Keywords
& key-phrases
A keyword is the text entered by a
user into a particular search engine or directory in order to find
desired, relevant information. A key-phrase is a combination of
words, such as ‘marketing strategy book’.
With so many people using
search engines, the identification and selection of the right keywords
and key-phrases is one of the most important and critical steps
in implementing effective Search Engine Optimisation. It can have
the biggest impact on listings and rankings for yielding maximum
results and the best return on investment for the site.
It is therefore no surprise
that SEO professionals and search engine marketing firms spend a
considerable amount of time determining which keywords are most
relevant to a company’s target market.
