••••••>SEO Tips for Beginners: Know How Many Keywords to Use, Where When and How to Utilize Them

If you are seeking SEO tips for top rankings in Google and in Yahoo, you should know about the fundamental tips related to keyword usage. While it is nice to have keywords on your website so that you can draw more traffic to your pages, overuse of keywords or having too many keywords (keyword stuffing) can actually be to your detriment and make it more difficult to rank #1 in Google and the other search engines. You need to know where on your site and even on your pages keywords are best going to work for you and when you are using too many keywords also known as keyword density. The use of black hat SEO methods and the old SEO trick of keyword stuffing of your website content and articles with keywords is not only frowned upon by the search engine spiders, but can actual result in your website being banned from the SERP's. Search Engine Spiders and Web Crawlers are extremely sophisticated and the use of highly advanced algorithms will be able to immediately determine the value of your web pages content and best case not even list your web pages in search engines at all.

One of the best tips you can take advantage of is the act of keeping all of your keyword usage under 5 percent (of the total words) in terms of keyword density. What this means is that for every 100 words or so you are going to want to have some strategic keywords placed in your page's content. There are tools that many free online Keyword Density Tools that you can utilize to test the density of your web pages keywords: they will ensure that you do not go overboard with keyword usage in your articles and website content.

Keywords not only need to be placed within your content on your web pages, but for Best in Class SEO, you should also make use of them in your page's website address or URL, Directory and Sub-directory names, and in the carefully chosen meta tags and titles you create for your each individual web page of your site. Additionally, whenever and wherever you use images on your site, you will want to be certain to use keywords strategically in the ALT Tags as well. Keep in mind that all keywords, whether utilized in Meta tags, title tags, ALT tags, in URL's, Directories or Sub-Directories or in your pages content you should not go over the 5 percent limit in terms of keyword usage and keyword density.
