Keyword List Prioritizing – SEO Training

This post should be read after the Keyword Research post has been read.

To prioritize your Keyword List, you must calculate the R/S value, that is obtained when Results or number of competing sites is divided by searches per month. The quotients of the R/S values for each keyword phrase are then compared and used to prioritize which words will be optimized for first.

There are tools out there that will determine the competition for your keywords, but the easiest free way I know of is to plug your potential keyword phrases into Google. If you use the “allintitle:” search function, you will get web pages that have the keyword in the title, that is to say the title tag of the site includes the keywords in it.

The title tag is the name of the site that is shown in the little blue bar at the top of the browser, like the title tag at the top of this page which should read “Keyword List Prioritizing-SEO Training – and SEO tips from Pixelhead” followed by your browser name. An example of using the “allintitle” function is “allintitle:cloth bags” and Google shows 52,000 web pages that have the phrase cloth bags in the title as opposed to 490,000 pages that show up for the phrase just typed into the Google search bar.

SEO Training Update

I am on vacation in Park City Utah this week, but will be posting again next week. The below video was created the Friday before I left, but did not get uploaded until the other day due to technical difficulties and a poor Internet connection.

For now, if you are following the SEO Training series, I would suggest creating a Google analytics account, and installing the tracking code on all pages of your site, or at least your home page and any landing pages you wish to track.

Good luck and check out the previous post in this SEO Training series.

For this series, I am going to use the site which was featured in the Canvas Shopping Bags post, MyBareBags.com, as the site that I will be doing a 1 month SEO campaign. This will include at least a  month of SEO services, free to Mybarebags.com, as I will be posting all the steps involved here.

Need SEO Intern?

Some time ago I had put out a request for interns, and I had numerous people who were interested, but only one was seriously intent upon being involved with the internship. Dunstan Barrett, who is the webmaster over at Free Ipods Ect, will be participating in the program, by doing the SEO steps on one of his sites. Dunstan is an 18 year old entrepreneur  from South East England. Thanks Dunstan, I look forward to working with on this project.

Need SEO Training?

What about you, do you need some SEO Training?  If you have a site you want to have optimized, why not participate in the program. Are you interested in getting into the SEO business, or in getting an SEO position as a company that has an online presence that is lacking? Sign up.

If you are the former, that is someone who wants to be employed as an SEO or wants to make a living as a Freelance SEO, I suggest that you do as I did with Mybarebags.com, and find a local business or non-profit organization and ask them if they would mind being your SEO case study.

How about you? Do you need any SEO Training?
