You can also know about the popularity of the keyword phrase you choose for your website by checking at Google Trends. Moreover, you should write the keyword phrases, which are easy to search and read, for every page of your website to make it easy for the searchers.

The links should highlight the keywords of your web pages and should invite the searcher more appropriately to go through them. Links from other websites to your website also help in determining your page rank, which can be improved by swapping relevant text links with other websites.
