A Simple Keyword Research Approach For Small Businesses

Posted in: Keyword Research by Kuzzuk on June 16, 2010

A very simple 3-step approach for keyword research for small businesses.

  1. Find Relevant Keywords: Do not think like a business, instead, think like your prospects. What’s in their mind when they are searching? Make a list. Get Google’s help and widen the list.
  2. Adequate Search Volume: It is great to compile a list of relevant keywords but are those keywords being searched? What is the ideal keyword volume? In my opinion, for a local business anything above 1,000 in monthly search volume is a good keyword to target.
  3. Keyword Competition: Now that you have a list of relevant keywords with adequate search volume, it is time to assess how easy or difficult it will be to rank on the first page for these keywords. Do an exact phrase search for your keywords along with “allintitle” and “allinanchor” searches and analyze the results on the first page to ascertain the competition. It sounds difficult but it is actually pretty easy in reality.

That’s it, do click on the links above to see details on keyword relevance, search volume and keyword difficulty. If you have any feedback or questions then please do leave a comment below.

The Art Of Assessing Keyword Difficulty

Posted in: Keyword Research by Kuzzuk on May 26, 2010

After finding relevant keywords and deciding on an ideal monthly search volume now is the time to determine keyword difficulty. In other words, how competitive is the keyword. In this post, I’m going to share my formula of assessing keyword difficulty where I look at four factors.

1. Exact Phrase Search Results

Open up Google and type in exact search phrase by enclosing it within double quotes. Taking the Singapore plumbers example further, type in “Singapore plumbers” and take note of the number of results returned (highlighted in red).

This gives a broad idea of the level of competition. In my experience, anything less than 5,000 competing websites is manageable competition. For our example, there are 601 competing websites which means there is a good chance of appearing on the first page of Google.

2. allintitle Phrase Search Results

Again, in Google type in allintitle:“Singapore plumbers” (highlighted in red). The number of results returned this time is the number of pages that have the keyword in their page title (highlighted in yellow). Then take note of the number of results returned.

AllInTitle Search Results


This gives a broad idea of the level of somewhat serious competition who know basic SEO. For our example, there are only 116 competing websites and pages so the level of competition is pretty low.

3. allinanchor Phrase Search Results

Open up Google and type in allinanchor:“Singapore plumbers” and take note of the number of results returned (highlighted in red).

AllInAnchor Search Results


The number of results returned this time is the one of all the pages which are linked to by backlinks with the keyword “Singapore plumbers” in their anchor text. This is serious competition but a number like 585 would not be too competitive.

4. Analyze The First Page Results

Apart from the numbers discussed above, we are most interested in getting our website or page on the first page of Google so examining the first page results for the keyword is important. Look for the following:

  • Forums or Classifieds: If there are forum or classifieds pages high on the first page of the results then it is good news as it is relatively easy to outrank them.
  • Authority Sites: Pages from authority sites like Wikipedia are hard to outrank.
  • High Page Rank: Also sites or pages with page rank of 4 or more are difficult to outrank. Download the Google Toolbar to check page ranks.

There you have it, the four factors that determine keyword difficulty and competition. As always, leave a comment if you have questions or additional comments.

Finding The Ideal Monthly Search Volume That Fits Your Business

Posted in: Keyword Research by Kuzzuk on May 25, 2010

The topic of the previous blog post was how to find relevant keywords but relevant keywords without the ideal search volume is not of much use. If the search volume is too high then the competition is likely to be intense making it difficult to appear on the first page of search results. On the flipside, if the search volume is too low then you are unlikely to get enough visitors that turn into prospects and clients.

So what is the ideal monthly search volume?

Good question but there in no straightforward answer as it depends on the type of business among other factors. In my opinion, for a local business anything above 1,000 in monthly search volume is a good keyword to target. Let’s take the example of the Singapore plumber (from the previous article) further where the terms ‘plumber’ and ‘plumbers’ got approximately 6,600 and 1,300 monthly local searches in Singapore. This makes both the keywords ideal candidates to be short-listed provided the competition is not very high. I’ll cover competition in the next post.

Breaking Down The Numbers

Let’s just consider the term ‘plumbers’ which had 1,300 local searches. Research from Enquiro shows that 75% of searchers click the organic listings (as opposed to paid links on Google) which means about 975 clicks for organic results.

