Secret Search Engine Optimization Strategies: How To Turn Keywords Into Conversions
By Derek Gehl
Are you focusing your search engine optimization efforts on getting tons of traffic from the search engines? If you answered yes, then I am about to tell you something completely different from other Marketers. Forget about getting tons of traffic from the search engines. Get LESS traffic that converts MORE! The Secret to Turning Keywords into Conversions is to Keep Your Keywords FocusedFor example, if your site sells an all-natural remedy for acid stomach problems... You start to do your keyword research and you discover that the keyword phrase "natural remedies" has 288 daily searches. But it has over 2,000,000 sites competing for it. While the phrase, "acid reflux natural remedies" has 67 daily searches with just over 11,000 competing sites. Do you want to spend all your time and effort trying to optimize your website for the first keyword phrase? You may get more searches, but you'll never know how many of those searchers want to buy your stomach acid remedy. Not to mention the HUGE number of competitors the keyword has! Or would you go for the second term, which only has 67 people searching for it -- knowing those 67 people are looking for EXACTLY what you offer? And, it has a MUCH lower competition number to boot! Obviously, the second term is better! Sure, you might get less traffic -- but the visitors you DO get will be MUCH more likely to buy your product. Why You Will Make More Money with Less Traffic That Converts MorePeople search the to find a solution to a problem and not necessarily to buy something. So what problems will they solve by coming to your website? Think of a keyword as a "problem statement" that someone would type into the search engines. When you can match your keywords to the exact problems they're trying to solve. You'll attract the BEST visitors to your site so you can focus all your optimization efforts on them! Here are some more keyword research tips that will help you turn keywords into conversions… Top Search Engine Optimization Tips for Finding Highly Focused Keywords That Will Bring the Absolute Best Buyers to Your Website:
- Check your server logs. See what keyword phrases people are actually using to find your site. If there's something relevant that you've overlooked, build a page focused on that keyword phrase.
Also look for keywords that are causing people to leave right away because they're not finding what they're looking for. Ditch those keywords immediately.
- Look for "intention." Say you sell cross-country ski equipment. People can come to your website looking for different things.
For instance:
- They're looking to buy a specific product
- They're looking for product

The legislation would set up a new administrative body that would receive complaints from the music and film industry and track down offenders through Internet service providers. An e-mail warning would be sent to suspected downloaders followed by a registered letter. After two strikes, offenders would risk losing their Internet subscription for up to a year. "We know that we are not going to eradicate piracy 100 percent, but we think that we can reduce it significantly," Albanel told a news conference. Minister of Culture and Communication, Christine Albanel, has made <a href="http://www.ifacca.org/national_agency_news/2008/05/26/albanel-celebrates-french-spirit-responsibility/">the French spirit of responsibility</a> a cornerstone of her portfolio.

The Minister also revealed that the projected mechanism will be useful from the preventative phase, since 90% of French people would stop downloading after two advertisements. This study also shows the adherence of the majority of French people to the defence of the right of the author, without which ‘creation’ would have its existence threatened, against those who support openly the law of the jungle and permissiveness on the Internet.

In contrast to the conventional wisdom that Iranian bloggers are mainly young democrats critical of the regime, we found a wide range of opinions representing religious conservative points of view as well as secular and reform-minded ones, and topics ranging from politics and human rights to poetry, religion, and pop culture. Our research indicates that the Persian blogosphere is indeed a large discussion space of approximately 60,000 routinely updated blogs featuring a rich and varied mix of bloggers. Social network analysis reveals the Iranian blogosphere to be dominated by four major network formations, or poles, with identifiable sub-clusters of bloggers within those poles.

reviews
- They want information on how to get started in cross-country skiing
- They want used or discount equipment
- They want to know what kind of equipment will be best for them
- They want to know what's new and hot in cross-country ski equipment
Same products -- far different intentions!
If you optimize a page (or pages) for each different problem people are trying to solve, you'll give them what they're looking for…
That means they'll stay on your site longer -- and you'll have a better chance of getting them into the sales process.
- Check out your competition. What keywords are your competitors optimizing for, and on what pages?
You can spy on them by going to their websites and looking at their code!
In your web browser, just go to View on the main menu and click on Source or Page Source to "look under the hood" of any competitor's site. Then you can see what they're doing right and what you could do better.
- Find your best keywords with pay-per-click advertising. This is the fastest way to find out just how well different keywords perform.
Pay-per-click lets you run ads based on two or three different keywords at the same time. This enables you can track which ones convert best. Make sure the ads click through to pages that relate directly to the keywords.
Focus your SEO efforts on the specific keywords that describe EXACTLY what problem each page solves. Don't be tempted by more general keywords with higher traffic numbers. They'll never send you the traffic you want. Follow these search engine optimization tips and you will turn keywords into conversions. Article Directory: http://www.articlecube.com About the Author:
