SEO – how to pick a keyword, search traffic vs. competition

I explain how to pick the best keywords for you to focus your efforts on.

The trick is to balance the number of searches for a keyword each month with the number of other pages on the Internet that contain those keywords, your competition. This is straight up SEO training, right out of the Simple Guide to SEO, only explained in a video.

I got carried away with video effects this time. I hope you enjoy the extra touches as much as I enjoyed doing them.

This is a new file format and size. Let me know if it’s any better for you.

Watch the video on YouTube instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9hguIH-jMc

    Took way to long for me to load the video from your site.
    Tried YouTube and it loaded faster than it played. Don’t think load time would be the same for everyone, but it sure sped things up for me to use the YouTube version.

    Conrad, I keep trying the google ad word link you provided in the video and keep getting the response that it does not exist. Help.

  3. Chrissy says:

    Loved the video. It loaded just fine. Yup, the hands helped.

  4. Kelly says:

    I clicked on the YouTube video because I didn’t want to take the time to load up Quick Time. You Tube worked wonderfully and I enjoyed the video. Much easier to make sense of it all. :-D

  5. Okay so yeah I LOVE the videos! BUT I have a dumb question…. Once I have my keywords what do I do with them. Stop rolling your eyes! LOL With my website program I have put a bunch of these on each page under “tags”. Is that what you want? Or what Im supposed to do? I have heard that I should also “tag” my photos and videos because that also works. I so appreciate your website. I am learning so much! I am going to take the 10-10 challenge. I neglectd my blogging for a month and BOY mu analytics are showing it! So this will be good for me. Keep it coming, Im soaking it all up!
