Keyword Research?
-
What is the best way and best tool to conduct Keyword Research for my site? With the Pro service is there a way to find out better keywords to add to my website? I am receiving emails that my web site is being crawled and will be completed in seven days and so far this is not a "Report Card"? is that correct? Thanks for any information

Thank you for both responses. I really appreciate it. Have a good day!

For keyword research, I still have to say that the keyword tool for Google is my standard. I use others from time to time, but I believe Google does a good job with it. The other thing you can do is to look at what competitors are focusing on. (The caveat is that sometimes they are wrong so check to see that people are searching on a term before you go to the trouble to use it. Again Googles Keyword tool works great). One note here is to always try different applications as they come along. (I have never used SE Cockpit as Rusty suggests, so I will take a look soon.)
For your on page report card, go to Research Tools, click on On Page Optimization, Enter your keyword and the url, and click. In a moment Voila!
There are two ways to have your site crawled - one is in campaigns and the other is the crawl test. The campaign reports come out every Tuesday. For the crawl test, you will get a report usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Hope this helps,

For the "report" you go to the on page option in the menu at the dashboard. You should have that there. If there is nothing there by default, try clicking on the sub menu for report card and you can enter any URL you like in there. It needs to be for a keyword you've setup for one of your sites though.
I find this tool best for finding out what my competition is doing in regards to links. Where are they getting them and then I try to get them from the same place. That way I pretty much match anything they do plus I have my own links. I just go after their links with the highest page authority.
I've only been in for three weeks but for keyword research I like SE Cockpit. It frankly rocks. It has an API interface for SEOmoz so I get some moz data there. I just don't get the link information that I need. For that I'm coming here. This is a great tool to monitor your rankings and monitor your competition. You do that by setting up your competition in moz. I think in the link analysis.
I hope that helps.

New Rules Keywords of Google Panda
Hello Everyone,.. I want to ask regarding my confusion of Keywords. How does search engine see the keywords? and find the website that is matched with the keywords. So this is what I mean: When I type keywords "luxury dog clothes" at google, then the website which is showed up, is nothing using keyword of "luxury dog clothes". But then appeared websites which in bold words are "designer dog clothes", "dog clothes", "designer dog" . Can anyone please help me to explain why Google shows the website which is not identical matched keywords "luxury dog clothes" that I am looking for? I read at the beginer guide SEO, that the good keywords must be placed at the front of the title then in the body description, placed no more than 2 times. But in fact, for the example above, there is nothing words of "luxury dog clothes" placed at the title and in the body description. This makes me very confuse how to determine the right keyword for mine, especially the long tail keywords. Thank you everyone. Hopefully you all can help me to explain as I am a newbie at SEO.

Meta Keywords Dilution?
In general, does having a large number of meta keywords listed in a page's meta keywords line dilute effort? On other words, should I focus on optimizing for 1 or 2 keywords per page to keep my efforts focused and increase the probability of ranking better for those 1 or 2.....or should I put down all the keywords I would "like" to rank for? Thank You

What do broad match keywords represent?
Exact match is perfectly easy for me to get my head around - broad match, not so much! Take the phrase, "removing blueberry stains." Is the broad match data for this that I'm seeing in the Google keyword tool for searches that involve any of these particular words, in any phrase, in any order - just so long as they're all there? Any help with this concept would be much appreciated.

Effective keyword grouping - any suggestions?
I have a specific question regarding keyword grouping. Whenever I've have compiled a (long) list of keywords, I create smaller groups of keywords that can be targeted by a category or page. However, I find this to be quite labour-intensive as I'm doing this work manually through filtering in Excel. To illustrate what I mean, here's an example of a keyword list: baby shirt
Keyword Research | | DeptAgency
t-shirt for baby
pregnancy shirts
pregnancy gifts Normally I would create a list of root words, like this: baby
shirt
pregnancy
gift I would then manually filter the list on each root word and copy the filtered list to separate tabs, which would result in lists like this: baby
baby shirt
t-shirt for baby shirt
baby shirt
t-shirt for baby
pregnancy shirts etc. As you can imagine, this is a lot of work. So my hope is that you can help me out with a smart tool / Excel formula / ??? to automate this process. Thanks for any suggestions!0
