Need More Keywords. Have No Room.
This is often a problem that all web site owners have. You have this great design but no room to put the keywords you want to rank for. Have no fear! Here are great ways to through in keywords that would take up little or no room.
Title Tag
<title>KEYWORDSite.com - Your KEYWORD Source</title>
Through in a keyword or two into your title tag (the words in between the <title> and </title>). Make sure that you make it blend in with your site so that they don’t look spammy. So instead of KEYWORD KEYWORD KEYWORD put KEYWORDSite.com - Your Source For KEYWORD.
Meta Tags
There is an ongoing debate about whether search engines take into account the meta tags for keywords and description. In my opinion, you should always have them just in case. They don’t take up any room and could only do you good.
Text Areas/Boxes
<input value=“KEYWORD” type=“text” />
If you have a search box of some sort on your site, keep it loaded with some sort of keyword. Search engine spiders read and include the search query and include it in their keyword density analysis.
Alt Tags
<img src=“me.jpg” alt=“KEYWORD” />
Not only is it proper coding to give all of your images alt tags, but they act as the equivalent of text for the image. They are virtually invisible and can only be seen in the source and if the image isn’t found.
Marquee Tags
<marquee>keyword1,keyword2,keyword3,keyword4</marquee>
This is my favorite. You stuff a bunch of keywords into a marquee and make it seem as if the keywords are there by some sort of script. One example..
Make a marquee with the following text:
LATEST SEARCHES - KEYWORD PHRASE, KEYWORD PHRASE 2, KEYWORD PHRASE 3, KEYWORD PHRASE
It looks official, cool, and takes up only one line design wise.
So there you go. Now you can incorporate those all important keywords without having to completely redesign your site.
