Keywords in your Headers

Monday, May 25th, 2009

One of the more important Good SEO tips is to make sure that your Headers (H1, H2, H3) consistently have keywords in them.  Think of them as super labels.  You are telling the search engines and your visitors what each section is about.

  • Important, Young Grasshopper, like the proper amount of head on a beer.
  • Be Concise. Use your most important keywords first.
  • Rule of Thumb: H1 = 1 – 2 keywords. H2 = 2-3 keywords, H3 = 3-4 keywords… simple in theory.

Keywords Density

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Keyword density is a measure of how often you use a keyword in relation to the total text content on the page.  It is measured in a percentage of the total… 3% would mean you use the keyword 3 times in every 100 words.

  • If you are over 10% keyword density, you are going to get flogged by the search engine riot police.
  • 3% Density for Google, 5% for Yahoo or MSN are typically a good ratio.Remember, keyword density is important (even to your Adwords quality score), but it is just one snowflake in the SEO snowstorm.
  • Remember, Google uses slaves kidnapped by alien spacecraft to crawl the internet. If it doesn’t sounds good (i.e. make sense) there is a good chance these Borg-type indexers will notice and penalize your site. All Praise Google!
