Nobody Cares About Your Keywords!

Stop Wasting Time Stuffing Your Metas with Keywords!



Often abused, regularly overused and completely misunderstood

the keywords tag remains, in error, the focus of webmasters

trying to rank high in the search engines.



============================

If Only It Were That Simple!

============================



Google has 2,073,418,204 pages indexed, imagine if site ranking

really was based on the keyword tags? There are tens of thousands

of sites with similar keyword tags so who ranks in the top ten?



The search engines don't care about your keywords tag! They've

learned the hard way they can't trust webmasters with so many

people spamming and using questionable techniques to boost their

rankings.



It would be so simple to take the top most searched on keywords

relevant or not and stuff your keywords with them. Naturally the

search engines have caught on and ignore the keywords tag.



===============================

Then So Why So Much Attention?

===============================



I still routinely see some of the most respected Internet

Marketers discussing and encouraging their use. Issues like:



Should commas be used?

Upper or Lower Case?

Is it bad to repeat a keyword?



but no one asks do they actually do anything?



================

What To Believe?

================



With the co-called experts still talking about keywords tags so

anxiously it is only normal webmasters still look to it as the

Holy Grail of online marketing.



People cling to the keywords tag because it is something obvious

and tangible



The art or science of ranking high in the search engines is often

referred to as Search Engine Optimization which requires an

understanding of the search engine algorithms.



With words like that involved it is easy to understand why

webmasters still hold onto a Keywords Tag which is so much easier

to get a grip on.



=====================

What's The Solution?

=====================



1. Forget Stuffing the Keyword Tag

2. Take the keywords in your tags and get them into your page

content.

3. Keyword research, find out what people are actually searching

on and modify your keywords accordingly.



Top Ten Rankings aren't as easy as stuffing a keywords tag but

you can so with some effort!



Happy Marketing!
