Keep Competitors From Stealing Your Best Keywords?

Written by Marie on Feb 18th, 2010 | Filed under: All Posts

Optimizing your site using your best keywords in the title tags is an SEO that all good online marketers know about.

Often new beginners who happen to find really good keywords balk at placing their keywords where they are visible to all their competitors.

This is definitely a newbie big mistake.  What they don’t realize is that they can also go and spy on their competitors to “view” their best keywords and strategy too.

Look at it this way.  You give massages with a chair for people that are travelling.  Now when they get ready to receive their massage, your portable chair just happens to be invisible.

You won’t get too many people wanting a massage from you if the prospective client can’t see your chair. Your goal is to have the best, most comfortable chair and then give the best, most relaxing massage to keep them there.

The thing with keywords is you have to use them for search engines to find them.

So how do you dominate your competition?

Content, content, content.

Even if you use all the keyword  optimizing tricks there are, if your content is poor, Google will know it. The Google search engines are being fine tuned and have become so much more sophisticated to identify good content over poor.

So no matter how great the keywords your competitors are using, you can always steal their thunder if your content is better than theirs.  To do that, you must post a minimum of 3 times a week.  Give away all the free information you can but use your head and include your top keywords in your blog content which will continue to build your SEO efforts with every post while still giving Google all it wants in terms of great content.

If you’re not sure how to do this, I can help you in your keyword training endeavors.

Even CNN is now recognizing that now is the time to go into business for yourself and be your own boss.  In this video, they interview Charlotte Phelps, an economist at Temple University.

The times may be hard but it’s also the time to make that leap of faith into a home based business that will position you for the coming global entrepreneurial shift that has started to take place.

Governments are helping entrepreneurs are at the vanguard of social economic change and those who do take advantage will look 20 years from now with it as being the crux where things changed to create for them a successful career.

Be creative and choose a niche that will sell your idea. And what better way to do that than through the Internet.

Why play it safe when down times are what create future successful companies that were smart enough to see the trend and take advantage of it.  If this isn’t enough motivation to take the leap, I don’t know what is.
