Do we use Keywords effectively?


Just came across a site and I must say I really wanted to contact the site manager to tell them about the mess they did on their keywords.

The site people had used misformed phrases, improper keywords and there were the tell tale signs of "over stuffing".
The proper way to use keyword/phrases is to use them in titles, sub-titles, bullets and in the beginning/end of paragraphs etc. Again, these should be used keeping the language factor in mind. Proper language with meaningful words go a long way in showing the "real" thing in site content. The same is true for articles etc.

Keyword stuffing means the site would be shifted back many pages when Google comes to know about it. This effectively kills all the SEO shortcuts people use but also kills all the previous good SEO efforts as well.

  1. Since we are talking about keywords, I would like to share about importance of it. Recently a company stated that, their long tail vs short tail keyword data showed that almost 70% of their search engine traffic came from the long tail. Long tail keywords can be powerful sources of search engine traffic for any site! You may hire or outsource SEO experts to further know about these two methods and how will it work for you.

  2. I do agree with you mintradz but I also have the opinion that keywords (long or short tail) have their relevancy i.e. effectiveness depending on their "usability".
    It all depends on how & what the person visiting the search engine types there ! :)

  3. I am not agree with long tail keywords or short tail keywords used get high traffic. i observed if we created without mistake less site then not only get better result but also high traffic.
