MLM WEBSITES REQUIRE CORRECT KEYWORDS
Keyword Density Tips
There are an incredible amount of companies offering
services to increase search engine ranking on the market
at the moment. This is because, anyone who uses any
Internet marketing methods already knows that search
engine
optimization is the the key to success.
Search engine
marketing works since almost everyone uses search engines
to find what they are looking for on the Net. However,
the
reality is that none of these companies that promise
search
engine ranking can really guarantee success. Search
engines
use complicated algorithms that are simply too difficult
to ever really crack.
And if someone did manage to figure
out the precise algorithm, it wouldn't matter, since the
search engines periodically, update their algorithms to
prevent a breach to their integrity.
It is known that Google takes into account over 100
different variables when creating an algorithm for
ranking.
Whilst we may wonder how to master each and every one of
these facets, we can be sure that keyword density is
one of
the most important variables and should be the first to
consider to optimize our site.
Keywords are the words and
phrases that are entered into search engines so that they
can produce the results that the surfer is looking
for. It
is the work of the search engine to find relevant
information based upon these keywords. So if we enter the
keyword 'bicycle' into the search engine, we do not
want to
look at an article that has this word mentioned only once
throughout. In this case, it is unlikely that the result
would be relevant at all. This is reason for the
importance
of keyword density as a variable.
Obviously, if the
article
mentions the keyword 'bicycle' ten times, then it is
a much better match for the keyword search since it is
likely to contain the information that the searcher
seeks.
So what is keyword density and how do we determine it?
The keyword density can be expresses as a percentage
of the
total number words found on a particular page. It can be
found by dividing the number of mentions of the
keyword by
the total number of words in the article or web page. An
article with 200 words that mentions the keyword 10 times
throughout would have a keyword density of 2%. It is
generally accepted that a keyword density of between 2%
and 5% is ideal.
Although the figures may vary from
search
engine to search engine, this is a good rule to use.
Since
most search engines consider the title the most relevant
part of the article then it is a good idea to include the
keyword. However, be careful not to go over the top with
the keyword as the search engine is likely to penalize
you
for overuse. It's wise not to exceed the 5% density rule
for any optimized page.
Primary keywords are those exact phrases typed into the
search engine. Tier one keywords are those that are the
same as the primary keyword, but with a slight
modification
in grammar. "Bicycle parts" would be a tier one
keyword for
"bicycle part". They should be used only once in the
first
or second paragraph.
Tier two keywords are words that
one
would relate to the primary keyword. For "bicycle part",
tier two keywords would be things like: seat,
handlebars,
spokes, wheels, or anything else that might appear in
an article about bicycles. These do not need any
specific
density but should be used naturally throughout the
article.
Finally, keyword variations are the final component. For
"bicycle part", they would be: bicycles, part, parts,
and
bicycles. These need to be used throughout the
article but
should never exceed 5% in total density.
Of course, the rate of success by following these rules
will vary between the various search engines. But, by
using
these tips in your web page development, you will
certainly
boost your search engine rankings since you are telling
the search engine that your web page or article is
relevant
to the particular keyword your visitor types into the
search engine. You may wish to experiment with keyword
density to find the optimal level for the different
search
engines so as to increase your ranking. It is worth
spending
time on this aspect of search engine optimization
since it
is one of the known variables that does have a direct
effect
on your search engine rankings.
