My site, Dialadealer do t com is struggling to rank for many of our main keywords. It looks crp, but it's a test. So today, I added a paragraph at the bottom of the homepage with loads of our keywords in it. Will this help us rank for those keywords? ie by mentioning them on the homepage? Also, should I link these keywords from the homepage to internal pages in the site which are fully optimized for each individual keyword? Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike
The keyword based paragraphs are better at the top of the page. Keywords in general are best at the front of your page items like body content, title, description, alt tags, h1 tags, etc. Yes, links on the keywords to pages about that same keyword is an excellent strategy for SEO.
what you are doing is keyword stuffing which is considered as spamming by search engines. you need to use your keywords within your content. just focus on writing some seo friendly content with your keywords spead through out the article
If I link from the homepage, using the keyword as anchor text, which page will rank for the keyword: a)homepage b) the page i link to (that is optimized for that keyword)
Terrible idea IMO... Don't just paste a bunch of keywords on a page in hopes that it will make you rank for them. It's called keyword stuffing, and can get you in hot water w/ the Google gods should you get reported. Google wants to find those words in paragraphs of text, headers, link text, etc. not just a comma delimited list of words you want to rank for. It looks to me like you are trying to have a single URL (your home page) rank for too many different keyword phrases. It can be done, but you have to depend almost entirely on having lots of sites link to your site with each of those phrases many times. I would suggest you add several pages to your site, each one targeting a single keyword phrase or very closely related, VERY similar keyword phrases. Here is the deal... Google ranks URLs for particular keywords. They look at basically two categories of ranking factors - on-page factors and off-page factors. I like to further break off-page factors into two categories - on-site factors and off-site factors... So basically, they are looking at on-page, on-site, and off-site factors when they are trying to rank a particular URL for a particular keyword phrase. On-Page Ranking Factors: <title> element - Does the keyword phrase (or part of or a slight variation of the keyword phrase) exist in the <title>? Is it near the begining of the <title> (important) or near the end of the <title> less important but still important? This should be a list of the 1 (maybe 2 or 3 if VERY similar) keyword phrase(s) that you want the page to rank for <h1> element - Does the keyword phrase (or part of or a slight variation of the keyword phrase) exist in the <h1>? This is basically the header for the page and should describe what the page is about. It should contain 1 or more of the targeted keyword phrases (or parts of or a slight variation of the phrases) from the <title>. Usually you target the primary keyword phrase at least (1st one from <title>) and you should have 1 per page. <h2> element - Does the keyword phrase (or part of or a slight variation of the keyword phrase) exist in the <h2>? This are subheaders for the page, and you can have several of these. Each <h2> should target 1 or more of the targeted keyword phrases (or part of or a slight variation of the keyword phrase) from the <title>. Content of Page - Does the keyword phrase (or part of or a slight variation of the keyword phrase) exist in the content portion of the page? Does it appear near the top of the content (important) or near the bottom of the content (less important but still important). Emphasis on keyword - Does the keyword phrase (or part of or a slight variation of the keyword phrase) exist bolded, italicized, or underlined in the content portion of the page? I personally think a lot of sites over do this. It tends to make pages look spammy and points out how often they are using a keyword or keyword phrase throughout the text. But if don't tastefully and very infrequently, it's okay. Less is more IMO. On-Site Ranking Factors: Google examines the way other pages on your site link to your URL. These are factors that you control similar to on-page factors, but they are on other pages of your site. These are going to be similar to off-site ranking factors since they are both off-page factors. Link Text - What link text do other pages on your site use to link to that URL? The link text that URL A uses when linking to URL B tells Google what the page at URL B is about. So avoid using link text like "Here" or "Click Here" or "Get Started". Instead, if URL A is on your site is linking to URL B then use keyword phrases from the <title> of URL B (or part of or a slight variation of one of those keyword phrase). Relevance - Are the other pages on your site that link to the URL in question about a similar or related topic? Does the search phrase (or part of or a slight variation of the search phrase) also appear on the pages that are linking to the URL? Do inbound links to the pages that link to the URL also contain the search phrase (or part of or a slight variation of the search phrase)? Varying Link Text - Do the pages that link to the URL all use the same link text (sign of unnatural links except for templated portions of the page which appear the same on every page of the site like your global navigation or footer links)? Google is very good at figuring out what parts of the pages of your site are repetitive (part of your template) and what part is content unique to that page. Where possible (in the content and if possible, in the navigation) vary your link text around the keywords of the targeted URL's <title> element's keyword phrases. For example, if you link to your main product pages from the top navigation but also link to it in the breadcrumb and the footer (2-3 links to main product pages on every page of the site) then I would have the top navigation use one link text which targets the main keyword or keyword phrase from the <title> of the target URL. The breadcrumb would use a slightly different variation and the footer yet a third slight variation. So rather than 3 links on the page at URL A pointing to URL B all using the same link text, you have 3 links on the page at URL A pointing to URL B with 3 slightly different versions of link text. Off-Site Ranking Factors Google examines the way other sites link to your URL. Link Text - Same as above for on-site ranking factors. Relevance - Same as above for on-site ranking factors. Varying Link Text - Same as above for on-site ranking factors. Other Ranking Factors There are other ranking factors that don't fall into the above 3 categories which also influence rankings. They are typically domain level ranking factors. Domain Trust - Are the sites that link to your site "trusted" domains? Are the sites you link to "trusted" domains? Domain Authority - How many other sites link to at least one page on your domain? What is the total PR of all of the pages on your site collectively? Do other sites almost exclusively link to your home page (not much of an authority) or do other sites link to LOTS of pages on your site (more of an authority) Domain Age - How long has a site been up and indexed at your domain? This is not to be confused with how long the domain has been registered. Having a domain parked for the last 10 years does not give you 10 yrs of age. This is not an exhaustive list by any means. But I think it covers several of the more important ranking factors and will get you thinking a bit more like an SEO. Hope that helps.
Well above are the keywords on your homepage , its KILLING your website all it is called as STUFFING and its unwanted, Please don't use this techniques as these are 10years old techniques when search engine were YOUNG . it wont help now. If you really want to add keywords then add them in META Keywords tag in HTML coding in the Head section , I see you have added them already so its enough Currently you are spamming it so remove them as stuffing will harm your website and decrease your chances in SERP's
If you are stuffing keywords in footer, it's going to hurt your website. Try giving a structure to your page and use tags to highlight keywords.
