Dear Subscriber,
Heard of 'keyword stuffing'? According to
Wikipedia, 'keyword stuffing' is a down right dirty technique of trying to fool the engines by stuffing keyword phrases (in meta tags section and content) for gaining high rankings.
Well, the good news is most search engines today DO NOT take in consideration the keywords in your meta tags for search engine ranking anymore. Content and links take higher precendence. But what bothers me is Google instead will down-rank a blog or website which deploys 'keyword stuffing'.
So be very careful how you add your meta tag keywords in the
All In One SEO Pack of your wordpress blog and also the number of times your target phrase showing up in your content should
NOT be more than 3 times!
Let's look at what's the right way of
adding keywords in your meta tags section of your Wordpress blog.
Say you discovered "diabetes supplies" as a profitable topic to work on and you grabbed a set of related keywords from Wordtracker like this:-
Main Keyword Phrase: diabetes supplies
List of related keywords :-
(top 10 keywords for demo only)
1) diabetes test supplies
2) diabetes testing supplies
3) access diabetes supplies
4) australia dva diabetes supplies suppliers
5) australia dva diabetes supplies
6) diabetes medical supplies
7) donate diabetes supplies
8) free diabetes supplies
9) bd diabetes supplies
10) diabetes insulin pump supplies
QUESTION #1: When inserting keywords in your AIOSEO pack of your main blog's homepage, do you include all the keywords listed above? Of course NOT!
Here is what I would do:-
a) Identify which keywords do not relate to my main topic and remove them.
For the example above, I would
remove No. 7 & No. 8 because my blog is not about giving free stuff or donating supplies.
So now, you're left with only 8 keywords.
QUESTION #2: Do you insert all the 8 keywords as it is or do still need to do some work on them? Of course further work is required. Here is what I would do:-
b) Remove any same words within each keyword, then list down the exact keywords to insert in your meta tags.
(You may insert upto 2 same words in your meta tags, nothing more! )
Main keyword:
diabetes supplies
1) diabetes
test supplies
2) diabetes
testing supplies
3)
access
diabetes supplies
4)
australia dva diabetes supplies
suppliers
5)
australia dva diabetes supplies
6) diabetes
medical supplies
9) bd diabetes supplies
10) diabetes
insulin pump supplies
So , when you're inserting into your meta tags section (for AIOSEO), insert your main target keyword phrase first followed by the rest of the keywords as above (bolded only) separated by comma and a space like this:-
diabetes supplies, test, testing, access australia dva, suppliers, medical, bd, insulin pump and so on.....
(add upto 25 only!)
Thats it!
So, remember, do not flaunt the rules of the game or else your blog may end up on the millionth position and you may not get high rankings for that blog ever.
Till next time,
