Website Keywords Status
Keywords in "title" tag This is one of the most important places to have a keyword because what is written inside the "title" tag shows in search results as your page title. The title tag must be short (6 or 7 words at most) and the keyword must be near the beginning.
Keywords in URL Keywords in URLs help rank well on SE’s - e.g. - http://domainname.com/seo-services.html, where “SEO services” is the keyword phrase you attempt to rank well for. But if you don't have the keywords in other parts of the document, don't rely on having them in the URL.
Keyword density in document text 3-7 % density is best, 1-2 % for minor Keywords. Keyword density of for major keywords over 10% is suspicious and looks more like keyword stuffing, than a naturally written text.
Keywords in anchor text The anchor text or link label is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. The words contained in the Anchor text can determine the ranking that page will receive by search engines. Keywords in anchor text help inbound links as well as page ranking.
Keywords in headings ("H1", "H2", etc. tags) Headings Offers special clues to the search Engines -- H1, H2, H3 in HTML-ese. Since headlines often contain important hints to the content of the webpage, search engines take note of any keywords found here.
Keywords in the beginning of a document Also counts, though not as much as anchor text, title tag or headings. However, have in mind that the beginning of a document does not necessarily mean the first paragraph – for instance if you use tables, the first paragraph of text might be in the second half of the table.
Keywords in
Keywords in metatags Less important, especially for Google. Yahoo! and MSN still rely on them, so if you are optimizing for Yahoo! or MSN, fill these tags properly. In any case, filling these tags properly will not hurt so do it.
Keyword proximity Keyword proximity measures how close in the text the keywords are. It is best if they are immediately one after the other (e.g. “dog food”), with no other words between them. For instance, if you have “dog” in the first paragraph and “food” in the third paragraph, this also counts but not as much as having the phrase “dog food” without any other words in between. Keyword proximity is applicable for keyword phrases that consist of 2 or more words.
Keyword phrases In addition to keywords, you can optimize for keyword phrases that consist of several words – e.g. “SEO services”. It is best when the keyword phrases you optimize for are popular ones, so you can get a lot of exact matches of the search string but sometimes it makes sense to optimize for 2 or 3 separate keywords (“SEO” and “services”) than for one phrase that might occasionally get an exact match.
Secondary keywords Optimizing for secondary keywords can be a golden mine because when everybody else is optimizing for the most popular keywords, there will be less competition (and probably more hits) for pages that are optimized for the minor words. For instance, “real estate new jersey” might have thousand times less hits than “real estate” only but if you are operating in New Jersey, you will get less but considerably better targeted traffic.
Keyword stemming For English this is not so much of a factor because words that stem from the same root (e.g. dog, dogs, doggy, etc.) are considered related and if you have “dog” on your page, you will get hits for “dogs” and “doggy” as well, but for other languages keywords stemming could be an issue because different words that stem from the same root are considered as not related and you might need to optimize for all of them.
Keywords Synonyms Optimizing for synonyms of the target keywords, in addition to the main keywords. This is good for sites in English, for which search engines are smart enough to use synonyms as well, when ranking sites but for many other languages synonyms are not taken into account, when calculating rankings and relevancy.
Keyword Mistypes Spelling errors are very frequent and if you know that your target keywords have popular misspellings or alternative spellings (i.e. Christmas and Xmas), you might be tempted to optimize for them. Yes, this might get you some more traffic but having spelling mistakes on your site does not make a good impression, so you'd better don't do it, or do it only in the metatags.
Keyword dilution When you are optimizing for an excessive amount of keywords, especially unrelated ones, this will affect the performance of all your keywords and even the major ones will be lost (diluted) in the text.
Keyword stuffing Any artificially inflated keyword density (10% and over) is keyword stuffing and you risk getting banned from search engines.

3 Explanation Of Search Engines And Search Engine Spiders
A search engine is quite simply a large database of information. This information is stored in the form of records and is gathered from websites throughout the World Wide Web.
In order to gather this information, search engines use automated software programs known as ‘search engine spiders ‘, which are commonly referred to as ‘spiders’ or ‘bots’. Search engine spiders perform in the same way that web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer and Firefox) would, except that they are much more limited in what they can do, i.e. they cannot accept Cookies or read JavaScript for example. The sole purpose of a search engine spider is to gather website information and send it back to the search engine database. Search engine spiders use the links between websites as a means of finding their way around the web; this is what is known as ‘crawling’. As a spider follows the links from website to website, it is crawling the web for new content and information.
New content collected from a spider is sent to, and analysed by the search engines ‘algorithm’, the algorithm determines what the web page is about and how it should be ranked in relation to other records (or websites) in its database. There are over 100 different factors that an algorithm will use to analyse a website, and the algorithm will vary from search engine to search engine. This is because different engines put more weighting (or importance) on different factors. Once the algorithm has finished, the new web page is then added to the search engines ‘index’. The index is a term commonly used when describing a search engines database.
When a user enters a query into a search engine such as Google, the query is then sent back to the search engine algorithm. The algorithm then pulls all the relevant records from its Index, and determines which records are the most relevant for that keyword and ranks them accordingly.
