Ranking in Google is something that everyone wants for their website. The reason being, it would generate free traffic for your websites. What does ranking in Google mean? It means that your website will show up in the top 10 search results of a certain keyword or keyword phrase. There are different ways to rank in Google's top 10 spots. Your site can rank with blogging or article writing or some other form of content marketing, but every one of these processes begins in the same place. In order to rank in Google, or any search engine, you have to know what keyword or keyword phrase you want to rank for.

How do you choose your keywords?

Keyword research is the first step. I like to use the free Google keyword tool. Use it to check out some keywords for the traffic that you want to attract to your website, and you can see how many searches per month that specific keyword gets. You will also see over 100 other related keywords and their monthly search volume. Starting out, you wouldn't want to try and rank for the keywords that have a search volume of greater than 2000. It is much easier to rank in the top 10 spots for the lower searched keywords.

After deciding which specific keywords you want to use, there is some more research that can be done to help you write your articles and rank in the search engines for those keywords. Firefox has an SEO add-on you can use to study other websites. SEObook.com has created this free tool so you can study the behind the scenes information of other websites. You can find information such as how old the site is, how many back links it has, what major directories it is listed in, and a lot of other useful information.

Go back to Google, and search the specific keyword that you want to write your article about. Then you can study the information about the top 10 websites that rank in Google. I'm not advocating plagarism, but you can get some great ideas for your content. Also use the SEO tools you've just set up to study the SEO side of these websites. With all of the information that you can gather with these tools, it will make your content marketing more effective. You'll know if it's a waste of your time to target certain keywords before you even start writing. After you've written some content there are also some tools to use to do some further research.

Using these exact same tools, you can check the SEO statistics of your own website and your content. You'll know which keywords are working, and which ones will need a little more work. SEObook created a tool for this called "rank checker". It's also a free tool that comes from SEObook, and you can see where any website ranks in the search engines for specific keywords or keyword phrases. The rank checker will show the website's rank for Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

All of these free tools will help you begin your online keyword research, continue with extensive research after the fact, and should make your content marketing a much easier process. Content marketing is a great way to generate free traffic to any website, and is a marketing strategy that shouldn't be overlooked by any marketer no matter what level of experience they have.
