Do You Think My SEO Company Is Trying to Get Over On Me With These Keywords?

Question by O’Neal C: Do You Think My SEO Company Is Trying to Get Over On Me With These Keywords?
Hello Yahoo Answers!

I’ve hired an SEO Company for my blog. They concentrate on small businesses and I’ve given them a shot after getting a good sales pitch.

Anyway, I’m still learning the fundamentals of proper Keyword research. And, from what I do know, it seems as though the company have chosen particular keyword phrases that are not of value to me.

My blog is about “college advice and tips.” They gave me the targeted keywords of: help with learning and learning help.

Would someone please be kind enough to do some research and see if these would be of value to me? I did Google keyword research, and maybe it’s just me, but those phrases are horrible and not profitable at all!

Any advice guys? Could you tell me why or why not it’s a good keyword?

Thanks!

Hi,
to better help you, can you answer the following:
- are your potential clients before college?
- are you helping them choose a college?
- are you helping them choose a major?

- are your potential clients in college?
- do you help them with studies
- do you help them with day to day living (Like minimize food cost, rent cost etc)

    It seems like they misunderstand what your blog is about. “college advice and tips” sounds like a blog about how to choose a college or how to succeed in college. The keywords they picked sound like they are targeted toward a tutoring site.

    If you don’t offer tutoring help or learning help then these keywords may bring you traffic but traffic that doesn’t do anything is as worthless as no traffic. So I would get them to adjust the phrases they are trying. Maybe do the phrase college tips it gets 1,600 searches a month or tips for college freshmen which gets 390 searches a month. These my small numbers but getting targeted traffic is better then just getting loads of traffic from anywhere. I would focus down on phrases such as these and work to reach your targeted audience
