Keyword research provides valuable insight into the queries that your target audience is actually searching on
Google. The insight that you can get into these actual search terms can help inform content strategy as well
as your larger marketing strategy.
People use keywords to find solutions when conducting research online. So if your content is successful in
getting in front of our audience as they conduct searches, you stand to gain more traffic. Therefore, you
should be targeting those searches.
In addition, in the inbound methodology, we don't create content around what we want to tell people; we
should be creating content around what people want to discover. In other words, our audience is coming to
us.

EXPLAIN CANONICAL TAG ? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR SEARCH
ENGINE OPTIMIZATION.
A canonical tag (aka "rel canonical") is a way of telling search engines that a specific URL represents
the master copy of a page. Using the canonical tag prevents problems caused by identical or "duplicate"
content appearing on multiple URLs. Practically speaking, the canonical tag tells search engines which
version of a URL you want to appear in search results.
Duplicate content is a complicated subject, but when search engines crawl many URLs with identical (or
very similar) content, it can cause a number of SEO problems. First, if search crawlers have to wade
through too much duplicate content, they may miss some of your unique content. Second, large-scale
duplication may dilute your ranking ability. Finally, even if your content does rank, search engines may
pick the wrong URL as the "original." Using canonicalization helps you control your duplicate content.

WHAT ARE ANCHOR TEXTS ? WHAT ROLE DOES ANCHOR TEXT
HAVE IN SEO.
The accessible text in a hyperlink is called anchor text. Anchor texts assist users in
understanding the purpose of the page. If keywords are used, it also has SEO value. However,
if you are too optimized, Google may penalize you.
Natural anchor text is vital, as is variety, such as branded, long tail, picture links, partial and
precise matches. Search engines utilize anchor text to determine the page's context to which
it is connected. This has some SEO significance in determining what the site is about for
search engines.