A related research from iProspect shows that the number 1 listing for any search query gets roughly 42% of the traffic and the first page captures over 89% of traffic for any given search term. The numbers are quite straightforward:

Total Monthly Searches = 1,300 approximately
Organic Search Clicks = 975 approximately
First Page Results Clicks = 870 approximately
Number One Listing Clicks = 365 approximately

Note: The number of clicks between number 2 and number 10 of the search results page will not be evenly distributed. The higher ranked pages will obviously get more clicks.

You can work out roughly what kind of traffic you’ll be getting for a particular term based on the search volume as well as your ranking. Let’s say you rank number 1 for the term ‘plumbers’ in Singapore which translates into 365 visits to your website. If your average rate of visitor to lead conversion is 10% then you will be getting about 36 leads per month from this search term alone.

This is one way you can choose which keywords to target based on monthly search volume. Next up, I’ll write about keyword competition. As always, please leave a comment if you have questions or additional comments.

How To Find Relevant Keywords For Your Website

Importance of keyword research in web design

Importance of keyword research in web design

Most small business ignore keyword research as an integral part of web design and development when it should be the most important thing to do to ensure your website’s success. There are a number of reasons why keyword research is ignored. First, the small businesses owners are not even aware of keyword research. Second, the web designer is equally clueless. Third, there is a misconception that keyword research is hard. After all, its got the word research in it! Nothing could be further from the truth.

In this post, I will show you how to find relevant keywords in 3 easy steps.

1. Think Like Your Prospect

Pick the most relevant keywords so think from your clients’ perspective. What keywords are likely to be typed into Google by your prospect? Identify many different variations. Let’s pretend that you provide plumbing services in Singapore. So what would be relevant keywords for you? List them out.

Plumber
Singapore plumber
Plumber in Singapore
Handyman
Singapore handyman
Handyman in Singapore

2. Get Google’s Help

Next head over to the Google Adwords: Keyword Tool and change the language and country option (highlighted in green). In this example, I have changed it to English and Singapore. Then add one or more keywords and make sure the “Use synonyms” box is checked (highlighted in blue). I have just added “plumber” to discover more relevant keywords. Lastly, enter the CAPTCHA image and click the “Get keyword ideas” button.

Google Keyword Tool Settings

Now click on the “Local Search Volume” column header (highlighted in red) so that results are sorted based on keyword volume locally in Singapore. You can also see how competitive a particular keyword is (highlighted in blue) and an option to add the keywords to a list that you can export to CSV file (highlighted in green).

3. Collect Relevant Keywords

Click the “Add” link for all the relevant keywords and a list of relevant keywords will be added to the “Selected Keywords” panel on the right (see image below). After adding all the relevant keywords, you can export the keyword list in “text”, “.csv (for excel)” or “.csv” formats (highlighted in red).

Blog Development And Launch Checklist

Posted in: Resources by Kuzzuk on October 7, 2009

Blog Launch checklist

Blog Launch checklist

Over at ProBlogger forum, the first challenge is to come up with a list post. This post is my entry to the challenge. Let’s say you want to develop and launch a self-hosted WordPress blog. Here is a checklist of items that you can tick off before unleashing your blog to the world.


I’ll start off by listing the items on the checklist before I expand further. This is going to be one long post so you may want to grab some coffee or download the PDF file to print and read at your leisure.

  1. Choose a Good Domain Name
  2. Evaluate WordPress Recommended Hosting
  3. Change the WordPress Default Theme/Template
  4. Update Permalinks to Create Search Engine Friendly URLs
  5. Ditch the WYSIWYG Editor
  6. Change Date and Time Option
  7. Update Akismet
  8. Expand Ping List
  9. Install and Configure Redirection Plugin
  10. Install and Activate SEO Slugs Plugin
  11. Install and Configure All-in-One SEO Plugin
  12. Install and Configure Robots Meta Plugin
  13. Improve Navigation with the Breadcrumbs Plugin
  14. Improve Pagination with Pager Fix
  15. Install and Configure Super Cache Plugin
  16. Validate your Blog or Website
  17. Grade Your Blog or Website With Website Grader
  18. Browser Compatibility Check
  19. Add Google Analytics
  20. Make Your Blog or Website Social

1. Choose a Good Domain Name

Do you have a good domain name? Skip this part if you already have a good domain name that you want to use.

