SEO Tips For Keyword Domination Lesson 7

This is continued from SEO Tips For Keyword Domination Lesson 6 for make money online review and other blogs.

In lesson 3 Assessing Keyword Competition and lesson 4 Using Google For Keyword Analysis we narrowed down 3 main profitable keywords to optimize for.

LESSON 7 – HOW ON-SITE OPTIMIZATION CAN MASSIVELY BOOST YOUR RANKINGS

Ok, so now we’ve selected our main 3 keywords:


    weight loss story
    weight loss picture
    safe weight loss

Notice that all of the keywords contain the word “weight loss”. This will make things easier for us when we begin to optimize our offpage ranking factors which you’ll learn about later.

Let’s Optimize Our Webpage …

The first thing we need to do is select a page Title for our website.

Add a Title

The page title should:

Include ONLY our main keywords. The least amount of words you can place in the title, the more weight Google will give to each of the keywords and the higher you will rank.

Note: When I say “Google”, I’m really referring to all the major engines (Google, Yahoo, and MSN). But I am saying Google because this is the search engine you should really focus on optimizing for because Google gets roughly 50% of all the searches on the web. Yahoo receives about 30% and MSN about 20%.

When creating your page title, it should not look like this:

    Welcome to our website!
    This is the html code used to create this title: < title >Welcome to our website!< /title >

It should not even look like this, which does contain our main keywords, but contains an unnecessary number of words:

    weight loss story and weight loss picture and safe weight loss
    This is the html code used to create this title: < title >weight loss story and weight loss picture and safe weight loss< /title >

Although that title isn’t horrible and does contain all of your main keywords, you should do a couple of things to cut down on words used.

This would be a perfect title for your webpage:

    Weight Loss Story | Safe Weight Loss Picture
    This is the html code used to create this title: < title >Weight Loss Story | Safe Weight Loss Picture< /title >

Notice that I’ve:

  1. Taken out all of the “ands”

  2. Replaced one of the “ands” with a “|” character (Note: You can add this character by holding the shift key on your keyboard and pressing the backslash key above the enter key.)

  3. Combined the keywords “Safe Weight Loss” with “Weight Loss Picture”

Always Combine Your Keyword When Possible to cut down on the total number
of words that are in your title!

Always Combine Your Keywords In The Page Title!

When Google looks at our title, it will see all 3 of our keywords only. Combining keywords to cut down on the total number of keywords displayed in the title is a great way to boost the strength of each individual keyword, which will have an immediate impact on your ranking.
