Basically, there are certain words the search engines consider as related to a specific topic. Want an example?
How about getting a list of theme words straight from the source? Yes, Google has a tool you can use to get a list of the theme words they associate with a topic. Here is the link http://labs.google.com/sets.
Once on the site, take your keyword phrase you want to target and enter each word of your phrase into one of the spaces provided then click "Large List". This will give you a list of around 80 to 100 words that Google expects to see on site relating to your keyword.
Copy and paste these into a text file removing the irrelevant words like "the, and, of" etc. Now, whenever you write articles or posts targeting that keyword you will want to try to use about 15 to 20 of these words. I would recommend doing this exercise for each keyword phrase you are targeting.
What I normally do is write the article, then come back and work these words into it. Using the words on this list will make your writings even more relevant when the spider comes to crawl them.
Bill,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip here. Getting help straight from the horses mouth on what they search on... interesting. I'll have to try these. :)
Thanks Bill. This is such an important SEO writing essential. I'm already using this method - I tend to think in the keywords when writing, then later come back to optimize paragraph by paragraph, like a find and replace style.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your new series.
Thank you both, Bruce and Stella, for your comments. Sadly, this concludes this series for now, but I'm sure we'll be revisiting it again real soon.
