    Keywords are the base of any SEO campaign and placing your keywords appropriately not an is not easy task. Here you can find some points about where to add keywords and keyword phrases which may help you;

    1.Add Keywords in title tag: title is the best place to add your targeted keywords. The text written inside the title tag displays in search results as your page title. It should be be short and limited to 6-7 words in it. It will be better to add targeted keyword in the beginning of title tag.

    2.Add Keywords in URL: Adding your keywords in website URL is also a good idea. For example http://www.mysite/seo-services where “seo-services” has been used as keyword phrase. Inclusion of keywords in URL may help you from SEO point of view. It is recommended to use hyphen (-) instead of underscore (_) in URLs as separator.

    3.Add Keywords in heading tags: Adding keywords in heading tags like H1, H2 and H3 is as beneficial as putting them in page title. Do not use words like: and, for, the, or etc. as they are ignored by search engine spiders. Try to make best possible use of this place.

    4.Add Keywords in meta tags: Meta tags are not so important as earlier. Major search engine like google do not consider it but still it is valuable for other search engines like yahoo, msn. So if you are optimizing for yahoo and msn then add your keywords properly.

    5.Add Keywords in Alt tags: Search engine spiders are unable to read images or graphics. If you have images in your web page then make sure to include main keyword(s) in the ALT tags, but never over do it as your ranking could be dropped in the result.

    6.Add Keywords in anchor text: Anchor text is really an important place to add keywords. Do not create simple internal link with anchor text like “Click Here” or "visit this link" instead of this you can use your keywords relevant to the page. It becomes more important in case of inbound links as it will be regarded as a vote from another site for a particular keyword to your site.

    The title tag should be used what it's for; to make an accurate short title of the web page. This should not be used to stuff keywords for search engines. The title will naturally contain the keywords related to that web page.

    Neither - or _ have more value of the other when it comes to delimiters. They have the same value in search engines eyes. This is more of a cosmetic choice than an optimization choice.

    Again, in HTML mark-up the heading tag has it's purpose to structure content on a web page. It should not be used to stuff keywords into a web page. Used properly helps search engines understand the structure of your web doucment.

    There is no proof Yahoo! or Live Search use the meta keyword element due to the major abuse in the past. This is used by smaller search engines and by publisher networks to pull keywords for ads.

    Again, this should not be abused. The alt attribute is used when an image cannot be displayed in a browser; search engines also use this AND the file name to determine what the image is.

    Even better if you can get your keyword in the domain name.
