Hi all, I have a question about keywords on my site. My main keyword phrase is bamboo fly rods and in google I appear on spot 70 right now. With about 38.000 search results For bamboo fly however I appear on spot 3 and bamboo fly has over 3.300.000 search results... Much more search results and a spot in the serach engines I like very much noone ever searches for that phrase though so it has no use. I searched for it to find out if I was doing something wrong with my SEO The anchor text I'm using for sites that link to me often have the words bamboo fly rods. Do these search results mean I'm using the word rods too often on my page? Does google and maybe other Se's see the word rods in flyrods too? or do they see that as a whole word? Thanks Danny www.keone.com
I took it a step further and made an analysis of the keywords on my page. Is this how you professionals do it? I counted the number of words or parts from words on my page. And checked google for how many results for each word (part). Then checked Google G Msn M and Yahoo Y for my ranking. and this is what I came up with ----------------------------------------------------------- bamboo flyrods occurs 1 time(s) (pos. G14 M4 Y28 of 15.400) flyrods occurs 2 time(s) (pos. G62 M13 Y73 of 53.400) ----------------------------------------------------------- bamboo fly rods occurs 4 time(s) (pos.G73 M3 Y16 of 398.000) bamboo fly occurs 6 time(s) (pos. G3 M1 Y22 of 3.330.000) bamboo rods occurs 0 time(s) (pos. G n/a M3 Y21 of 933.000) bamboo rod occurs 0 time(s) ( pos. G n/a M34 Y n/a of 1.890.000) ----------------------------------------------------------- bamboo flyrod occurs 1 time(s) (pos. G44 M14 Y81 of 171.000) flyrod occurs 4 time(s) (pos. G n/a M36 Y n/a of 122.000) ----------------------------------------------------------- bamboo occurs 8 time(s) (pos. G n/a M84 Y n/a of 43.500.000) flyrod occurs 4 time(s) (pos. G n/a M36 Y n/a of 122.000) fly rods occurs 5 time(s) (pos. G n/a M5 Y61 of 7.520.000) fly occurs 12 time(s) (pos. G n/a M n/a Y n/a of 397.000.000) rods occurs 14 time(s) (pos. G n/a M 33 Y n/a of 37.600.000) rod occurs 24 time(s) (pos. G n/a M n/a Y n/a of 160.000.000) ----------------------------------------------------------- as you can see MSN pretty much likes me but from what I read they dont really care about a high keyword density so I'm not sure if I should look at their results.
Google will always differentiate between flyrod and rod, they will consider it as 2 different words. So that will not be the reason
