How To Find The Best Keywords

My keyword research methods are the result of twenty years of SEO research; in this article I will now share the results of my research. By the time you have finished reading this article you are going to clearly see how the very nature of our humanity plays a vital role in how we perform keyword research.

The last time I checked I found that I am a human just like you, this being the case it is fair to say that I and you have a strong tendency to be followers rather than leaders. When it comes to keyword research the majority of us seek and follow advice from those whom we determine are leaders in the Search Engine Optimization Industry.

This may come as a bit of a shock or surprise to some of my fellow Sheep, but the fact of the matter is that many of the SEO Shepherds that you blindly follow are not leading you to greener pastures, they're leading you to your Bank Account! They either want to sell you seo software or keep you coming back to their website to drive up their site popularity. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with paying for the food (SEO Tools) you eat, but there is something wrong when you are convinced that you need something when you do not.

This seo article will be the first of several on the topic of keyword research, this article will focus on "How To Find The Best Keywords." If you really want the real keyword research shortcut, you just found it.

Keyword Research Tools

I have just completed a test of the top keyword research tool, I waited five minutes for the tool to finish and get the list of thousands of possible keyword suggestions I should use in my online campaign. Keep in mind that this is supposed to be some kind of elite keyword tool, the best program money can buy.

The first problem I encountered was the fact that the tool used the google adwords keyword tool to determine the total number of monthly searches for each keyword example the tool gave. This is one of the biggest mistakes made by most of the search engine optimization gurus, the google keyword tool does not, I repeat, does not give you the numbers of total searches performed by users of their search engine. I have written about this issue in great detail in my article online writing, do yourself a big favor and go read it.

The second issue I encountered with this keyword tool is how it selected what it determined to be the best keyword phrases. The program totally ignored the value of using some of the top words that are used by those who use Search Engines. These words are: "Best" "Top" "Forum" "Blog" etc., my list could go on.

After 20 years of experience with this online stuff, I can tell you for a fact that the best keyword research tool will never be found in a computer program.

SEO and Search Engine Optimization

I will sum this all up with one single word, "Reputation." Most seo companies and search engine optimization services still focus the majority of their search engine techniques on ancient and outdated principles that were banned by Google years ago.

One of the biggest reasons it may appear that all these seo forums and blogs are correct is that the majority of website optimizers follow their principles, so in short, you have a mass of online businesses all using the same rules, so it would appear to most that this must be the correct path to take to the top of the seo chain.

The one who does the best job in this group may indeed rise to the top of this group, but the real truth is that there is another group that exists outside of this group that makes the efforts of these optimizers look like child's play.

This other group of people are the true seo elites. Instead of focusing on keyword research and keyword density they spent their days building websites full of simple quality content. All their backlinks came from visitors who loved what they read, these seo elites did not spend their days running around leaving spam links in all the blogs and forums.

My goal in writing this article on keyword research is to simply attempt to get you to consider other options. Don't allow yourself to be hypnotized and magnetized in your ways, never allow yourself to become trapped inside a box just because it feels safe.

I started this section of the article by pointing out the word; reputation, your reputation is well known by Google and all the search engines. If the reputation you have formed is "Just one of the crowd" you will never break free of the average crowd, but if your techniques are unique you will stand out from the average crowd and be rewarded by the search engines.

I stopped relying solely on G's "adwords" kw tool a while ago. the good thing is nowadays, the trends are changing even quicker. Funny, when I see them SEO "1 million visitors per month headline guys" pricing a program for $297 when the method is in the middle of its run and about 12 months later of no use. I think you also wanted to say write popular content for that topic.

Hello ocbill,

It has always amazed me how most people focus their efforts on driving traffic to their sites, if they would just major on their content everything else would follow.

A few years back I had the opportunity to set next to one of the top seo gurus, we sat side by side, he did his thing, all the popular techniques to drive traffic and get listed on Google page one. He pounded away hour after hour writing and submitting articles, running all over the Internet leaving links in forums and blogs, answering tons of questions on Yahoo answers, on and on he went. I simply spent the needed time to write quality content for my sites, when all was said, and all was done, my sites out ranked his several times over. He never got it, he even bought every single seo program available, to no avail. He finally lost everything he had in his efforts to get to page one. He wasn't as smart as these gurus today, had he been a little more clever he would have created another crazy seo tool to sell to people like himself.

Thank you for stopping by KoffeeKlatch. If all these optimizers would ever get this they could cut their work load in half. Quality and unique content will do most of their seo for them. Problem is that many have been hypnotized by the Pied Piper music of all the SEO Services that depend on the SEO's being enslaved to their ridiculous techniques.

Content is King! We hear this all the time and you've definitively driven home this fact. So are you saying you're not for using keyword tools at all? My opinion is that one should not base everything around keyword research -- but strong content combined with good keywords will make the written piece even that much stronger don't you think?

Hello multimastery, thanks for the comment,

My biggest problem is remembering to remind myself that I have been doing this for two decades, I can write content naturally without the aid of any tool whatsoever. I don't need a keyword tool to tell me what my density should be, I don't need a keyword tool to tell me what keyword phrases are best, etc...

My point in this article is to show my readers that the selection of keywords and phrases for any topic has already been done by the masters, all one needs to do is look at what their work reveals. And you usually don't need to go any further than Google page one search.

It took some of these masters years to come up with the best keywords to use, a program will never be able to produce the same results achieved by seo gurus.
