karmacriminal Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 I am making up my list of Meta Keywords and I have a sizeable list and have two questions: #1 - does a size of the list matter? #2 - Is it OK to place other web site names (competitors names) in my Keywords Quote
Ms. Fausey Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 the list should be short and powerful. Lists that are too long are ignored by the search engines. It is considered rude to list competitors in your keywords. Quote
karmacriminal Posted April 17, 2003 Author Posted April 17, 2003 One more question.... When I look on my Site Reports in CPANEL is says GOOGLBOT has been to my site or spidered my site. This doesn't mean I will get posted to there engne will it? Quote
Onlinehelper Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 ************ #1 - does a size of the list matter? ************ Yes, the number of keywords in the meta tags and the description matters a lot to search engines like Google. If you cross a specific limit, your site gets banned for keyword spamming. ************ #2 - Is it OK to place other web site names (competitors names) in my Keywords ************ Yes, you can place the website names of your competitors, as long as they are not copyrighted. The best way to get the number of keywords to be added in meta tags is by viewing the meta tags of your competitors coming up within top 10 search results at Google. You also get several new keywords from it. ************* When I look on my Site Reports in CPANEL is says GOOGLBOT has been to my site or spidered my site. This doesn't mean I will get posted to there engne will it? ************* If googlebot has visited your website, then your website will be added to Google's index soon. If you want your site to be added as soon as possible, then try to get as many reciprocal links as possible, from other similar themed sites. Quote
