    I see that your website is about indian dating services. What you could do is go to google adwords tool and try to find a suitable keyword.

    start with "dating"
    then narrow it down depending on the results.

    Do a search for "dating site"
    Maybe "indian dating site" is a keyword that might fit with your theme.

    Anyway, I suggest to start with less competitive keywords at first, and when you ar ranking on page 1 for those keywords, move to higher traffic ones, with more competition.

    I recommend using the google keyword tool.
    https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
    Make sure you select 'exact' search type from the dropdown on the right.

    What you want to do is try to find keyprhases that have a decent amount of traffic volume ( > 1k per month), without having a full bar of competition. Remember the more competition a phrase has, the harder it will be to rank well for.

    In general, I find that a PR3 page with good on page optimization will be able to compete well with keyprhases that have 3/4 of a full bar of competition using this tool. The more competition, the more quality backlinks (PR) you'll need.

    Hi,

    I did a little search using Google external keyword tool, and I found some great keywords that will suite your site, and that you'll be able to easily rank for.

    For example the keyword "muslim matrimony" has 3,600 searches a month in exact match, which is great! If you put the keyword on Google search in quotes, you'll see that there are only 38,900 competing sites. That is not bad, and with some backlinking work, you'll be able to rank for it.

    Here is how you perform you research:


    1. put the keyword in Google External Keyword Tool

    2. Make sure you choose exact match so you'll find the exact keyword itself.

    3. Look for keywords that get at least 1000 searches a month (You can sort them by search value).

    4. Export the keywords that match your criteria to an excel file or a txt file, and start checking them on Google search using quotes (eg "keyword"). My personal rule of thumb is everything that is under 50,000 is good.

    5.The next step is to check how many websites have the keyword in their title, by writing in the search - intitle:"keyword" . The less the better.

    6, Last step is to check how many websites have the keyword in their url, by writing in the search inurl:"keyword". Again the lesser the better.

    That is the basic of finding keywords that you can rank for without using any third party keyword tool. I recommend you to use this method until you feel that you know enough, and only than start using any keyword tool.

    Hope this helped.

    Jack

    I second mariahm's vote for Microniche Finder. It gives you search volume from the Google Keyword Tool, plus Strength of Competition, which incorporates intitle, inanchor and inurl. This is more SEO-specific than the competition information in Google Keyword tool, which is more about PPC competition.

    In SEO point of view, the description must be keyword rich format without stuffing. The most important thing you can do is to carefully research your keywords, identifying the phrases most likely used to find your Web site.

    You can use google adwords in choosing the right kind of keyword for your site. You must choose a keyword that is related to your site and check if that keyword that you want to use have a high result when it comes to daily searches because those highly search keywords are the best one to be used to earn such a number of visitors.After choosing the right kind of keyword then you can now optimized your site and target the SERP rankings.

    I suggest you that long tail keywords is the best way to promote your site.You have to choose the keyword which is not more competitive and we have to think of the keywords which is going to be the best for our business.

    Start with General keywords then follow long-tailed ones. It is much easier to target long tailed keywords in search engines because it is not that competitive. Anyway, you can use different keyword tool like adwords and Word Tracker.
