Hello biz lady friends! Do you have about 3 minutes to take a quick survey? We'd sure appreciate it...We're collecting data to help meet your needs with workshops & teleseminars. Thank you so much!  Click Here to take survey.

May has been a great month so far. We hosted a successful, live workshop last week on several key business topics, met some new Christian women in business & have spent time in prayer & planning mode. Out of our planning sessions comes a new teleseminar opportunity for Christian women in business, no matter where you may live. Read on for more details.

     What Are Keywords?    by Krista Dunk

If you've been in business a while or on the internet a lot, you've probably heard the term "keywords". So, what are keywords anyway, and why should you give a hoot?  First of all, if you are a business owner or have a website of some kind, you should most definitely give a hoot! Why? Simply put, keywords are the search terms or phrases that people use when they are doing online research on some kind of topic, or are searching for a product or service. Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other types of search engine sites specialize in finding what you and others are looking for (search results) when typing "keywords" in.

Practical example: Let's say you're going on vacation to Maui (you can tell where my mind is at today). You are bringing your kids with you, and need to find information about island activities for children. You might type in something like these phrases or words:

"Maui kid activities"
"Activities for children on Maui"
"Kid-friendly Maui", etc.

Or maybe you're planning a honeymoon. It doesn't really matter, because the principle is the same with any potential search/research topic. Words are typed in, thus becoming "keywords". If you own a website, blog, shop online site, or would like to in the future, it's imperative that you know what keywords your potential customers are using. Your information needs to show up in their search results. Although this is really a more complicated subject, hopefully you understand the basic meaning of keywords now. We'll be covering more about this topic during the SEO topic in our teleseminar series.

Use this handy link for some keyword experiments of your own - Google keyword search tool. Test it out! Type in a word related to your industry, product or service and see what happens...It's fun and interesting!
