We are a SEM Blog and so we should be targeting that key term. Is it popular though? Personally, I’m not 100% sure about it, unless others agree.
I went to Google Adwords Keyword Tool and found that the term “SEM Blog” achieves 14,800 Global Monthly Searches. It is deemed a “High Advertiser Competition” keyword, so I would say it is quite a good term to target. It also has about 8 million results, so it is a fair amount to top.
There are 160 separate websites for Google Search Engine. They are the site’s ccTLD‘s and the Google.com is the major one. For time reasons, and purpose, I won’t go through all of them, but with the ones I have listed as countries with traffic to SEM Reach, I will search “SEM Blog”…

4 Ways to get Banned by Google
To be banned by Google does have a devastating effect on your site’s performance. Some don’t even know they have been banned. If you are worried, you can find out through simple methods.

Various people mention that the .com extension ranks better than any other extension. People say that a .com extension is worth more than any other extension. Both statements are not true, nor are they false.

To stress it once more, Google’s focus is on the content of the site as well as many other search engines. …
