How to optimize keywords for search engines

We all know that Meta Tags are the heart and soul for a website to be listed in most of the search engines.  You must have to be good at it which helps you to get the deserved result. Blogger users must read this article.


Title Tags


Title and meta tags plays an important role in SEO of a blog. An HTML tag with text describing a specific Web page which are written under <title> tag are called as title tags. Usually , these tags contain relevant description and keywords which describes what the current page is all about.


Below are some wise usage of these tags :



  1. You should use your all top keywords in title tag.e.g. You are going to upload a page for Alpha reseller hosting then you should use the keywords like "cheap alpha reseller","unlimited alpha reseller" etc...

  2. Never repeat the keywords otherwise you will be penalized by the google by de indexing of site from Google Search engine.

  3. Never never over stuff your title tags as I saw some websites having almost 100 keywords in title tag


 


Meta Tags


After having a good title tags and description, there comes meta tags. Meta elements are HTML or XHTML elements used to provide structured metadata about a Web page. Such elements must be placed as tags in the head section of an HTML or XHTML document.


Found in the source code (or invisible background) of each web page. Meta tags are sets of instructions and/or identifiers for search engine spiders to read which describe the content that is included on your web page. Try to create good meta tags and description ofr each page and posts.


You may use Robots meta, Headspace or All in one SEO plugin for these task which are quite helpful. You may also create them manually. For example :



<meta name=”description” content=”Search engine optimization”>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Search engine optimization, SEO “>



Try to use different meta description and keywords for different pages. Using the same description on all pages might diminish the importance as it is said by some SEO professionals.

  2. Great tips, definitely have seen websites with an absurd number of keywords in their title tags, or just the same keyword repeated over and over again. Is it true that Google no longer puts any weight on meta tags?

  5. Great information especially for those starting out on SEO. I personally use the All in one SEO plugin to do my meta tags. It makes it really simple.

    However, do you think that meta tags have been less important in Google's eyes lately?

    So your saying to still use keywords but also keep in mind that we should use META TAGS?

  7. I agree with the Admin.. The Meta keywords tag has been the substantial way of ranking a website or in making it available for particular keywords and phrases in the search engines, specifically in Google. It'll be wise too to use long tail keywords.
