Using Key Words in Article Marketing
Wiki: An index term or descriptor, in information retrieval, is a term that captures the essence of the topic of a document. Index terms make up a controlled vocabulary for use in bibliographic records. It is the function by which libraries collect, organize and disseminate documents. They are used as keywords to retrieve documents in an information system, for instance, a catalog or a search engine. A popular form of keywords on the web are tags which are directly visible and can be assigned by non-experts also.
What is a keyword
The wiki description nails it. It is a term that captures the essence of the topic. Its the term that helps organize and file a document or article accurately so that it can be retrieved and distributed. Search engines use these terms in the same way a librarian uses them to organize, retrieve and distribute books for readers.
On the internet search engines function as the librarian. When you type a question into the search box, the engine will look and distribute according to relevance. They are enormously helped by good keyword use. Its that important.
What It Is Not
1. Jargon of a specific field or profession; most people will not know profession terms and so wont use it in their search. Article directories are not exactly academic and you should be write for the general public. Professional jargon in keyword search could limit your article from ranking well in organic search.
2. Improper keywords choice will cause the search engines to index your article poorly because the key word doesnt target your audience properly.
How to Find Key Words
1. Find current buzzwords by going to professional associations and see what descriptive nouns and adjectives they are using
2. Read publications and other articles written by colleagues
3. Read blogs and forums and write down the best descriptive language
3. Use a synonym generator. you can Google key words synonyms. There are a variety of synonym generators that will help you identify alternate terms that users may be searching for when looking for specific products and services.
Key Word Generators
There are many key word generators that are free to use. Just type in a word that describes your business, service or the topic of your article. The key word generator will give you the main words that people use when searching for information. You can use the Google keyword generator to find the most popular keywords used to search for renting a vacancy.
For example if you were looking to list a vacancy in your property, you would want to use a word similar to the largest group of people who would think of that word when looking for a rent unit. For July of 2009, the following words generated search responses by volume:
- apartments for rent: 5,000,000
- apartment hunting: 8,100
- rent: 30,400,000
- rental: 55,600,000
In your listings, it would be most helpful to use rental or rent rather than apartment in describing your rental unit or home. Dont stuff descriptions with key words, rather write for the most appealing and honest description of your vacancy and be sure to use a keyword or two. Tapping into the power of keywords will enhance your listing visibility.
