We hear a lot about keywords and importance of it. Who are we? People, who want to have a business online and get attention from big brother Google. People, who want to sell products, share information, spread a word about their hobbies. Visitors or customers, who come to our websites, searching for information, services or products.
If you take a look in Wikipedia terms, it would be
- Keyword (linguistics), word which occurs in a text more often than we would expect to happen by chance alone
- Keyword (computer programming), name or identifier that has a particular meaning to the word used as the key determine the letter matchings of the cipher alphabet to the plain alphabet
- Index term, a term used as a keyword to retrieve documents in an information system such as a catalog or a search engine
- Keyword (rhetoric), a word that academics use to reveal the internal structure of an author’s reasoning
- Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society, 1976 non-fiction book by Raymond William
You see that it is not so complicating. Wikipedia explains everything. This keyword word has more meanings, as we would think, not just typing word for Kindle or toy on Amazon.
How does it work?
Anyway, to those people, who want navigate on the Internet, a keyword is a word, which describes searched object. For example, if we look for best TV, a keyword will be best TV. To do it successfully, for us is enough to type description of a keyword in a search box.
To put in a simple way, when I want to buy best TV, I write best TV in Google’s search box.
From this quest, it seems like a lots information here. I can not tell which TV is best for me. Why? Because here so many TV, which could be best in various categories, such as size, design, brand, more services.
What kind of meaning is for us? It means hat we need to narrow our search by our desires when we look for best TV. What it looks best to you, to your friend or grandparents can be a different understanding, what is best for them. Apple TV could be best in design and performance group, but if somebody wants TV for watching sports? TV, which is big by size?
If I look for biggest TV and type these words, I will get my results for most the major television. If I want TV by brand, I will get searches by brand.
It means, when we narrow search criteria by our means, we can find everything that fits our desires. Google and other search engines such as Bingo, could give us all information, what we need. Most important, what we do need to know, what we want and for what we are looking. Sounds simple, is not?
Search engines listen to you. Just you need to know what are you looking.

Hi Nemira, you’re definitely right on spot when you mentioned having the need to ‘narrow’ down your keyword searches.. Also, I see that you have a good list of motivational books – that’s something that I seldom see on people’s websites so good on you for providing that! I think reading is an important part of improving one’s lifestyle and you’re on the right track.. good luck!
Hello Leona, thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. When I checked on Jaaxy, I was amazed how many keywords this tool can offer, just entering one phrase. There you can see domains, which are available for websites. Fascinating. Yes, I am avid reader. There are just small portion of books from my library. For me they are worth of gold. Cheers, Nemira.
Years ago when I first got into sales and copywriting, you had to make educated guesses about what people wanted to buy and why.
Now with a good keyword tool, anyone can find out in minutes. I am forever amazed how quickly I can determine what people are searching for on the internet with the Jaaxy keyword tool.
Jaaxy makes finding the profitable keywords easy and fun. In fact, it’s a little addicting. It’s so fast, I find myself brainstorming just for fun.
Hello, thanks for visiting and input. Before Wealthy Affiliate my knowledge about keywords was dim, because I did not used any keyword tools. Jaaxy is really efficient as complex feature not just for keywords, but as the tool, which helps with rank, suggestions for long tail keywords.
I read,that Kyle, co-owner of Wealthy Affiliate, searches on his phone keywords, when waiting in line. Looks that is really addicting.
Overall, knowing keywords and importance of it, we can better serve to customer. We can offer for him information and products, which were searched on engines, such as Google, Bingo or Safari.
All the best, Nemira.
Hi Nemira,
I can see that if I want to get more people to my blog then I will have to worry more about keywords. I haven’t particularly prioritized it at this point. I appreciate the advice such as having it in the title, first paragraph and so on. I will take a look at your keyword tool article as well because that is going to be pivotal for me going forward. Thanks for the article it was a great read.

Hello Anthony, thanks for input. It is great that you understand importance of keywords, because without them we could not get right visitors to our websites. Customers would not find things or services what they look for. I think that big help with research for right keywords is Jaaxy. This tool completes a lot functions such as brainstorming, ability to get a domain for particular keyword; we even can know ranking of our websites.
Overall it takes time and research for right keywords for your niche, because they can be unique, but if nobody is interested in it, nobody will look for information in our blogs.
All the best in your endeavors, good luck, Nemira.
You’re right, things pretty much revolve around keywords. We can have a lot of quality content, keywords are what bring people to our website to read that quality content. I think that keywords and having quality content are both equally important in an online business. One without the other, it just doesn’t fit well, something’s missing.
It is interesting because previously, before Internet, we looked for particular world in the catalogs of library or we searched newspapers and magazines. Always we had in mimd words which were associated with important content for us. Nowadays it is easier. We can pick a Jaaxy and after couple minutes we will fid best websites which contain searched information for us.
Cheers, Nemira.
