The Importance of Keywords and How to Be Found Online

By Dan T Himes

If you're thinking about building your home based business online you're going to need to know a lot about keywords. People don't always realize the importance of keywords to their home based business however, they are actually critical to your online success.

A keyword is a word or phrase that people type into a search engine hoping to find different websites and resources that they want or need. Because of that if you don't use keywords correctly there is a good chance that no one will be able to find your website when they're searching for it.

If nobody can find your website your business obviously won't be doing well so it's vitally important to the life of your business that you research keywords and know exactly how to use them. There are many resources online that will help you learn how to get the most out of keywords however, here are a few tips to help you get started and you can build from there.
First of all, you'll want to make your keywords as specific as possible. Yes, there are a lot of people online looking for the term "home based business" but if you go to Google or any other search engine you'll find that there are so many websites that already use the term "home based business" that your competition is too steep.

A better choice would be "best home based job in Chicago" or "top work from home opportunity in Texas". Even though less people will be searching for these terms when they do search for them they'll have a better chance of finding you. The more specific the better with your keywords especially when it comes to the home based business industry because there is so much competition.

Try to use keywords in your website domain name, on your website, on your blog, in articles, on YouTube and pretty much everywhere else you can.

Everything comes back to keywords when you're working on the internet. Do your research and find keywords that work well for you. Use them as much as possible and more and more people will be looking at your opportunity and that means more money in your pocket.
