Finding Keywords and Search Phrases
[SEO Tips] Arguably the most important part of the optimization process is finding the correct keywords to target. If you target the wrong keywords you could be number 1 but if no one searches using the term then you will not be found.
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[WordPressCN] Blogging for Dollars(topic on the internet): It also helps if those products can be bought online and people are comfortable with it. One of my favorite topic sites (arguably slightly blog-like) is Kicksology. Professor K knows everything and anything about basketball shoes and about once a week I drop into the site to see what’s new in cutting edge shoe design. Often when I see a rave review on a cool looking shoe, I want to know how much it costs and if I can buy them.
[Ross Mayfield's Weblog] Content Industry Outlook: 2005 is about the 4 Cs. Cooperation, Commercialization, Containerization and Consolidations. Cooperation: publishers, advertisers and search partnering around highly contextual audiences, authors and markets (weblogs, wikis and social networks), institutional clients and content technologists, instiutions and public content outlets. Commercialization: Google Scholar, Rich Data mining technologies, monetizing in open contexts (Reuters.com, BBC/Moreover, CCC, ValeoIP), empower users as aggregators (RSS, desktop search, iPod, Weed, collaboration tools). Containerization: more options, DRM is the beginning of letting content be useful, but a taboo word, eBooks growing. Consolidation: Collapse of quality mass print circulation, titles search for identity in a search-centric ad world, huge multiples for key companies that fit (Capital IQ for functions, MarketWatch for ad pages).

A keyword is usually a word or phrase that people use to search for your type of website. If you target the wrong keyword you may end up as number one in the search engine rankings for that term.
[Spaces.msn.com] Blog: These Alt tags allow you to make your images matter. Most main navigation is image based so be sure to add appropriate Alt tags targeting your keywords to this very prominent area of your site. Another great place to add a link along with its Alt tag is in your header image. Linking this image to your URL adds the ability to make the first thing the spiders hit within your tables to at least hold some content that "matters" rather than simply a static image.
