Keys! . . . keys! . . . keys! . . . keywords! . . . what are these things called 'keywords?' . . .

Is it anything like music notes? . . . or is it some alternative language which we have yet to learn? . . . well, let's talk about it a wee bit! . . . :)

hey hi Wealthy Affiliate members -- for newbies and experienced ones alike!

Fairly often, we get questions as to what the keyword basics mean and the definitions of each.

And sometimes it's good to start or re-start back to the beginning to obtain clarity in our understanding of what some of the related terms and acronyms stand for so that we can work more effectively in building our online presence and biz with the search engines on the internet.

This is just as much as a refresher for me in posting as it may be of assistance for someone, somewhere in this world who is working on this platform.

For reference, here is a 'snap-shot' of the basics used in our awesome WA research tool called Jaaxy, for your information, as well as, a reminder for myself.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Keyword basics:

  • Keyword = the search phrase that the data is representing or being read by the search engines;
  • Avg. = average >> the overall monthly traffic obtained by this search term or keyword around the world;
  • Traffic = the estimated amount of traffic you will get IF you were to rank on the first page of Google under this particular key word;
  • QSR = QUOTED SEARCH RESULTS >> this shows the exact number of competing results in Google that your phrase is lined up against OR, in other words, this is how much competition your selected keyword would have if you decided to use it;
  • KQI = Keyword Quality Indicator is like a traffic light with Green for GO, Amber for OK, and Red for Stop -- that's just to help you to remember KQI more easily! ... lol ... *(Actually, the Green = Great, Amber = Normal, Red = Poor Quality (not recommended for use).

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Well, folks, that pretty much sums it up for now.

Here's to the best of results with your Keyword Basics and in finding the most fantastic keywords for ranking with the fussed search engines!

Time now for a coffee break! . . . please do enjoy a cuppa while one muses! . . .


Appreciate YOU ALL for being here!

Thanks kindly for reading, studying, listening & enjoying it all here!





Enjoy a fabulous Friday and enjoy a wonderful weekend ahead!

That lesson was so on time. Just when I think I understand keywords then maybe I really don't. I use jaaxy for the low hanging keywords. Not getting visitors. Do you use jaaxy and something else?

hi Patti --- good to see you here today! ... and sometimes it is helpful to get back to basics for clarity and understanding ......

Glad you've enjoyed this post and found it helpful .... yes, Jaaxy is very helpful when i use it .... and other times, i simply write / blog for the joy of it! .... it flows better for me! ....

as for getting more visitors, it depends upon a number of factors, like for instance, how long has your website been around? ... the longer the better according to search engines .... how many posts have you published on it? ... how often do you post? ... quality content over time works! .... remember it does take time to scale your biz ...
