SEO Keyword Search Tactics. If you have been following my Online Marketing guidance with SEO Keyword Search Content. And have had your share of late nights trying to understand SEO then you will know. But you will also know if you started without Keyword Search, that you have wasted valuable months and even years. Not to mention all the costs like Blog and Email List Hosting. It’s all because of simple misdirection and incorrect Keyword Placement.

SEO Keyword Placement is the one single most important factor which determines your rate of growth. Absolutely everything you do online from Blog SEO, Blog Posts, Comments, Forum Discussions, Publishing, Solo Ads and the rest of the never ending methods of attracting visitors is based on Keyword Placement. Correct Keyword Placement allow your Blog and Articles to appear on the First Search Result Page in Google.

One need to always consider and accept the fact that targeting the correct audience will require preparation and proper planning. But also that targeting an interested audience is the only way to make money online regardless of your method. Be it Blogging, Affiliate Marketing or otherwise.

Another common SEO mistake is submitting a Site Map to Google. Should you not then Google cannot find your Blog. A Site Map reveals the Keywords and Keyword Phrases which describes your work best. Submit a Site Map by installing a Plugin like "Yoast SEO" or “All in One SEO”. You can also use the “Google XML Sitemaps” plugin individually. But you also need to check in the “Google Search Console”. I recently had an “HTTP 404 Error” on my Blog Sitemap, which kind of freaked me out just a little because I was under the impressions everything was completed successfully. And after some intensive research I found that this appear to be quite a common problem, but easily fixable.

Now a Sitemap URL normally end with “/sitemap.xml”. But sometimes an extra (Dot/Full Stop) is added at the end from inside the Google XML Sitemaps Plugin. This may be one of the reasons for the “HTTP 404 Error”. Luckily this is easily rectified by simply deleting the old Sitemap from the Google Search Console. Then simply copy/paste the Sitemap URL from the Plugin, only discarding that last full stop.

But let’s get back to Keyword Placement with Basic SEO. Just thought I’d better share some latest findings that made a huge difference to my own Sites Ranking Capability. The first few lines of your content is also your most profitable lines to work with. The Site Title (H1 Header) and Post Title (H2 Header) with Widget Titles (H3 Headers) is so important. Along with the first 160 Characters of your Content Body is the only way to make money online with Blogging.

SEO Keyword Placement Tactics - The challenge however is to use those Phrases as part of Description Context. Not just cram a bunch of Phrases and Keywords in there that makes no sense. Within a Description the Search Phrase targeted should appear at least 2 – 3 times. It can prove a lot more challenging when using Phrases in Context.

For best results with Keyword Placement. Always try and create a fusion between your site Long Tail and Short Tail Keywords. Include these Phrases in both Title and First 160 Characters.

That is the Description you may also see in the Meta Description of sites on a Search Result Page in Any Major Search Engine. You have the Site Title normally at the top in Blue. Then the URL right beneath it in Green with the Description Text in Black. You may also notice some Keywords in Bold within the Meta Description. This will be the Keywords the Site currently Ranks for.

SEO Keyword Placement Search Phrases

Exactly which Keywords and Search Phrases to use will be different to each person. It depends on the Niche you choose to make money online with. Always target Keywords and Search Phrases with a High Search Volume and Low to Medium Competition. Even then it may take a while to actually appear in Google Search Results.

Search Engine Optimization is quite basic and mostly Logic once you get the hang of it. But it is the less traveled path for a reason. While actual Ranking may increase quite rapidly with correct Keyword Placement. It does involve weeks and even months of proper research to obtain those relevant Keywords and Search Phrases.

You may even end up changing the Blog and Post Title a few times in the Meta Description. But when you do be sure that you also check on the Sitemap in the Google Search Console. Remember that when you change Keywords and Search Phrases the entire Sitemap also changes. And if you do not update that it will be like giving Google the Wrong directions to your site.

Proper Search Engine Optimization really is as simple as merely telling All Major Search Engines exactly what your Blog, Video, Article or any Content is about. The basics always come down to Title, Description and how many times the Search Phrase appear.

Keyword and Search Phrase Placement is your Direction, and it’s So Much More Important than Speed.

SEO Keyword Placement Post Title Search

Try avoiding words like “and” or “at” in a Post Title because this will sometimes show up as a Special Character (&@$%) which is not considered SEO Friendly and will decrease your Blog SEO Score.

This also goes for Video, Article and E-Book titles. Because at some point in time those Titles are going to show up in Google Results. Which is why it is so important to use the Search Phrases in Context because that is the Description that a Visitor will read.

This is also part of the "First Impression". What does your potential buyer see when they look at the Meta Description on the Google Search Result Page? Do they see a desperate attempt at a sale, or an actual professional suggestion to relevant, unique and compelling content?

The only “Secret” to actually Making Money Online is to keep going until you succeed. Not until you grow tired of trying.
