SEO OPTIMIZED KEYWORDS

Keyword is a term that a person enters into a search engine to find specific information.

Most people enter search phrases that consists of between two and five words.

Such phrases may be called search phrases, keyword phrases, query phrases, or just keywords.

One technique that often works well is to create some smaller pages, generally just a paragraph long, which emphasize a particular keyword.

By keeping the overall number of words to a minimum, you will increase the "weight" of the keyword you are emphasizing.

Having keywords in the first heading and in the first paragraph (first 20 words or so) on a page is the best strategy.

STRATEGIES…

Filename should be appropriate and you should give your filename according to the content loaded on the webpage. It should be separated by hyphens rather than a underscore.

Filename should be short simple and it should be easily understandable and memorable. To state an example eBay, Wikipedia, Jabong etc..,

The page title (not to be confused with the heading of the page) is what is displayed in the title bar of your browser window. This is the one place on a web page where your keywords MUST be present.
