SEO Key Word
The SEO significance of the Key Word "catholic"
This article helps those who write
Catholic articles to understand the search engine
optimization (SEO) advantage of using the key word
"catholic" over the use of the key phrase "roman catholic".
Although the key phrase "roman catholic"
is an official term that defines an official
religion under the leadership of the Roman
Pontiff, there is a sense of universality
and inclusivity found in the use of the
key word "catholic". On the level of SEO,
it has more advantages for one's Catholic
web site and blog.
Advantage of using the key word "catholic"
the key word "catholic" is more inclusive in meaning
as it also refers to Anglicans, Eastern rite Catholics,
and all the Christian churches in communion with the Holy
See
the key word "catholic" also refers to a religious
culture that is lived and propagated by many adherents
all over the world
the key word "catholic" is rooted in a Greek term
meaning "universal" or "general" - thus having a
connotation of expansiveness and global in scope
the key phrase "roman catholic" is much more specific
in its meaning as it refers to a religion that is
centralized in the Vatican: the seat of the papacy
the key phrase "roman catholic" is a religious culture
that brings associated meanings of formalization of things
liturgical and documentation of all things didactic
the key phrase "roman catholic" means all those
who adhere to the Latin rite and who are bonded together
under the leadership of the Roman Pontiff
Using the key word "catholic" in Catholic articles
Although those who belong to the Roman Catholic faith
are free to use whichever key word or key phrase they want,
in terms of using the key word on the Web, there is
a greater advantage to using "catholic" rather than
"roman catholic". As has been listed above, using the
key word "catholic" has a greater advantage, because it
addresses an audience that is more inclusive in their
set of thinking. The audience addressed will generally
be more open in their attitude towards the contents
of the Catholic article.
Advantage in terms of SEO (search engine optimization)
For those who are very familiar with search engine
optimization, at this point of time, there are more
who search for the Catholic faith using the key word
"catholic" rather than the key phrase "roman catholic".
This is very important as the key word "catholic"
is more popularly used as a search term
in the search engines. (It is also more widely used
in Catholic articles - without the specifying term
"roman"). Since the key word "catholic" is searched more
often, it would be to the advantage of your small Catholic
web site and blog to use of this key word in one's Catholic
articles.
Advantage in terms of target market and audience
Since the key word "catholic" connotes a broader
and wider meaning than "roman catholic", it is more
likely that those who have web sites filled with
Catholic articles, will generate more traffic to their sites because of
the popularity and inclusiveness of this key word. Your target market
and audience will be wider as attested by keywords online tools who
report the key word "catholic" as searched more often in many parts
of the world.
The use of the key phrase "roman catholic"
creates a very specific market and target audience.
With the term "catholic", you can be more flexible
in your use of key phrases, and address a wider audience
on the Web.
The term "catholic" connotes a greater spirit of
reconciliation, unity, and interreligious dialogue.
The past administration of John Paul II emphasized
mission and holiness in its teaching. As regards mission,
John Paul II was very much concerned with creating
bonds of unity, peace and friendship, especially in
a world that is very much divided and embroiled in so
many conflicts and wars. As regards the internet,
John Paul II wanted the proclamation of the gospel
over the internet as a way of creating bonds of peace.
As of this time, the key word which creates a more open
attitude in the internet towards the Catholic faith, is the
key word "catholic". In many cases, especially in lists
and forums, the key phrase "roman catholic" creates a
reaction of irritation, anger or rebellion. Therefore, to
minimize these experiences, it is much more prudent to
use the key word "catholic" in one's Catholic articles.
By the use of the key word "catholic", we truly make
the internet a forum for creating bonds of peace and unity.
It bridges people together rather than divides.
Summary
We only need to remember the flexibility, popularity, and greater
acceptability of the key word "catholic".
We realize and know that in terms of meaning and SEO
(search engine optimization), we not only create an open and
inclusive spirit in our Catholic articles, but we are able
to creatively compose key phrases and enter into many internet
niches on the Web. Entrance into these internet niches
will generate more targetted
traffic to a small Catholic web site and Catholic blog.
As for the key phrase "roman catholic", we can reserve the
key phrase for commenting on the official documents and
news on the Roman Catholic Church.
