So here you are, already to begin to design a website. Most people will tell you that your first step should be buying a domain name or getting web hosting. That’s not the first step at all.
You have a basic idea what kind of blog or website you want, don’t you? Before you actually learn how to develop a website though, you want to find out how the people out there actually refer to this thing that you’re trying to promote through your website. Start out by using Google’s Keyword Research Tool to find out the exact phrase that people use to refer to it.
If you are starting a website or blog on photography lighting advice for instance, you’ll find that a website called PhotographyLightingAdvice.com attracts exactly 0 searches. A website that you call PhotographyLightingTechniques.com will attract 1000 searches a month, and one that you call TechniquesforPhotographyLighting.com will attract only 60 searches a month.
What does it matter how wonderful your website design is, if no one comes to look at it? Find out what exact keyword phrase people use to look for the thing that you are promoting through your website and use that all over your website, and you’ll find that it’s a big success.
Of course, you have to learn how to use the Google Keyword Research Tool first.
