whats the deal with keywords

[HostXNow]

all in the title i suppose. whats the deal with them

some 10, some use 15, some use 30, some use 50 + lol

also how about using upper and lowercase

some do this for example

DJ Music, mixes, Dance music forum, FREE DJ MIX HOSTING

does it matter whether upper or lowercase?

a lot say keywords dont even matter any more. if true why bother using them at all

i used this tool to get the keywords for my site

* Keywords are not relevant for Google, but they are relevant to some extent for other search engines.
* Upper or lower case is not relevant.
* The keywords/description you should on your directory naturally should be different from the one used in your forum
* Its title tag of you site you should put a lot more care into creating, ensure you use keywords that are important to the particular page in the title tag.

Thanks

1. ok.
2. thats what i thought.
3. yes i do that.
4. i have these for example

DJ Passion Community - Home
DJ Passion Community - Forums
DJ Passion Community - Directory
DJ Passion Community - MP3 Store

by title tags you mean like that ^

i think the main ones for my site are dj forums / dj community / dance mp3 store / dj directory

think i should include them in the master title like where dj passion community is? from '-' the title just comes from the page name (automtaci).

what you think temi. any suggestions would be appreciated

or do you think ive pretty much done a good job already and that i just need to pick better keywords

cheers chris

forgot to mention... do you think i should include the keyword "Music" in the site title for all pages!?!?

cheers

If you look behind the code that form your site, in the meta tags, amongst other stuff you should have something like this:
Title:
description:
keywords:
The first one is what I mean by title tag, when you look at the top of this forum for example you will see 'Webmaster Forums UK SEO SEM Webmaster Community Forum' that is the title tag for this forum.

Here is a suggested title tag for your main page:

Title: DJ Passion - Dance music community MP3 store. Basically, find a way of using the most important keywords in the title tag, you can still add about 2-3 more words to my example.

This post is old but most of the stuff there are still up today, have a look to get more ideas about elements of a page

ok coool, cheers for the info.

that suggestion for the main page is good but the main parts of my site is directory, mp3 store, forums and of course the website itself. trying to put them all to use in the title tag is tricky.

DJ Passion - Dance music community, directory, forums and MP3 store

see what i mean heh

the info in the other thread is helpful too. thanks temi
