What is your Primary Keyword Phrase?
After using WordTracker, you should have a great list of keyword phrases. Ideally, you have a single keyword phrase that sticks out from the rest in terms of KEI value and that best represents the category of service, product, or information your website provides. This is your Primary Keyword Phrase and is the one phrase that will be included on all your web pages, particularly on your home page.
You should also have several other phrases that represent more specific or refined variations to your Primary Keyword Phrase. These phrases will be used on your specific product, service, or content pages.
For example, let’s use a website that sells house plans online:
Primary Keyword Phrase: “house plans”
Specific variations: “country house plans”
“luxury house plans”
“Cape Cod house plans”
Notice how the Primary Keyword Phrase is contained within the more specific phrases? This is the ideal situation to achieve.
Do not try to go after generic keywords or single words. How difficult do you think it would be to get a top ranking for, say “computers”? You’d be competing with over 52 million other web pages!
If your site is comprised of totally separate categories of products or services (such as baby diapers and garage door openers for example), or if you sell to completely different bases of customers, you should consider splitting your website into multiple sites, with each site containing one category. For more information on this, see Creating Multiple Sites. |
