A keyword, for those unfamiliar with the term in its online reference, is a word or phrase you want people to search to find your website through search engines like Google. To choose the right keywords, you’ll want to take a look at what products, services or information your company and website offer. Unless you’re a huge company with a widely known brand, you’ll probably want to stay away from using your company name as the sole keyword on your website. After all, the whole idea behind SEO is to help get you traffic through the search engines for words and phrases people search who do not necessarily know of your business.
Start by making a list of your most popular products or services. If your business were a bicycle repair business, you might want to begin with a couple general phrases like “bike repair”, “bike repairs”, “bicycle repairs”, etc. Once you’ve made a short list like this, consider plugging them in to an automated keyword generator like the Google AdWords Keyword Tool, a personal favourite of mine. Once you enter in your starting phrases, the service will spit out dozens of related keyword combinations you may not have even considered using on your site.
I highly suggest keeping a list or spreadsheet with all these combinations, as part of a well managed SEO campaign is to test and experiment with different pertinent keyword combinations to ensure the most effective keywords are being used on your site.
Once you have a list of possible keyword combinations, start integrating them one at a time into your website and keep track of traffic brought in by each keyword using statistics software like Google’s free Analytics service. Even if you have a keyword on your site bringing in a significant amount of traffic, don’t be afraid to experiment with other keywords as long as they are relevant to the content on your website. That said, as long as a keyword accurately describes what’s being offered on that particular page, there is no such thing as a wrong keyword.

I have just started a small seo consultancy business and the steady income thing is not a major concern for me, as I have a lot of clients who pay in monthly installments. The one thing that I find hard is knowing when to stop work and when I can actually start it. I have a young family so time is a major issue for me.

HmI had yet to think about the simple ways the big G operates. The thing is that it crawls your page multiple times, it still takes a ton of due work on your part to get your site to become relevent to Google. This lends to my knowledge of search engines.
That’s new.I had never thought the plainly simple ways the big G worked in. The issue is that while Search Engines “indexes” your page multiple times, it takes a tonne of due work on your part in order to get your page to become relevent to Google. This will add to my understanding of search engines.
Thank You for this post. I was wondering if its ok for me to print this and post it in our newspaper.

Awesome read lol. Sure helped me through my BOOOOOOOORING work day.
I do believe the number of sites that strive to “grow their fan base by communication” is usually on the rise. Lots of individuals jumped into building webpages and blogging without seeing the need for creating a connection with their audience. Like you have here, congrats.
