Finding the good keywords

barryhynd · 18-04-08, 17:44

Keywords is an area I really struggle with. Can any body give me a process for checking and idnetifying good ones. I know there's things like Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery but i'd love to see some sort of excel approach to identifying them and then funnelling it until you get to the best 20-30.

Hopefully some of you will have come accross what i'm looking for

2 of the best handy tools are:

hey scott,

that second google tool is really useful, i've never come across that one before.

I struggle as well to find good keywords and that is certainly useful for inspiration.

Thanks for thos

That's an excellent tool. I'll need to revise my keywords.

TomB · 22-04-08, 13:52

me too, i have just realised as well that i've made such a stupid mistake

I recently gave my website a make over and i managed to replace all my keywords for each page with the same ones

So i now need to go off and try and remember what i had before.

I bet google penalise me for it as well,

i was on page 3 for web design edinburgh, and now i've fallen to page 7 ,

me no happy

I think SEO is akin to voodoo. Give me word of mouth any time!!

LOL

It does seem that way but you can go into it as much depth as you want.

This thread has just given me the kick up the *rse I needed to get my keywords done.

I have had over 8 million visitors in the last 12 months to a website of mine due to organic SEO so it certainly has it's uses.
