Placement of Keywords in Critical Areas

Once you find the right keywords or “money phrases” you should know where to place them for most the effective impact. Keywords should be placed in title tags, meta description, H1 tags and other heading tags, and in the first paragraph of the content or the first 200 words of the article. Keywords should also appear in the filename with the correct file naming conventions (i.e. dash instead of underscores) and in anchor text that link to internal pages or relevant external sites. There is also a prevailing importance in placing keywords in domain form. MSN places the highest value on keyword domains while Google and Yahoo have varying treatments for them.

When you are composing keywords, learn the value of using plural vs. singular SEO difference. Plural keywords are more effective in SEO than singular keywords on all major search engines. Google, Yahoo, and MSN differentiate capital letters in keywords. Placing exact keywords is also important in MSN and Yahoo, while Google allows for more flexibility in the ordering of keywords.
