It’s the keywords, stupid

Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign against George Bush – the elder – coined the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid”. The slogan was originally intended to remind the campaign workers to talk about fundamentals – ie the economy. Politicians often like to talk about more exciting stuff; the next war, the next election or the latest scandal. Search marketing is no different. We know keywords are important and fundamental – and yet most of the time we talk about other stuff; the latest search engine testing, the potential for A to buy B or the departure of a key search engine executive to a new ‘start-up’.

Andy Atkins Kruger talks about the different keywords used in different European countries.

Insightful article, but coulda been a little less self-promotional in the article. Save it for the byline imho.

Yeah, in German you actually can make up new words using old ones so the vocabulary is huge.

Sorry Gab that you thought I was being self-promotional - I thought I was providing case studies.  I'll bear that comment in mind in future!  It can be difficult to provide colour without examples...
