Google Keyword Tools
Brought to you by Jeff Cline – Seo Expert
Keywords are used by search engines to find the websites most appropriate for what you are seeking. A good keyword search uses specific words that narrow down results to just a few pages or items. An Seo Specialist will know all about keywords.
Most people think of keywords as single words; however, keyword phrases including multiple words are more commonly used. These are referred to as short-tail and long-tail keywords.
Short-tail keywords have fewer words and return a large number of web pages.
Long-tail keywords have more words and return fewer Web pages, but the return pages are more specific to the searcher’s needs.
Most searchers begin with short-tail keywords in a search, adjusting later, related searches to use long-tail keywords. This is better than using very specific keywords right away, as searchers often do not know which long-tail keyword phrases will return the best pages.
A good Web designer or SEO Expert will use both short- and long-tail keywords when creating a website, drawing searchers in every phase of a search. A variety of good long-tail keywords generally ensures a higher conversion of searches into sales for retail or marketing sites, as long-tail searchers have figured out what they are really looking for and are much closer to purchasing an item than short-tail searchers.
