STI you need to take it easy on the
<strong>

Don't take offensive you just need to remove the strong and place it in only select portions of your site.

Don't put a whole page or paragraph in <strong>. It will convey to a search engine that everything on that page is important, and as a result search engines will disregard all content in bold or strong. You are shooting yourself in the foot

Here are some SEO questions I get asked regularly. I'd love to hear your answers:

"I launched a site yesterday with GoDaddy's free website builder. I haven't put any content in, but I do have a cool flash intro. Haven't gotten a single lead since. So I went to Google and typed in 'car insurance' and my site didn't show up. What did YOU do wrong?"

"How do I get to the first page of google for the word 'insurance'?"

"My cousin's neighbor told me I just need to put a bunch of search terms in the 'keywords tag' on my site and I'll show up for those terms at the top of search engine. So how do I change my 'keywords tag'?"

"Haven't launched a site yet but I've been busy doing lots of research and I'm sure I have a strategy that's going to get me to #1. Can you tell me which tropical island I should move to with all of the millions I'm going to make?"

"How much to I need to bid to show up organically for the phrase 'life insurance'?"

"People over 65 don't use the Internet, do they?"

"I read on BHW that I can use latent semantic indexing with a keyword density of 6.324, cross checked with a link spider using a drag coefficient of 7 times the number of h4 tags on wikipedia. But SEOmoz says that I should focus on the ratio of h3 tags divided by the number of errors I get on the w3c validator. So which one is correct?"


I'm sure there are more, but I'd appreciate answers to these questions.

Thanks,

Aaron

So I went to Google and typed in 'car insurance' and my site didn't show up. What did YOU do wrong?" Google Cannot read Flash...start adding keyword rich unique content

"How do I get to the first page of google for the word 'insurance'?" This cannot be answered within this post and frankely I think you should go after a different terms unless you are the marketing director for Allstate.

"My cousin's neighbor told me I just need to put a bunch of search terms in the 'keywords tag' on my site and I'll show up for those terms at the top of search engine. So how do I change my 'keywords tag'?" Disregard the keywords tags Google ignores them

"Haven't launched a site yet but I've been busy doing lots of research and I'm sure I have a strategy that's going to get me to #1. Can you tell me which tropical island I should move to with all of the millions I'm going to make?" Fiji

"How much to I need to bid to show up organically for the phrase 'life insurance'?" No bidding but it looks like its roughly $30 per click on adwords

"People over 65 don't use the Internet, do they?"

"I read on BHW that I can use latent semantic indexing with a keyword density of 6.324, cross checked with a link spider using a drag coefficient of 7 times the number of h4 tags on wikipedia. But SEOmoz says that I should focus on the ratio of h3 tags divided by the number of errors I get on the w3c validator. So which one is correct?" 6.345 is too high for keyword density I would shoot for 3-4 max...anything higher can get flagged for spam or keyword stuffing. The rest is SEO jibberish mashed together to sound like a confusing question.

I'm sure there are more, but I'd appreciate answers to these questions.

Thanks,

Matt Cutts is the head engineer at google...from the horses mouth
Google doesn't use the keywords meta tag in web search
