    Hi

    I'm pretty green at this, and would like some feedback.

    In particular I was trying to see which keywords my site is reflecting and came up with "color" and "photo" as the top 2. This was at http://www.yahoosearchrankings.com/index.php?act=dbksearch

    I was hoping that "online administrative help" and photo editing, enhancement" or "administrative help for small businesses" would show up as that would make more sense for my website.

    Would anyone have any suggestions?

    Should I put these keywords in all my alt tags on the pictures?

    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Thanks!

    I also thought about the word "color" showing up 97x on my website - I guess it is because it is in the html when I specify background and font color, etc.

    So is having the word "color" showing up as the most used keyword on my site not a good thing?

    What is your site name? How old is it? How many Yahoo backlinks do you have?

    I really do not think yahoo cares much of backlinks. My site was only 3 weeks old when i got good listing on my keywords. I got no links from other sites during the time. For some keywords, i even get to no 3/5 in say 2 million pages.

    It's all about good content and niche keyword. Work more on your content if you're talking about yahoo.

    For google, yes - we're talking about good links. If you have no good links pointing to your site, then you'll be left behind by google.

    So if your site is new..work on getting good position with yahoo first.
    Good luck!

    Ok I hear you iskandar.

    I still want to know about my original q:

    I was hoping that "online administrative help" and photo editing, enhancement" or "administrative help for small businesses" would show up as that would make more sense for my website.

    Istead the word color is showing up as my number one keyword

    Would anyone have any suggestions?

    Should I put these keywords in all my alt tags on the pictures?

    I wouldn't lose sleep over Yahoo rankings. Yahoo is going to pot. Get your site showing well in Google.
