I am pretty new to website designing/marketing/etc. It looks like I have been going about keywords all wrong. I was reading through the forums, and I just needed some clarification on a few things: Now that I know what I am doing, I have checked for a few keywords: free online game, play arcade game, ultimate arcade, arcade town using some tools on DP. They all seem to be getting a good number of hits, and when I searched for them on google, they yield about less than 4mill results (still insanely high, but good for my niche, I guess). 1) Is this what I should be doing? 2) Am I just supposed to submit these keywords to directories when I submit my site? 3) If I have my site in my signature on various forums, would it help to have the keywords in my sig, and make them clickable links, rather than just having the URL in my sig? 4) How can I tell how 'well' these keywords are doing? Sorry if these questions have been answered before. I have been browsing the keywords forum for a few weeks now, and just need some basic info to get a better grasp on the concept. Thanks in advance DP.

Yes start str8 away 2) Am I just supposed to submit these keywords to directories when I submit my site? just the main ones 3) If I have my site in my signature on various forums, would it help to have the keywords in my sig, and make them clickable links, rather than just having the URL in my sig? yes ofcourse it does! 4) How can I tell how 'well' these keywords are doing?
