Where and How to place these Keywords?
You are now familiar with keyword/key phrases. Now Question is 'where to Put these keywords?" here are some places where you can place these keywords[1] Meta tags[2] Title Tags[3] Through out the Description on the page
Meta tags:
-Meta tags are invisible for Visitor and as you might know search engines like Yahoo, Google, MSN are Not providing weight to them to rank your page. But still you can place your keywords in Meta title, keywords and description section.
Title Tags:
-This is very important place where you should place your keyword for better ranking in search engine. The main Keywords must be here for which you are optimizing your site. Try to include its synonyms Key phrases / keywords also to receive traffic of related keywords. Example you can create your title like this wayBuy Music CDs online: The shop for buying audio CDs onlineYou are including your two targeted keywords here.
Description:
After title tags this is also one of the most important section where you can place your keywords. But don't go over bound .density of keywords/ phrases should be 7-10%. Otherwise search engines will consider it as keyword stuffing and your rank will go down rather than improvingOther places where you can place these keywords:
Images: -you can choose name of images like music_cds.gif audio_cds.jpg etc rather than 0545.gif and image.jpg! This will improve relevancy of your page for related keyword>> Name of domain, Sub directory and sub domain:
-Before you choose any domain name, directory or sub directory you should consider your keywords/ key phrases and also choose them according to your target market.
Example:
Just look at my site. I selected sub domain for my site like http://directory-submission.inetzeal.com/ and http://link-building.inetzeal.com/ for targeting my keywords. Now see source code of Page http://directory-submission.inetzeal.com/ you will find that to improve relevancy of my page related to keywords I also kept name of my logo like this directory_submission_and_link_building.png .then I placed title like Directory submission service. And placed this keyword phrase in whole description.now my page is relevant for keyword phrase "directory submission", "directory submission service". Or 'web directory submission" etc...
I have chosen every sub domain according to this to improve relevancy for specific keywordsI strongly recommend you to choose your sub domain or sub directory wisely. if you are creating just a page then you can select like this ….
/directory-submission.html because search engines text matching will match this keyword and will rank your site on top with your competitorSo, like this article? It took two days to write. Any feed back good or bad are always appreciated. You can contact me at http://inetzeal.com/contact_us.htm
