Using Semantics for Keyword Research

by | May 15, 2012 | Cape News, UPDATE | 8 comments

Sujan Patel wrote a fascinating article on this topic for Search Engine Journal. After explaining how Google figures out what searchers mean when they enter keywords, he discussed five steps you can take in your keyword research that will help you get found more often by your target audience.

    I’ve been hearing a lot about semantic or concept search vs. keyword search (what google & most other search engines do) but i’m curious to hear if anyone thinks semantic search is more useful to them in their job or just regular life and why they might think so.

    I am contributing articles to a WordPress blog and want to make sure they are SEO optimised. I haven’t been using WordPress for long and haven’t yet got the hang of the focus keyword to give a good SEO score. Surely the focus keyword is the main topic of the article? Does it need to be just one word? Thanks for any advice!

    As dorky as it sounds, I think it would be fun of those, I haven’t had one in years. Would they still sell them at Chapters or Barnes and Noble, or would I have to go to a used bookstore?

    I have tried some keywords on google, for example i typed “remote and nunchunk for wii” then i see the word “nintendo for wii” has a 1500000 monthly searches. and “remote wii” has a 368000 monthly searches. Should i choose the word” nintendo for wii ” as the keyword for my produt “remote and nunchunk for wii” and also other most searched words. beacuse they are the most searched ones? I start learning SEO. Thank you for your answer.
