|
|
Could someone give me an easy to understand explanation for the following questions:
1. What exactly are Keywords?
2. Where on your website do you place Keywords?
3. Why do some of the "find great keyword" programs give you keyword meta tags... ready to be pasted into your HTML file?
3a what is a keyword meta tag?
3b what is your HTML file?
I'm trying to boost the traffic to my website and I'm sure keywords are important, so I need to understand them better than I do. I'm looking at free programs, but I realize I don't have the basic knowledge I need to understand what the programs are trying to teach me. It's like getting a recipe to bake a cake, but you have no idea what a cake is!!! So how would you know in the end if you did it correctly?
Simple answers, please.
And any help is very much appreciated!

1. "keywords" are the terms you want to be found under in the search engines. Sometimes, some keywords are terms realted to your business that you never thought of but get a lot of searches that could lead to sales. This is why research is more important then just picking them off the top of your head.
2. Keyword meta tags and "peppered" in your content.
3. To save you the trouble.
3a. It is a tag that goes in the "head" of your html file.
3b. it is what the web browser renders as a website.
HTML is kind of vauge. For example, your site is a dynamic website pulling and storing content in a database. It basicly uses that content (from the database), your html based web template, & other factors to decide what to display "on the fly"... or as a visitor needs it.
A better example it this:
Website A) is built in what is called a "static website" built out of non-dynamic pages. Usually these are basic html pages. Index.html About.html, Contact.html etc. These pages are "built" and uploaded to the server. They exist all the time.
Website B) (and yours is more like this one) uses a complex single page to build the site as needed by the visitor. The more complex page is built and uploaded to the server. Index.html, About.html, Contact.html etc. don't actually exist on thier own, but rather are "rendered" by the browser when access is needed.
I hope that didn't confuse you more.
I wanted to basicly explain that most people say "HTML" when they don't always mean the programming language "HTML" but rather any programming language that is rendered by a browser.
