Google it. I don't know about poisons, but if you think you can rank against the sites that are listed by google for that keyword, more power to ya!
What do you mean by "poison keyword"? I'm #6 for "search engines" on MSN, #129 on Yahoo, and #403 on Google. I just wish I could swap those.
No. A while back, people were getting worried about so-called "stop words". Now it's "poison keywords". I don't think they exist outside of SEO software that is trying to convince people you can't do SEO without the software. For example, in addition to "search engine", some people and certain SEO programs are claiming the word "forum" is a poison keyword. Total nonsense! Do a search for "<insert word of your choice> forum" or "<insert word of your choice> forums" -- how many returns do you get? Do you see any evidence that the word is "poison"? These are myths created by superstition, hysteria, and SEO software marketing people. Ignore them.
I just have been confronted for a first time with this issue, testing my web site today http://www.webnauts.net with a Meta Tags Analyzer here: http://www.widexl.com/remote/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html
That's my point, Webnauts. Either stop using those programs (you don't need them and many are either out-of-date or never-in-date in their advice) or take the output from the programs with a grain of salt.
Thank you all for your kind responses. By the way I thought that I must mention, that my prior service and target keyphrase is "web site accessibility", and today I had the results: Google #34 of 102,000,000 - Yahoo #13 of 23,700,000 - MSN #3 of 385,001 Am I doing well there?
Not too shabby, Webnauts. Suggestion: make sure you also target "website accessibility" and "internet accessibility". (By the way, are you the same Webnauts who used to be (or maybe still is) at WPW?)
Yes Minstrel. I am still moderating at WPW. And thanks for the tips. But worth to mention, for the keyphrase "website accessibility" I am at Google at #43 of 118,000,000.
No, no, no. You don't sign up there, Scott. You sign up here at Coop Ad Network Signup Link. Scott, just look for anyone who has a signature link for the Coop here and click on one of their other site links.
Hi Webnauts, No. It can be used on regular sites as well. I have it on my site: www championachiever com regards, sam.
Its for all sites...html,php, and even some asp code floating around. Theres more about it here though
But if you want the REAL info on it, check HERE. The link yfs1 gave you does have some information but I think you'll find it's woefully inadequate
