What is Keyword research?

Lets get to know the basics first. In layman language, Keyword research is the process of identifying Keywords which get the good amount of search volume/month. For example, Keyword : “KeywordSpy”, “Website SEO optimization tip” and so on.  The idea behind performing a research is to, find the keywords which can give maximum traffic and comes with less competition. I will discus competition part later in this post. For example: When you do a exact match search:  “WordPress SEO plugins”, “Best WordPress plugins for SEO ” both gives entirely different picture in terms of traffic.

You can also analyze competitor site and find keywords which they ranking for. Doing a comprehensive Keyword research based on the data, can drive immense traffic to your site.  And by the end, sale happens only when you are getting targeted traffic. Isn’t it?
