Tips to add keywords

[Jenny29]

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.

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.

And also remember to spread your keywords, by saying "spread your keywords", I mean for example, if your keyword is "Make Money Online", you should also ensure to write related phrases like "earn income online", "generate revenue internet", etc, I hope you guys understand.

Including the above, remember that never use underscores to specify the keywords in the URL. Always use dashes(-) between the phrases. For more effective tips you can refer the Google Webmaster Guidelines.

Keyword density is very important in on-page optimization. It's one thing that Jenny29 forgot to mention.

Keywords must be strategically placed throughout the body of your article.
Must have 1 in the 1st paragraph and 1 in the ending paragraph.
Then the rest, you can have 1 per paragraph... Just try to get 3 to 5% in keyword density. It can be computed by getting the total number of occurence of the KW and then divide it by the total number of words in the article.
Ex: KW=7
Total words in article=200
7/200=0.035=3.5% this is a good KW density.

The main point here is not to spam your KW in the article. If you do you may get banned by Search Engines.

Now, keyword density is a measure which does not really make or break you in the SEO game. Sure, it is good to have repetitions of your keywords in your content, but it will not make a huge difference.

Search engines have come to realize that people simply exploit these tricks in order to rank high. For this reason, they have stopped giving a lot of credit for undertaking these measures.
