Understanding Keyword Optimization

Once you’ve found that perfect little niche, you’re ready to let the world in on your secret. Hmmmm. Now at this point, you might be asking yourself, ‘Where do I start?’  How many of you have put your exact website name into Google search and it came up number 1? Alright, very good you’re thinking. Now search for keywords that other people might use to find what your site offers. What? You can’t find your sight in Google. Try Yahoo. Same thing? AHHHH, Mother of God! What’s going on!!!?? I can’t find my site anywhere. Well, there’s alot going on, actually, but titles and keywords are what we want to focus on. First and foremost, if you’re building a blog, grab a free WordPress blog. Google loves WordPress! With wordPress you can go two different routes. You can use WordPress.com but your URL will have ‘wordpress’ in it and will look like this, www.yourdomainname.wordpress.com  or you can do what 100% of all successful professionals do and obtain a webhost, (HostGator is 100% recommended by the green community) then create a domain name at GoDaddy.com and host that name through your webhost. Now you have a serious, professional looking site right off the bat. You still utilize the awesome WordPress blogs, but now instead WordPress.com you’re going to be using WordPress.org. Once you’ve set your blog up through WordPress and you’re writing your posts, each post will have its own title and keywords associated with it. It is these keywords and titles that google and the other major search engines look for in your site when a search is performed on the topic of your blog.
