    Hello

    Guys I am learning here and please kindly help and suggest me. Please spend some time...

    Here is the scene
    Ok I have one site. eg: sports website

    I live in xxxxx country

    I did overture to do research on keyword xxxxx ( my country name)

    I found : like this
    xxxxx
    xxxxx news
    xxxxx Hotel
    xxxxx Map
    xxxxx rental cars

    And the lists goes on.

    When I did with xxxxx sports: there were no suggestions

    So now How Do I select my keywords on following circumstances.

    When I searched in google with above keywords, and went to No1 site ( xxxx news) in first page, I didnt see any meta-keywords anywhere in the page source? Are they hidden?

    Please do explain

    Many thanks for your time

    The xxxxx's make it too hard to read. >_<

    Maybe the website ranked well because they have good backlinks, meta tags aren't necessary to rank well.

    It seems there are no searches or websites for that term, hence overture has no suggestions and google gives you the next best thing - a news site as sports could be covered in news items. Maybe do the seach on your country's version of Google and see what comes up. But I think you might need to rethink that keyword as it doesn't seem like its being used in searches.

    Hi

    Thanks for suggestions..

    So the keyword that I should choose should have been searched before many times? So if I still get some keywords results zero , I shouldnt choose it??

    Another dumb question:
    Is Meta keywords ( from page source) are keywords that I m talking about are same?? I saw many similar websites uses similar meta keywords. So what if I use same keywords? Why I bother look for keyword research when I can see it by viewing my competitors source page and change a little bit?

    Thanks again for your time for such a dumb like me :(

    Well, I guess that's a start but keywords are important if you want good traffic. It's pointless having keywords that no-one searches for because you won't get search engine traffic from them.

    You can use keywords from your competitors' sites but still check which ones are searched for often and how much competition each one gets. You will get keywords where there's tens of millions of competing web sites. Getting traffic from those keywords are difficult and takes a lot of time and resources.

    Good luck ;)
