Hi everyone, Just curious to know...does it matter what order and amount you optimize your keywords in? For example, if my site was x.com, could I spend 2 weeks working on x-1 as a keyword, then move onto x-2 etc. Or is it better to spend time evenly working on all your keywords ...or maybe doesn't really matter at all. Thanks
Hey Mike, At the end of the day it really doesn't matter. The main thing is not to overload your site with meta tags and keywords. You do not need any more keywords in these sections than around 20 or less. Try to ensure that the content on your site reaches about 4% keyword density (For every 100 words 4 should be keywords). To better optimize ensure that your keywords have long tail extensions. Best Wishes, Sean McAlister
it doesn't really matter which keywords you'll promote first. The key here is how you do KW optimization
A good way to optimize your site is by the keywords of your pictures. On one of my sites that I had a few pictures that had unique keywords, that made my site on the first page of Google for that search term. The site didn't have any backlinks and had only been up for a couple of months. The pictures were also hosted by Google, so I am sure that probably helped.
The order in which you optimize your keywords is probably just a matter of personal preference. I tend to do this: • When writing a new page, I of course concentrate on optimizing the KWs for that page before I upload it. • Periodically I review most (occasionally all of) my pages, using WordTracker. I especially concentrate on my three main pages, but I don't negect the others. It has surprised me over the years to see how poorly some of my pages were KW-optimized. Using a good tool, like WordTracker, you can re-evaluate your keywords. By making appropriate KW changes, I have seen substantial increases in the SERPs.
