Whats the best way to research website relevant keywords
-
I wanted to know the general practices SEO marketers use when initially researching and revisiting relevant keywords for a website.
I use this process
- Brain storm a list of keywords, between me and the client
- Check out competitors websites & SERP's
- look at Google adwords traffic analyser ( mostly as a point of reference and for increased ideas)
How do others do it? what process do you find works - i'm based in the Uk would be great to get a UK perspective.
Obviously you can't optimise for all keywords in your list how best is it to decide on the best value or less competitive keywords?
I struggle to get stats for local keywords( not enough search data) - most my clients are local businesses and have limited surrounding service areas.
thanks

Unsolved Ranking not collecting keywords
Hi, we recently migrated our blog to be on the same domain as our main website. It's been about a month. I have continued adding more keywords we'd like to track to our Ranking list on Moz. But it's been a week and the keywords are still not collecting. Is this something we need to fix on our end, or is there something going on with Moz? keyword ranking issues.png

Can you save a keyword in its own group?
Hi everyone, I have been doing competitive research, but after researching several hundred keywords, I realized that they were all combined. This made it difficult and time consuming to do further research because they were all grouped together. Is there any way to create each group of keywords in their own separate group? I see that you can create campaigns, but that asks for a comparison of websites. As I do not have a website that I want to track or compare, I prefer not to do that. Thanks so muck for the help. Don

My Google Keyword Rankings are Missing. Anyone else having this problem?
I logged in to pull my reports for my clients and noticed that I am missing all of my ranked keywords for my campaigns for the Google columns. One word is ranked. All the rest have a TUES sign that looks like it references Tuesday. Is anyone else having this issue? I had over 30 words ranked last week. Only showing 1 today. The rankings for Bing and Yahoo are intact though. There is no report showing a decline in ranking for all those words either (in the google column.) This is also happening in another campaign of mine but they have a WEDS in place of the google ranking... ugh Frustrated...

Is Keyword Difficulty an absolute measure, or relative to my site?
We were able to rank very well for a specific keyword. After signing seomoz I've figured out that this keyword has a difficulty of 1%. All the other similar keywords I've researched have difficulties greater than 20%. Is the Difficulty related to my site? Or is it absolute?
