Absolutely, you've highlighted a crucial point about the importance of keywords in search engine optimization. With the majority of users not venturing beyond the first search results page, it's clear that achieving a high organic page ranking is essential for visibility.

Incorporating relevant keywords strategically can significantly impact a website's chances of making it to that coveted first page. However, it's also important to ensure that keyword usage feels natural and provides value to users. Balancing optimization with user experience is key to not only attracting visitors but also keeping them engaged once they land on your page.

Thanks for sharing this insightful perspective on the significance of keywords in the ever-competitive online landscape.

Now meta keywords must be really compatible with the content the site is targeting. Can't throw out too many keywords

Hi! Great to see you diving into SEO! To clarify, meta keywords are outdated and no longer used by major search engines like Google, so it’s best to focus on optimizing visible page content instead. Include your target keywords naturally in your content without overstuffing—balance is key. You can safely skip adding meta keywords altogether, but definitely include your main keyword in the meta description to make it engaging and improve click-through rates. While keyword density isn't a strict rule, ensure keywords flow naturally within your text. Hope this helps—feel free to ask more!

Q1: You’re correct—stuffing keywords into the ‘meta keywords’ section without relevance to the page content is outdated and doesn’t really help with ranking anymore. Focus on what’s actually on the page.

Q2: No need to limit to exactly 8, but yes, keep it focused—around 5-8 relevant keywords is a good rule of thumb.

Q3: Yes! Include the keywords naturally in your content. Don’t overdo it—aim for a natural flow, and keep keyword density to about 1-2% of the page’s content.

Q4: It’s a good idea to include your keywords in the ‘meta description,’ but don’t just stuff them in. Make sure the description reads naturally and accurately reflects the content of the page.
