Way OT: Webpage keywords

Doing a quicky webpage for someone that is selling a product and wanted to know what and how to add information (keywords) to a homepage that will help search engines find it and better define it.

 

Anyone have any hints? Will most likely be using Dreamweaver or GoLive. But if you have the raw HTML that I can dd to it that would be fine as well.

Easy- View the sourcecode of the homepage of CGarchitect, and you will see TONS of keywords, descriptions, etc. You can see what type of headings Jeff has and add the keywords to match. I would also do the same thing for a similar product of which you are creating the web page for...that way you can find out what keywords are working for them.

Pretty much. Dreamweaver actually has a tool that will allow you to input key words, descriptions, etc. and then it places the code in the correct location with the correct headers for you. This is nowhere near as complete as what Jeff has here though. I would imagine that you could find an extension on the macromedia site that would do alot of this for you.

So does GoLive. Look for a small icon at the upper left of the page frame (above the actual page) with an 'expand' triangle that will allow you to edit and add keywords and metatags.

 

Don't forget to page title, as search engines look at those, as well.

Search Engine placement is a science all on its own. MrCAD from our forums helped a great deal to rank CGA where it is now, but what I have in place is still not as far as you could take it. Google changes its ranking and indexing algorithms on a very regular basis and what tricks work today, will not work tommorrow. There are entire websites devoted solely to search engine placement, but META tags are a given for any strategy.
