Keywords can make or break your search engine ranking. Good ones can improve the ranking. Bad ones (or overuse) can cause your site to be banned for spamming.
Keywords are the words or phrases in the content of your website that someone is most likely to use when searching for your online business or website.

TARGET LOCAL OR NATIONAL SEO?
One of the first things you will need to decide is are you targeting “National Search Results” or “Local Search Results”
This will depend on that type of company, product or services you have to offer.
All you need to figure out is “What do my customers search Google for”? This search terms will become your keywords.
www.ShoutStand.com ©2010
LOCAL SEARCH MARKETINGIf you have a local company like a restaurant, plumbing or salon where you primarily target potential customers only in your local market place then you MUST target with “Local” in mind.
In a nutshell, local search is the Internet's version of the phonebook…Steroids!
The difference is that this phone book, the Internet version, is far more faster, more
dynamic, and far more intuitive.
www.ShoutStand.com ©2010
EXAMPLE SEARCHESNational SearchGoogle search term: Plumber This search delivers plumber services, training, parts, directories of plumbers on a national basis. Google may deliver some local paid results, but typically not organic results.
Local Search TermGoogle search term: Phoenix Plumbers or Phoenix AZ PlumbersThis search would return plumbers located in the Phoenix, AZarea.
These are examples of local SEO keywords for a plumber in Dallas , TX: Dallas, TX Plumbers, Dallas Plumbers, Dallas Plumbing Services

ON PAGE SEOOn page optimization deals with the content (contained within text based characters) on the pages of a website. All of the keywords that are being used to describe the website should exist at least once (and often more than once) somewhere within the text of the website.
There are four areas where keywords can be placed on a website:
Title Tag DescriptionMeta Tag Body Text
www.ShoutStand.com ©2010
ON PAGE SEO• Site Title Tag - the most important tag on any given page; place the keyword / key phrase that you are targeting in this tag.• Meta Description - the meta description tag is typically a sentence or two of content which describes the content of the page.
• Meta Tag – the meta tag is typically your keywords.
• Body Text – Text on your website.
www.ShoutStand.com ©2010
OFF PAGE SEOOff page optimization is the primary “KEY” in the ranking of a website with regards to a specific keywords.
The best way to describe off page optimization is that it is like a voting system.
In general, the more websites that link back to the site being optimized, the higher the search engine result.

Announcing Offers/Sales: Your fan page* will make it easy to announce sales and offers to an already captive audience.

WHY FACEBOOK FAN PAGES

They can share recommendations, memories, testimonials and more. It gives you a chance to instantly address complaints or other issues.
Engaging Current Customers: Keep your current customers aware of all new offerings. Keep a running dialogue with people who could return and buy again.
