SEO Keywords
Keywords are the terms that represent the main idea of your content. These are the words that you would enter into a search field to yield relevant results. Adding keywords to your content is an important aspect of SEO and driving traffic to your content.
Just like tags , keywords can determine where your content appears within search result rankings. To improve your SEO, it is advised to have target words throughout the body of your text, description, and title.
There are various Keyword Techniques, here are some useful tips:
*The recommended ratio is about 6 keywords to every 100 words (or 6% or your text).
*Bold the keywords to help search engines recognize them.
*Use one of your keywords as the first word in your description and your first tag
*Don’t make your terms too specific or too broad
*Avoid single words as keywords
*It helps to have a keyword in the URL
*Use your keywords a few times in the beginning, throughout the body, and once near the end.
