Hi, I am new to seo and this may sound to be a stupid question...but how really is a keyword important to a website...while i believe that using the right keyword inside an article is important, i would like to know whether using the correct keyword in the meta tag has any bearing on the ranking??? And what is the safe number of keywords that can be used in the meta tags???i mean i can go on and add over 20-25 keywords related to my website...does this affect my ranking and importance in search engines?? Finally, where can i find a keyword suggestion tool especially for google...i believe overture and wordtracker use keyword database which is not related to google...please help me out..
Keywords are one of the most important things on any site. In you content title and meta tags. I would use 3 to 5 terms and not use same word over 3 times in title and meta tag. Overture and wordtracker work good. You could try adwords tool to see what terms pay alot. Then you know they are good but will be hard to get ranked on firts page of google.
Hi, Thanks for the quick reply...so using a tagline in the along with the site name is recommended for the title tag?? also is it important to use the correct keywords in the meta tag keywords...i had read some 3 months ago that google is now ignoring the keywords in the meta tag??
Keyword is very important in google search... so i suggest to you that look for some keywords that related to your sites...i think number of keywords may not take risk...
Hey there, Meta Keywords are not important in google search. However, keywords in title and content are important with google. Meta Keywords are important to yahoo, but not so much as they once were. If you do use meta keywords, I would limit yourself to 8 on a single page. The more keywords you have, the more your existing keywords get diluted. If you have to use more than 8, I would split your website into multiple pages. Sincerely, Travis Walters
So if for example i am writing an article on pyramids....the top 5 keywords according to search volume in adwords tool includes ancient egypt, giza and pyramid...so if i include any/all of the three keywords in the title...and also use them in the content, my article will be ranked higher than if i dont use them??? pls bear with me...my knowledge in this in null and am trying to learn
Yes keyword is most import to your site but you should choose theme related keyword and userfriendly.
The main aim behind SEO are Keywords.Most searched keywords will bring u good traffic and thereby earnings.
Keywords and keyword phrases are the most important elements in SEO because search engines select the site/web page that it displays according to what the user is actually searching. Keyword research/discovery must be done to know the correct keywords that are related to a site and its target visitors.
Keyword is really important to be able to rank in search engine and find your site by your targeted visitors.
Title tags are extremely important, then headers, then normal body text, then everything else. You may meet people (in other forums) who say keywords do not matter but that is at least not consistent with my experience.
