A friend of mine emailed me the other day and asked a very basic question about a term that gets tossed around the affiliate marketing industry pretty loosely.
He asked me what it means to “own” a keyword or phrase. I have to admit that I have used this term here in the past without much thought about how vague it really is.
Why are Keywords Important
If you are using search engines to obtain and drive traffic to your affiliate marketing websites, SEO (search engine optimization) is very important to your livelihood.
When people use a search engine to find information, they enter words or phrases into the search engine. These words or phrases are keywords and key phrases.
The basic concept behind SEO is if you create a web page targeted toward a specific word sequence or phrase and design it in a certain way, search engines will rank your website highly in search results for that keyword.
That means when people search in a site like Google, your web page is ranked near the top of the results, gaining you free website traffic and free money if you monetize it properly.
So Keywords Determine Search Engine Ranking?

If you frequent this blog, you may have noticed that we have added a new sponsor in the sidebar – Newegg.com.
Newegg is well knows as a great source for computer technology at great prices, but a lot of people don’t realize that Newegg is more than just computers and parts.
Newegg is a great source for home A/V equipment, TVs, digital cameras, gaming systems, and a whole lot more that I don’t have time to mention here.
Help support this blog by visiting their website and browsing around. Compare anything they have to the prices at stores like Best Buy and you will quickly see why they are successful!
