Fifteen places you must put your Keyword Phrase and the why behind it…

Welcome to another direct, to the point and content rich edition of The Keyword Informer.

In this issue, we’re going to look at the various places you want to utilize and place your preferred keyword phrases.

I have already conveyed a number of the points that will follow in different articles, discussions, and especially in the weekly NicheBOT Quick Fix Clinic and Live Q&A Show. However, I was looking to create a combined list (a sort of checklist) that one can easily reference to make sure they are not missing any hotspots. ;)

And rather than include a simple quick list of all the places to put your keyword phrases, I’ve included a short discussion as to the why behind it so you have the proper foundation in the placement of your keyword phrases.


Some of the following places are obvious, some of them may not be. Either way, I’ve included visual aids within this article as well for the next time you approach your next website renovation or promotional project.

    Keyword phrases in your domain names – some may initially think this is for some huge SEO (search engine optimization) benefit to have the keyword phrase in your domain name. Wrongo – I have so many key word domains and they seem to rank well for the search term – I think I have to disagree with you on this one.

    You make a good point about having a key phrase in your domain name or URL, in the fact that some websites do not allow you to add anchor text to your links, so this helps not only if you are trying to build back links yourself or if people are naturally linking to your website.

    If I am honest I have to say I am confused, i was always under the impression that keywords domain were very important. Then again, perhaps Google would consider domain names from LSA point of view?

    Now that would be interesting.

    This is vauble and good advice, it starts off with some wuite simple pointer but really becomes very advances towards the end. I esspecially like the sectrion on where NOT to put your keywords – great informative reading that we can all learn from.

    Oh and just for the record I dont think Key words in your domains are a bad thing, but i dont think they are a massive benift. Its more a benifit for the user rather than the SE in my book.

    Good list, but not all are equally important – if you do a little less of X then you just add for Y.

    I have to agree with SEO Birmingham. Having the exact keyword in the domain name helps.

    Great article!
    I’ve been using all these techniques in my website. I just want to say that I’ve been use Alt and Title on images (more for my ecomerce websites) and use them carefully could be a good improvement for your organic search results and traffic.

    Great Article Jim! You lay it out in a very simple and easy to understand style. I am especially a big fan of the screen-shots that you included into the posts… a big help for those who are not quite up to speed on all the technical seo jargon. Thanks again!

    Hey Jim, Just stumbled accross this and even in 2010 there is still some great information.
    With regard to ALT tags isn’t it a good idea to ALT tag images that are related to the page?
    SO if you are on a page selling oranges and you have a picture of Oranges it is fine to name the file oranges.jpg and ALT tag it with oranges.
    This has two benefits
    1. it gets your keywords into the alt tag which helps SEO
    2. this is the biggie, if someone finds your image through Google Images and then downloads it, google counts that as a vote for the image!

    Thanks again

    I was not implementing the idea of placing the keyword in internal linking. Thanks for such a comprehensive post on this topic
