I have read a few posts today about keywords and it got me thinking. What keywords are best suited for my site www.thepublicenemy.net. It is a battlefield clan webpage and I have BF2142, battlefield, battlefield2142 etc but everyone uses those. What keywords should I insert to make my site come up within the first page or so? Is this even possible for my site being I just started it in January? I also noticed some people can find statistics on the amount of times a keyword was searched. Where can I find this information? Keep in mind I also use adsense so I put a lot of keywords to help target ads. Advice on this subject would also be appreciated. (I figure the more keywords the better.) Thanks for the help in advance.
The tool I use for search estimates is http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword/suggestions/ From a quick look at your Meta Keywords tag, it looks like you have added far to many keywords, and quite a few aren't relevent. I would remove all the keywords refering to hardware, and google. Which would leave you with your main keywords and something like: <meta name="keywords" content="Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 2, BF2142, BF2, Battlefield cheats, Battlefield forum, Battlefield Patch" /> By targetting your site more towards your main keywords you should have more relevant ads appearing on your site which should mean a higher click through!
Wouldn't the following advice limit my google ads only to Battlefield? Battlefield ads don't pay well and my site is relevant to computer hardware, computers, games, etc. ?¿?
My tactics for your site would be to be as specific as possible with the keyword optimisation in the aim of increasing the CTR. I believe your CTR would be higher if you were getting more Battlefield ads. At the moment a sample ad from your site is "Want instant results - Get new customers, more sales in less than 1 hour from now!". Compare this to ads appearing on another Battlefield site "BF2142 Northern Strike - No shops, no queues! Purchase now using the official EA Link software". Although the ads may pay less, your visitors would be much more likely to click on the targetted ad.
