Choosing Focus Keywords
So, how do you choose a focus keyword with the hopes of being included in the search engines? Here's a technique you can use.
Go to Google, type in your keyword in "quotes" (also known as exact match). Let's suppose you have a website and you want to get listed for the keyword phrase "Wealthy Affiliate School ". You will see that there are very few indexed pages for this keyword, only 3, to be exact (at the time of writing this).
Choosing focus words with "results" under 5,000 gives you a much better chance of getting a top listing then if the search term has millions of results. Keep this in mind when you are creating your pages with the intent on getting listed in the search engines. The keyword "Make Money" has over 3 million results. Getting a top listing for this focus word is very highly unlikely.
