What keywords Am I Looking For?
You are looking for keywords that are directly related to your website.
You are looking for keywords that are in demand, as in people actually are searching for them.
You are looking for higher volume of exact searches but with less competition. These are easier to rank for.
No SEO Expert and a Bunch of Keywords – What Now?
Write articles on your blog or website that contain these keywords. This is called Onpage SEO. I like to follow a SEO checklist to keep me on track, but after a while it simply becomes a habit. You probably know the drill. A keyword in your title, description, tags, amongst the content and in sub headings. This is still needed to show humans and search engines what your content is about.
Once you have a great article that has been optimized on the page, you can now link back to it. You can do this by guest posting on respectable sites, submitting an article to Ezine articles (yes it still works), or maybe you can create fantastic content that people naturally link back to. I also have a few free blogger blogs that I post articles to for backlinking.
Now do you think you still need a SEO expert to help you? I don’t think so!
Not only that, this type of SEO does not cost you a cent!
I have articles that get thousands of visits per month each and these have all been optimized for the search engines. The articles that are not optimized are crying out for my attention.
