Re: search engines

Hi, with the se’s, think of making the site in reverse. When I say this, it needs a nice list of the words & phrases that you or a visitor would put in lets say a Google search box to find your site. Now you have a list of words, incorporate these keywords into the content of your page. ( You will know best on what these keywords may be) Now add these key words to the k/word area in properties. Don’t add key words in the properties unless its within the content of the page. This should also be individual to each page you make.
Once you are happy with the site, pop a support ticket into VH & they will list you for free to all the major se’s. (This is a one time only offer as part of your VH account)


Good luck.

Re: search engines

sorry, umm... just another question, once i have submitted this ticket, will i be able to edit my keywords? or will se's not pick them up afterwards?

ANY and ALL changes you make to your site at ANY time will always get picked up by the serach engines at some point yes.

and yes you can make any changes you want after your site has been submitted. : - )

Re: search engines

And the se's aren't going to pay attention to the keywords you put in the meta - they are going to pay attention to the words on the site itself - and the title. And if/when they deem you worthy to give up in a search, there is a good chance most of them will use your meta description - so make sure you do the title and description for each page - different for each page.

And maybe you should read the ebook in my signature. It might help you. Remember, no one page can be important for too many different keyword phrases- you need multiple pages to do them justice.
