so im trying to get into this whole seo thing and well I was curious on how you focus on one keyword ie: pizza, and say the domain I owned was ilovepizza.com how would I go about gettting ranked in google, yahoo, msn, etc under the searched word pizza! Brian Braziel
Okay you have a lot to do. Just few tips: 1. Write keyword rich articles on the term you would like to rank on. 2. Do some on page SEO (title tags, meta tags, etc) 3. Submit you site to lots of directories 4. Exchange links with related sites. 5. Write articles and distribute it to article directories. 6. Get some links on high traffic sites 7. Keep adding content Good luck
Add to the above 7 tips #8 - wait a LONG time One word keywords are sooooooo much harder to rank well for. Try 2-3 word phrases that contain that "pizza" keyword - you should see success much quicker and your site will have ranking, value and it will then be easier to rank for that one word keyword.
I have found the free meta tag analyzers such as http://www.widexl.com/remote/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html very useful when checking keywords in your site. This tool also indicates if you are over using the keywords. Regards Jim
