Amazing how difficult the SEO topic is. We can get some keywords to the top in yahoo and bing, but google is a difficult beast to figure out. I appreciate info like this, and while we still haven’t figured it all out, it certainly does help!

Thats nice of you marcus! I tried putting keywords on title tags but it shows on the top of the page, so you can have too many keywords otherwise it will look funny?

Thanks Marcus. I optimize my blog by putting one nice title with keyword. I notice that this is one important SEO factor. When I published one article by putting one nice title, after few days I start to gain visitor to my blog by searching for that keyword I use on title.

Marcus Hochstadt,

Title tags of different web pages should overlap each other with main keyword phrases but should differ with long tail keywords, that method of on-page optimization brings authority to the web site.

Title tag and heading – h1 tag of one web page should be almost the same. Title tag and heading – h1 tag as well as subheadings h2, h3 … should also overlap each other with main keyword phrase but should differ with long tail keywords of chosen theme of web page. Overlapping always brings authority and credibility.

Great post, but barely scratching the surface with regards to title tag usage. I’m looking forward to an elaboration on the subject. :)

When I write SEO-texts I’m always very aware of the title tag and the description text. I try to get the search word in as the first word of the title tag. Then I repeat the search word very early in the description text. This way you make it as easy as possible for Google to asses and index your page.

Thanks for the info! All I know about SEO I learned from Wordpress, LOL, so now I’m branching out and trying to learn the fundamentals. This is useful. :)

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!

Thank you for the post bolding up the titles and headers with keywords which should be given preference..,

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.
