I am creating a website on a subject which I love. The subject as many, many keywords which I would like to rank for. I have some questions regarding keywords and adding them for On-Page SEO: Is it okay to use thousands of keywords that are related to the main keyword all over my website. For example each little keyword will have it's own page and only on that page the keyword will be added via On-Page SEO. Every page will have only one keyword that will be related to the whole site. Also what methods can I use to add keywords to the web-pages? I have a brief idea. However I would like more information on how to add them, and possible other way I missed out. I have: Title Tags. Meta Tags. Use H Tags. Good relevant content. I would like more information on meta tags, and how to add them. Also any other method that I missed out please share. Thanks, BlueEew.
Onpage optimization should utilize the: Title, Meta: keywords & description (even though google says they aren't putting much weight on them), h1-hx tags are nice and let the search engines know the weight (importance) of the content on the page (h1 obviously getting the most weight) Some other tags/attributes that should be used are the 'title' tag for links, the 'alt' tag for images In general if you write quality content you don't need to focus on optimizing as it will come naturally. You should optimize for your visitor experience and by doing so you'll also optimize for the search engines.
As long as your website contains keyword-rich content you should be fine. As you said - Title tags and H1 headers contribute to the on-page SEO. Meta tags aren't so important but it's always a good idea to add them. See the following links for a Meta tag generator and some more information on Meta tag SEO: http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/meta-tag-generator/ http://www.ewriting.pamil-visions.com/2009/02/19/meta-description-tag/ Also make sure the URL structure is optimized and contains the keyword, for example: www.mainkeywod.com/keyword1 www.mainkeywod.com/keyword1/keyword2 If you will be creating a separate page for each keyword, then it would also be effective to deeplink to your subpages with the relevant anchor text.
You hit on all the big ones... Meta elements have zero effect at Google on rankings and little impact if any at other search engines (it depends on the engine).. However, meta description elements are still important and should be optimized to get them to show often as snippets in the Google SERPs. The meta description should include all keywords if possible from your <title> since these "should" be the keywords/keyword phrases used most often to find the page if you've optimized it properly. If ALL keywords in the search phrase appear in your meta description then Google will typically show it as the snippet. So having all words from the <title> in the meta description should maximize the number of times it is shown as the snippet at Google. If only some words from the search phrase appear in the meta description then Google will typically construct their own meta description from fragments of content from the page. You also want a call to action in the meta description so that when it IS shown in the SERPs as the snippets, people will want to click on it. As far as meta keywords, I only put them in my pages for completeness sake... LOL And the fact that it is flagged as a searchable field in my CMS.
So im im using the title tag for the title i.e. <title> Whats the difference? Where does H2, 3 and 4 go?
Hi, BlueEew I would recommend '50 kick-ass keyword strategies' from Aaron Wall for this purpose. Have a nice day,
putting keywords every where can adversely effect the rankings, over on-page optimization is not good.
use only 5 main keywords on your meta section. you want your content to look original, organic and written for your visitors not to trick spiders to rank your site better. If you put so many keywords on meta you may get flaged for spamming. My best advise again is to use 5 major keywords to help the spiders understand your content better and add description to your homepage, normally upto 500 words paragraphed to include all the keywords you want your website to rank
