| 472350 | 2006-07-20 17:39:00 | Key phrases are more important than key words, unless you're Google or Microsoft et al. An example is one of my sites that has a unique phrase, and naturally if it's googled then the site ends up top of the list of results: "unleashing the bokazoo" |

| 472351 | 2006-07-20 18:57:00 | Wow, I didnt even know there was a such thing as keyword spoofing... Much less that it would tick google off... lol | CorbinH (37) | ||
| 472352 | 2006-07-20 22:16:00 | My how things change. I thought the whole point of putting keywords inside the definition tags at the top was because that's what search engines looked at rather than the body of the text. :confused: | mark c (247) | ||
| 472353 | 2006-07-21 00:22:00 | what about the comment tags? Will google look inside those? you could just put like <!-- Keywords: word1, word2, phrase -->? | CorbinH (37) | ||
| 472354 | 2006-07-21 01:46:00 | My how things change. I thought the whole point of putting keywords inside the definition tags at the top was because that's what search engines looked at rather than the body of the text. Those were the days. The reason for Google's popularity is that they make it very hard to exploit the results of a search. And good on them. Meta keywords still have some significance, but I'd guess they rate only about 1 percent of the most popular algorithms that the top search engines use. |

| 472355 | 2006-07-21 02:30:00 | TY revealing my ignorance Greg. I made a few websites years ago (in HTML) so's I could understand how it all worked but I obviously haven't kept up. :( | mark c (247) | ||
| 472356 | 2006-07-21 03:39:00 | Meta keywords do have some significance, and it is a good idea to use keywords as well as the description and title - these do sometimes show up in the results listing. It seems to have a lot more to do with your actual content - so using keywords in your actual text is the way to go. The naming conventions of your pages help as well. i.e. instead of giving them generic names like "page1.html" name them "hotwater-flask.html" Links to your site also have a baring - the higher the ranking of the linking site the more weight your site gets. There are a lot of google theories, as to which to believe, who knows ;) |

| 472357 | 2006-07-26 22:40:00 | I would probably stick to the google theories from google. No idea what the link is atm (can't be bothered looking :p), but they have a page. They Keywords meta tag carries the least weight I believe. The description is more important. I think the meta description is what shows visibly on a search engine, so even if it doesn't affect your search engine results much, it affects the people reading the search. ** Just found some VERY good SEO resources. Read these links yourself (as I just made the above stuff up :p) www.sitepoint.com <-- Brilliant www.sitepoint.com |

| 472358 | 2006-07-27 04:25:00 | For keywords to be of any use they must be also in the body text on the main page. Keywords just in the meta section are not indexed. Tips for keyword optimisation... 1 Use your keywords in your Heading tags (h1 h2 h3 etc) 2 Make your headings small phrases that people search for, "Keep your food hot" "Hot food containers" 3 Put that text back in your body text below the headings. 4 repeat the keywords on your page up to about 7 times. (don't get accused of "keyword stuffing") 5 make short pages with only one topic per page, text on one topic up to about 50 words or so 6 make your pics names out of keywords hot_water_flask.jpg 7 make your page names from your keywords hot_water_flask.htm (no spaces) 8 make your domain name from your heywords Hot-water-flasks.com I am sure there are more tricks like this as well.... |
