Effective Use Of Keywords For Search Engines
Choosing Keywords For Search Engine Optimization
Hi Folks
Choosing your primary keywords may be one of the most difficult parts of good SEO. It is however, one of the most important. When you begin optimizing your website for search engines, you will need to choose one primary keyword or keyword phrase, and four to six secondary keywords.
These keywords are going to be essential later on. You won't just use them for a single page on your website. Instead, they should feature prominently on each page of your website, or anywhere else you submit your articles. SEO isn't just for website content folks.

With that in mind, look for keywords that will stand the test of time. Avoid keywords that are too general; you want targeted keywords for a targeted audience.
Your secondary keywords can be more flexible than your primary keyword or keyword phrase. Pick the words you believe people are most likely to use when searching for your product or information. You should ideally have between four and six secondary keywords, but don't overdo it as too many will end up diluting the importance of any of your keywords.
Look for a mix of general and specific secondary keywords. Better yet, make one or two of them keyphrases that blend the specifics of words together with the generalness of each individual word.
Once you have your keywords, don't limit them to just your website. Use your primary keyword phrase every time you link to your website. The right keywords, used in the right way, can be invaluable.
I hope you found this information useful and please do leave a comment below if you have your own opinion of the where and when and how to of using keywords.
Have a great week and be successful.

We have had snow in our Highlands for a couple of months now and the grass round where I live was white first thing this morning.
The forecast for the coming week is cold and windy so best look out the scarf and gloves.
Take Care.
