We do lots of SEO campaigns and have noticed an increasing trend of companies following their competitors’ keywords. Businesses might assume that following competitor’s keywords must pertain to their own business since they are in fact, similar businesses. While that might be the way, chances are that they your competitors are just following their competitors’ keywords. The loop continues. Breaking apart from the masses is best way to get noticed online. Since we are talking about what the best keywords are to use for your business, let’s first find out what the competition is doing right with their keywords.
Why Your Competition Is Doing SEO Right
Going after a competitor’s keywords is a good way to end up number 2 or 3 on search engines. Some of you business owners might think #2 would be great from the position you currently reside in. The competition has been running after those keywords for some time now. If they’re a larger business than you, chances are they are spending their marketing budgets to get high rankings for those keyword terms. Right there we discovered two key points in their SEO keyword campaigns. Another reason that some competitors’ keywords could have those top ranks is because of the size of the site (more pages using those keywords), and navigation using specific keywords.
Finding That Keyword That Makes You Jump!

I can totally agree that google’s keyword tool is a great free tool to find good keywords within your niche. Finding low competitive keywords that still have a reasonable amount of search volume, combined with the more common keywords in your niche, can help bring more visitors to your site. Since I use wordpress, having some of the built in plugins available for this like All In One SEO, has shown irefutable results as opposed to not using it. It takes time to get the info in, but it’s definitely worth it.
I have some articles regarding SEO, and other related content on my site.
