objective in keywords is to find words the public is using but at the same time you want to minimize competition to make google throw you higher in the searches especially in google. So do I look for a combination of not-as-much-competition and relatively higher searches. For example. In my adwords, I come up with 500 or so keywords starting at 600,000 hits all the way down. Should I pick keywords in the 25,000 to 60,000 hit range or more like 1,000 – 5,000 hit range? My search was “home security for renters”. Thanks
