SEO And Keywords

In a perfect cyber-world, each time a potential customer asks a search engine about your product, company, or industry, your site appears at the top of the results list. Alas, the unpredictable nature of search engine algorithms means that you are unlikely to achieve this perfection anytime soon. But you can increase your site's visibility with well-chosen keywords.

Search engines send "spiders" or "robots" to evaluate your pages for their relevance to various search terms. One of the most important things these agents look at is the "keywords" META tag. This tag lets you tell search engines what your site is about. So, if you have included the keyword phrase "Hervey Bay Web Design" in your META tag and someone goes to goolge and searches for "Hervey Bay Web Design," then your page is likely to appear high in the search results, As long as your page's theme is about that keyword term.

Obviously, selecting the right keywords is important. Begin by brainstorming all of the words that can be used to describe your products, your business, and your industry. More to the point, try to figure out all of the words that prospective customers might use when they come looking for you. Use very specific key words that name you and your products as well and your industry. Search engines limit the number of keywords use no more than 15 words or multiple-word phrases.
