Rubbish Keywords?

[Jayne]

Hi,

I had a PM from someone and they said my keywords were rubbish for my new site and I would be lost in the millions of other sites (well that's the short version)

I cannot think of any other words people would type in google to look for a site like mine.....any ideas chaps and chapesses

Thank You

Jayne

Oh, forgot..how many words are you allowed to put in?

Just deleted my keywords, just read another thread and I think they should be a secret? Not sure! So deleted them anyway

Hi Jayne,

Don't delete the keywords from your site, they are not secret imho and are used by most search engines, also they don't have to be just singular words, I mainly use phrases, so you could use as an example 'businesses for sale'.

Keywords arent secret are they? I thought anyone could view them with page source

Jayne I hope they were polite when they told you!

[Jayne]

Thanks you two,

The chap who PM'd me was very nice when he told me...it was just my way of squashing the info' up he gave me. I'm a no frills sort of person, get straight to the point :lol:

I'll have a think about wording it different.

Thank You

Jayne

I wouldn't be surprised if the PM included an offer to optimise your site for a fee. Unfortunately some forum members think this is a good way to market their services. Personally I treat such PM's with the contempt they deserve.

The best way to find keywords is to type in a phrase, I'll use my previous example 'businesses for sale', into Google and look at your competitors sites and how they look and work.

Don't forget that you should use your keywords and phrases within the text of your page at least a few times as well, but don't overdo it.

He did offer to help me, I thought he was just being polite.

Thanks Warren,

There's loads to learn, but it's fun though
