Are Your Keywords Too Broad?Posted by: J_Mart on 16th June 2008If you’re having trouble getting a good ranking in Google for your search terms, then you may want to re-think the keywords you’re going for. Broader search terms are usually harder to rank high for, because their is usually so much competition for general terms. For instance, if you have an online arcade, it’s going to be pretty much impossible to get on page 1 of Google for the keywords “Free Online Arcade”, because of so much competition. If you want to get search engine traffic, then you’ll want to use more specific keywords. Just try different terms, and experiment with it. Be creative. You never know if something is going to work until your try it. Ranking high for specific terms has always proven to be effective for me. It may not work for everyone, but the purpose of this blog is to help webmaster’s and for me to share my experience with you. Keep It New. Keep It Fresh. Keep It Comin’!Posted by: J_Mart on 15th June 2008I have no idea why, but this morning I woke up at 5:00 and could not go back to sleep. While I was laying their, I got the whole idea for this article. So, I hope you like it, because I got up and wrote this at 5:00 this morning. Do you want to rank higher and Google, but don’t really know exactly how to do it with a low budget? This one is simply and free. All you have to do is update your content. Updating your websites content is one of the most keys keys to ranking higher in Google searches. Google’s spiders are constantly on the look-out for new, fresh content, and whenever you update your page, they’ll notice it and re-rank you for your search terms. Now, updated content alone isn’t going to get you higher rankings. Consistency is just as important as new and fresh content. If you aren’t consistent with updating your websites content, then your rankings will drop back down. Getting higher rankings takes time, and won’t happen over night. You just have to be patient and keep working, because the hard work will definitely pay off down the road. |
