Self Studying SEO for around 1 year. Getting listed is not hard but getting listed on the 1st n 2nd in your main keywords is hard.

Metatag keywords is important but google dont really take it as a important part. Google goes for "relevancy". Some people insert tones of keywords in metatag hoping it will make some magic to their ranking in Google. It is a wrong idea.

Google uses a bot to go through every website. So it reads like a bot reading it and find your website is related to any keywords. So, wondering how a Bot read your website, is all in the view source. Some website is visually well design, with good images and javascripts. But most of the time they dont rank really well in Google. Try to view your website source and see. Is your website is full of scripting or content, description, keywords that is relevant.

So, what Im trying to say is try to make keyword frequency and density higher in content for the keyword you decide to specify. Try to insert the keyword you decide in the TITLE, meta Description, anchor text and repeating it a few times in your content in your page.

In my conclusion, CONTENT is the KING. Good content makes traffic, good content brings backllink, just make sure your content is bot readable. When you rank well in google for certain keywords, you no need to worry about Yahoo and MSN or others SE anymore. Of course there is more stuff to do in SEO but i think content goes 1st.

Just to share my thoughts, any advice and knowledge sharing is welcomed.
