Search Engine Optimization: Tip #3

Posted on Jul 23, 2007 

Filed Under: SEO

This is the third and final search engine optimization tip in this series. From SEO tip #1, you learned how to use keyword selector tools when choosing the right keywords for your search engine-optimized posts. SEO tip #2 talked about how to incorporate those keywords. Today, you’ll see a list of where to place the keywords you find.

When I say “where” to place keywords, I’m talking about more places than just the article itself. Keywords don’t just belong inside posts and post titles, but also in many different places that search engine crawlers look at. Here’s a little list to show you exactly where to put keywords.

  • Like I said, place keywords on post titles (which will also be the page title).
  • Have keywords in different formats: bold and italics
  • In the URL of the page
  • In image “alt” tags
  • In links
  • In meta tags
  • Last but not least: in your content

There is more to SEO than the three tips that I have given you. Those 3 tips are the stepping-stones to having your articles on the front page of search results. Even if you don’t do anything else, applying these tips are over 80% of what having great SEO articles.
