    Hiya all!

    I have recently started my own arcade website which i'm having fun with even though i'm getting low traffic but now i'm trying to learn about researching keywords and how to go about it.

    How do you know what words you should be targetting? Bit of a silly question i know but if i was to go for "Arcade games" i wouldn't stand a chance.

    Sorry to be a pain but could anyone explain in a step by step about how to go about it?

    Thank you people! :)

    Good keywords to target have a decent search volume and are not too competitive.

    Look at the domain authority of the first page results, and see if they are targeting the keywords.

    If they don't have much authority and they are not targeting the exact match keywords, it should be a pretty easy task to rank well.

    hi,
    1.go to this site adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
    then put your keywords get keyword idea after that you will find so many keywords that are relevant to your keywords then check the keywords which are more relevant then make list of keywords that are more relevant to your site then check search volume of keywords.
    the purpose behind this you have to select the keywords which are relevant to your site and have more daily taffice and less competition but when the keyword is Google you must have tuff competition. so in starting take log tail keywords.
    thanks
