People use Google search to find products and services by entering keywords associated with the items that they are looking for.  These are primary keywords that are known as category keywords which websites use in their web page titles and header files.

Search engine analysis data is information accumulated over time about website related search activities.

• Search engine analysis data is backward looking and is often either in accurate or out of date.

• The most useful basic information is the keyword related competition, daily traffic, regional traffic distribution and traffic trends.

• Selecting an SEO tool or SEO services is like buying a mutual fund or stock, past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
  

• Many SEO tools simply repackage information that can be easily found on the web for free.

• Not all search engine categories attract significant search traffic.
  

• Many category keywords should be avoided.

Select a search engine category with an undervalued keyword which has visitor traffic.
