Relevant Keywords are Essential to Success
Keywords are single words or phrases that people use when they call on their favorite search engine to find something. When a Web search is performed, several things usually happen. First, listings and descriptions of Web sites appear. Banners may display at the top of the screen, and other banners — called skyscrapers — may appear on the right side of the screen. When a company uses a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign to improve its search engine ranking, it bids on the placement and positioning of their site — typically referred to as a “sponsored site” – in a ranked list.
