Keyword Tool For Research

What are keywords?

Keywords are those words used in your article that people are likely to search for. For instance, if you write about dogs and maybe dog collars or leashes or even training, then "dog training", "dog collars" and "dog leashes" might be keywords in that article. This means that if someone is searching for information on dog training or accessories, your site or article might appear in the search results. Now whether it appears at all or whether appears far enough up the results for anyone to see it and click on it depends on a lot of things, such as how well ranked your site is.

What Keywords To Use?

The keyword you choose may get LOTS and LOTS of searches every month, for instance, "dog training" gets over 40,000 searches every month in the USA! But every dog related site and article out there may well have that keyword somewhere on the page and many or all of the pages may get ranked above you. You can improve your chances of getting ranked by drilling down into that area and finding a niche that you can rank for and by looking for keywords or phrases that get a lot of searches but which don't have as much competition.

Getting Your Niche

Dog training is a very broad area. It might include house training or potty training, obedience, training by breed, even the use of a crate. And you can drill down further into those areas too, rather like writing articles here on PP, that cover different parts of the same area, like filling in jigsaw puzzle pieces. For instance, the keyword phrase "German Shepherd Training" has over 5,000 searches a month in the USA but would be a lot easier to rank for than just "dog training". And "dog boarding" might be even easier to rank for and it has over 27,000 searches monthly in the USA. In fact there is a keyword phrase that gets over 14,000 searches a month in the USA but which would be VERY easy to rank for and that's "Barking Dog".
