Placing Your Blog Keywords Properly

August 22nd, 2008 by Pandu

In building a profitable blog it is one major factor to have main keyword for our blog. After deciding the right keywords for your blog, you have to know exactly to place all your blog keywords on your blog that search engine easy to find these keywords and rank your pages according to your keywords search query. The following are places where keywords should be used on your blog pages. The first four items are more important which Google giving more weight to keywords found in the title and link anchor text than any other locations.

  1. Title : <TITLE>your keywords</TITLE>. Keywords should appear as first or second word in the title.
  2. Link (Anchor) Text : <A HREF>your keywords</A>. The clickable portion of links
  3. Headings : <H1>your keywords</H1>, <H2>your keywords</H2>,etc. Use CSS file to control the size of heading text
  4. The first (20 words) paragraph of page : <BODY><P>your keywords</P>. Bolding and/or italicizing keywords also make them more important
  5. Last paragraph of page : <P>your keywords</P></BODY>
  6. Drop-down boxes : <FORM><OPTION>your keywords</OPTION></FORM>
  7. Domain URLs : <A HREF=”http://www.yourkeywords.com/”></A>
  8. Folder and File name : yourkeywords.html, yourkeywords.jpg
  9. Image ALT text : <IMG SRC=” “ ALT=”yourkeywords”>. This is used for graphical links.

Besides the title of a page, Google places special importance on the use of keywords in the text of links. This brings you out to have to structure your links strategy correctly. Ideally, you should only use text links on your site as opposed to graphical button links. Google looks for keywords contained in link anchor text that is the clickable portion of the link. Google cannot see graphic-based links – that all it has to go on is the ALT attribute for image tags which does not carry as much weight.

Keywords in link text should match keywords found on the page that the link points to – especially in the title of the page.

Here is the ideal text-based link structure for Google :

<A HREF=”yourkeywords.html”>your keywords</A>

And if you are using graphic-based link on your blog page, be sure and fillin the ALT text attribute, as follows :

<A HREF=”yourkeywords.html”><IMG SRC=”yourkeywords.gif” ALT=”yourkeywords” BORDER=”0”></A>

    # The first (20 words) paragraph of page : your keywords. Bolding and/or italicizing keywords also make them more important
    # Last paragraph of page : your keywords

    As google has launched its own browser, that shows about only a half of title on the title bar. This is not because of tabs, as IE and firefox also use it. Is that means title is going to be less effective from SEO point of view too?

    Good points raised here, but don’t forget to use your keywords sparingly. While Google will credit for all of the above tips, too many keywords on a page will result in the Gspiders seeing the page as keyword stuffing, and penalize you for it.

    What is the reasoning behind putting your keywords in the last paragraph too? I thought that you could get penalized for using any word too many times.

    yes, sometimes google highlighted those words on the SERPs
    but on official google webmaster central blog, they said OK if you don’t have the “keywords” on URLs or domain name, as long as it’s descriptive enough for the users, and of course has a context to the whole content
    I guess that’s why relevant context in the content is the king :lol:
