Keywords

 

Focus on the 4-6 keywords that you think are most important to your Web site, then ensure those words are both in your title and mentioned at the beginning of your Web page. Generally, most people will already have those words present on their Web pages but may not also have them in Web page titles. Choose the right keywords and the right description, then repeat those same words in the title, the META tags and the description of your Web Page.


Keywords are words or short phrases that describes your site, your products or services, or your site's content. Because this is the single largest factor determining whether a searcher will find your site, Web Site Hosting marketing highly recommends that you give careful consideration to your keyword selection. For now, remember that keywords are prioritized, i.e., the first word chosen is weighted more heavily than the second, the second more than the third, etc. Repetition does not add to your listing priority, nor does capitalization or repetitive punctuation. (For example: Hardware!!! Hardware!!! ). This is a critical, yet often overlooked or under utilized step in the registration process. By using smart keyword strategies, it is possible to 'blanket' a search engine with your site, ensuring maximum exposure. Use the most important words that your potential visitor might use to find your page. Use each keyword in lower case, singular and plural forms. Find additional keywords by searching search engines, checking your competitors' pages, or by finding the Top 10 pages related to your page information. Don't use common words. Don't repeat keywords - neither in phrases nor as separate keywords. You may use both singular and plural forms of the same word or use a keyword as part of another word.

Note: Why only 6 keywords?  Many search engines limit the number of keywords or characters. This, however, does not apply to META tags. You can have as many keywords as desired in your META tags. Simply choose the 6 most important for use with your title and the first paragraph of the web page it self.  You can use more keywords in your Meta Tags. But still some search engines have rules that apply to the number of keywords you may include in their submissions robots!
