Interested in what kind of keywords Google thinks your site is good for? Go to the Google Keyword Tool, click on the 'Website content' radio button, enter your web address, and click 'Get keyword ideas'.Google will then go and check your site and give you the keywords it things your site is geared towards.
What words and word combinations would you use to find a service similar to yours on the web? Ask your friends, colleagues and relatives to write down keywords that would match your site from their point of view. Remember the words and phrases you typed in a search engine looking for your competitors.

Sometimes SEO experts go too far in their desire to push their clients' sites to top positions and resort to questionable practices, like keyword stuffing. Keyword stuffing is considered an unethical practice because what you actually do is use the keyword in question throughout the text suspiciously often.

Most of the time, keyword marketing and keyword popularity are quite difficult to establish especially in highly competitive niches. Nowadays, businesses tend to increase their budget for keyword optimization because of decreasing chances of clicks or visits because of the significant increase in the level of competition in search engine and keyword ranking.
With tough competition between websites, articles, and e-commerce sites what makes one more successful than others is the position a site gets on search engines. The higher the ranking the larger the number of hits or traffic to the site. To achieve a higher position websites use the strategy of SEO optimization and content is written such that it is key word dense.
