What types of keywords convert into sales?
Here's a tip... I have a client that thinks his business is light
bulbs. He sells fat ones, skinny ones, compacts, 12 volt,
fluorescent... pretty much all kinds. It took a lot of convincing to
get him to see things from the customer perspective.
He used his statistics package to find out how people were finding his
site, and optimized various pages for those keyword phrases. But as
you'll remember from "Nothing but 'Net," your own stats package reveals
how people found your site, but not what the majority of people are
actually searching for. You might be targeting the wrong keywords.
A better idea would be to use the
Search
Term Suggestion Tool at Overture. At least now, you can begin to
see what people are actually searching for... not what you "think"
they're searching for.
The only problem with the Overture tool, is that it doesn't tell us how
many competing web pages there are for the keyword phrase, or how many
visitors we can expect from those keywords. That's were a tool like
Nichetracker comes in.
Using Nichetracker, we break down the customer's keyword into a single
root word like, "light" and quickly discover the target audience is
actually looking for "recessed lighting" and "patio lighting," not
light bulbs.
We overhauled my client's site from being optimized for various light
bulbs, and changed the keyword focus to reflect user habits. Once we
put up informational pages on the different types of mood lighting,
orders for his light bulbs went up 287% in less than three short
months. That's almost triple the sales in three months!
Remember, the focus of your site must be about them... the customer,
not you, your objectives, or the keywords "you think" are important.
Your web site must be optimized for two things... what your customer is
searching for and what the customer wants.
If you focus on user behavior rather than popular keywords, you'll
capture more of the right kind of traffic - buyers - to your site. A
monthly Nichetracker subscription costs less than a couple of soda and
pizza. What you'll get from it... is priceless. You'll learn exactly
how to find high traffic keyword phrases, with little or no competition.
You'll also discover user behavior patterns, how different industries
and products, have very unique search habits, so you'll know, exactly
what keywords they use while searching. No guessing, pure science.
It's almost spooky. It's like being inside your prospect's head. You'll
know how someone will search for something, before they actually sit
down in front of the computer and start searching. Wouldn't you like to
be armed with tips like this, before you create even a single web page?
