Some SEO Hints

I just wanted to share a few finds with those of you who are adept at changing your own web pages and/or watching very carefully what the search engines are looking for to rank your pages as highly as possible. I use many of these sites myself when I am trying to optimize a site for good search engine ranking.

http://www.freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

This is a free site from WordTracker that provides the number of times that a given keyword has been searched for. There are a number of such programs out there but this is the one that seems to provide the best results.

Google synonym Search Tool

This site is the Google synonym site, where the results returned reveal what Google thinks should be synonyms for the search term you enter. But did you know that the same thing is accomplished by entering a tilde ("~") in front of your search term?

Google Sets

Finally, one tool that definitely has its clear uses -- when you are formulating which keywords to use to build your site(s) around, enter them into this tool. With this tool, you give Google a list of keywords, or "sets" of keywords that you intend to use, and then Google will respond with what it expects to find at a site with that set of keywords.

In other words, Google is trying to help you to make your site more relevant. Especially with the latest push of the search engines towards LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) and theming, having the insight to know what Google EXPECTS to find at your site with the keywords that you specified can be invaluable to your ranking.
