10 Best Places to incorporate your niche keywords

The exhausting keyword research is over and now you have the most comprehensive least of search terms related to your business. Here are the 10 Best Places to put your keywords in

1. Domain Name

Your domain name should include your primary keyword and based on the domain availability it should or not include your brand. Avoid long domains with a lot of dashes. A catchy phrase or your primary keyword and your company name would suffice.

2. URL Structure

Develop a website that has clear URL structure and allows you to incorporate your keywords easily. My preference is for Wordpress and Joomla. 

3. Meta Data

The title tag is still deemed the most important factor in search engine rankings and optimization standards.  Be creative and concise, this is your shot to grab the free traffic from top 10 results  /when you get there :)/. By the way, I still put meta keywords in although some people don't.

4. Content Title

Latest SEO trends advise that your content title in h1 tag is not a ranking factor in more. True or False, having a catchy title with your keyword phrase would help so I would still recommend it.

5. Content

Repeat your primary keyword and use related terms throughout the content wherever feels natural. Nobody would read stuff that looks like its made for robots. Once every hundred words on a 2 page copy is a good rule for thumb.

6. Content Links

It is always good to provide links to other resources on the same topic you are writing on or links to other pages of your site. Use your keywords in the link description or anchor text.

7. Pictures 

All images should have descriptions that could contain your keyword. Another place that is deemed to have lost its significance towards search engine rankings but nobody would say that is 100% sure so if you can and it makes sense for your customers - use it.

8. Social Media - Your content/site is ready and you need to let the world know. Tweet about it, comment on fellow blogs page, help people on forums and mention it as a good resource of related information. Within those lines try to use your keywords near or in the anchor text of your site link. 

9. Incoming Links - Should be totally #1. Nothing has more power than the anchor text within a link to your site. Sadly this is the hardest thing to control - how people link to your content. However if you are really serious about this you can run an extra mile for the links that you have from the most authoritative sites and ask their webmasters to change it if they may so they can help you rank better. LinkDiagnosis is a great tool for that purpose.
