To find that data, you really need to harness the metrics from your own, unique and "private" server logs, rather than third party keyword tools. Take care, Ken Free keyword tools are a great start, but the most reliable keyword research is derived from “real” traffic and “actual” keywords that trigger specific actions on your own website.

To find that data, you really need to harness the metrics from your own, unique and “private” server logs, rather than third party keyword tools.

Take care,
Ken

Everyone knows that keywords are important etc, but I bet when it comes down to it most bloggers are feeling their way around in the dark as far as actually identifying specific ones. I tried this technique quite awhile back, and once I'd optimised for the keywords I identified, those pages definitely got a lot more search-engine traffic than before. The only reason I don't do it more is that it's time-consuming! Barry, thanks for the clear and practical advice.

Since you cover web design in Your Blog, I thought you might be interested in a study that my nonprofit published this summer about how people find information online. The study covers three groups: non-profit organizations and cities; web designers and firms; and the general public. The study was fascinating on a number of levels, and I invite you to read the executive summary or download a PDF of the findings at http://www.idea.org/find-information.html . The survey results sparked ideas about tools we could provide that might make finding information online easier. This fall, we will start beta testing a cool new new navigational tool. I don't have your email, so if you are interested, you can sign up for our beta here: http://www.spicynodes.org/ or to stay abreast of our (very) occasional new projects, you can get our newsletter here: http://www.idea.org/newsletter.html Thanks, Michael Dear Barry,

I found that keywords, related at what you've said about keywords 'web design', push a page in SERP, especially if are used h1,h2,h3,h4 tags. I know that it's known this by every good SEO, but when you have the proof feel different the experience :) . I like that you write in detail the steps for searching keywords.
