Keywords
Keywords and keyword phrases
Choosing effective keywords and keyword phrases requires imagination and time. Start by selecting words that accurately reflect the content of the page. If you don't choose effective keywords, all your efforts to boost your visibility in search engine results, will be wasted.
Choosing keywords
Choose keywords that accurately reflect the content of each page - one page at a time, and choose words that are searched for but not too popular
Researching keywords
Select a phrase that accurately reflects the content of the page: then thoroughly research this phrase - don't just assume it's the best you can use! Use one or more of the many online "Keyword suggestion tools"
Keywords - where to use them
Whether you are coding your web page yourself or not, you need to know where to use your keywords for their best effect

Meta tags
Meta tags
Meta tags are piece of code and text placed in the head of a web page which are designed to provide information to search engines about the contents of the page and to help readers decide whether to click on the link to the page or not.
Title tag
Writing good title tags is essential for getting good results in search engines. They appear as text in the top left corner of the web browser's window and as blue underlined text links in search engine results.
Meta description tag
The "meta description tag" is a meta tag used to give a brief description of the current web page. It provides a short summary of the page for use by readers and search engines.
Web page headings
Headings and sub-headings on web pages are an important part of the structure of the page for readers and search engines and therefore need to be given appropriate heading tags, not simply made to look like headings.
Meta keywords
The "meta keywords" tag is a meta tag that that was designed to list the keywords from your web page in order to help search engines categorise web pages and websites. Now, they are virtually useless
