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.

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. Since this type of advertising is directly tied to the keyword(s) entered for a search, these keywords are critical for success. As a matter of fact, without the proper keywords, your campaign is doomed to failure!
