Hi guys, I was wondering if a keyword phrase is "broken up", does that impact the keyword desity and therefor the relevancy of the article. For instance: KW phrase is ¨dog training¨ Is: .....¨A good dog training is adviced¨.... better than ....´For your dog to go to a training is...´...... Does both options have the same value for google? Thanks.
Interesting question. I am inclined to think that they have the same value in the eyes of Google. I suspect that having the KW together is a tiny tiny bit better and more preferred, but I wouldn't stay awake at night trying to figure out how to get the phrase together.
I agree with metaspring. I try to stay with inline keyword phrases. I think google would give a bit more credence to that than broken up keyword phrases.
Google cares about relevancy, so if the keyword is grammatically incorrect or strange inline, break it up so that it makes sense. Remember, Google will largely rank you based on how well your site does when people search that keyword. So, if your keyword is 'acne baby treatment'; by keeping it together you will at first rank very well. But, since it probably won't make sense readability wise, your rank will decrease for that keyword. So, if at all possible keep it together. I personally avoid awkward phrases for just that reason.
Since "dog training" is a keyword phrase that you can keep together, it's best to keep it together. There are some keyword phrases that make no sense when you keep it together, then it makes sense to break it up. Even then, try to keep as close as possible.
The best current thinking is that there are three types of keywords that search engines use to rank relevancy of sites. Broad, Phrase and Exact. When setting your keyword phrase keep this in mind. Exact is when the keyword is only searched. i.e. the searcher only types in dog training. Typically all the sites that have kept there keyword together will rank better. Phrase again is an example of the keyword staying together i.e. where to get the best dog training. again by keeping the two keywords together you are more likely to rank than having them seperate. Finally there is BROAD this is where the keywords can be in any order in the search i.e. i need training for my dog. If you are going to target the keyword "dog training" keep the words together. That said when you write your articles, it is likely you will also use the keywords "dog" and " training" in other places. Hope that helps DAN
There is something called 'keyword proximity'; the more the words of the phrase closer, the better. Additionally, if you top the search engine results for the unbroken phrase, you will most probably top the search engine results for the broken phrase also.
