Avoid Generic terms that are used across multiple niche markets.

Avoid Industry Jargon, a prospect may not know what network marketing is for example or MLM.

Avoid search terms that don't directly describe the information of the page you are sending the person to.

Avoid high competition Keywords unless you have a plan in place to convert these high cost visitors into leads and sales for years to come.

Know your competition. See what they are targeting and look for similar and related search terms and low cost low competition keywords they are promoting to.

Know the sites where your competitions ads are most likely shown and use their keywords to develop even more ideas on search terms you can use. To do this find your competitors keywords out and then search for those search terms and find the top 5-10 websites ranking for those keywords and see what other related keywords they are ranking for.

The more time you spend researching your keywords the less money you'll spend to get MASSIVE Results!

Harnessing the power of keywords can help you reach your audience and increase your exposure, but it can also have a backlash.

What keywords to avoid when setting up your ads on search engines?

- Using keyword that leads to keyword stuffing. This occurs when you install repeating keyword phrases in a webpage. If the search engine detects keyword stuffing, it will consequently forfeit the page rank because these pages often lack useful content and create a poor user experience.
Example: Are you looking for online business opportunity? If you’re looking for online business opportunity, look no further.

- Lists or blocks of keywords in a webpage.
Example: Sign up for free, free to sign up, register for free.

- Stuffing keywords in anchor text in a webpage.
Example: home-based business, work at home.

- Using keyword phrases alternately that has the same meaning over and over again.

- Adding irrelevant keywords.
How to avoid the use of keywords above?

- Focus on creating useful, information-rich content that uses keywords naturally within context.

- Set a limit to 2 keywords or keyword phrases for every 100 words.

- Employ the long-tail method to maintain relevance as well as clear up homographs (e.g., the long-tail helps differentiate the occurrence of the same words. Example: bat, which could mean a flying mammal or a baseball bat)

There are two types of keywords I try to avoid when researching keywords.
Stay away from keywords with high competition. It makes sense to go after the most popular keywords, but they will be the hardest to get results from or cost you the most amount of money. Try to find keywords which have medium to low competition.

Stay away from keywords with low monthly search average. If you target a keyword that only gets 10 searches a month, it's not going to do much for your business. They will be easy to rank for, but without a healthy search average, you won't see much return.

The perfect keywords to use are those which have low competition and the highest monthly search average.

There are many tools available for keyword research. Choose one that shows you monthly search averages, competition and geo targeting at a minimum.

If you're having troubles finding a keyword, try using long tail keywords or location/date specific keywords. For example, if your keyword is passive income, turn that into long tail keywords like: online passive income ideas, passive income ideas 2014, smart passive income on the internet, how to generate passive income, passive income in the UK, etc.

Hello, Malak:

The one keyword that I recommend you avoid is "job". I see some SFI affiliates advertising or promoting the SFI opportunity as a job, but it is not a job. It is a sales and marketing opportunity.

We are independent affiliates for SFI and our income depends on our success at generating sales and at recruiting and training others to generate sales.

The word "job" suggests that you are hired by the company and are paid by the company for the work you do for them.

However, as an independent affiliate, there is no guarantee of income (like there is when you are hired by and being paid by the company); it is entirely based on your efforts and success at generating sales.

Hi, Malak!

Your question is timely as it gives us a wake up call and helps us realize the impact of words used to attract to SFI prospects and potential affiliates.

There are two ways to answer your question.

(a) give you a list of keywords to avoid. But such a list will never be exhaustive, as there may be others words that may have the same negative effects. Further that list would be too long to be meaningful;

(b)it may be much more effective to identify the major issues that are related to keywords of negative impact. This way, you could avoid any words or expressions that could lead to those issues or associated to them.

There are five major problems to keep in mind:

1. Scams
The internet is replete with all kinds of scams. People are very weary about this. The words you should avoid those that may lead somebody that this is a scams.

2. Unrealistic Promises
There are dreamers out there who think that online business are easy to run and do not require much works. There are no many offers that make unrealistic promises. You do not want to be among those.

Thus, you should avoid any wording that may have connotations to the effect of the two above problems that are plaguing the Home Business online market.

3. Easy Work
You want to attract sign-ups that are motivated and will take this business seriously. Hence you should avoid any expressions that may mislead people to think that they will work on few hours a week.

4. Make Thousands a Month
We cannot make income promises. The size of the commissions we make here will fluctuate from one affiliate to the other, depending on their work ethics, their effectiveness as sponsors, team leaders and the way they operate their Tripleclicks stores.

