• The first step is start looking for your keyword. You want something that will capture people’s attention, but doesn’t have a lot of traffic and has a good number of searches every month. Not asking too much right? Let’s now look at how many searches a month you should be looking for. Well really anything over 1000 global monthly searches are you will be doing great. Getting on the first page of Google and number 1 position and you could be getting around 400 to 500 visitors every month from just one keyword. But hold on, as you will see there are lots of keywords that are over 1000 searches every month but they will be difficult to rank for which brings me onto step two.
• How much competition will the keyword have when you phrase match it? All that means is put “ “ around the word or phrase and it will keep the word together but maybe swap them around without putting words in between. Obviously words like MLM or network marketing will have far too much competition so you need to look for words that will have less. One way to do this is add words to make a key phrase like “secrets to network marketing success”. This will have less competition than just network marketing. You are looking for competition of less the 100,000 pages when you do a phrase search in Google.
• And your final steps once you have found a good strong keyword is to put that into the search box on your keyword tool and Google will generate all the LSI words that are connected to that keyword. LSI just mans they are longtailed Keywords which Google considers to have a connection to your chosen keyword. You can use your every 80 – 100 words in your post but you can use the LSI words as many times as you like and you should add as many as you can.

So there you have it as promised keyword research for SEO in 3 simple steps. As you can see it is not that difficult to start your research using the keyword suggestion tool from Google Adwords.
