What are the different things you will need to consider when choosing what keywords will make up your Website?   First and foremost, begin by thinking about the search words or phrases that you think people will think to use when searching for the subject covered on your Web pages.  Words and phrases that you use should be your keywords and phrases.  An example could be if you have a Web page that deals with kayaking, then “kayaking” should be one of your keywords.

Tip
By coming up with something that is short, to the point, and descriptive  you will be able to attract people’s attention more easily. Just such a thing, for example,  would be a magazine or newspaper headline.  They are a good guide that focuses your attention on what interests you.

It is better to use phrases made up of two or three words than to use a single word. Competition is too intense when one keyword is used because there are too many sites which do so.  Instead, create phrases that are special to your topic.  This will greatly increase the chances of your Website being more relevant to those who are using a search engine.

Tip
Make sure you use different keyword and keyword phrases for each of your individual Web pages if  your site covers a number of different topics.

Searches may generate different results from the same search engine because some search engines are case-sensitive.  Searches on “Kayaking” and “kayaking” may produce different results from the same search engine. You can specify different variations of capitalization when specifying your Webpage keyword. You can do this by also adding “KAYAKING”.  But since most people search the Web in lower case typing, you will usually not have to bother trying to come up with every possible variation of the keyword.  Running the risk of accidentally spamming search engines is what can happen when attempting to foresee every possible keyword capitalization variation.
