Posted on | January 14, 2011 | 3 Comments
SEO key word reasearch is obviously vital for getting good traffic. there is an abundance of information and personal opinions around. i am looking for a definitive guide to help me and my staff to focus and use some of the best techniques for SEO work as well as to understand how the research should be carried out. I am looking to explain competition results to my customers and how to do this analysis.
does anyone have a really good comprehensive course?
You will only get to a level playing field with a so called "Guide to SEO"
The basics of SEO can be found easily by searching for something like "basics of seo" on Google and by reading some of the top SEO forums like www.seroundtable.com or www.searchengineland.com.
The problem with SEO is there are basic points that you should do that get you to a level playing field with say about 500 to 1000 other competitiors for a set of phrases.
Only about 30 of those 500 to 1000 can really get any visibility. So what is the value of being the 100 position in a search engine … None.
You need out of the box thinking and solutions to get you to the top of the 500 to 1000 people already doing basic seo.
You need to go ahead and get going on the basics but don’t expect to find yourself in the top of the search engines cause you changed your title tag and put a link or two in some directory.
Cheers.

I don’t know of any specific "course" but there are a lot of good resources out there. We have developed our own guide to keyword research which many have found quite valuable.
Aside from that, you can get a lot of good information from conferences such as PubCon or SMX

I think human is the best keyword tools. Try to think what keyword/phase would you search if you want to buy "your product/services".
as long as the " human keyword" has high volumn of search, that should be fine..
