Key Word Statistics

Keywords help with search engine optimization (SEO), however keywords are so important and require such finesse that it's almost an art form. Keywords are used in tags and through out the site in very specific spots.

The keywords that you chose will dictate the life or death of your website. When you chose your keywords, you need to be able to compete with them. It is unrealistic to think that a young and small company’s website could rank number one on keywords like “Software” or “Books”. Larger, more established companies who have been on the Internet for several years are not only much more well known, but also have links to them from many other websites. These links give credit to the larger companies and allow them to compete on such general words—engines see these sites as a reliable source. That credibility is established over a long period of time through affiliate programs, alliances, link partnerships, and other similar programs. By submitting your site to link directories, you can increase your “Link Popularity” and slowly gain similar credibility, as more pages across the web take notice of you and link to your site. Hopefully though, you will be using more specific keywords than the ones mentioned above.^[1]
