Keywords

Hi,

It is very necessary that URL of each page contain the keyword of that page. If the URL does not contain the keyword then there is problem to finding the website. We use the dynamic URL. Structure of URL also affects the on page SEO. We should also be careful on the time of selecting title and keyword. Title and keyword has an important role. If the selection and placement of title and keyword is better, then it improves the visibility of your website very rapidly.

Sorry but the answers have nothing to do with my question. Let me try again. If you go to a web page and click on view page source you see the title tag, meta tags and a spot that says keywords. Those are the keywords that search engines see when they are looking for a site. My question is if i do keyword research and find 5 great short tail keywords and 5 long tail keywords and am going to put them on this page does it mater how they are put there. Example if I have a site about dogs going to bathroom on the floor and fine that the keywords dog crap is at number and dog crapping is number 2 and dog crapper is number 3 for the most used keywords should I put them on this page in order of most used goes first, and so on.


Hey Mark,

I put up to a maximum of 3 to 4 keywords that I will mainly target. I wont list them in terms of their popularity in the SEs or based on a higher monthly search volume. I personally will list them based on my priority - which keyword I would like to rank for.

Here is an example:
I typed the seed keyword "dog training" in Micro Niche Finder. I eliminated all the keywords with less than 3 words in them, eliminated the keywords with CPC of less than $1 and eliminated keywords with exact match local monthly search volume of less than 500. Here is what I got...

Keyword Phrase Local Search Count (Exact Match) Strength of Competition
how to train a puppy 6600 418
dog obedience training 5400 85,200
dog training collars 5400 25,100
how to train a dog 5400 0
how to train your dog 5400 247,000

Looking at these data the most competitive term for these keywords is "how to train your dog" with a Strength of Competition (SOC) of 247,000. Based on this MNF data, the keyword that will be easier to rank for is "how to train your dog". In this case I will list this keyword in-front of the other 3 keywords I would like my site to be optimized for. If I choose my 4 keywords from these Top 5 keywords I would write them in order based on the lowest SOC. My site source code for my meta keywords will then look like this:

<meta name="keywords" content="how to train a dog,how to train a puppy,dog training collars,dog obedience training" />


I hope this helps.



Thanks,
Jon

I don't have an official source that you can go to for verification. I believe what toby101 has stated is correct that the order does not establish a priority ranking.

I think that the order matters in that some search engines have a cut-off of 100 characters for the keyword list. If I am right, you would do better to place your keywords in order of importance so that the least important would be the ones that get cut off first. Although michellerana says that we should optimize each page for one keyword only (and I agree with her about this) I see no harm in seeding the page with what I call supporting keywords, ones that are related or similar to the main or primary keyword. This is, after all, the LSI concept.
