Repeating Keywords

SEO Knowledge Base

Many search engines do not use Meta Tags when indexing a website and prefer only to index the visible text on a page. For this purpose, some pages might include a list of keywords at the bottom of a page:

Example:
computer,software,hardware,shopping,games,internet,monitors,printers,sale....

This type of practice is often referred to as keyword 'spamming' and you should avoid this practice at ALL costs. You will risk becoming banned from the search engines altogether and this could affect the success of all future submissions. The engines may reject your page completely or downgrade it to force a severe drop in your ranking.The best ranking pages will often have a "healthy" amount of text on them with keywords repeated no more than 3 times in every Meta Tag... so take this into special consideration when designing your page.

There is absolutely no advantage in repeating keywords at all. You should instead consider the first 5 keywords in your Meta Tags as the keywords that you are promoting in order of relevance and importance.

Hint:
If you wish to include an additional list of keywords in the visible text of your page, use them in grammatically correct sentences.

Example:
A broad range of computers and software for sale. We stock monitors and games or printers. Best place for hardware shopping on the internet.
