How Important are Keywords to Your Site!!
In the beginning "Key Words" where the most important determining factor; on how your website would be ranked, with the search engines. The better the keywords you used the higher the score you got for your sites rankings. However, they’re just one of dozens of elements that are taken into consideration.
So what are keywords, what role do they play, within our site, blog or articles we submitted to search engines? Keywords are the words the users type into the search boxes when they are looking for a product, advice or anything that they may be looking for. Simply put, keywords are the words that are used to catalog, index and find your website.
So when you’re writing an article for your blog or website, think about who you want to target, who your audience is going to be, what your niche market is. Keeping them important factors in mind you will select specific words that will be searchable within your audience. This is an important step, let's face it; you want readers who have an interest in your article or whatever it is that you are marketing.
Spend some time and do some research on your competition and see how their site ranks and why it ranks higher than yours. What words have they used, that allow search engines to finding their site? Understanding your competition is vital for your success, after all, you’re competing against them. Why waste your talents and never have any unique visitors, visiting your site for lack of preparation.
Here is an important element to always remember, when writing your script, make sure you're using the keywords you will use to become searchable in cyberspace. This will become a good habit if you always remember to use your keywords in your article; you will get noticed and clicked on.
There are two different types of keywords, branding keywords and generic keywords. If you’re not using the branding keywords you will surely miss out. These are words that are your business name, description of what your business is all about and, of course, the product or topic your marketing.
Generic keywords are words that are not branded with your business name, for an example if your website is www.outdoorsports.com you would use words such as knives, fishing rods, guns, lures, tackle boxes, accessories, sleeping bags you get the picture.
These are important steps for you to get noticed and clicked on the World Wide Web, if no one chooses words that are relevant to your site then you’re missing the boat and wasting your time and talents with your creative articles.
I hope we all benefit from the information l have shared l will talk more about are elements that will have a true effect on how your site gets ranked and clicked on...
Here is a simple tool you can use to help you with the selection the words you should use on your website, blog or an article you write.
All The Best,

Udo, paid keywords have an impact, but you do your homework and the words you use will also have an impact with dollars leaving your wallet or pocket..Just review your competition and see his keywords and lay with yours until you see the increase in traffic...all the best

Question... How much of an impact will high demand key words impact on a site? People pay a premium fee for words on Google, by not paying does it even impact?

Always remember that you can change and modify the keywords that you have selected if they are not working and your not getting additional visitors too your site then select different ones. change them as often as you like, check your competition are using and why they are getting the clicks..
