A wrong selection of keywords may ruin your entire seo work as whatever you will do after it will be based on these keywords. So you must be careful at this first and far most important point.

The following points can be helpful for finding the appropriate keywords for a given website:

  1. Analyze the website: By analyzing the website make sure not to leave even a single corner of the website's content and images. Extract all the important words from it. Prepare an excel sheet, make as much different phrases as possible from the extracted keywords. Eliminate all those phrases which do not have the words used on the web page. Repeat this process to get the most appropriate and relevant keywords list.

  2. Industry Knowledge: To select industry specific and relevant keywords you should have the knowledge of that particular industry which the website belongs to. If you don't have knowledge of that industry you can get it by visiting some of the same industry website.

  3. Keyword Generator Tools: There are a number of tools available on web, which can help you getting the target keywords as per your requirement. Adwords keyword tools, Wordtracker are some of them where you can get the relevant keywords by just supplying one single keyword or your website URL.
