Finding The Right Keywords To Drive Traffic to Your Site
As the Web continues to grow, users (including Canadians) are looking
online for information, goods and services in greater numbers than
ever before. Research says that anywhere from 50 to 85 percent of
users find Web pages through search engines. Therefore you really
need to optimize your site for search engines.
There are a number of things you can do to optimize it (see Sue
Studios' article, Improving
Search Engine Placements with Content). This article will deal
with keywords – something that confuses many of us.
Keywords are crucial because it's the keywords that bring traffic
to your site when users type them into a search box. There are a
number of things to consider when choosing the keywords that will
be the most effective for you and your business.

Tip Of The Month
Search Engine Tools - continued from last issue

Number of Indexed Pages
Go to just about any search engine and type site:www.yourdomain.com.
The search engine will then tell you how many of your pages
it has indexed. |

Monitor Your Position in Google
No need to waste time clicking through hundreds of Google
search results looking for your site. This tool allows you
to enter a keyword and a domain name, and it searches Google
to see where your domain is positioned. Go to http://www.cleverstat.com/google-monitor-query.htm
to download the setup file. Then just install. |

See How Important Sites Are
The Google Toolbar is an indispensable tool. One of the things
it can tell you is the "importance" of every site
you visit (in Google's eyes at least). You've probably heard
a bit about PageRank or PR. PR is Google's measure of the
importance of a site. Basically, the higher your PR, the higher
your ranking. This tool gives you a snapshot of the PR of
every site you visit. Go to http://toolbar.google.com.

Monitor What Sites are Linking to Yours
Google News Alerts and Google Web Alerts will tell you who's
linking to your site. Simply set up an alert to be notified
when Google finds www.yourdomain.com.
