Selecting Good Keywords Is The Crucial Starting Point For creating a new website. Choosing the right keywords or key phrases is of paramount importance and is worth spending some time doing some research on before actually creating the site. This is because the keywords need to be used in the content. Keywords can also determine what domain you buy.

Keywords are the search terms that people type into search engines, eg Google to look for websites. So you need to think like a customer or surfer. What search terms do your potential visitors look for? Write some down, and brainstorm. Then use a tool like the free Google Keyword tool to check how many people are searching for these terms per month: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. It tells you the monthly search volumes.

It is better to choose niche keywords rather than choosing very broad terms that have a lot of competition (ie web pages that are also optimised for those search terms). These niche keywords would need to have enough daily searches. For example, it is better to choose ‘blue sports cars' than just ‘blue cars' and ...
... worse still would be ‘cars' because ‘cars' is too broad and therefore it will be difficult to get high in the search engines. But if you choose something that isn't searched very often, eg 'blue sports cars with leather seats' this will not bring you enough traffic.

As a guideline: 500 - 1000 min. searches per day, and 150,000 competitor sites is ideal for a keyword.

As for how many words you should have a in a keyword phrase, key phrases with 2-3 keywords max are best. Any more and it looks too ‘spammy.'
The keywords will need to be used in the content across the site - this is called keyword density. But not too much, as Google can detect this. There are several sites that will check the density of your site for free - just type in ‘free keyword density tool.'

Keywords are critical to how much traffic you get. If you do article marketing, again, make sure you put keywords in the title, and first line of the article. This can make a big difference.

It is a good idea to keep a list of keywords with numbers of searches and competition. This is valuable information you will refer to as you go on.
