The words that web surfers use in search engines to find matching web pages are called Keywords. A website gets good page rankings with popular keywords related to the theme of that site.
Targeted keywords or keyword phrases are usually the words used by the visitors or web surfers to get their desired information. While searching for specific information, the keywords or keyword phrases will generate specific information by displaying webpages that are thematically relevant to those keywords or keyword phrases used by the visitors. Hence, the presence of these keywords or keyword phrases makes a webpage uniquely different from the other webpages in that website.
Specific keywords are vital to generate targeted web traffic and boost the sales of products or services offered by a website which is the ultimate aim of any webmaster. Keyword must not be too broad or too general. A keyword consisting of one word is ‘single word keyword’ and keywords having more than one word are ‘keyword phrases’.
Features of Keywords:
1. Specific Keywords
Relevant and targeted keywords are a vital part of online marketing campaigning. Every keyword that is used should bear some value regarding the theme of that website.
2. No Highly Competitive Keyword
Keywords should not be so specific that hardly any web surfer would search for it in search engines. A generic keyword leads to a competition with millions of other WebPages on search engines.
3. Keyword Phrases
The keyword phrases consist of three and four words are effective in search engines. Single word keyword cannot have an affective promotion. Single word keyword may give millions of search result while keyword phrase can make the search more specific. For example, “Cream” can get you high volume of traffic but most of them won’t be the targeted and hence, won’t convert into buyers. Whereas, if you use keyword phrases such as “Wrinkle Free Cream”, it brings you specific and targeted traffic and the likelihood of converting them into potential buyers goes up.
