Site Target Marketing - Keywords through Conclusion
(Page 4 of 4 )
All the research that has been done so far now contributes to picking your keywords. Targeted keyword advertising can provide the increased online traffic you need to quickly enhance your business productivity. Keyword-specific traffic is the most precisely targeted method to drive traffic to your web site.
In setting up your campaign, you may choose up to 100 different keyword phrases that people would use to find your website, product, or service through the search engines. Keyword research will determine your organic copy, your paid search campaigns, your banner ads, the niches for which you will aim, the community sites on which you optimize, and the blogs and other social media you will try to reach.
Long Tailed Keywords
As an alternative, your SEO copy writing can target "long-tail" keywords. Long tail keywords are three- or four-keyword combinations that are very specific and usually have a lot less traffic and competition. These combinations also target users who are closer to buying a specific service or product. SEO target marketing with less competitive keywords can greatly increase both website traffic and sales conversions.
Service Delivery
An important part of target marketing is ensuring that the user gets the service delivered as promised. If it's product delivery, how do you ensure delivery and protection of customer data? What means do you use to collect data? Is PayPal a better system than credit cards? Or should you take money orders?
An online business is far more than just a web site with a shopping cart. Unless you have totally automated (or outsourced) your delivery system, you will have to do web administration work, take orders and deliver products, and do security on the site. Hackers and malicious bots prowl the web.
Factors to be Ignored
When setting targets for your site, several factors should simply be discarded.
Do not obsess over number one rankings. When setting targets for SEO, it helps to set definite targets and to concentrate on incoming traffic and "long tail" traffic. Getting number one rankings for a competitive keyword is a factor that is not totally within your control. With clearly defined targets you won't have to worry about being "number one;" it's a target you can work toward later.
Do not obsess over page rank. This is a "non-issue" I wrote about in a separate article. Obsessing over the page rank is not productive and since the PR cannot be instantaneously determined by the website, it is better to simply work on what you can control.
Wrap Up
Market research (obtained via surveys and reports) can be used to determine the demographics of the users and find influencers. It can also be used to determine keywords and help in planning the web sites delivery systems and marketing plan.
Note: The word "Influencers" is not a word, it's a term coined by Michael Martinez.
