There are multiple ways to self advertise using your keywords as well. Including but not limited to social book-marking, posting articles in forums, and posting articles on free article sites.
Expanding your keywords to include key phrases that encompass the basic idea of your product or service will also broaden your chances of the search engine used to pick up and display your website when the words are searched. To emphasize the importance of keywords and key phrases, take the following example into account. If a florist wants to increase the number of times their business appears on the search engine, they add specific key word or phrases many people will use to find that type of services. Such as flowers, roses or bouquets. Phrases include, "buy flowers", "need bouquet", "inexpensive roses", etc. By using a variety of key words and/or key phrases of the same type, these businesses are displayed on the search engines results.
