Choosing appropriate keywords is extremely important. Think about it: Keywords are what lead search engine users to your site. How to choose your keywords Choosing the right keywords is the first step to better search engine positioning. Analyze your business carefully and think of all the words that relate to your company or product. Let's say you sell puppy food. What words would you search for when looking for the same product?

Directories such as Yahoo! and Open Directory Project list sites in alphabetical order. It's important to consider the effect of the alphabetical hierarchy as you choose keywords. Avoid spam Be careful choosing keywords. If all your keywords don't relate to your site's content you risk being penalized for spam.
