  30. Strategic Keyword Analysis • Given the millions of documents indexed in the Web and possible ways to interpret a single keyword can be misleading. • Most people use phrases of 2 to 4 words when searching. • People have learned that just typing in one keyword in a search will get them thousands of records they might not need. • Therefore, they combine two or three keywords in their searches.

  31. Too broad- Keywords characterized by this trait are words or phrases that offer a too wide variety of search results. Too specific- Keywords are so specific that very few, if any, visitors use them. Wrong Audience- Keywords that do not properly represent a product and/or service will attract non-relevant visitors. Strategic Keyword Analysis Choosing the wrong Keywords can be devastating!

  42. Link Popularity Building The search engines and those that program the search engine algorithms are not stupid. They are used to search engine spammers trying to cheat their way into getting a high ranking. Because of this, the search engines are not just looking for the number of links that point to a site. The most important is the quality of those links . It is important to understand that all links are not created equal. The search engines evaluate the incoming links on various parameters to determine the value of each site linking to you.

  43. Some important aspects search engines evaluate are: Link Popularity Building • PageRank of the linking webpage • total outgoing links on the linking webpage • industry relevance of the linking website • page relevance • keywords in anchor text • Reciprocal or one-way link • IP Classes of the 2 linked domains

  44. Sites are constantly being added to and dropped from the index Your competition changes their strategy and search engine optimization efforts, bumping them higher up in the rankings Search engines change their algorithms, causing everyone to shift in rank. Monitoring and Maintenance Finally, rankings will constantly change due to the following; “It is important to keep an eye out for these changes and react to them.”
