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.

Focus Keyword
Hi everyone! I am pretty new to SEO so all the help would be great. Does every webpage on our website need a focus keyword for example like the about us page. We have webpages for every location in the UK - Would it be helpful if the location webpages had a focus keyword also? Just to note that I am using Yoast on Wordpress. Many thanks,

How accurate is Googles Keyword Planner?
I did some keyword research for our company. Some of the terms we got 100,000 search volume for in 2011 now have only 90 monthly searches. I am doing exact match for both US and Global and neither are any where near those high of numbers. Now I can't say how the old report on this was done but we are all a little skeptical of these numbers. Is there any other tool out there for search volume on Google? The Moz tool while it lists Google as an option only does Bing. Thank you!

Keyword search tool or API
Anyone have a suggestion for a simplistic (scaled down) version of a keyword research tool that I can put on our website? We need our clients to be able to perform some basic keyword research on their own without getting lost in the details of something too robust. We would like to control aspects of the tool, capture the data from the site visitor and move those results (from their searches) into a database or other web application.

Am I Doomed with Low Volume Keywords?
I've been pursuing an internet startup for over a year now. We've figured a lot of things out along the way and even managed to start making some modest revenue ~$3,000/month. We're just now starting to dig into SEO and I'm realizing that most of our keywords aren't very high volume. The best have 1,000 local searches per month (exact match) with most being a couple hundred local searches. I'm worried that I've picked a market that's too small, but I don't have the SEO experience to know if this is normal or not. Most of my keywords are rated 'highly competitive' and also are stacked with CPC ads upon Google search. I'd love to know what others' experience with keyword volume is and if I'm just overreacting on limited knowledge. Thanks!

A question about local longtail keywords
Hello all. This is my first interaction with SEOmoz, and I am still in my learning phases. I currently own a lawn fertilization company near Allentown, PA. I do the site for myself, and I am ranked number one for organic lawn care for my cities. My question may seem kind of elementary, but I just want to clear this up for myself. I want to start a side business doing SEO, and from what I gather step one is keyword research. I plan on building new sites to start as opposed to going in and fixing existing ones. So, I've been reading a lot on how to do keyword research and so forth. I will use my current business as a reference for my question. Should my main keywords be along the lines of "lawn care" and "lawn services", and then the location specific stuff be seperate? Or should my main keywords be "lawn care allentown, pa"? I plan on running my business solely for local businesses, so I am not to interested in competing with the entire world for keywords. I just wasn't sure how to differentiate my keyword research for local business. I hope that question made some sense. I am really starting to grasp the elements of SEO, but for some reason the keyword part of things perplexes me. Thanks for any responses!
