Why Keyword Research Is Vital For Your Website's Growth

by Liam Schembri

In a world where a website exists for almost every niche imaginable, choosing the right keywords can be extremely difficult and confusing. As Google is constantly introducing new methods to eliminate spam websites, you must be careful not to "overstuff" your website with keywords as the search engines will likely mark it as spam and remove your website and it's related pages from their listings altogether.
Many people underestimate the importance of keyword research. They believe that the search engine rankings are meant to be determined by the search engines themselves, but this is far from the truth. So why is keyword research vital for your website's growth?
Keyword research is incredibly important and will determine your website's rankings in the search engines, ultimately affecting your traffic and overall profitability. Simply put, having relevant keywords on your website will result in it ranking higher for your chosen niche, ultimately attracting targeted (and profitable) visitors. It is the single most important aspect of search engine optimization (SEO) and is what many webmasters spend the majority of their time online working on.
Conducting proper keyword research will give your website and/or online business a huge advantage over your competitors. There are many factors to consider during this process, including:
• What your target market is searching for
• Variations of keywords including misspelling and keywords wrapped in quotes (e.g "This is a quotation keyword")
• What keywords your competitors have already targeted
If you find that keyword research is too difficult, it is recommended that you contact a professional SEO company to do the work for you. At the expense of a few hundred dollars, this will ensure that your website is optimized and ranks in it's best possible position.
