I am not new but I'm not expert ! Need your advice.

Hi All..

I am Ishu, newly joined this forum, I don't have much idea about forums and all but I am not new in this industry. I entered in SEO industry in 2005 as a link building executive and since 2008 I'm optimizing web pages. I know that how to carry any web pages on top of search engines and I really done with many. BUT when I say for traffic building, I feel that I am nothing in SEO Industry. That's why I came here.

As I joined this forum, I feel that now I can get more knowledge about traffic building by SEO Professionals, right? can you guys tell me how I can build quality traffic for any web page.

Thanks!

Hi Himanshu,

Thanks for your reply. As far I know to bring your web page on top position in search engines like google, yahoo, MSN etc with any term. I can do and done for many as I mentioned, my site is ranking on top in google.com with many terms but users are not coming as I was expected. I want traffic/users on my site. May be I am unable to explain but my question is simple from where and how I can get users.

There can be two reasons:

1) You are targeting wrong keywords.

2) You are targetting keywords with zero search volume.

Have u heard of something known as the keyword research. You need to do it first before you target them.

Thanks! I heard and I do but according to me. what is the best way (tools) for keyword research.

You are not following my advice.

IMO the title of your thread should be 'I have heard of SEO but i am not new'

No, I am here to get knowledge and we are here for chat (discussion), thats why I'm asking question. SOrry if it hearted you.

Ishu, there are tools like Google Trends that let you compare the search volume for different key words. You might also want to look at Word Tracker.

Keyword research done properly takes a lot of work. I haven't done it myself, but I've read a lot about it. First make a list of all the terms you'd expect someone to use when they're looking for the kind of thing(s) you have to offer on your web site. Then ask other people (preferably a few outside your industry, so you can get some jargon-free examples).

Next you want to search on those terms in Google to see how much competition they have.

After that, you'll want to use tools that tell you search volume so you know how frequently those words are searched for.

You're trying to get keywords that are searched for frequently, but don't have a lot of competition. THAT is how you get more visitors to your site. It's one of the basic ideas behind choosing keywords; it doesn't make a lot of sense to take a keyword to number one if no one is searching for it!

You might want to do things like modify a general word by location, depending on your business...i.e. if you're a gardener servicing Daytona Beach, Florida, you might want to target "Daytona Beach Gardener" rather than just "gardener."

Hi Terri,

Thanks!
