Keyword organization is taking your complete list of keywords and organizing them into relevant groups.

Why is keyword organization important? It is the very foundation of any search marketing campaign. If you build your campaign on a shaky foundation of unorganized keyword research, it can result in a failed effort.

So, whether you are starting a new search engine marketing (SEM) campaign launch or want to improve an existing one, apply keyword organization and dramatically increase your success rate.

KGen is freeware. Download KGen here.

After you download KGen and restart your computer, you can open KGen in a sidebar by View > Sidebar > KGen.

Then click ‘scan it’ at the bottom of the sidebar to see the keywords on whatever web page you have open. You will see how many times each keyword is repeated and also see the weight assigned to the keyword

You can also find a KGen user manual, FAQ and troubleshooting on the KGen website.

What are ‘stop words?’ They are words that are used so often that they have no value in the eyes of the search engines. Examples include a, I and of. But there are dozens more actually.

It’s fine to use these words in the text of your articles or post (actually, it would be kind of hard not to), but don’t use them in your meta titles, meta tags, header tags or permalinks. Using them in these places will diminish the SEO value of them.

You can read more and find a link to a complete list of ‘stop words‘ at techcrafter.com

The default URLs of your permalinks look something like this:

http://yourdomain.com/?p=101

(Not very SEO friendly, as there are no keywords in it, just a ‘p’ number)

With one easy process, you can make your permalink URLs look like this:

http://yourdomain.com/?p=article-name-with-keywords-in-it

Now search engines like Google will pick up the keywords in your article titles.

How to do this? Simple:

1) Log into your WordPress Admin Control Panel
2) Click on “Settings”
3) Click on “Permalinks”
4) Select a setting
5) Click on “Save Changes”

Done!

Google unwrapped its latest search engine rendition today. It’s said to be faster. More accurate. And more comprehensive.

Google Caffeine is an “under the hood” update. The familiar old Google user interface that you are used to seeing won’t change.

The SEO community is understandably concerned. How will Google Caffeine’s indexing and ranking technology affect search rankings? Time will only tell.

You can take Google Caffeine for a test-drive.
