SEO Essential #3 Once Crucial Now Just a Necessary Step

SEO Essential #3 SEO Meta Keyword Tags

Once crucial, now just a cumbersome step

The third most important SEO Essential is Meta Keyword Tags. I am not going to say much about this since most people are overly aware of Meta Keyword Tags. A few years ago, they were the most important thing you could do to a web site for Search Engine Optimization. The Search engines grew smarter as the webmasters abhorrently abused this concept. First the search engines started measuring the relevancy of the Meta Tags to the actual page content. Then they began ignoring Meta Tags once and for all.

We still recommend having Meta Keyword tags because you don’t want the search engine to think that you just don’t care, however, it is no longer the third most important step. A couple notes for those of you who are here to learn how to do it right;

1. use no more than 20 meta keywords per page

2. use keywords and variations of words actually found in the page content, including misspellings.

3. your meta keyword tag should be no more than 200 characters in length

4. do not repeat keywords in your tag

Well, enough about that.
