How to find easy keywords to rank for?
-
We've got fantastic results from a keyword here. After we signed up for SeoMoz, we found that, for luck, this was a very easy keyword (1%) to rank for.
How can I find more easy keywords?
-
Well the question was "How can I find more easy keywords? " keywords people place in their meta tags are usually challenging and even if they are not challenging one must do the research to figure out if they are challenging... Another thing I like to do is check for related searches in a google search

True but since sites still have them it's a good indicator of what people are optimizing for. That's my point.

Meta tag keywords are not good for SEO anymore, Bing looks at this as a spam indicator. If the site you are looking at still has these tags on their site they are probably not up to date with the latest practices.... I wonder how good their phrases will be
-
All depends on your industry. What I would do is look at your main competitors and check out the source code to look at their meta tag keywords and start from their. You do this best using Firefox browser, right clicking, view source code. All the info will be in the head, top of the page. Then I'd run an analysis using the keyword tool here or using the keyword tool google provides. I hope this helps and good luck.

Use Google keyword tool to find good keyword phrases. (be sure to check [exact] field on the left of page) This tool will also suggest other keywords for you. The thing is it will show competitiveness for Google Adwords not organic results soo...
Once you have the keywords you want...
Check SEOmoz keyword tool to see how competitive each phrase is. Since you are a pro member you can check 5 at a time.

To switch high-ranking keyword for one with higher volume?
I have a client who already ranks very well for the keyword "odor removal service" (#3 average rank). I'd like to use this as my primary keyword phrase, but the search volume is not very high (avg. monthly search of 90). A similar keyword phrase like "odor eliminator" has a search vol. of 4400 and the same competitiveness. Even its long-tail derivatives like "natural odor eliminator" still have a much higher volume (360) and would be a more accurate description of the service. In cases like this where you are already ranking well for a relevant keyword (but are still not generating much traffic), is it worth losing that keyword ranking in the hopes of ranking better for a keyword with higher volumes. Just to be clear, I'm not referring to a secondary keyword, but to the main keyword phrase around which we'll be building primary and secondary related keywords. Thanks for any feedback.

How can I "target keywords"?
Hello everyone, Could you please explain how can I "target keywords"? So from my understanding, I do a research on keywords, then find those which I can rank for easily, and then what? Do I build links to my website pages with these keywords? Or do I create different articles on the website with this keyword?

What does it mean when two keywords in Google's Keyword Research Tool have exactly the same amount of searches?
The two keywords are [publicity] and [product placement] (both in exact search - not broad) and have 22,200 searches each. Is it purely coincidental or are the two keywords kind of related in Google's eyes and that's why we're seeing the same amount of searches for each?

Keyword competitiveness/research
I'm familiar with ranking factors and can get a pretty good idea of whether going for a keyword is realistic by looking at the seomoz keyword difficulty tool. As well as the % score it has a lot of useful information. There was an seomoz article a while ago that detailed how 100 or so experts determine a keyword's competitiveness. Does anybody have the link? Or just as good, any useful guides to interpreting the data to gauge how possible it is to compete? Thanks

Different pages with same keyword phrase.
I have my home page and an interior page targeting the same keyword phrase. Is this ok or would they be competing with each other?

Google Webmaster Keyword Significance.
In my google webmaster tools the most significant keyword google attaches to my site is word 'VAT' as in, Value Added Tax. Followed by Basket. I can see why this is, as the word VAT and Basket is on every product page, but it really is not a keyword I want to target. Does this have any negative effect on other keywords I am targeting? What should I do about this? Here is the site: https://www.loveelectronics.co.uk
