The site is http://www.thedevnetwork.com here is some info: Title: the Dev Network (Dev as in Developer) Description: IT and Developer Community, Marketplace, and Resource for Web/Game/Software Developers. Now, I want to rank good in SERP's but not sure what keyword is the best here is a list of what I thought is good: 1. Developer 2. IT 3. Community 4. Game Developer 5. Software Developer 6. Developer Network Can you choose which one would be best to promote in SERP's and if you have any please suggest some more, thanks!
I would rather suggest you to place the following as your key word. 1. Game Developer 2. Software Developer 3. Developer Network
Okay from Overture Keyword Tool: Searches Made Keyword 18,359 ------------- web developer 13,153 ------------- developer 3,323 -------------- software developer 2,466 -------------- game developer 109 ---------------- developer network So it's going to be one of these (ranked by difficulty in SERP's): 1. Web Developer (Very/Hard?) 2. Developer (Hard) 3. Software Developer (Medium) 4. Game Developer (Medium) Which one should I pursue?
looking at those results. I'd say Software Developer. There aren't many other sites out like yours. When someone types in software developer they are probably looking for help/information or a contractor. All of which they could find from your site, from reading your description anyway I'd assume. But I'd still try to work with the term developer as much as possible.
I will stick with Software / Game Developer ... When you are well ranked in them, then work your way up developer (which will be VERY hard ) ....
Okay so Software Developer would be good, would it be wise to do one keyword at a time ex. Software first then Game or do both at the same time?
As long as you have a steady flow of content of the keywords you are using then you can do both at the same time. If you are going to 'half-ass' it then work on one at a time.
also use this tool if ever you want to put google adsense on your site https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal check the keyword difficulty aswell at http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/keyword-difficulty/ cheers..
It says that Developer is 83.5% hard, Software Developer is 81%, and Web Developer is like 82%, and Game Developer is 75%, I might as well go for the keyword Developer?
Here are the keywords I used for the forums: 1. Developer and IT Articles 2. the Web Development 3. the Game Development 4. the Software Development 5. the IT Developers 6. the Marketplace
