1. You can go to Google and look at their
buzz list
which lists the top search queries for the month. There are buzz lists for all
the
major search engine portals and they can lead you into the right direction
for picking profitable keywords.
2. Another great tip is to look at successful web sites and analyze their
keywords. Figure out which keywords they're using to get traffic. Most web sites
are less then 50 pages, so you can can easily do an analysis on the top rated
keywords they use to draw visitors.
Just place your mouse on any part of their web page
and hit the right mouse button. You will notice a menu selection titled "View
Source." Select that option and your Windows notepad program will open up
with the HTML code of the website.
3. There is also
software available that you can plug in a keyword into and it'll tell you
how many searches for this keyword were done in the last month. This is an
excellent tool and well worth the cost.
Using these suggestions will help you figure out how many people are searching
for a keyword so that you can build your site around these great keywords to
direct visitors to your site.
