Start off your search engine optimization with easier keywords and as you build up you can go after harder keywords (that is best way to attack SEO).

In essence, you’re looking for keywords with a high KEI – KEI is an index developed by a search engine optimizer and basically higher it is, easier it should be for you to rank for that keywords. Ideally, you want to find KEI’s that are higher than 40. Anything lower than 5 is probably too hard to start optimizing for.

KEI is a simple calculation that uses number of times a keyword is searched with number of competing websites.

Back to wordtracker – this tool automatically calculates all KEIs for you and ranks them in order of highest to lowest so you know just where to start!

Why Avoid Short Keywords?

There are a few reasons why it’s pointless to try to optimize for one of two word keywords/keyphrases.

1. Extremely difficult – these are keywords that everyone is going for and all major companies are optimize for. It’s going to take a lot of work and money to get there.

2. Pointless – for example, what’s use of optimizing for “computers” if all you do is sell computer hardware. You’re going to get a bunch of visitors that are waste, untargeted and won’t make you any money. You rather optimize for something like “computer memory hardware.” That will not only be easier to optimize for, but it will get you targeted traffic that buys!

3. The one-two phrase keywords require that you have massive, large websites or thousands upon thousands of incoming links (they other keyword phrases do not).

So, to finalize, if you want to optimize right away and you want to do it fast with targeted visitors that actually buy – find keyword phrases that are at least 3 words long, not very competitive and start there.

Pretty soon, you’ll be ready to go for harder keywords…
