Technorati Profile

Type of Keywords used by genuine buyers

There are two types of keywords used by genuine buyers, depending upon their informed or uninformed situation at the time of using the search engines. We can also classify these two types of buyers as, uninformed buyers and an informed buyers.

Keywords used by an uninformed buyer

Always remember that people who are looking to buy Machinery Equipments for the first time are not experts, and possibly are not aware of the technical nomenclature at the start of their buying process.

E.g. Pulverizer is the technical name of a type of crushing machine. People who generally buy this machine from the market start researching for machines asking the following “We need coconut crushing machine”. So possibly these people may start querying the search engines with terms like “coconut crushers”, “coconut crushing tool”, “coconut crushing machines” etc., to get to their required products.

Keywords used by informed buyer

An informed buyer is some one who has been delegated with procurement responsibility for the company, and some one who has in-depth knowledge about the product. These people have specialized knowledge about the product they are trying to buy. These people will always query the search engines using terms, “pulverizer manufactures”, “90mm pulverizers” etc., which are the exact scientific terminologies with minute details about the product.

Keyword Research

Keyword Fingerprinting

Keyword Fingerprinting (KF) or understanding the visitor search pattern by researching the web logs is the best technique to find the actual keywords those people have typed to come to your website using the search engines. After closely watching the KF we come to know that a buyer types almost anything that’s logical to their understanding to get to a relevant website. We after a close study conclude that it’s extremely tough to actually assume that visitors will type only in a particular pattern. Though all the important search engines are known to suggest visitors to use a pattern.

Find Keywords using Competitor’s Websites

Finding keyword phrases from the competitor’s website is the first steps towards keyword research that many of the Search Engine Marketers have known to adopt. But, using this method after closely analyzing the KF gives much more detailed information about the keyword pattern that visitors could adopt.

Find Keywords using Keyword Tools

There are many keyword tools those are available in the market which one should consider using. These keyword tools collect search pattern from various search engines that provide specialized searches those are not available using the parent search engine. Crawlers are search engines those provide the visitors with search results from various different search engines. These searches are then used by the keyword tools to provide the search marketers with keywords search pattern along with the following important data

1. Total Search Count per month
2. Total Competition
3. KEI (Keyword Effective Index)

Things to remember when doing a keyword research

1. Closely watch the website logs for keyword pattern
2. Closely watch the keywords used by the competitor websites
3. Get new keyword by brainstorming
4. Search Engine Suggest visitors Keywords. This has to be addressed during the keyword research
5. Singulars and plurals yield different results

Content planning using the keyword

1. Never stuff keywords at the content
2. Evenly plan the content.
3. Keep information as precise as possible
4. Research as many applications as possible

Use CSS

Yes Using CSS file you can make a website look the way you want to. “Cool”, yes websites do look extremely cool when you know to implement Cascading Style Sheets properly. There are even Aural Style Sheets those allow you to format voice to your webpages when used with Browsers those are Voice Enabled.

Reasons you should format a web page using a different document

• Increases re-usability, once you have created a style sheet, you just need to call that in all the pages you plan to create.
• Highly reduces the document size. This is essential in SEO (Search Engine Optimization), as the search engines will only need to save a small sized document.
• Highly improves download time.
• The look and feel of the website is immeadiately changed, with just changing the details presented in the CSS document.
• Your HTML page since it has been created using a clean HTML document, you need not worry about re-creating a separate document for your modern, upcoming Hand held devices those are internet enabled.
• You need not worry about changing the document for any newer technology as this type of making website is a standard. The newer technology has to on the other hand think of using your standard pages.
• This is a cost effective solution. As you need not worry about making any modifications in the future

There could be many more reasons those one can address with the benefits of using a Standard procedure for making the websites. I understand the above points addresses the importance of using a CSS file. Use CSS and make your website both Search Engine and User friendly.

But, Optimizing the pages for a search engine to read and analyize is a must, without which, your Page no matter written by the best writer in the world may go unseen.

Some of the key points when Search Engine Optimizing webpage Content.

1. Keep the text in the Title tag and H1 100% same.
2. Title within 65 characters with spaces is the Ideal length for a title tag.
3. Add a proper description in your Description Meta Tag
4. Description with 110 characters with spaces is Ideal length for a description meta tag.
5. Always perform a quick keyword research before publishing your content
6. Do not try to add keywords to your text in just for the sake of ranking high in the Search Engine
7. Research a bit and add key points about the topic you are considering

Stick to ethics, do write eye catching points that will keep your visitor engaged. If you can find something HOT, do mention it.
