In database search, this is a word or a phrase that helps to narrow down a search when looking for information specific to that subject. In internet marketing, this often translates to, according to businessdictionary.com, as being “words or phrases ‘sold’ by the owner of a search engine to advertisers so that when a user specifies a keyword for a search the advertiser’s ad automatically appears on top of the searched pages.” Many companies offer this type of service to their clients for an additional fee, to ensure that when their businesses are searched in Google or Yahoo, they are in the top 10 search results on the front page during said search.
When it comes to keywords for your business, it’s important to regularly update your site’s set of keywords and add new ones when (and if) the existing ones are no longer in high demand for searches. However, you want to take care not to overuse your keywords constantly to the point where your site can look spammy.
How can you start finding the right keywords to work with? Google offers a helpful tool called Google AdWords that can allow you to search a word or phrase and see how high it ranks on a local and global monthly search scale. This list changes often so check in regularly to ensure that your keywords are still as up to date as possible.
