Keywords Are Very Important

By: Jimmy Torres

Both your keyword density and positioning play significant factors when it comes to optimizing your articles for MSN, Yahoo, and Google. A special technology that indexes your article in the search engines known as 'spiders', crawl over your article in a fashion that makes it critical to post your keywords in certain areas of the article, so that if someone does a search on your keyword, your article will come up in the search results.

So what is a keyword?

A keyword is a specific word that you are going to place several times in your article. When a spider detects that you have a certain word posted in your article several times, it will determine that your article is a good resource to browsers that are searching that keyword.

Optimizing your article too much

Placing your keyword excessively in your article is called 'keyword stuffing'. When you practice this method, the spiders will detect that you are trying to manipulate the search engines so that you can rank high for that keyword. When this occurs, your article will get penalized and possibly banned forever from any search engines.

What's Keyword Density?

Keyword density means the amount of times that your keyword shows up in your article. Generally, people use a percentage to tell how often they will place their keyword in their article. For instance, if you want to achieve a 5% keyword density in a 500 word article, then your article must contain the keyword exactly 25 times. I prefer to not go over 5% nor under 3%. However, you'll probably find that many people on the internet prefer different percentages and have a logic behind it, but in the end it's what works best for you.

The Right Density

No matter what density percentage you pick, remember that it's vital to place your keywords in the beginning as much as the end of your article so that you can create an hour glass effect. Just keep in mind that having the right keyword density in your article will most likely result in that article making you money because it will be placed high in the search engine results and attract more interested readers.

If you utilize the methods that I have mentioned above, then you should see your articles gaining top search engine placements. Finally, remember to submit your articles to multiple directories so that you can dominate search engine rankings.
