Keyword Power?
This post is intended to be both informational and instructional, but the true instructional part may come a bit later for me. I am in the process of updating my Pennies for Wink site. The site was my first foray into a promotional site. I had little knowledge and several misconceptions when I put the site up.
I have added a few pages (none live yet) that every proper site should have. I am adding some content in the form of additional catalogs. I am using several Amazon stores integrated into my pages with iframes. The catalog pages work well and look like they are actually part of the site, but all of that content is actually on Amazon servers. That means that there is nothing for the search engines to index.
As a start to getting some possible search traffic I am building a directory page. The catalogs will all be accessible from my left nav pane, but the directory page offers an opportunity to produce a paragraph of content for each catalog that I write up. There are also links directly from the blurb paragraphs to the catalog pages.
I have been researching low competition keywords that have a reasonable amount of search traffic for these descriptions, and having moderate success in finding terms. The next item is to work the keywords into my paragraph in a natural sounding, flowing sentence. For the most part this is working as well. Of course, the test will be if I actually get any traffic that is directed directly to the directory page. If I see that kind of traffic then I will be able to proclaim that keywords do, in fact, command the respect given them.
I will need to support this site with more content locally and also some articles syndicated through the article directories. It will be interesting to see the result.
What do you do to promote traffic to your site? Leave me your wisdom in a comment!
