Taking Aim at Keywords

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I spent my work time over the weekend targeting the keywords on my lenses in an attempt to improve their placement in searches and thus increase traffic. There were a handful that I actually changed the keywords I was targeting as the competition was too intense. For the majority however, I attempted to simply increase my keyword density. 

I’ve never liked reading the same word or phrase over and over on a page so I tend to go a little light on keyword density but felt it was worth the time at this point to make a conscious effort to kick it up a percent or two. I’ve read advice about the appropriate density but the range appears to be wide among “experts”.  I’m happy with 3-5%.

Now I need to go do some testing to see if I’ve made any real improvement…
