May be lot of you know this already but I wanted to share my learning experience with newbies. One month ago, I used keywords in URL e.g. www.garypedia.com/realest/reo/dallas.php. Keywords in this URL are REO and dallas. I used same keywords in title, meta description and footer. Within one month, my page ranked 6th in Google. Naturally it boosted my Adsense earnings. Note: reo and dallas are highlighted(BOLD) in google search results, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS231US231&q=reo+bank+owned+properties+in+dallas&btnG=Search But still rich content is the KING to make google happy.
good content always helps.. but it can't guarantee search result rank... good content that many ppl will link to thus building lots of backlinks is great for seo
Thanks for the tip. It's also good to use variations or synonyms of your main keyword in the content.
