Selecting
Keywords -
Most of the time when people use a search engine they
search for common words or phrases like game, travel, music or
sex. These words are called "key words" or
"keywords". Because of this webmasters try to use key
words that are likely to be searched for included within their
page. The more often a key word shows up the more likely the
page will rank higher in a search engine. If you over do it
however you can actually be rejected by a search engine. That is
why webmasters try to make each page relative to only one to
three key words. They then use those key words as the first
words within their HTML meta tags, image tags, heading
tags, title tag, text link tags, alt tags and even the file name
of the page itself. Once you have chosen your keywords you will
want to come back and use the Meta Tag Maker below to create
your meta tags.

Title
Tag: All the experts we asked feel that the what title you
give your site or page is one of the most important factors
in search engine positioning. The title is between the
<title></title> tags in your HTML. It should be
captivating and contain keywords. You should keep it under
10 words. The title tag should be the first tag after the
<head> tag.

Alt Tags: This tags create the words that appear when you
hold the curser over an image. These words should also be
rich with keywords.

your HTML. Meta tags are how many of the search engines
