How To Use Googles Free Keyword Tool

When you're still learning to master SEO or search engine optimization it is important to choose the right keywords to ensure success. The right keywords have enough monthly searches too be worth targeting, but also niche or low enough competition that your efforts are likely to be successful. For example if you sell cars targeting the keyword search "cars" is not a good idea. You will never be able to rank for such a high competition keyword and the traffic to your website would not be very targeted. A better keyword phrase might be "Toyota trucks for sale Phoenix AZ". Not only are your SEO efforts more likely to be successful but your conversion rate from traffic to your website will be higher with longer tail keywords.
