First of all, This post is dedicated to "Om Salma": a loyal reader who is being very supportive from the beginning of our blog. This post is made just to answer her questions about keywords.

Let's start, What is Search Keywords?

Simply, search keywords are the words use when we want to search for any item, service, product, information, or even people online. For Example: when you want to know more about "Online jobs", you will go to Google or any search engine you like to use and type the word in the search box and then you will choose from the result page you get.


Search pages will only show websites which include the keyword you searched for in it, that is "online jobs" in our example. 

Now, Who Should use Keyword Research??

Basically anyone likes to perform online research will use keyword research. However, it is highly important for certain people to perform this search:

• Freelance Writers: If you earn money writing articles, you should include keywords in your article in order to get people to see the articles you write. When working with a client, he or she will mostly give you certain keywords to be added to the article you write.

The two important factors that I use when choosing keywords for my posts are:

• Competition: Selecting keywords with "low" and "medium" competition is a better option because it means that there are less people who use these keywords than "High Competition".

• Global Monthly Research: This factor indicates how many people are searching for that keyword in the whole world. The more global monthly research, the better because it shows that lots of people are interested in this particular keyword.

The best Keyword To choose is one with "low competition" and "high monthly researches".
