KEYWORDS - Keywords are used by search engines such as
yahoo or excite to catalog web pages. These are words or phrases
that describe what a visitor to your website would find. Keywords
are not visible to someone visiting your site but they are written
into the computer code. How to choose keywords:
- Brainstorm a list of words apply to your business.
- The best way to confirm the keywords you have brainstormed is
to try them on a major search engine (i.e.. Yahoo
or Excite) and then travel
to the sites you find in that search. Do the sites you find with
these keywords match what you hope to find; sites like yours?
If so you are on the right track. Otherwise try again with other
keywords.
- It helps to have quite a few, but it is also important to prioritize
your list. List in rough order of importance
- do not repeat words, even small words such as "the".
- write your list with no commas or returns
TITLE - The Title of your web site will be displayed at
the top of a visitor’s browser. The Title of your website will
help search engines and therefore your customers / audience find
you.
- Try to use your best keywords in the title.
- Avoid listing the same word multiple times in a row since some
engines may penalize for this.
- Make your title interesting and "compelling" to the
reader to convince them why they should click there.
DESCRIPTION - The description is a short ( 25 word/ 200
character) description of the content of your website. The description
will be seen when a search engine brings up your website. Write
a description that will make someone want to click on your page
versus a number of similar pages.
