In SEO, along with various other forms of Internet marketing, a lot of mention is made of keywords and keyword research. They do all play an important part in any SEO campaign, and it is important to understand exactly what they are and where their importance lies.

Literally speaking, a keyword is a word within a body of text that is most relevant to the topic of that text. In web content development and SEO, the term keyword is typically used to mean either keyword or keyphrase. A keyword is the word or phrase that an Internet surfer uses when searching for relevant pages or websites. If your page is deemed to be relevant and useful to that word or phrase then it will show up in the search engine results.

Choosing keywords for your pages that match the phrases that surfers use can help to increase traffic. Typically, though, the keywords and phrases are more competitive in terms of the number of pages that are competing for the coveted top spots in the search engine results.

Keyword research, typically involving the use of online or offline software, identifies the keywords that surfers use. Keyword research also indicates the number of sites that are competing for that term. It consequently identifies the best keywords for you to target, whether they be niche keywords with fewer competing sites but fewer monthly searches, or more generic keywords with lots of potential traffic but a lot of competition.

On-page optimization is a major aspect of SEO. Once the search engine spiders crawl your website and index the pages they will determine the keywords that that your pages should be listed for. As such, your textual content is vital.

Conducting keyword research should throw up some good keywords. For the majority of sites, the best approach is to start with less competitive keywords and progress to the higher-traffic, but more competitive keywords, in time.

Keyword density is not as rigid as it once was. In fact, Google and other major search engines prefer to see more organic content. Pages that include keyword stemming and keyword variants tend to perform better than the more traditional approach of keyword crammed pages.

One final note, an SEO campaign should treat every page as being independent. Each page needs its own keywords and should be promoted separately.

In its most simplistic form there are essentially two sections to an SEO campaign – on-page and off-page optimization.

• On-page optimization helps to ensure that the search engine spiders can effectively (crawl) navigate around your site, index each page, and determine the relevant keywords for each.
• Off-page optimization improves how well your pages perform when searches are conducted for your keywords.

An effective SEO campaign will concentrate on both on-page and off-page optimization and should be an ongoing program. Even in a niche market, your pages will be competing with numerous other sites to gain that coveted top spot – as soon as you let up the pressure, there is a very real chance that another page is waiting in the wings to overtake you.

The use of VPS/VDS (Virtual Private Servers or Virtual Dedicated Servers) on the Internet is becoming quite popular, and the large majority of these run Linux distributions.

The normal, day to day administration is done through browser based interfaces, such as Plesk, however, you also can use shell access to administer the server, where you can have total control over the server via a secure SSH connection using a program such as Putty. (available for download free from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html)

This type of server administration is also very popular, allowing for work to be done remotely across the internet in a safe way.

Putty’s normal use is text based command line administration, although remote graphical interface administration is also possible.

Definitely when you are administering a Linux (or UNIX) server remotely through a command line interface you will need to use a text editor. Linux comes with a wide range of text editors, however, the most popular are vi and emacs. This article gives a very brief introduction to vi.

The local on-line presence situation

A few years ago business owners did not consider the setting up of a website as a priority, mainly due to their market being a local one and many people just used to call or go to their shops and offices to see what services they offered. However, this scene in the last years started to change a lot.

Nowadays, people are searching for products and services they have interest in on the Internet, where they can easily compare several offers from different competitors, and then make the decision from home, and only after deciding going to the business for buy or order the service or product.

Also, by using a website, you are opening a window to the International Market. People from all over the world can easy see information about your products and services and purchase online. This gives local businesses the chance to increase dramatically their markets.