  • A good domain name should incorporate some of your main keywords and be easy to remember.
  • Nameboy is a fantastic service for brainstorming and buying domain names. OneLook is not a domain registrar but is another great service that can be used for brainstorming domain names.
  • After deciding upon a domain name, register it with a service like Nameboy, GoDaddy or NameCheap.

2. Evaluate WordPress Recommended Hosting

Do you have a good hosting provider? Skip this part if you already have a web host that you are satisfied with. Some of the important criteria to evaluate hosting providers are as follows:

  • Disk space
  • Bandwidth per month
  • Number of email accounts provided
  • One click installer for WordPress like Fantastico or SimpleScripts (especially useful if you are non technical)
  • Price Plans
  • Number of databases (useful if you intend to host more than one WordPress installation per account)
  • Add-on domains (useful if you intend to host more than one domain per account)
  • Demo login is important if you want to familiarize yourself with the hosting control panel interface.
  • Customer service factors like 24/7 customer service via telephone, live chat or email is important. Especially if you live in a different timezone, 24/7 support is vital.
  • Reliability can be gauged by the number of issues reported on public websites like Google Groups and WordPress.org support forums. However, this cannot be absolutely accurate because the number of problems is usually directly proportional to their number of customers. Additionally, check whether they have a server status monitoring system.

WordPress recommends the following hosting providers:

  1. BlueHost
  2. DreamHost
  3. HostICan
  4. ANHosting
  5. Media Temple
  6. Laughing Squid

Disclosure Note: The hosting provider links (except Media Temple and Laughing Squid) are affiliate links through which I will earn a commission. However, if you buy hosting from my links I’ll provide you with 2 hours of technical setup for free.

3. Change the WordPress Default Theme/Template

To make your website or blog to look unique, here are a few options to consider:

  • Hire a WordPress professional at eLance or Rent-A-Coder to create a custom theme or template. However, looking through the premium and free themes would be a great way to determine what exactly you want for the design of your website or blog.
  • A good starting point would be premium themes that cost less than $100 in most cases. These themes can form a good base should you decide to customize the template yourself or hire a WordPress professional at eLance or Rent-A-Coder. Unlike free themes, premium themes provide support services and free upgrades.
  • If you can’t find a premium theme that meets your needs or if you don’t want to pay for a premium theme then consider free themes. However, finding a good free theme is like looking for a needle in a haystack. For free themes, check out WordPress Extend.

Still can’t find a suitable theme? You can get ideas from other blogs or you can hire a WordPress professional via eLance or Rent-A-Coder.

4. Update Permalinks to Create Search Engine Friendly URLs

By default, WordPress creates ugly URLs like http://example.com/?p=345 which is not exactly ideal. However, creating a user and search engine friendly URL is not difficult at all. Here’s what you do:

  1. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  2. Click the “Settings” link on the left sidebar followed by “Permalinks” link.
  3. Choose any structure apart from “Default”. I like to use the Custom Structure of “/%postname%.html” that makes my URL look like http://example.org/postname.html
  4. If the permalink doesn’t work then it is most likely because of the .htaccess file permission issues (assuming the server is Apache). Open the .htaccess file and add the following code (if WordPress is installed in the root directory):

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    # END WordPress

  5. Open the .htaccess file and add the following code (if WordPress is installed in a directory called ‘blog‘):

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /blog/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]

    # END WordPress

5. Ditch the WYSIWYG Editor

By default, WordPress provides a visual WYSIWYG Editor to edit content. I strongly recommend to turn this visual editor off because a lot of times it creates unnecessary extra code especially when you copy and paste from word processors like Microsoft Word. Do the following to turn the visual editor off:

  1. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  2. Click on your profile name link on the top right corner of the administrator’s interface.
  3. Uncheck the “Use the visual editor when writing” box and click the “Update Profile” button.

6. Change Date and Time Option

By default, WordPress is set to the UTC timezone which is most likely not your timezone. Do the following to change the date and time option:

  1. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  2. Click the “Settings” tab followed by “General” link.
  3. Scroll down to “Timezone”, “Date Format”, “Time Format” and “Week Starts On” settings and change it according to your timezone and preferences.
  4. Click the “Save Changes” button.

7. Update Akismet

Comment spam is a nuisance for WordPress blogs and websites. Spammers usually use automated software to post comments that promote their commercial services. Akismet (comes bundled with WordPress) is the plugin of choice to protect against comment spam.

