Keywords and Getting Started with them to the top of the Search Engines
-
We are an online Saas Based startup. Strongly 70% of our daily users come directly to us since they know us by the url .
Now there these 30% who scout for software's like ours online. Get to us by some hook or crook and then maybe end up giving the trial a shot.
Our Main site is only of say 5-6 pages. These pages have basic info about our product , pricing and contact etc.
What I wish to understand is that when one says" getting those keywords to the top of the engines rankings" who do you mean by these - I presume one means that get the keywords you want to compete for and then push in "Adwords" or better content pages?
So If I want to rank well - then my websites should have good content pages you mean? Is that correct-? That means now I have to write good content on those keywords or around those keywords- without that there is no hope to come on good on engines right? Correct me here if I sway away from the actual meaning.
Next I wish to have campaigns setup in google adwords keeping in mind those competitive keywords - here again does content on my website play a role? If I have no content and then have google adwords setup does that help? Please advice
How long before I add good content pages and expect them to show up in my analytics etc?
Thanks

Great thanks for the advice. So now I suppose good quality content increase the quality score which in turns helps in lower CPC
For the crawl diagnostics I see a couple of error , warnings and notices - how Important are these to correct so that I have a good stand on the SEO for my website?
Some of them are :** Long url characters,Duplicate page title,Temporary redirect,Permanent redirect, Rel canonical.**
I also ran the keyword difficulty analysis for some of my keywords am planning to improve content on.
The test show difficulty levels from 1% - 61% for multiple of these keywords. How do I measure low,medium and high difficulty?
Search volumes for a lot of these say " Not enough data" - should I interpret this as those keywords for which I should not work on the getting the content better? Or these keywords are not that popularly searched?
Could you kindly throw some light upon the above questions . Thanks

When people say get to the top of Google, they mean SEO. SEOMOZ is all about that. On here we really don't talk much about Adwords. I love Adwords and I am great at it, but I don't think many people here are as interested in hearing about Adwords.
Yes have good content for SEO. In fact, write some SUPER KICKASS content. Use the keywords in your content, BUT don't overdo it.
"Next I wish to have campaigns setup in google adwords keeping in mind those competitive keywords - here again does content on my website play a role? If I have no content and then have google adwords setup does that help? Please advice"
Answer YES! Your quality Score if affected. Low quality score = Higher CPC. Higher Quality Score = Less CPC.
"How long before I add good content pages and expect them to show up in my analytics etc?"
I don't understand that sentence. If you mean how long your content will take to show up in the SERPS, normally on the next crawl. "IF" someone visits your new content page, then it'll take about 2 hours to report in GA.

Competitive Research | | AleksanderOlsen
Image attatched... How is it possible to rank on Google Norway for spot nr.1 (page in English language) and spot nr.2 (page in Norwegian language) , when all you competitors have higher PA, DA and a lot more backlinks and better on-page optimization according to MOZ? Is there something I´m misunderstanding?
Just when I thought SEO started to make sense 😞 7sXH00d0 -

Beating the Big Boys: help analyzing keywords in a very competitive space
Hi all! Long time Pro member first time question asker! We are in real estate in Barcleona and, although we create tons of content (daily blogs, free ebooks, videos) we have never properly optimized our root domain page for any keywords that might bring us specifically real estate related traffic from Google. Our website is www DOT SuiteLife DOT com. My question is about keyword analysis. We've had this sort of paralysis whereby we're nervous to start link building etc… for the wrong keywords. The problem we have is that most all keywords in our space are VERY competitive. So far the two tools we've used are: Google Keyword tool: About the top 20-40 keywords we'd like to go after are rated as HIGH competition. SEOmoz Keyword tool: Only the really too-obscure or long tailed keywords related to our business fall under a 50 rating. We were wondering if anyone could shed some light on how to further analyze keyword possibilities for our homepage when it seems like anything with any decent search traffic is super competitive. Please let me know if there's any important info that I've left out! Thank you SO much in advance for any advice/help. The SEOmoz community is so amazing! Rock on guys and gals! ~ Benny

What's the value of Exact Match Keyword Domains vs. Company Name Domains?
Hey Mozers, I was in a discussion this morning about the value of Exact Match Keyword domains vs. a company name domain and wanted to get a little more clarification. Let's say we are doing a site for a company called Favored Dental, and they have had the domain favoredental.com for quite a while and have their authority built up in it. Is it better to have favored-dental.com or favoreddental.co or keep its current form? The reasoning behind the alternate domains would be they have the exact match keyterm, in this case lets say "Favored Dental" is the keyterm we were going after. To my knowledge EMDs aren't as relevant as they'd use to be as Google would rather branding of companies instead of keyterm domains? Is this correct, or do EMDs of keywords you're going after hold higher authority? Thanks for the clarification!

Question About Keyword Difficulty Report
If I am trying to assess the difficulty of ranking for a longtail keyword phrase that is 3 or more words long, should I put that phrase in quotes when I enter into the Keyword Analysis Tool or not? For example, let's say I want to see how hard it would be to rank for the phrase "best educational resources for teachers". Should I enter into the keywords analysis tool as "best educational resources for teachers" or just as best educational resources for teachers? Which one would give me the most accurate difficulty assessment for that phrase?

Keyword based link problem on site
So I think I might have identified an issue with a site that I'm trying to get ranked for a specific keyword but, wanted to get some opinions before I started making some big changes on the site. On my homepage I have the keyword that I would like to be ranked for in the title lets say "Blue Widgets - Company Name', also on the home page I have some descriptions of our services including the keywords. I also have a couple of the keyword based links within in the content, navigation and footer. But these keyword based links all point to another page on the site: blue-widgets.htm. If I really want my home page to rank for the keyword "Blue Widgets' should all of these links point to the home page instead of the sub page? I know there are a great number of other factors that contribute to rankings but looking at my competition, this is something that they seem to be doing. The keyword based links within the content, navigation or footer all point to the homepage. I also have a higher Domain Authority than some of the sites that rank higher than me so I'm not sure if building more links is the answer. Of course I always want to build natural links but these sites don't seem to be doing that either. Any comments, suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
