2) Group your target keywords into market sectors. So, for example, if your website is an online garden center you might categorize your keywords into groups, including the following:

• seeds
• plants
• garden furniture
• water features
• barbecues
• etc, etc…

3) Focus your link building work on each market sector in turn, eg barbecues, water features. For each of those, you might further refine your target keywords into keyword niches, eg for barbecues, this could include:

• gas barbecues
• charcoal barbecues
• portable barbecues
• barbecue accessories
• etc, etc…

A keyword niche is all keywords containing a seed keyword, eg the gas barbecues keyword niche includes camping gas barbecues and natural gas barbecues.
