I see it quite often, folks talking about their search engine ranks. Problem is most folks who are new to the web, don’t understand it. Time after time I see some one complaining that while they rank well for “such-in-such” keyword or phrase, they don’t see any traffic. They don’t understand how they can be listed well, but no one visits their site.

Most every time it’s because they don’t understand the first rule for getting traffic from the like of Google or Yahoo.

Remember this well…

You have to rank well for keywords or phrases that internet surfers actually type in that search box. You could rank #1 for “Buzz Cola”, but if one one is searching for it, how many visitors do you think you’ll get? Zip, Zero, Naddy. Again, ranking for anything does not mean you will see any traffic.

That is, unless you have the rank-o-matic tool.

So, how do you discover what people are searching for? Use the right tools.

First I recommend is Word Tracker. Although it’s about $50 a month, it will pay for itself many times over.

If your on a budget, a nice free tool can be found over Digital Point.
