Choosing Keywords
" Optimize each page for one or two keywords only because in order to have a top ranking for a keyword, that keyword has to be used through out tags and body text, and arrive at an appropriate "keyword weight".
" Use two-word or three-word keywords instead one-word keywords unless they are unique, like "JavaScript". One-word keywords can sometimes be misleading and searchers know that they will get better results with multi-word keywords.
" Beware that some search engine are case sensitive so to ensure that the approach to each engine is ideal, try to search a keyword in that engine in all variations: all uppercase, all lowercase, and upper- and lowercase. If the results are different for some or all, then need to include those variations of the keyword in the web page's tags for that engine.
" Find tune a keyword such that it reflects the content of the web page by targeting traffic which is looking for that particular web page. Utilize keywords that most searchers use, and also closely match the web page offering.
" Use longer variation and plural of the keywords because most search engines parse words for their roots, removing all prefixes and suffixes (word stemming).
