If you have just put up a internet page , you most definately all ready have heard words like: keywords, Google Adwords, Google Adsense, SEO. Adwords, Adsense, SEO have one thing in common - Keywords. How important are keywords? Very Important.

Google Adwords

Adwords, be it through Google, Miva, or any pay-per-click search engines, you absolutely need keywords. With Adwords, you create a three-line advertisement - 25 word title, with two 35 word lines of advertisement copy - then you create your keywords. To get the hits, you have to brainstorm for different keywords, that are different but relevant to your target audience. Sound brain friendly? Its not. It takes time, patience, constant tweaking, and hoping that the merchandise you are selling is not already saturated -- to much competition, makes it a little more difficult for the novice to build a profit.

Google Adsense

Google Adsense is an branding script created by Google, and which is initial to be explored by other search engines, such as Yahoo and MSN - that allows you to put targeted ads on your website. If someone clicks on the ad, you earn a small amount of money. These ads are keyword driven and are relevant to your webpage or website.

SEO

Search engine optimization - this for me has been a time-consuming process - since I am still learning. SEO is keyword driven - the search engines pull the keywords from your web copy - not, to my surprise, from the meta keywords tag. Granted, I still utilize the meta keywords tag, but maybe in the near future, I will slowly eliminate the tag from my webpages...

The search engines do, however, pull acquired skill from Meta Description, Meta Title, and the content of your webpages. Thus, content does reign supreme.

Since content reigns supreme, each page should contain useful content and most importantly, your most relevant keywords that you want to emphasize. Secondly, it is best to try and base your keywords around a central theme. I have found that when the keywords diverts away from the main theme - that sends a red flag to search engines.
