Website Marketing Tip: Keyphrases, Not Keywords
January 4th, 2010, Category: Website Marketing Tip
A good website marketing strategy includes picking keywords, when doing so bear in mind that 80% of searches are key phrases of 3 words or more, aiming for a simple keyword for your interior design company like the keyword “design”, will probably not herald the best results and you will not achieve these high end keywords without a massive budget and timeline anyway. Stick to a keyphrase for example “modern interior design” with 3 words or more to achieve greater and realistic results.

Thank you for this informative post I have been trying to get more traffic to my blog using simple keywords such as “design”, “product design” and “industrial design” how ever I have found that the majority of search engine visits are from as you say more then three word searches, with the occasional visits from my targeted keyword.

An extra little tip, ensure your keyphrases contain your keywords I have evidence to suggest you’ll be building your both up when concentrating on key phrases.

SEO has been one of the most difficult things I’ve had to deal with concerning my website. It seems that using three words will get hits from only specific searches, rather than general ones. I guess it’s a good place to start though. Informative.

I would definitly agree with these remarks, and perhaps suggest that clients try and get these keywors into their domains as this really helps for SEO.

Good tip thanks Chris, It does seem to help with your websites relevance.

This is spot on. I almost always use keyphrases when doing SEO.

This is a good tip, I also recommend if it applies to try and localise your search terms to an area, even if its the whole of the UK.