  1. Log into your WordPress account.
  2. Click on the “Plugins” link on the left side of the Dashboard.
  3. Click the “Activate” link for Akismet.
  4. A note saying “Akismet is almost ready. You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to work.” will be displayed.
  5. Open a new window and go to www.wordpress.com and sign up at http://wordpress.com/signup/. At the end of the registration, an API key will be emailed to you.
  6. Go back to the WordPress administrator and click the “enter your WordPress.com API key” link.
  7. Enter the API Key and click the “Update options” button.

Now your WordPress website or blog is protected against comment spam.

8. Expand Ping List

By default, WordPress only pings one service and does not notify other blog directories and search engines that your website or blog has been updated. So it is a good idea to expand this list and notify more services.

  1. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  2. Click the “Settings” tab followed by “Writing” link. Scroll to the “Update Services” box and enter the list of ping services here.
  3. Click the “Save Changes” button.

Check out Setting up your WordPress ping list for details on how to use a plugin to prevent your blog from over-pinging.

9. Install and Configure Redirection Plugin

The Redirection Plugin is important for SEO purposes. Whenever a URL changes for whatever reasons then it creates an issue with search engines. For instance, lets say http://example.com/category/postname changes to http://example.com/category/name-of-the-post and the former URL has already been indexed by the search engine. Then there will be SEO consequences. The Redirection Plugin comes in handy in such cases to do a 301 redirect which means that it tells the search engine that http://example.com/category/postname has permanently moved to http://example.com/category/name-of-the-post. Do the following to activate and configure the plugin:

  1. Download Redirection Plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder. Alternatively, search for the plugin via “Plugin -> Add New” option.
  2. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  3. Click on the “Plugins” link and click the “Activate” link for the Redirection Plugin.
  4. After successful activation, click the “Manage” tab followed by “Redirection” and “Options” link.
  5. Under “URL Monitoring” set the values to “Modified Posts” and click the “Update” button.

10. Install and Activate SEO Slugs Plugin

The SEO Slugs plugin removes common words like ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘in’ from URLs to improve search engine optimization. For example, http://example.com/category/how-to-install-wordpress becomes http://example.com/category/install-wordpress. Do the following to activate the plugin:

  1. Download SEO Slugs plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder. Alternatively, search for the plugin via “Plugin -> Add New” option.
  2. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  3. Click on the “Plugins” link and click tthe “Activate” link for the SEO Slugs plugin.

Note: Please do check out other slug plugins as well.

11. Install and Configure All-in-One SEO Plugin

All-in-One SEO Plugin is one of the most comprehensive and popular SEO plugins for WordPress. It optimizes titles (titles are very important for search engine rankings) and automatically generates META tags (which can also be over-ridden manually). Do the following to activate and configure the plugin:

  1. Download All-in-One SEO Plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder. Alternatively, search for the plugin via “Plugin -> Add New” option.
  2. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  3. Click on the “Plugins” link and click the “Activate” link for the All-in-One SEO Plugin.
  4. After successful activation, click the “Settings” tab followed by “All in One SEO” to configure accordingly.
  5. You can also manually create title, description and keywords while writing posts or pages in WordPress. Just scroll down to see the options. Please note that certain tthemes like Thesis handles SEO very well and you may not need this plugin.

12. Install and Configure Robots Meta Plugin

The Robots Meta Plugin allows you to set which parts of the WordPress blog or website can be indexed by search engines. For example, it makes it easy to prevent pages like registration, login, search results and categories to be indexed. Do the following to activate and configure the plugin:

  1. Download Robots Meta Plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder. Alternatively, search for the plugin via “Plugin -> Add New” option.
  2. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  3. Click on the “Plugins” link on the Dashboard.
  4. Click the “Activate” link for the Robots Meta Plugin.
  5. Click the “Plugins” link followed by “Robots Meta” link to set the configuration. I recommend preventing the following from being indexed:
    • Site’s search results pages
    • Login and register pages
    • All admin pages
    • Author archives
    • Date based archives
  6. Additionally, you can manually allow or prevent a post or a page to be indexed while writing posts or pages in WordPress. Just scroll down to see the options.

