Part 3: Using Keywords as part of your URLÂ
A couple of weeks ago we SEO optimized our Job Hunters websites for the key words Job Search which we had found to be extremely popular after checking them with the overture keyword tool.
When we started it is important to realize that we did not rank for these words at all, in any fashion. However after fine tuning the title, the content and setting up as many anchor links with those keywords as we can get away with results are beginning to bear fruit.
Now we are still not showing up for just job search however we are starting to rank quite well for various derivatives of this. e.g
job search aussie we are now on page 1
job search australia we’re page 3 at the top, a powerful term this one!
job search new zealand page 6 about halfway down, another powerful term.
jobsearch australia we are now page 1
jobsearch nz we are on page 1
So you can see that this is not Rocket Science, just common sense and doing careful research to check that the words that you are optimizing for are actually popular words. To often website owners think they know what the keywords for their site are and spend their money and time trying to generate traffic for those words – when they’re not actually popular at all!
For now I am going to keep riding this wave, because its heading in the right direction – lets see how far it can take us.
