Search Engine Optimization is crucial to the success of your online business. Without using this tool you simply do not stand a chance of being noticed. Keywords will make the search engine crawlers and spiders notice you. It makes them show interest and you need the right keywords to be effective.

Keywords are the point around which your entire SEO campaign revolves. The keywords you choose are the search terms that internet users will type into their search engine to find what you are offering – and so you need to get the keyword choice right in order to have the best chance of success. Choosing keywords that are very industry generic will mean that every other website offering similar products or services to you will probably be ahead of you in the results list because they have domain age and search engine authority on their side. Good SEO can of course help to change this over a long period of time, but the best way to ensure more success in the shorter term (under 12 months) is to do proper research into the best keywords possible for your website to target.

Keywords can be classified into three categories:
1. Single word keyword
2. Multiple word keyword
3. Keyword based on Theme

Single word keyword – are known as Generic Keyword where it targets general audience. It is used to target a large traffic but leads to high competition category of sites. These days, searchers mostly use two or three to find out their required information although, single word keywords are good theme keywords.

Multiple word keyword – are known as Specific Keyword where it targets specific audience and not general searcher. Multiple word keyword helps to target specific page for a specific audience and used to target specific traffic, which leads to high sale, top position in search result listing as well as improves page rank competition. It is more often than not more of a location specific and related to geographic area of your intended services or product.

Keyword based on Theme – are known as Conceptual Keyword. These are used in each page of website to focus on a specific topic correlated to a targeted topic or idea (theme).
Keywords based on Theme effectively contribute in growth of informative pages for its site focusing on different related topics. Keywords based on Theme add quality by providing Keyword Rich Text to search engines, which improve results and provide targeted search result listings.

So, how do we start using Keyword(s)? Well, we start with the basics. What services or products do you provide? What are the likely search terms someone might use for finding that service or product? What would you type into a search engine if you wanted to find your kind of website? You can use a keyword suggestion tool for some useful clues if you are stuck with ideas about search terms for your products or services. Then you can check how potential your keywords are by using a Google Adwords Tool. This will tell you how many people type those keywords into their search engine so you can see how competitive those search terms are. By choosing keywords which are not competitive at all means that hardly anyone types those keywords into search engines so you run the risk of not attracting enough traffic to your website to make your SEO campaign worthwhile and give you a return on your investment. Finding out also what search terms your main competitors are targeting can help you choose keywords which will help you to stand out from the crowd. And since keywords play a crucial role in search rankings, you have to be very careful and select appropriate keywords that matched to your content so then your site will become a winner in all search engines.
