To optimize the HTML code of the pages to match Google's algorithm One have to look at the various areas of page optimization for Google: Title-The keyword or phrase should be included in the title of the page. However, it is probably best to include other words in addition to the keyword as well. For single keywords or two word phrases, I'd consider a title of 3-5 words in length to be the best choice. Headings- Placing the keyphrase in a H1 or H2 heading at the very beginning of the page seems to work well. I have seen pages that rank high without headings, but it would seem to me that a good heading makes the job a bit easier. For the heading, I generally use just the keyword or keyphrase without adding any other words into it. If the page in question is a very long one, using a H3 heading with the keyword in it every now and then to retain the focus doesn't seem to hurt. Density-Google doesn't seem to be too picky about keyword density, just as long as the keyphrase is found often on the page. In many cases, Google seems to tolerate and even like very high keyword densities.The page should be somewhat "front-heavy", meaning that you should work the first instance of the keyword somewhere very near to the beginning of the page and make it appear once or twice fairly close to this first keyword, scattering the rest across the page. Special Words-Including the keyword in link text or in bold text does seem to give a slight advantage, but is not mandatory in my opinion. If I would have to choose between the two, I'd see using the keyword in link text as more important than using it in bold. Meta Tags-Not useful with Google, but you won't get into trouble for using the standard keyword and description tags either. Include them or leave them out, your choice Link Popularity-Link Popularity is important because it is a major factor used by the Search Engines in determining a site's position in the Search Results.Generally,a site with more inbount Links will be positioned Higher than a similar site with fewer links.Other factors that are considered include anchor Text I fond some info about google seo, hope these suggestions above can help u!!
Indeed meta keywords lost their power at G, but Y and dozens of other SE's still work with them. Keep them in your site...
In my own experiences, title tag, meta description tag, h1 tag, keywords in page contents plus quality backlinks using our targeted keywords would be the top factors for ranking purpose. Thanks,
Yes but meta description is still useful,not for ranking,but for the user I usually look at the text below a link in SERPS before i open a site,and I am sure a lot of other people do it as well...
They don't even use it for the description. They use whatever they want to use and it's rarely the meta.
Thanks for the tips, but do you know for sure that Google doesn't use metadata? I am pretty sure they use it to some degree within the engine.
