Keywords and Getting Started with them to the top of the Search Engines
-
We are an online Saas Based startup. Strongly 70% of our daily users come directly to us since they know us by the url .
Now there these 30% who scout for software's like ours online. Get to us by some hook or crook and then maybe end up giving the trial a shot.
Our Main site is only of say 5-6 pages. These pages have basic info about our product , pricing and contact etc.
What I wish to understand is that when one says" getting those keywords to the top of the engines rankings" who do you mean by these - I presume one means that get the keywords you want to compete for and then push in "Adwords" or better content pages?
So If I want to rank well - then my websites should have good content pages you mean? Is that correct-? That means now I have to write good content on those keywords or around those keywords- without that there is no hope to come on good on engines right? Correct me here if I sway away from the actual meaning.
Next I wish to have campaigns setup in google adwords keeping in mind those competitive keywords - here again does content on my website play a role? If I have no content and then have google adwords setup does that help? Please advice
How long before I add good content pages and expect them to show up in my analytics etc?
Thanks

Great thanks for the advice. So now I suppose good quality content increase the quality score which in turns helps in lower CPC
For the crawl diagnostics I see a couple of error , warnings and notices - how Important are these to correct so that I have a good stand on the SEO for my website?
Some of them are :** Long url characters,Duplicate page title,Temporary redirect,Permanent redirect, Rel canonical.**
I also ran the keyword difficulty analysis for some of my keywords am planning to improve content on.
The test show difficulty levels from 1% - 61% for multiple of these keywords. How do I measure low,medium and high difficulty?
Search volumes for a lot of these say " Not enough data" - should I interpret this as those keywords for which I should not work on the getting the content better? Or these keywords are not that popularly searched?
Could you kindly throw some light upon the above questions . Thanks

When people say get to the top of Google, they mean SEO. SEOMOZ is all about that. On here we really don't talk much about Adwords. I love Adwords and I am great at it, but I don't think many people here are as interested in hearing about Adwords.
Yes have good content for SEO. In fact, write some SUPER KICKASS content. Use the keywords in your content, BUT don't overdo it.
"Next I wish to have campaigns setup in google adwords keeping in mind those competitive keywords - here again does content on my website play a role? If I have no content and then have google adwords setup does that help? Please advice"
Answer YES! Your quality Score if affected. Low quality score = Higher CPC. Higher Quality Score = Less CPC.
"How long before I add good content pages and expect them to show up in my analytics etc?"
I don't understand that sentence. If you mean how long your content will take to show up in the SERPS, normally on the next crawl. "IF" someone visits your new content page, then it'll take about 2 hours to report in GA.

Effort for "moderate competition" keywords
I'm rather new to this, and while I'm getting some sense of everything I'm trying to figure out what kind of scope of work lays ahead of me. The keywords I'm looking to rank for are "moderate difficulty" -- somewhere between the 45%-55% "difficulty scale" on seomoz's keyword difficulty report. Assuming I have a number of "A-grade" (according to SEOmoz's reports) optimized pages for these keywords, how many links of a given quality level should I be looking at building up? I mean, of course, the more the better, but if I'm gunning for high DA/PA pages, am I looking at dozens here or hundreds of such links? I can imagine that any answer isn't going to come with much specificity, but if there was just an "idea" of the scale of backlinking involved here, that'd be great!

Google recipe search...
I just did a search for a recipe and saw something new. Google has a sidebar that lets you toggle on/off ingredients... Pretty nifty, and interesting. I did not have the recipe toggle marked, I was just using regular search "everything"

What keywords would you suggest for interesting concept?
Not sure if it's OK to ask just about anything as long as it is relevant, but I would love to hear thoughts about good keywords to promote an app that will make it easy to migrate/move phone data and files - contacts, photos, music, calendars - from one phone - like a BB, iPhone or WinMo - to an Android phone or device? I'm having the darnest time coming up with phrases that people who are searching for such an app would use? Thanks

How can my site not ranked on easy keyword while it currently ranked 1 on difficult keyword??
The site in question is http://ikt.co.id The site is perfectly optimized (or even over optimized) for keyword "Bikin Website Murah" (in Indonesia it means "develop an affordable website") currently if you search on both google.co.id AND google.com, it ranked on #10 (on google.co.id) and it ranked on #7 (on google.com), and both term only return 1.3 million results I have A LOT OF pages that started with 'bikin website' , or 'website murah' ... there are a lot of them, and i have had a lot of backlinks on those pages too (have been manually building a lot of links, starting from creating a tutorial article and blog submission and many other way) .. the site has been perfectly optimized for that keyword For example we have http://ikt.co.id/blog-category/bikin-website-murah-promo-terbaru.html (for newest promotion) http://ikt.co.id/blog/bikin-website-seo-murah-discount-40-sampai-31-juli-2011.html (for discount 40% promo that lasted untill 31 juli 2011) AND YET, if you search on google.co.id for keyword "2000 likes facebook" , our lone page that i created when our facebook likes reached that amount, RANKED #1!! , and please let me tell you this term return 400 million results++ (on google.com this keyword ranked #19, on 500 million results++). And let me tell you it take that SINGLE page (which has absolutely 0 backlinks) 2 days to ranked #1 .... and her brother if you searched "1000 likes facebook" also show similar result (though not better then the sister) How ?!? and Why ?!? , i dont understand this at all.... my domain does not contain any keyword, they uses the same engine and yet that lone pages which have absolutely no backlink ranked so well on a very competitive keyword, while my Target Keyword ranked poorly.... And what is even more bizzare? "Bikin website murah" might not rank good, but "bikin website" ranked better x_x ... arghh i dont get it... why my site ranked poorly on easy keywords and ranked high on difficult keywords :(( .... Why I am not smiling because those easy keyword is actually my primary keywords 😞
