Google ignores the Meta Keywords tag, do we?

5:43 PM 0 Comments

I have been following many SEO forums and Blogs, I would like to share a key discussion on Meta Keywords Tag.


Even Though Google Ignores the Meta Keywords Tag, Do we (SEO Webmasters) afford to ignore this tag? Do any of the other Search Engines recognize the Tag?

The Meta Keywords tag has been explicitly ignored by the Search Gods - both Google and Bing. So they are ignoring this tag in the process of Ranking Algorithm or Search Results Algorithm. But I always recommend using Meat Keywords Tag because -

* It helps you identify the keywords you are targetting

* It helps the content creators to know on what keywords they need to draft the content

* It helps you make quick changes to the targeted keywords

* Finally it won't hurt you

You have to use this tag wisely by including only the targeted keywords of that page, Do not stuff all the keywords of the website. Do nto forget that the other Meta, Header tags - especially the Title, H1 / H2, and Meta Description tags are very very important.

Hope this helps!

Thinking of a Marketing Video for your product or services?

Good idea, but video will not help with your SEO if it is on your website.

Since Google can't view the actual video, We can actually benefit from the Title and Description for the Video we use while uploading the same to Youtube. Using your business specific keywords in Title and Description in the Youtube Video, The Video will be indexed and Searchable.

Then you can 'embed' your Youtube video on your own website. Also you can embed someone's Youtube videos on your site. How to embed a Youtube on your website - Find the video on Youtube. Click on the embed link, find the html code that you need to put a clip of the video on your site.

Also use some relevant text for the youtube video you embed on your website using your business keywords.

Sort Out Mails with Gmail’s Priority Inbox

6:38 AM 0 Comments

Some times, you receive so many emails that you start wondering how will you ever sort out the clutter. Now is the time for you to relax as as Google introduced a new experimental beta feature – Priority Inbox in Gmail to sort out your emails automatically. Starting september, several Gmail users have got the new Priority Inbox feature to prioritize their emails as per their requirements. The emails are sorted on the basis of your interaction with mails and particular contacts.


New Priority Inbox divides your Inbox into three categories – Important & Unread, Starred and Everything Else. The self explanatory category names will place the most significant mails under ‘Important and Unread’, mails you’ve marked as important would be placed under the ‘Starred’ section and the rest of the emails go in ‘Everything Else’ section.

This categorization takes place on the basis of your Gmail usage behavior – how often do you correspond to a particular sender, what mails you usually tend to open, etc. Do note that this new feature is in its beta mode at the moment and would be rolled out to all users gradually. Hence, you might have to manually tame it at times to determine which mail is important and which one is not. You already have Filters and Labels in your Gmail inbox to keep your emails organized. But when you receive emails in large amounts, Priority Inbox will make it easier to sort the most important ones and spend best time on it.
