Key words for SEO

[jmk909er]

Please help me to understand, I know that key words are critical for SEO but what keywords does this refer to for example: KW in your site page name, KW in article content, KW in tags, etc. Where do these KW's need to be located?
Thanks.

Hi Joe,

In an abbreviated nutshell, most important is KW in the title tag, up in the meta section of the head of the HTML page. Also in the meta description. Then in the text title of the page in an H1, a couple or a few times in the body (depending on how much content there is) in the image alt tags and the URL if possible.

Don't stuff keywords, try to hard or overdo it. Write for people not search engines. However if the topic is Green Widgets a well written article is going to have that keyword in all the places above naturally.

A great tip is to search Google for the keyword you are going to write about and then analyze the top results to see what they've done.
