Hello All, I've noticed that the Keyword Tool put quotes around keyword searches which drastically reduces the number of competing sites (as people rarely put quotes around their g

Good question I would also like to know

The quote marks force the tool to search for a specific term. They may be used around a stop word (a word such as "the" which would normally be ignored) or a phrase.

This causes the tool to search for an exact match of the words, which is what you want. Without the quote marks, you would get results that include sites that have the words somewhere in the content but not in order or even close to each other.

So, the quote marks make the competition number more accurate.

Hmm. Thanks for the response Allyn. But is that really a good way of determining how competitive a set of keywords are since real people won't be using quotes?

Great explanation.

I guess the answer to that question is how you look at it. I understand what you are asking.

It is a good way to determine the true competition for a given keyword, however, when someone enters it in Google and doesn't use quotes, they will see a lot more websites, including all those that don't really use the phrase exactly.

If you use the phrase as a keyword, you will generally be ranked higher than those that don't. There are a number of other factors involved in SEO ranking, however, including the maturity of your site, the following that you have, etc.

That makes a ton of sense. Thanks Allyn, I really appreciate the help :)

Does anyone know how to change the Heiro theme header (black w/ the name of the site) to an uploaded image? Thanks so much in advance :)

It's usually in Appearances > Theme Options or General Options

Or it may be a widget. Check Appearances > Widgets and see if you have one called "Header". Or it might be called "Logo" instead of Header.

You would have to upload the image from your computer to the media library, then copy the image URL into the field provided in the theme's header/logo section.

I'm not familiar with Heiro, so I hope someone who is comes along and helps you if the above info is not sufficient. Or you can try the theme's support forum here:

Thanks so much Jude! I'll give that a shot tomorrow :)
