SEO People and SEO Company (the people who charge money for doing simple things which a fool can do too) put a great emphasis of Keyword Optimization. They say it is a time taking and difficult work. It needs lot of attention. And I say they are right but (yes there is a ‘but’ everywhere) you can do it too. It is easier done then said.

Yes it is the truth. The only reason these SEO people make money is because either you are too lazy to do the work yourself or too rich not to do it yourself (Did I said rich, yap! those money waster). Anyways I am not rich and even though I am a little lazy, I play smart.

So you have decided to read on. Congratulation this 99$ valued SEO or KO (whatever) tip is free for you.

What you need?

An already written and published article. A little bit of brain for deciding what is good and what is not. A cup of coffee or Tea and if you like some snacks (we are going to enjoy and do our work). A Keyword Research Tool which can extract and suggest keywords from a given URL. I advice use of Google Adword Keyword Tool.

What to do?

I am assuming you are using Google Adword Keyword Tool (you should use this as Google is Google). On the Google Keyword tool you have two options to generate Keyword Idea. Choose the “Website Content” option. Now enter in the Permalink/URL of the article/blog post. You will get many suggested Keywords and Key Phrases. These suggested terms mostly used for searching by we people. Our work is to tell Google and other Search Engines (Yahoo, Bing, Ask, etc) we want to bid (no money involved) for the terms, for our article to appear in top search engine results.

Now that you have clearly understood what is our aim, it is time for action. Now here the brains are needed. There will lots of suggested Keywords and Key Phrases. You have to choose the Keywords which match your article idea/theme and which are lucrative (with more daily searches). It is advisable to choose some of the Long Tail Keywords from the list. Make a list of 10-15 good Keywords.

If you are blogger, using the list for SEO is very easy especially if you use WordPress. You need a well known plug-in called “All in One SEO“ (I believe most of you already have this plug-in). Go to your blog Dashboard and edit the post for which you searched the Keywords. Now you just have to put the list of selected Keywords in the appropriate place i.e. Keyword option of  All in One SEO on the Edit Post page of the article/post. Now the keywords you put in become Keyword Meta Tags and suggest bots to concentrate on those keywords.

If you are on other blog platform then you have to figure out some way to put the Keywords in the Meta Tag of the article/post page. If you have a static html page then you can put Keyword Meta Tags manually. If you find/think using Meta Tag is not very good idea then use Keywords as simple post/article tags. If you use simple tags you may not be able to target the Long Tail Keywords.

Now there is an advanced tip for better use of the suggested Keywords too.

This is not for people who do not have time and are not good at writing or reverse engineering articles (article modifications).

Here is how it works.

Some suggested Keywords may be lucrative but those words may not be in your article. But you want to use them in your Meta Tag or as Post Tags. Now what you have to do is add or rewrite some of the sentences using the keywords. Mostly you do not need to do much change. Only small changes will work perfectly. This also ensures that Search Engine do not think that you are just stuffing Keywords. For example you wrote an article on Money Making and you got a Keyword suggestion “Free Money Making” then choose few sentences where you used “Money Making” and just add “Free” to it.

What are the advantages of this?

First of all you do not have to waste time on Keyword Research before writing your article. Secondly this tip is useful for less smarter people too. You get ready made Keywords and Key Phrases (Long Tail Keywords) from Google itself. You do not have to think much. You can write your article from you heart and are not forced to make use of keywords.

What are the disadvantages?

Doing Keyword research is a very good idea. It results in a better Search Engine Optimized article. Writing article without keyword research may put you back in the competition. Your article may need to be edited if you want to target the keyword you discovered during this process. Keyword Tools are not perfect they many a time miss crucial Keywords.
