Google-Spanked
Well, I learned a HARD lesson in the past few weeks about ranking on Google and getting on the first page of the search results with my cb-radio.siterubix site.
It would seem that for some odd reason, Google does not like it when you stuff too many keywords (or tags) into your SEO-toolkit. Well thousands really.
Here I was plugging away with JAAxy, researching new keywords to add to my articles and finding dozens of high ranking terms that I could use. Everytime I would find another high ranking one I would add it to the list. This went on for weeks. As I noticed the sales going down I got more desperate and added even MORE, thinking that it would help to put me back on the first page and hopefully in the top five results. NOPE
Not even a kiss goodbye
Apparently Google tends to frown upon this practice and will flag your site as spam, or playing the system and knock you back to page 900 or so, never to be found again if at all.
I have fixed all the keywords and hope that over time I can slowly climb back to the first page of a Google search. This means that I either have to wait a few weeks (or months) or I can start a new site and get back up to page #1 again.
The point of this little whine, is be careful how many keywords you use in the SEO-toolkit. I have been told that the recommended number is 6 to 8, and then use keywords throughout your articles, making a light keyword salad where the keywords appear naturally in your sentence structure.

You know, back in the day that is the way marketers did it. I could never write that way so I was kind of left out in the cold. Now I get on fine with Google, knock on wood, because I just write and let Google do what Google will. Be careful, especially newer folks to Internet Marketing that you don't get old outdated information. What happens on the Internet pretty much stays on the Internet forever! LOL So careful and make sure your information is up to date. A lot has changed in just the past two years.
You don't get kissed or missed. They are happy to take your money though. They must be run by teenagers.
Och!! Thank you for the heads up My task right now is learning about all of this, whew Cant wait tell one day my head isn't spinning
Actually, Google will figure out what your keyword is. You don't even need to put it into the SEO list.
Write good content, put your main keyword in the title and first paragraph and leave it at that. Keep it natural and don't worry about the keywords.
Are we talking about the All in One SEO pack here? Do we really NOT need to add KW there anymore? I really hate doing it, and would love for someone to tell me I'm wasting my time by doing it!
There are other ways of course to by-pass google. google is great from the POV of a consumer,, but if you are building traffic there are other ways. I have a love hate relationship with google. For research, they are the best. For getting traffic.. well they are not the best way, and as you have experienced, a perilous way.
