		<description>Kathy Baka on Keyword research is probably the single-most important aspect of achieving successful results in Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaigns. Whether your keyword research will be used for your organic SEO efforts, or for PPC campaigns, the keywords you choose to try to win will determine the base starting point for optimization.  While keyword research is one of the very first activities that should be completed, it should also be an ongoing part of your campaign. After your campaigns are launched, continual analysis and research will lead you to discover not only more keyword opportunities, but will also bring awareness to what keywords are working well, which ones are not as successful, and what other tactics can be used to improve rankings and conversions.  When conducting your initial keyword research to determine your target and top-priority keywords, some of the top factors to keep in mind are keyword popularity, keyword competitiveness, and relevance to your niche and site content. You can find out this information and more through a wide range of keyword research tools available online, both free and at a cost. I recommend using more than one of these tools to compare, and to come up with your final keyword list.  Regardless of which keyword research tools you choose to utilize, whatever you do, don’t skip this very and crucial step. Without researching and determining a baseline keyword list, you will not have a clear SEO or SEM strategy to base your campaign on which could waste very valuable time and money. &#124; Holistic Internet Marketing Thanks your information has helped me very much!