5. Autopilot.
There already an Ask SC question formulated about putting SFI on autopilot. This requires advanced programming and is also fraught with potentials risks of inefficiencies and security breaches. More importantly, new comers should not be made believe that they can put their SFI Business on autopilot

These are the major areas to be aware of and avoid any wording that may be associated with them.

There are following concepts related to Keywords which helps in optimizing keywords on a web page.

Keyword Frequency:

This is calculated as how often does a keyword appear in a site's title or description. You don't want to go overboard with frequency, however, since on some engines if you repeat a word too many times, you'll be penalized for "spamming" or keyword stuffing.

In general though, repeat your keyword in the document as many times as you can get away with, and up to 3-7 times in your META tags.

Keyword Weight:

This refers to the number of keywords appearing on your Web page compared to the total number of words appearing on that same page. Some search engines consider this when determining the rank of your Web site for a particular keyword search.

One technique that often works well is to create some smaller pages, generally just a paragraph long, which emphasize a particular keyword. By keeping the overall number of words to a minimum, you will increase the "weight" of the keyword you are emphasizing.

Keyword Proximity:

This refers to the placement of keywords on a Web page in relation to each other or, in some cases, in relation to other words with a similar meaning as the queried keyword.

For search engines that grade a keyword match by keyword proximity, the connected phrase .home loans. will outrank a citation that mentions .home mortgage loans. assuming that you are searching only for the phrase "home loans".

Keyword Prominence:

A measure of how early or high up on a page the keywords are found. Having keywords in the first heading and in the first paragraph (first 20 words or so) on a page are best.
Keyword Placement:

WHERE your keywords are placed on a page is very important. For example, in most engines, placing the keywords in the Title of the page or in the Heading tags will give it more relevancy. On some engines, placing keywords in the link text, the part that is underlined on the screen in a browser, can add more relevancy to those words.

Best Places to Put Keywords:

Here is a list of places where you should try to use your main keywords.

Keywords in the <title> tag(s).

Keywords in the <meta name="description">

Keywords in the <meta name="keyword">

Keywords in <h1> or other headline tags.

Keywords in the <a href="http://yourcompany.com">keywords</a> link tags.

Keywords in the body copy.

Keywords in alt tags.

Keywords in <!-- insert comments here> comments tags.

Keywords contained in the URL or site address, e.g., http://www.keyword.com/keywordkeyword.htm.

Hello

The best keywords are 2 to 4 word phrases that accurately describe what you have to offer to your customers.

- Avoid Single-Word Terms:
Single word terms are usually a poor choice for optimizing. That's because they're too broad, and they're too competitive. Most SEO's won't touch single word terms for this reason. Two and three word phrases are not only easier to rank for, they send you much higher quality traffic.

- Avoid terms that are too broad and not focused to what you offer;

- Avoid terms that are too specific or specialized, which nobody searches for;

- Avoid terms that are unpopular;

- Avoid highly competitive terms;

So the trick is to find search terms that are highly relevant to what you offer, popular enough that they'll result in decent traffic to your site, but not so competitive that you can't rank well for them.

Tip: Consider word variants, and word order.

Hope it helps.

Hello Malak
Generally it is most important to think like a searcher. When we're searching for something ourselves, most of us know that one-word searches aren't very useful for getting the results we want. Also misspellings, odd spacing, and product feature-specific variations should be considered. The best keywords are 2- to 4-word phrases that accurately describe what you offer using everyday language that searchers are likely to type in, and which aren't so competitive. Excellent tool is Google Analytics since it has more detailed information than AdWords about specific keyword searches.
1. Avoid using too many “broad match” keywords
“Broad match,” which Google sets keywords to by default unless you select otherwise, will match to all kinds of words and phrases you would never expect. Choosing the match types “exact” or “phrase” will prevent this from happening.
2. Avoid using Single-word keywords
One-word searches aren't very useful for getting the results we want. When you try to search with a single-word you got a list of results that weren't what you wanted. But when you type at least two or three words in when doing searches the results will be more specific
3. Avoid using keywords that are too specific
Terms must be specific, but terms that are too specific are useless because nobody searches for them.
4. Avoid Not to use negative keywords
Negative keywords prevent your ads from being shown in a word or phrase search, when that search includes a keyword to exclude. By setting up negative keywords you are telling Google not to show your ads if the search matches those keywords
5. Avoid ultra competitive keywords
Maybe you prefer to use keywords that are both popular and highly relevant to what you actually offer. But if too many other sites are competing for that same term, you might not be able to rank well for it, or you might rank lower than you'd like.
I hope these help
