Hi all friends, i want to start my sentences with wishing very nice new year 2010! Now my question. I read that keywords aren't important now for search engines. But i still believe that keywords are important for us. So i try to be very careful to choose my keywords. But i don't know one thing about choosing keyword. Should we use similar keywords? Subject: Free pencil For ex for keywords: Free pencil, free pencil bleu, free pencils, free pencils red,.... Do you advise me to choose keywords like that? i used " free pencil " 4 times in keywords, is it normal and logic? If you can give me your advises, ideas for new website, it will help us. Thanks for all.
Hi mexfi571.. Keywords ARE important. Everything on the internet is keyword driven. It is not practical to teach keyword research in a forum post. It would help you to learn the basics of IM. Part of that includes keywords, how to perform the research, how to use them, etc. Good luck!!
I don't want to learn all details of keyword importance in forums. The best way, try yourself and find right way for your site. I'm amateur but now i have some ideas about keywords, description, titel,.... I just gave an example. If it is true to use or not? Using similar words in all keywords? If someone can help me for that, i'll be sure for my way. Thanks a lot.
You made the statement "keywords aren't important now for search engines". In my previous post, I am trying to tell you that "keywords ARE important". Use similar words or not? Use your exact keywords in your Title and H1 tags and a few times in the text. Your similar words can be used in the text (content) of your page. In fact, those similar words will appear automatically in your text if you just write normally. Don't try to force those words.
Yes i accept too, keywords are very important if you use *correctly*. I'll give an example: Subject: Free pencil For ex for keywords: Free pencil, free pencil bleu, free pencils, free pencils red,.... Is it ok to use " free pencil" in all keywords or each keywords should have different words? I ask this question as an example, otherwise i know, for each subject, it changes. Thanks for answer.
That depends on what you are doing and where. You example is ok to use in an Adwords campaign. But it would NOT be ok if you were using those in an article or on a content page on your website. If you are talking about content pages you would want to pick one main one such as free pencil bleu, and write content around that keyword for that page. Then have another page written around free pencils red.
I think same with you for red or bleu. We should write different articles. And what is your idea for plural of words. Should we use plurals? Google really prefer exact keywords or it accepts plural words? Subject : wood Pencil bleu For ex: Pencil blue, pencils bleu,wood pencil bleu, woods pencils blue,wood pencils bleu... Even if i don't use "pencils/woods" in my article, should i use "pencils/woods" words in my keywords?It helps to get more traffic? And an advise, new site owners should evite use general keywords. They don't have any chance. Thanks a lot.
If you use keyword research tools you should use the exact words/phrase that shows up in the results. If you look closely, sometimes using the plural gets more than twice the amount of searches. And other times the singular version may get twice the amount. So, you need to use the exact results that show up.
If you are using google keyword tool, its always good to check exact and phrase matches aside from broad which is the default option. You will see great differences in search volume between the three