13. Improve Navigation with the Breadcrumbs Plugin

The Breadcrumbs Plugin is a great navigation tool because users are often lost within a website, especially if they came to an internal page or post via search engines. An example of a breadcrumb would be “Blog Home > Category > Breadcrumbs R Us”. Do the following to activate and configure the plugin:

  1. Download Breadcrumbs Plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder. Alternatively, search for the plugin via “Plugin -> Add New” option.
  2. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  3. Click on the “Plugins” link on the Dashboard.
  4. Click the “Activate” link for the Breadcrumbs Plugin.
  5. Click the “Settings” link followed by “Breadcrumb NavXT” link to set the configuration.
  6. Open the appropriate file for your theme (usually header.php). This can be done by clicking the “Design” tab followed by the “Theme Editor” link.
    breadcrumb-change
  7. Save the file and the breadcrumbs are now active.

Note: Please do check out other breadcrumb plugins as well.

14. Improve Pagination with Pager Fix

The Pager Fix plugin improves pagination dramatically. This is benefecial because users can directly jump to a particular page plus search engines have access to links for all pages. Do the following to activate and configure the plugin:

  1. Download Pager Fix plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder. Alternatively, search for the plugin via “Plugin -> Add New” option.
  2. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  3. Click on the “Plugins” link on the Dashboard.
  4. Click the “Activate” link for the Pager Fix plugin.
  5. Open the appropriate file for your theme (usually index.php). This can be done by clicking the “Design” tab followed by the “Theme Editor” link.
    pagination-code
  6. Save the file and the new pagination is now active.

Note: Please do check out other pagination plugins as well. The new version of Pager Fix may not require you to change code.

15. Install and Configure Super Cache Plugin

The Super Cache plugin significantly speeds up a site. Users and search engines love fast websites. It is relatively hard to configure but once you are done, the increase in speed will be noticeable. Do the following to activate and configure the plugin:

  1. Download Super Cache plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder.
    Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  2. Click on the “Plugins” link on the Dashboard.
  3. Click the “Activate” link for the Super Cache plugin.
  4. Click the “Settings” tab followed by the “WP Super Cache” link to configure the plugin.

16. Validate your Blog or Website

It is important to validate your website to ensure that it meets coding standards.

  1. Go to http://validator.w3.org/
  2. Enter the URL of your website and click the “Check” button.
  3. The results will show the total number of errors. If there are no errors then rejoice.

17. Grade Your Blog or Website With Website Grader

Test your WordPress blog or website with Website Grader to mainly check the “On-Page SEO” factors like titles, headings, content, and URLs to improve search engine rankings.

  1. Go to http://www.websitegrader.com/
  2. Enter the URL of your website and click the “Generate Report” button.
  3. Note the results of the “On Page SEO” mainly the following:
    • Metadata
    • Heading Summary
    • Image Summary

18. Browser Compatibility Check

Check your WordPress blog or website with BrowserShots to test the compatibility of the site with various browsers.

  1. Go to http://browsershots.org
  2. Enter the URL of your website and check the browsers of your choice
  3. Click the “Submit” button. Results appear as per server availability.

Note: It is virtually impossible to be compliant with all browsers so focus on the dominant ones like Internet Explorer 6 and above and FireFox.

19. Add Google Analytics

Once the website or blog is launched, analysis and tracking is vital to see where the traffic is coming from and which parts of the site are popular. Google Analytics does a great job of measuring and analyzing traffic but is not the one and only analytics program available. Feel free to experiment.

  1. Go to Google Analytics and sign-up or sign-in
  2. Click the “Add Website Profile” link and enter the website address and timezone. Click the “Finish” button.
  3. A tracking code like below is generated.
    googletrackingcodeanalytics
  4. Open the appropriate file for your theme (usually footer.php). This can be done by clicking the “Design” tab followed by the “Theme Editor” link. Note that some themes provide an option to place the code without having to edit the theme.
  5. Paste the above code immediately before the closing body tag
  6. Save the file and Google analytics is now active.

20. Make Your Blog or Website Social

Make it easy for your readers to share your website, blog, post or page through social media. A plugin for this purpose is Sociable. Do the following to activate and configure the plugin:

  1. Download the Sociable plugin and FTP to the server’s “wp content/plugins” folder. Alternatively, search for the plugin via “Plugin -> Add New” option.
  2. Log in to your WordPress administrator account
  3. Click on the “Plugins” link on the Dashboard.
  4. Click the “Activate” link for the Sociable plugin.
  5. Click the “Settings” tab followed by the “Sociable” link to configure the plugin. I usually like to display it in posts and pages.
  6. Save the changes and Sociable is now active.

Note: Also check out other social media plugins.
