(1).Relevance: This is a percentage value from 0-100, representing how likely a search term is to reach your target audience. Use your best judgment, and input a value from 0-100. 0% means that the search term is completely irrelevant, 100% means that everyone using that search term is looking for what your site offers. A helpful question to ask is “how many people using this search term would find my site relevant? For instance, if you provide auto repair services, “auto repair” may not be 100% relevant. Some people using that search term will be looking for “does it yourself” information; some will be looking for what you offer, etc. If your site also offers resources for the “do it yourselfer”, such as a directory of helpful web sites, this increases your site’s significance.

(2).Search Term: Search terms are the phrases that search engine user’s type in to search engines when performing arts a search. Search terms are sometimes referred to as “search phrases” and are made up of one or more keywords. Using pertinent modifiers such as brand names (Sony) place names (Chicago) and widespread adjectives (cheap, free) along with your search terms will help get better your search engine place.

(3).Count: This is the number of searches over the past 2 months from keyword tracking services and data from the Dog pile and met crawler search engines. The predictable search counts for all other search engines are based on their relative share of the search market.

(4).Weighted: The weighted count is simply the original count, multiplied by the percentage value you have entered in the Relevance column. If 100 people a day are using the listed search term, but it is only 50% relevant, this column will show a calculated value of 50.

(5).G/Day: This figure represents the predictable daily number of targeted searches on the Google search engine, based on the % relevance you have input.

(6).M/Day: This figure represents the estimated daily number of targeted searches on the MSN search engine, based on the % relevance you have input.

(7).Y/Day: This figure represents the estimated daily number of targeted searches on the Yahoo search engine, based on the % relevance you have input.

(8).Note: Since Google, MSN and Yahoo do not make precise figures available; this estimate is based on a comparison of their individual market share vs. those search engines which make their search counts available to us.
