Thanks for the great information. I have only just submitted my site and am waiting for indexing. I am going to make a few changes with the titles of the pages.

Thanks again!

Hi David,

Occasionally, you may wanna use all three. But principally, it’s a good idea to focus on one keyword per page.

In other words, in the case that you want to use three keywords, I’d write three pages.

By combining all of the ethical methods for SEO, you will get the best results. Always put your reader first, and don’t try to fool search engines with hidden text or unrelated key phrases. One tip: when creating your internal file names, use the primary key phrase (as you do in your title, meta tags, etc.), but in the file names use dashes or underscores, such as seo-web-design rather than seowebdesign.

many people don’t take the time to deal with the header tags, which is not smart…as header tags are still used by most all of the search engines

Adding Heading not only benefits in terms of Seo, but also in arranging content properly in website.

Good advice on header tags. Since changing mine and only using one H1 header with keywords, it has helped page ranking. Unfortunately, I didn’t include keywords in my website address which was a mistake, but I’ll learn from it. Thanks for the great advice.

Thanks for explaining the necessity of the H2 and H3 tags - and what keywords to add in them.

I’ve finally gotten all my pages to have the correct H1 tags - time to start over optimizing the H2 H3 tags.

I Totally agree, but what I do is I make 4 secondary pages with each of them another keyword. I also look to the competition and intent of the keywords I use.

It works!

Titles and Meta Description tags are very important.
I did reseach in my language for keyword “durys” (”doors” in Lithuanian).
Look at first positions in G search for “durys” - all those pages Title, descriptions are packed with “durys” and it’s forms “duru”, “duris” etc. Some Descriptions have almost 50% keyword saturation.
The same is valid for search “doors”.

I have never really bothered about the titles and headers till now and I think that does explain why I don’t get much of organic traffic to my site.

I think these are basic things that I can do myself and the results too. So thanks for passing it on.

On page optimization is a great way to tell Google exactly what your site is about. It really makes a difference when you place your main keyword in your URL, post title, first sentence of your post and the last sentence of your post, also in bold at least once. Do this and you will see a definite change in your rankings in the SERPs. Great post man!

I’ve never read anything about header tags before

Its definately important to have all titles and headers different as this shows the SEs you have different pages in your website, if they are all the same they see it as just 1 page and so you wont get ranked as highly

Hey Marcus,

First time commentor… I am wondering if duplication of keywords is good, bad and/or ugly in the title. For example if you are using terms like “xyz skills”, “xyz strategy” and “effective xyz” as your keyword terms,how would you handle that?

Would you include all of the terms or avoid the duplication of the work “xyz”? Thanks a lot in advance for your advice.

there was an article on seomoz couple months back. Most experts agree that headers and title are very important on-page factors and not to mention your website copy with proper density.
