  Tips:
• Since choosing the right keywords is basic to your website’s success, you need to target the right keywords by researching your line of business in a general sense. Note down all your findings and look for words most relevant to your site.
• Keep searching for more specific keywords. With the words on your list, create a keyword combination and write them down.
• Now, think of all the synonyms that people would use to locate sites in your line of business. Do a research now, as if you were a customer.
• This should give you a longer list of relevant and usable keywords. Optimize your pages using these words. Next, create new pages and optimize them for the missing keyword combinations and create a link to them from your existing pages.

If you want to do keyword research in a concerted manner, use Keyword Discovery. Search their vast database of terms that people usually look for and get hundreds of keyword combinations, search for common misspellings and check out the popularity of all search words. All these tools will improve your targeted traffic to your website.
